GWX 2.1 Missing Guns problem

[Ruzbasan]

I did a fresh install of SH3-1.4b-GWX2.0-GWX 2.1. No other mods installed.

I checked out all the ships in the museum and found the following bugs:

Tirpitz- missing all gun turrets
Troop ship- missing all guns
Large merchant- missing all guns
Dorsetshire, Kent, and London- all have German main gun turrets

Any idea how to fix this?

Did you check all years on each unit?
If the Tirpitz did not have Guns in '39 in Real Life?
It does not have guns in '39 in GWX.
Same with other units.

Well, I'll be...your right, the guns do appear at the correct year. :up:

The only problem left is the main guns on the British cruisers. Was it intentional that they look like the german turrets?

thats what they looked like

the turrets on all these ships look much the same as the German guns found on bismarck and tirpitz

Thanks for the images. That explains why they look as they do.

The GWX team did an amazing job on this mod!

that they did... tons of research, almost no stone left unturned. check the GWX manual when you get a chance, you will be enlightened... there is at least 20 pages of cited sources alone! the entire manual is about 600 pages long and answers almost any conceivable question regarding GWX, ragning from historical fact, to recreation of historical events like D-day in GWX, to how radar and torpedos work in real life etc

it is one of the best technical writings i have read in a long time, even if you just search for a key word to help you solve your own future questons it is very important to read at least some of this manual :up:

Just thought I would share this alternative solution...

I have updated my GWX 2.1 installation to enable Tirpitz to have her guns just like in GWX 2.0 and 1.03, whereby she has her guns from the beginning of the war.

I know its not exactly realistic because she didnt get her guns until later in the war but ho hum! Its just the way I like to play it. :D

I like to see Tirpitz, an awesome sight as I leave Wilhelmshaven. :yep:

All Ive done is to swap the Tirpitz equipment file for the GWX 2.0 one and it seems to do it. Ive tested it and it seems alright.

All this is, is an alternative. You can install it using JSGME or uninstall it to restore the original GWX2.1 Tirpitz guns layout.
