Looks good.
For campaign need it centered on bow forward as was previously, put a .50 where the spotlight is(laer upgrade to 20 mm). Historically, seen photos they mounted 37 mm forward near bow. where spotlight is in game 20 mm (single or twin) or .50 (single or twin). For campaign purposes I'd liek to have it where the gun layout can be customized a bit like in the sub campaign but typical from November 1943 on would be: 40MM single on bow. Twin .50 in "spotlight" position, twin 20 MM cannons port and starboard...all act was deck guns. Single 40 MM stern, AA gun. If could squeeze one more 50.cal or 20 mm in stern behind stern 40 thatd be great. Of course if player wanted twin 20's on bow, could do so etc. July 43 layout would be Single 40mm on bow. 50 cal in spotlight area. twin 20 MM's P/S gun positions. 20 MM AA gun stern. Still getting a lot worked out. |

Lol well they were heavily armed gunboats more than torpedo points by mid-late war. Many had rocket launchers on as well in 44/45. |

I can't find the article I found the other day (on the web), but they completely removed the torpedoes from a lot of the boats that were just used to patrol the shore line of some of the Japanese occupied islands, and their whole purpose was to interfere with supply drops, and shoot-up anything that moved on-shore... A torpedo boat without torpedoes though... does it lose the name then?.... - I think I would have tried to get me some armoring for that plywood though, with some of the weight-savings of getting rid of the torps...

Yep, typically they removed the two aft torpedo roll off racks(stopped using the tubes to save weight and to eliminate the flash caused by poweder charges when fired, giving away their position at night) to save weight, some would carry depth charges or just use the extra room for more weapony. Kept two torpedoes in case ran into anything worthy of a torpedo. Find it interesting after stopped using old Mark 8 torpedoes, they were using Mark 13, aerial torpedoes . Assume becase they were lighter/shorter than Mark 15 etc but had a nice punch still. Look up PT-658 on youtube, its a tour of the vessel. While it's a higgins PT but seen videos of elcos with similar gun/rocket/torpedo layout. |
