Sad Flak gun reloading times

[danurve]

Even on the duals and qualified crewman the flak gun reloading times are terrible. While Commander lets you tweek the deck guns a tad Im looking for a way to sharpen the flak reload a bit. Now I usually use a qualified Seaman not a PO for gunners. Hope Im not spinning my wheels.

You can use timetraveller's mini-tweaker program to change this. The file you want to change is GUNS_SUB.sim in the \SilentHunterIII\data\Library folder.

You're spinning yer props. Flack is useless. Dive, dive , dive!! Staying on the surface is pretty watching those planes bomb and strafe you. :dead:

Yah. The flak guns are supposed to be a last-ditch defense against planes in the event a sub can't dive, considering the original u-boats are NOT technically submarines, but surface combatants which can submerge to a certain extent.

Hold on.

You're using SH3Cmdr, have you got the malfunctions & sabotage enabled? Flak Gun reloading times are affected by the malfunction mod, this simulates saltwater exposure.

Good thought and I double checked, but nope I'm not using that option.

Yeah you sound like fun at a party. :-j

Some folks don't remember that Silent Hunter III/IV is just a Game.

HEY! Joea's a hoot at parties! SH is not 'just' a game. Q-Bert is just a game. Pac-Man is just a game. Some of us play sims because we want to lose ourselves in a dream that we could never fulfill in real life. If you want to play it as 'just' a game, that's fine. Please allow the rest of us losers our pathetic fantasies!:p
