Ammo Zones.dat, FUMO391 & Batt Recharge

[SeaSlug_U999]

Could someone please tell me how can I find a specific type of ammo in the ammo zones.dat? I'm looking for the 105mm (deck gun) and 37mm flak.

Also has anyone figured out what's wrong with the FUMO391 Radar for XXI? It was supposed to go on top of the snorkel, but it isn't, and I don't know how to move it (perhaps this is why the SH3 engine says 'Radar Destroyed)

Also, XXI batts recharge time is awfully long, and never reaches 100%. There a 2 fixes to that. Either increase engine power (diesel) to 5500 (from 5000) - hex edit .sim in the XXI submarine folder. The second variant (I haven't tried it yet), it implies lowering the electrical engine power (E_propulsion in the .sim file) - from 4000 to perhaps 3000.

Problems: By increasing the power of the diesel engines result in an increase of speed (2-3knots every 500 units).

Effect on E_propulsion: unknown.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Hello, Sea Slug. Several of us are actually already trying to fix the XXI submarine bugs. In fact, we were looking for ways to fix the XXI battery bug, among other things. I am going to try the e_propulsion fix asap and let you know what I find.

Also, I believe someone has had some success fixing the snorkel radar. I just need to contact them and see if they will let me use it in an XXI fix mod. Please, feel free to stop by the thread where we are working on this, http://www.subsim.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=40262&start=50

I'm sorry it didn't work (E_prop adjustment).

Now here's the logic behind it. Type IX for example, has an E_Prop of about 1000, whereas the diesel puts up 4000. The XXI has a diesel of 5500 and E_prop of 4400 (or something like this).

Anyway, as some people in the thread you posted me said, the more efficient E_prop is (lower HP that is), the slower it will recharge. Could make sense.

I did increase the diesel to 10.000 and the batt recharged significantly faster. However, it'd burnt the fuel like hell. So it is a no win - no win situation.

As to the FUMO 391, it seems no one found a way to fix it. Damn, in 44, it is the only way to use the radar (atop the snorkel), otherwise a bunch of Lancs or Catalinas are gona send ya right to the bottom. Besides, it is the only way to see them in time to dive and run like hell.
