Honestly, it is one of my favorite aspects of the mod, something I've wanted since first day I ran SH 4. Always annoyed me tremendously that UBI did not give us AA guns that were multi purpose.
Of course, I do not use them on anything more than a fishing boat or small craft (unless finishing off a torpedoed maru) unless in a desperation situation, such as what you mentioned. Nice to have your gun crews do something so you can captain boat.
Of course the downfall right now is that they are tied in with the main deck gun. I plan to to try and make the 40 and 20 MM's as separate deck guns from the main deck gun, them being linked annoys me but its a great fix for now. I have been told there is a way in development to make them multi purpose, able to attack surface targets and aircraft (if needed) which will be ideal.
Glad you are enjoying it, after six patrols in 1941-end of 1942 in a Salmon(managed to survive), taking a break to run with a Balao in 1944, test out some things and get a change of pace before returning to main career, trying to survive entire war in the Salmon Class, no easy feat in TMO.
