Cruiser Fwd 5" Gun
« on: April 15, 2011, 12:28:11 PM »
I wish that the Fwd 5" gun on the Cruisers wasn't buried behind the 8" gun.  You are unable to shoot directly fwd because the shells inpact the 8" gun mount. Can't this be raised like the aft gun is?

No. It was buried on the real ship, so you get the same limitations.

Have someone drive the ships properly and a significantly higher percentage of guns can be brought to bear.
