Flak guns - extremely long reload time

mhj1992 · 05-21-17, 04:20 PM

I recently discovered that on my u-boat my flak guns (3.7cm and 2cm) are taking an extraordinary amount of time to reload when they are fired empty. I would estimate the time of reload for both at well over 10-15 seconds for each. My deck gun is also slightly faster than normal. (Changing deck gun options in commander doesn't seem to have any effect)

I have two trained flak gunners and full crew efficiency when I am testing this to see if it changes from patrol to patrol. Any ideas on what is causing this ? Or how to fix it ?

I believe it depends on the type of gun.

The 3,7cm cannon (at least the first one) has always taken it's time reloading. Depending on which 2cm you're talking about, it should take some time if you're using the Flakvierling. Remember, each barrel is reloaded individually.

Hi mhj1992
for change reload time flakgun you must find a file called Guns_sub.sim you have to change the values whitin.

its located in sh3/data/library folder.

Just use SH III commander and you will be able to decrease/increase the loading time of the flak and more ....................
Otherwise if nothing change, you have a bug, cause SH III does the job perfectly here.

Hi fanuboat
Sh3 commander change just loading time of deck gun not flak gun
You cannot change loading time of flak gun here.

Yeah i think i misunderstood or confond with the flak and deck gun ^^
Otherwise something true is to decrease the load time of your flak, better is your crew faster you will reload your flak.

And what program can I open the file "Gun_sub.sim" for changing the parameters of the antiaircraft recharge? It opens with notepad, but it's impossible to change anything.
Thanks for the answer!

Many thanks for your reply and your attention! But I have been using this program for a long time. I have successfully used this program in sh5 (folder - Object / Gun ...) I wanted to clarify which files in SH3 2015, and in which folders and files (librery) to open for artillery changes? Many thanks!
