[TEC] BB Missouri small cannon fire

Fearless · 11-14-18, 05:16 PM

Hi team, I'm on a roll here now that I have the BB Missouri up an running with funnel smoke working thanks to direction from s7rikeback and Bleiente, I've found that the secondary cannons (the ones on the port and starboard sides) only fire for a short time than no longer react to 'man the cannon' command even after giving them plenty of ammo.

Is there a way I can correct this at all? The main tripple barrel cannons work flawlessly.

Thanks in advance.

Where are you defining their ammo load? And I assume you're talking about the 5" twin mounts?

Hi ETR3(SS),
Thanks for your response. Yes, I couldn't remember what they were called but I increased the ammo amount in \Data\Library\ShipParts\guns_radars_03.sim.
There are no .sim files relating to the 5" twin barrel in the USParts folder.

When I get SH4 reinstalled (new D:\ drive) I'll take a look into it. I'm familiar with it, but only at length as I didn't play with surface ships that much. Time frame probably monday as it's opening weekend for deer season.

Much appreciated.

So what I've got so far is the 5" twin mount is under guns_radars, the sim file lists it as having 250 AP rounds and 250 AA rounds. Compared to the 16" triple mount which has 300 AP rounds. This brings us to rate of fire (per the game files), 5" is 2(salvo) rounds every 2.5 seconds and 16" is 3(salvo) rounds every 30 seconds. So in a little over 5 minutes of sustained fire the 5" mounts will run dry and 50 minutes the 16" mounts will run out.

So if we want to equal this out (assuming we leave the 16" alone) we need to adjust reload time to around 30 secs, or increase the magazine to 2500 rounds.

Now to test the hypothesis!
