:D

@Terrapin: Thanks :)

@Hunter: Maybe using your files help me. I edited nearly all warships eqp files with many loadouts, some containing over 100 equipments :D - with the consequence that i lost the overview because i forget to make backups of all files... ;)

I think when i succeed in that object-cloning, i can release several sub-classes. The eqps and skins are ready, but so far only with the loadout option - the name of the different ships and the skins remain the same...

Nice job!

On the S-100 a common armament was a single 20mm on bow, a twin 20mm on middle and a single 37mm on stern (the later design), maybe it is the default setting ingame.

About the Type 34 destroyers, they was equiped with quad 20mm?, I didnt knew that.

A 37mm Single-gun is only available for subs in the game. It can be installed on the S-boat, but the subs weapons do not work properly on ships (and there is no crew). I've seen some models and photographs with the 20mm Quad. The default armament in the game is 3 20mm Singles.

Some Type 34 destroyers were equipped with the 20mm Quad during the war (Z5, Z6, Z10, Z15, Z14). Unfortunatley, the historical position of that gun can not be used in the game (between C and D turret) :( . I added them because the 37mm guns amidships are very ineffective and i wanted to represent the task of the AA-defense-upgrade ;)

shematic of a late Type 34

Shemes in my book on Type 34 class DDs show mostly the only Flakvierling on the top position between C and D guns, where an ordinary 20 oerlikon is positioned now. And they still carried 3,7cm Flaks on their positions.

hm my Type34-destroyer has no node on the top position between C and D Turret :-?

Edit: i found my mistake. I will fix it ;)

The Problem with the Type34 destroyer is fixed (i missed a node, because i edited a eqp-file that was wrong from earlier editing). Go to Terrapins Site or download from the first post in this Thread. The Type 34 has now the 20mm Quad in the proper position.

According to Revell, some of them was equiped with 40mm Bofors Flak 28, of course, when availability of them was posible.

Jup, i heard from Bofors on Schnellboots also. If someone wants it on "his" Schnellboat, simly edit the eqp-file ;)

like this in NPT_GE.eqp :
[Equipment X]
NodeName=A03
LinkName=40mmSingle
StartDate=19440301
EndDate=19451231

(set equipment number according to the number of equipments in the eqp-file).


Here is a fine model with 20mm Quad:

modifed Revell Schnellboot

Ok :up:
Thanks for the link.
