Firing behaviour of primary and secondary weapons

I did a test sail using the Aconid and tried each of the weapons by firing at a destroyer.

I have enabled the controls option “Fire primary and secondary guns with the same key”.

I noticed that I can fire each of the three gun classes separately using the firing button (left mouse button). For this I need to switch between the weapons (L.Ctrl.+E). But I can not fire secondaries and main gun with the same button and at the same time (i.e. without switching weapon control). Why? Isn’t this what the mentioned options should enable?

It’s a bug
It’s 57 guns in “triggerGroup”: “machinegun” instead of “triggerGroup”: “secondary”, and 40 mm in “triggerGroup”: “secondary” instead of “triggerGroup”: “machinegun”.

It was reported, but devs refuse to regroup them despite it’s obviously a bug.

Great, thank you Gaijin ;-(

This way Aconit is useless. Firepower is far to restricted when using only large or medium caliber.

Thanks a lot for your answer! Is there a workaround? Can I patch that locally?
