40mm gun (and the 20mm for that matter) - no effect whatsoever, even on sampans. Also the aiming ring for the 40mm just looks all wrong. I'm not sure they were any use even playing stock, mind you that seems like a wartime ago.

Is my mistake to man the guns myself or should I just let the crew handle them ?

Or is there a good mod for this ?

Or am I just a crap shot ?

My guess is Door#3 :haha:

[Inner Sound]

Thanks for that.

[FIREWALL]

Even the 40mm uses alot of ammo on a sanpan.

Deck Gun is always the ticket tho. :yep:

[Inner Sound]

Ok, thanks Firewall. Bummer - I really like shooting the guns. Guess I'll let the crew at them next time. Suppose they enjoy it too. Maybe they've been loading me blanks out of pique.

I think sometimes it's because the patrols are so boring that when we see any target, we want alittle hands on. :DL

Most players don't mess with small stuf except for target practice.

Sorry about first post Inner Sound. Was just being goofy. :p2:

Still on my TMO 1.9 carreer. The 40 works great on ships in 1.9, probably too powerful, so he may have nerfed it down for 2.0. It was weak in 1.8, so maybe went back to that setting. Still, I find the 40 the killer for aircraft.

I would check the readme in TM0 2 and see what the readme says about the 40 or post there.

Just read that this "Bug fixes only" Mod fixes something sounding very much like your problem.

..I'd post the linke here now, yet I can't find it anywhere. Author's name was Webster, but he did so many things, I can't find his big compilation..

[Inner Sound]

No problem FIREWALL - my analyst tells me it's all about sex anyway, and he's got it even worse.

Raven79, maybe you mean the Game Fixes Only mod, which I'm not sure we're allowed to run with TMO. I'll just let the crew man the popguns.

I don't remember touching the 40 Mike mike when working on version 2.0. If it ain't broke, i don't fix.

More likely then not, someones using AA burst rounds instead of HE rounds on surface targets. It's not immediately obvious which rounds your using unless you click them a couple times, but as i recall, it defaults to AA burst rounds. (which i gave a 12 meter area effect splash damage, they just don't do as much damage as HE rounds)

[Bubblehead1980]

The HE rounds for 40 MM bofors work well on small surface ships, I shot up two 1000 ton tugs off Hokkaido last patrol, fun stuff.They are realistic.The AA bursts, just wish I could see the flak puffs in the sky, can only hear them.I agree though, someone may be using the AA shells instead of HE rounds and getting steamed because it doesnt take out surface targets well.

Just wish could get the AA gun crews to fire on surface targets so as captain you dont have t man them.ah well.

The 40 Mike Mike is like a giant shotgun :D


I love it. You need a giant shotgun to take down the birds around this pond. :haha:

.The AA bursts, just wish I could see the flak puffs in the sky, can only hear them.

There's a bug i couldn't figure out where if you man the guns yourself, you won't see the flak burst. If you let your AA gun crew do the aerial shooting, you *should* see them. I purposely tuned them so they detonate in visual range so they could be seen.

[Bubblehead1980]

I've never seem them but its ok, just glad you made the 40 MM into a decent weapon against surface and air targets.In stock the 40 MM was rather weak.

[Inner Sound]

Wadya mean "someone" ?!

The idiot that's been loading the big shotgun with self-disintegrating fruit salad instead of good old hard-boiled eggs/HE is moi.

My crew and I embark on our next pretend dance with death humbled but more deadly.

Off topic: just read "Unbroken: the story of a submarine". Best you read it for yourself rather than anything I could say.
