Hi gosd, do you have a specific ship in mind? Usually its more making sure the gun xdps are right.

The stock american cruiser has a problem with the m3d, where only the front half of the modelled gunstations are working. The rear 8in turret and the rear AA guns do not work but nothing can be done about it.

In the Guns folder, all the gun xdps have a "type=" entry. All flak_gun types will engage aircraft. All the guns without a "targetcategory=" entry will also engage all types of enemy including enemy if I understand things correctly.

In the ship xdp, the pan and elevation of all gunstations can be changed but really they shouldn't need to be touched.
 
This reminds me of a mission in which after crashing I was still able to remain 'in game' and
witness opposing ships continue to destroy each other...

I believe I was now in the guise of an oil slick... ----:kilroy:----
