Looking great!

Five hundred rounds of AP? She didn't really carry that many, did she?

http://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WNFR_8-50_m1924.htm This site says the Surcouf carried 300 rounds per gun. Does that mean per barrel? Of course, being a commerce raider she'd probably carry mostly HE shells.

keltos01 · 12-07-10, 03:51 PM

500 rounds = 250 per barrel...

ship spotted 12500 meters away, only the mast stick out of the horizon

seen from the ship : notice how close those shells pass !

ooops it's an ally !! !

Frenchmen...

Earlier this evening we managed to make a splash less than 100 meters from a line of 3 japanese destroyers.
Tried to make them pay attention to us - range 16500 meters...!

What can one say? But, "they're French!"

I can only hope you'll make a TMO compatible version. I feel the need to blast some things with those 8s...

rein1705 · 12-08-10, 07:07 AM

My love! Submarines and big guns all rolled into one!!

O yes please make it TMO compatible.

The French at least has a helluva idea when they made this baby!

That fight would all depend on who spotted who first, and how they were spotted. If the I-400's planes spotted the Surcouf first, the Surcouf is finished, but if they spotted each other on the surface then the I-400 is finished.

Do the guns still cross the lower part of the turret when lowered at max? Would it be possible to correct this glitch?
