[WIP] Arming my own ocean liners °_° as requested!

[VonDos]

Hi everyone!
Stop unarmed, easy tons!
No more 50000 tons with deckgun after 1942!
After Titanic launch, i'm trying to spend last holiday days ibn arming my ocean liners collection.

For example this is SS REX; weapons are based on standard NPPL_ SH3 liner, before arming date they're used as cargo crates;

Empress of Britain, QM, QE and Normandie will follow!
Aquitania was armed at first release!

If the gun restraints are not correct in the sim?
The Ship will damage itself!!

@Privateer: i remember first test on RM Aquila; self-kaboom XD she shoot about herself! Every node must be regulated in base of ship's place: side\front\rear.
For semplify this, i've used the same nodes placing of NPPL_ standard liner, and the same guns. BTW i'll need some beta tester, yes; someone interested?
Tomorrow i'll finish Queen Mary, and test will start ^_^

Regards, VD

[Madox58]

Very Nice VonDos.
(I hate refering to you as VD!!)
:rotfl:

[roadhogg]

Good stuff VonDos, thank you mate :)

Transforms these ships from turkey shoot practise into a dangerous target, as they should have been.

If they weren't armed during the war they should have been, given the amount of cargo or troops they could carry, or the Allied governments would have a lot to answer for ( jpm1). I doubt the decks of these ships were re-inforced enough to carry things like 15 inch guns ( Hartman), especially when fired, ( interesting idea tho :) ) but the smaller guns like on the PPL's would have been no problem if mounted on shock absorbing platforms.

As you may know VonDos i've been waiting for this mod for ages. Stirling work :up:

[Task Force]

Working fine for me.;)

[VonDos]

Well ^_^

Have you tryed everyone in single mission?
Maybe a battle between giant liners? :hmm: :up:

BTW, thanks!
Waiting for other reports, after that i'll release!
