SD(air search) is not available until late Dec 41 and it costs a lot of renown until around Mar 1943. This was changed because at time US entered the war, SD was a new technology and most boats (especially Asiatic boats and S boats) did not have SD at start of the war.
this is documented and i misunderstood, mostly because i saw the displays. that's on me.

The mod increases the number, but you have to wait until they are available.
i did not read the docs on this mod. i saw it and enabled it thinking that decoys would be available early.

I am guessing in the training you were at GQ or had the guns ordered manned, so they become active and ability to fire manually.

So assuming you want them to shoot at surface targets, keep the AA to Deck Gun+Radio mod enabled. When you see a surface target, call GQ or order deck gun manned and you if desire can man and fire the gun manually then.

I thought I explained this in the README, if I did not or was not detailed enough, I apologize and will make sure next README covers this.
this one will take a bit of time to get used to. the situation i experienced within the career included being at GQ with the position manned and ready. when i attempted to man the AA gun manually, it would not operate at all, which was NOT the same behaviour when we were in sub school. that made it confusing.

that mod has fixes for all of the date, cfg, sns errors. it is easier to keep all of those in a separate mod. i sent you the error log via PM. Hopefully, they will be fixed in a future release and i can drop this mod from the list.

OTC is not compatible with the TMO update as from what I understand, others who try have had CTD. The creator of OTC or somehow are welcome to try make it compatible with my TMO mod.[/QUOTE]

ok. thanks for clarifying.
