REQ - Permission for use a guns library

VonDos · 05-22-16, 07:36 AM

Hi everyone!
While finally testing RM Aquila new carrier, i've readed original project's specifications about guns:

MAIN --> 8 × 135 mm (5.3 in)/45 cal guns
SECONDARY --> 12 × 65 mm (2.56 in)/64 cal guns
A\A --> 132 × 20 mm (0.79 in)/65 cal

At moment ingame model use as secondary guns 4.0 in. single from standard guns library. Powerfull. Too powerfull in place of a 65mm cannon.

I've searched into my library folder a more "historical" or similar gun, i've found "76mmRSingle" from gunsVaa_Liliput.dat, i think from "Vaa_Liliput"
I've searched this member but i can find he, for ask permission to use his guns in final release. Does anyone know how to contact him for ask?
Naturally if ok for him, i'll give credits

I can't find an user by that name or any name close to it. Where did you get the file from?

@ VonDos

Bitts and railings on the lower deck are black rather than metal-gray. Did you make them like this on purpose or what is going on with their texture?

gap · 05-22-16, 11:09 AM

135 mm/45 (5.3") Models 1937 and 1938
65 mm/64 (2.56") Model 1939
20 mm/65 Models 1935, 1939 and 1940 (Breda)

The 20mm guns were in a uncommon sextuple-mount configuration. I would be curious to see how they looked like

Thanks everyone! PM sent to Denis_469, waiting for..

@gap, yes, i've painted them black

in this "detailed" pic they looks bad, but if you see the entire unit from a "normal" distance the effect is really good

I think sextuple-mount configuration was just a project version, never realized (ingame i've used a quadruple more generic a\a)

Were there really so many A/A guns ???

British Illustrious class carriers had 16 x 4.5" guns, 48 x 2pdr and 40 x 20mm.

American Essex class carriers carried 12 x 5" guns, 72 x 40mm and 52 , 20mm.

They had a bit of protection.

VonDos · 05-23-16, 12:11 PM

Japanese Shinano had:

8 × twin 12.7 cm Type 89 dual-purpose guns
35 × triple 25 mm Type 96 AA guns
12 × 28 – 12 cm (4.7 in) AA rocket launchers

O_O

Whatever you think looks better

I asked about bitts and railings not because I didn't like their current colour, but because I thought they could be missing their texture

About the guns, if I find good pictures, with my time I might model the Italian 65 mm/cal 64 gun, and possibly the 135 mm/cal 45, if they are not featured in any of the SH games yet.

VonDos · 05-25-16, 02:13 PM

Hi gap =) i'm not an expert in mod library models \ guns, but post if you want the pics, they can be really interesting!

BTW, Vaa allow me to use gunsVaa_Liliput library =) so release is really near!

mikey117us · 05-25-16, 03:34 PM

Also Gap is it possible to think of Modeling Single and Twin 12.7mm Breda SAFAT Heavy AA Machine Guns? The Twin SAFAT was also mounted on Turm VIIC/1 in 23 and 29 Flottillas in the Med, Real U-Boat Mod! They expanded and lenghthened the Wintergartens to give extra AA Defenses and mounted these built under license By Pre-War Agreement Browning M2 .50 caliber MGs Breda Manufactured. Breda also Sold Permission to the Japanese to build them as Aircraft Armaments and Vessel AA.

Be aware that GWX 3 uses his Guns files already.

VonDos · 05-25-16, 04:27 PM

Hi Jeff!
I think files are same, shouldn't be a problem to overwrite them with JSGME or manually

(tested on my SH3+GWX3+a lot of mods)
