Manual Edit of data\Menu\Menu.txt required for new 10.5 cm Deck Gun mouse over Tool Tip.

6936=10.5 cm Deck Gun
6937=<b>10.5 cm Deck Gun</b>|<orange>Good vs. unarmed ships</orange>|It can be most effective against unarmed ships and for coup de grace hits to conserve the limited torpedo supply. The safest way to use the gun is to position the boat at the stern of the target and pointed towards it in order to reduce the exposed surface and minimize the boat's rolling and pitching. The gun is useless against most warships, their arsenal can easily outgun the U-boat.|<green>Left click to use the 10.5 cm Deck Gun.</green><red>Cannot use when submerged.</red>

This MOD still has a lot of work to be done to it.

Dates and Renown costs still need some adjustment.

There are still many other equipment items that exist in stock game we do not as yet have access to even with this MOD.

PERMISSION FOR USE:
You are free to combine this MOD with others as long as proper credits are given.

Basically, I corrected some Type-O errors that prevented some equipment from being listed in the Upgrades Menu.
I also found many equipment items in game that were not exposed to Kapitan's visiting the in port Mechanic.

Please read thread [TEC]Adding Upgrade Packs for more details.


I know that some of these items do not belong on the Typ-VII but as MOD'ing of SH5 progresses, these and many other items will be needed.

This mod add the extra equipment related to the WWII years?

[Jaguar]

Sounds very good. Do you have a list of the extra equippment on the mod? Just askink because can´t download it now and it seems there will be some conflicts with MO and stoianm renow costs zero mods.

Btw, does the snorkel work on the game? If not big problem and big bug .

[stoianm]

i will upload soon a version compatible with the TheBeast mod.... first i want to know if the upgrades are related to the WWII years

As a rule of thumb, the best way to install this kind of mod is when in bunker. You don´t have to start a new campaign, AFAIK only icebergs mod requires that. This is why I´m not going to see them in the near future.

This MOD does not require new campaign. You can load while at sea or in port.
