GWX3.0 Additional Ammo
 

Additional Ammunition for the U-boats weapons platforms (It is documented that Luth once carried 377 10.5cm shells on a patrol).

From the Readme:

Enable via JSGME

GWX3.0 Additional Ammo.
Firstly, this mod is NOT supported by the GWX Dev team, so you use it at your own risk.
If you're having problems please direct them my way on Subsim (jimbuna).
This mod gives you the following ammo levels (dependant on weapons platform).
8.8cm.....250 shells
10.5cm....250 shells
37mm......3000 shells
20mm......3000 shells

Um...
 

My guess is that would, it depend if they were on some special mission?

This is the second mod you,ve just done that sounds bizarre! possibly & realisticly? the guns in any weather sounds plausible depending on the situation at the present moment in time! So Why not buddy? (maybe if the crew were very dfesperate and the sub was damaged beyond diving capabilities) sounds great to me just 1 problem i've always had is the fact that the destroyers tend to hang around far to long for me to be able to surface especially when your in the perverbial and need to emergency surface! What this mod needs is a release fake debris adding along side the decoys.....some clever modder may be able to do this! what to you think?

ok

Interesting idea. I've made fast research of resources about stock of ammunition on u-boots and find this info:

Type VII
8,8 cm/45 SK C/35 gun - 250 rounds of ammunition (220 according to www.navweaps.com)
2 cm/65 C/30 & C/38 flak - 4380 rounds

Type IX
10,5 cm/45 SK C/32 gun - 180 rounds (or 110 on IX A-C and 150 on IXD according to uboat.net and www.navweaps.com infos)
3,7 cm/83 SK C/30 & 3,7 cm/69 M42 flak - 2625 rounds
2 cm - 4250 - 8500 rounds

Downloaded, now what?
 

I downloaded additional ammo mod for GWX3 to my desktop. Where do I need to put it so the program recognizes it and uses it? Where & how do I install it? Uncle Levi

Just install it with JSGME as explained in the Readme text file.

Alternatively, unpack and put the CFG file into your data\Cfg folder and overwrite your Basic Cfg when asked (back it up first).

It was a real practice carry extra load

i read time ago a book about British submarines, in the pacific, in one patrol they expected intense surface action and they carry extra load of oerlikon and deck gun ammo, stored in every place of the submarine.

( one of our submarines by edward young, commander of the HMS Storm "P233")

That could quite easily be done.
But it would be eye candy only.

And I like bizarre mods myself.
They break the monatany of everything.

Here's my current Monatany breaker.

Not realistic maybe but some of the effects should be pretty cool
in an eerie sort of way.

Mmmmmm a eye candy
 

But it would be a lovle eye candy. I hope there is a moder with same extra time too make souch a candy. We all love candys, and plus it is a new year. I hope theat Santa is lessoning.:lol:

The FF link does not work any longer... could we have a new link. Thank's

Seems okay at this end....try this:

http://files.filefront.com/GWX30+Add.../fileinfo.html

Thank's for reposting... that did the trick.

Both links and Mods work as advertised. :yep: :D

Thx Jim :up:

No prob guys http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...s/thumbsup.gif

Does radar also work well with bad weather, with this mod?
I've seen that before i need to start it every time weather was bad, now work always fine ^_^

I t is completely unrelated/unconnected to the radar files....I think what some have experienced in the past will be the radar shutting down when the conning tower is submerged periodically during rough weather....the game engine thinks momentarily that the boat is submerged.

Ah ok :up: Thanks a lot for the info, i return to my radar postation :arrgh!:

No problem VD....no harm done http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...s/thumbsup.gif

Hullo, chaps
I finally made it :yep:

Upon being installed GWX and additional ammo mod, found that

a) an accurate and historical mod, which is very nice
b)I can rely longer patrols on my beloved deck gun :doh:
and
c) all ammo were HE

On the HE part... this was modded by gwx, i take?
i really missed that assortment of ammo :O:
any notice bout some mod on this?

Cheers everyone, a great job done here

Pleased your enjoying it. http://www.psionguild.org/forums/ima...s/thumbsup.gif

We took the SS and AP shells out for GWX....it is debatable yet not conclusive if they were actually carried by U-boats.

First of all, forgive my rusty, mouldy english :O:

Well, took me bout an hour to check some info
in not-so-unknown sources as www.uboatarchive.net
from where I will show extracts of interrogatories
carried on surviving U-boat crews.

U-175

U-199

U-701

and on diverse places as the book on Luth "U-boat Ace" by Jordan Vause,

http://www.imagengratis.org/images/uboataceby.jpg


www.uboat.net on Robert L Holt sunk by U-69
http://www.imagengratis.org/images/robertlhol.jpg


adn definitely the Kriegstagebuch from U-625 on sinking
the damaged SS Empire Sky

http://www.imagengratis.org/images/kriegstage.jpg



Well, I added a match and brought more fuel to the question, perhaps.
But I think it would be quite fair reconsider the statement "U-boat never carried AP or SS" that i read in quite a number of posts.
And if so, at least i would leave the gap for a future add of incendiary (as AA maybe was almost useless in 105, maybe) ??

Besides i've seen about 3 up to 5 types of ammo for the smaller guns,
which i'll not mention here now, from same and other sources.

Cheers all out there,

Happy hunting
