Hello, it might easy to shoot down, but you just have 1000 bullets and not always in the quite water !!!!

Rgds,

Again though, that is a consideration in the 'trade off'.

Do you remain surfaced and fight (some players actually 'tweak' the basic CFG file and give themselves extra ammo).....or do you remain prudent and dive upon sighting aircraft (as most Kaleuns did in RL....apart from a brief spell when Doenitz ordered them to remain on the surface and 'tough it out').

The choices are yours to make. http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...ies/pirate.gif

Rgds,

Yes, I love to fight on the surface & don't wanna dive always when facing too much enemy fighters, how do I get more ammo? do you have any special mod addon ? Thanks for sharing.

Go to: C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\GWX2.1\data\Cfg

Now open up the Basic CFG file.

Scroll down to:

[SUBMARINE_AMMOLIMITS1] ;105mm
MaxAmmoPerSlot=250
[SUBMARINE_AMMOLIMITS2] ;88mm
MaxAmmoPerSlot=250
[SUBMARINE_AMMOLIMITS3] ;37mm
MaxAmmoPerSlot=2000
[SUBMARINE_AMMOLIMITS4] ;20mm
;MaxAmmoPerSlot=2000
MaxAmmoPerSlot=3000

Change the Slot values to those in yellow.

Now scroll down to:

[AMMO_TYPE0];10.5cm SK C/32

Year=1939
Month=1
;AP=40
;HE=250
;SS=20

[AMMO_TYPE10];2cm FK C/38 Flakzwiling

Change the values to those that are in yellow.

DON'T GO CRAZY WITH HIGH NUMBERS OR YOU WILL BREAK YOUR INSTALLATION.....AND BACKUP THE BASIC CFG BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT THE CHANGES

Good Luck http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...ies/pirate.gif

Curiosity:

Is the ammount and type of ammo in GWX 2.1 historic, or meant to prevent you from fighting on the surface?

It's been that long since I looked at the ammo levels (most of my installations are 'tweaked' to taste) I couldn't honestly say.

As an example.

There are sources out there that state approx 130/150 105mm shells were carried, but Clay Blair states one particular Type IX carried 355.

Have a look at Uboat net etc and come to your own conclusion. http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...s/thumbsup.gif

'Type VIIB and VIICs carried around 250 rds for the 88mm and about 4380 rds for the 20mm flak gun (or guns)... Later during the war, when the large deck guns were being removed, there was room to carry more anti-aircraft ammunition.'

U-boat Combat Missions, Lawrence Paterson.

Captains could carry additional ammunition if they thought they were likely to need it so tweaking your ammunition levels is well within the bounds of realism. Jim has kindly given us the ability to tweak these values to our own preferred amount.:up:

Thanks guys. I tend to be a good shot in GWX, and make good use of the deck gun in fair weather. Such a captain would surely be entitled to an extra allotment of shells.
