How to change Flak guns?

[kurfürst]

Hallo Kaleuns,

could anyone of you tell me how I have to change/modify files in SHIV to have a 3.7cm FK M42 Flak-Zwilling on my IX C/40 or IX D2 rather than the standard 3.7cm C/30 single Flak gun? Would like to have my loved IX C/40 look like this one:

This only regards "single missions", no uboat missions or patrols where the armament can be changed. This is my last "how can I modify... question" for the rest of the year, promised!

Wishing You all a quiet and relaxing Christmas!

Best Wishes, Kurfürst

Hi Lurker,

thank you for your quick response!
And of course many thanks for your great efforts regarding "Operation Monsun"!
You brought life to SH IV Uboat Missions! Great Work!
Vielen Dank und "Fröhliche Weihnachten"!

P.S.: Do You know anybody who´s got the time and skills to re-work a type
IX C/40´s conning tower as in the above picture? With the snorkel tube, life raft canisters, and so on... would be great to have a more realistic Uboat sailing across my screen...
