Deck gun ammunition
 

Just a quick question - how do I change ammunition type for the deck gun? I'm probably being thick but does the default loadout provide all types?

Thanks in advance.

not in GWX no it doesnt but IIRC it did in Vanilla (Sorry! pg it is what it is)
there are ways however if it becomes essential.

No... its not vanilla... its stock, or base. Not Vanilla, never vanilla! :up:

I'm using GWX 1.03, can I select alternative types at loadout? I can't seem to get any options....

Thanks in advance

Lawrence

in 1.03 theres a few files that need changing in order to provide
all ammo types

I may have a loose version kicking around the archives
(im not sure thats not a promise)

but right at the moment I am cooking Christmas
dinner for my Mother :sunny: and My Beautiful Wife :sunny::sunny:

so a bit later then.

GWX set the U-boats to carry HE shells only as that historically is all they carried. At the start of every patrol you need to man the deck gun, then go to it using F10 and click the HE shell icon to load it.

oops did I miss the obvious there?:hmm:

Oh and by the by GWX 2.0 is the latest release if you wanted it LSEdwards :up:

If you prefer something a little detuned then try

Vanilla:D

and a belated welcome aboard

I know, but I'm having a ball with 1.03 at present!

Just did a 75k+ tonnes mission in Jan 1940. I found a convoy SW of Ireland with 2 DD escorts, which I sank with torps, plus an S class sub. By the time I saw the sub I had used up all my torps. Couldn't sink it with the deck gun as I received damage and then he opened up with his flak gun as well. So I submerged and resurfaced <100 metres away and rammed him. That didn't do much damage, but at very close quarters he couldn't get low enough elevation on his deck gun to hit me. That gave me the chance to repair and then I used my flak gun to take out his deck gun and flak gun. Finally, backed off and put a few deck gun shells into him.

I then picked off as many merchants as I could with the deck gun and flak gun until I ran out of ammo. Total 13 ships sunk in the mission. Still about 10 ships left with no protection!

Can I keep my 1.03 career in GWX 2.0?

Thanks

[quote=Mush Martin]Thank you kindly! Have been playing since SHII and I think I'm addicted!

Sadly no... sorry.

But well, if you want to stick with 1.03 that is cool! Hell there are some people out there still playing the original Grey Wolves! the very first mod, prior to GWX 1.0!!!

So rest assured the Grey Wolves team will be on hand to assist with all your 1.03 needs. :)

There are even people who play the the 'stock' (or was it vanilla? :hmm: ) version still!
But every now and then they also itch to re-install the GWX stuff! Even if it does slow down EVERYTHING! :88)
