Star Shell in GWX
 

I modified modestly my basic.cfg file to allow my VIIB boat to load 20 star shells They show up in the deck gun ammo screen but I cannot seem to load them. Only the HE is shown when I try to load the DG. Any help appreciated.

Running GWX on SH3.

What are ye gonna shoot with 'em, starfish? :hmm:

My target will be U-57:doh:

Can't say I've tried to add star shells to my ammo locker. They tend to give your position away.

:rotfl:Priceless!

I have never bothered with star shells, even with stock SH3. Only good they are for is making pretty patterns in the sky, when you on long patrols.

Now, after making fun of the guy's way to play the game, maybe someone in this helpful community actually helps him.

To John O: This thread has all the info you need to actually modify the ammo loadout:

Thanks for the serious reply.

I've tried the various mods to the basic.cfg file and I have the various 88/105 DG (AP/SS) ammo on the I screen for the type VII boats but the actual DG screen only displays the HE icon. Thus, the only ammo that can be loaded is the HE.

Know GWX removed the SS and AP DG ammo capability for realism/historical reasons. I support that and thats why I play GWX. But, one dark night, after wasting many ranging HE rounds on a very small target not worthy of a torp, I wished for just one SS.

Now that we have all the laughs out of the way, can the DG screen be modified to allow for loading the AP/SS ammo when they are present in the I screen in GWX? Is there something other than the Basic.cfg file that needs to be modified in GWX?

Thanks again for the help so far.
