Yes, this is likely. Doesn't increasing K-gun's range settings help, at least a bit?

I would like to use it for the double squid

Yep, I had this in mind already. Creating port and starboard versions of the squid mortar will be as easy as flipping a few polygons.

During the last few days I took a break, but at this point and with the pictures you have recently posted, finishing the model wont take too long.

One question: does SHIII support ambient occlusion and normal maps for ship equipments and ammonition?

Navweaps says "Double Squid mortars can be seen at the end of the after deckhouse". Difficult actually seeing them in such a low res picture, but I have found a drawing showing armament's arrangement of the modified Battle-class destroyers, and it got what could be one or a pair of squid lauchers near the stern:



As a matter of fact, It is stated on Wikipedia that "On some vessels, the Squid installations were at the stern – the bombs were fired over the length of the ship and dropping into the sea slightly ahead of it". This description seems to apply to the mentioned class of destroyers. On the other hand, I doubt HMS Barrosa being equipped with a couple of mortars. Her Wikipedia page reports the destroyer having only one Squid laucher, just like the remaining ships of her class, and the navweaps picture I posted a few days ago clearly show the pattern created by a single mortar, not two.

Thank you Gary, I have a dropbox account already, but I didn't know it could be used for private messaging
