deck gun rockets
 

i am thinking of making a mod where you play as U-9, U-19 or U24. these where the u boats that fired short range artillery rockets at soviet shore facilities.

here is the bit in THE MANUAL:

The Germans modified three submarines of the 30th Flotilla (U-9, U-19, and U-24) to carry short-range artillery rockets in the summer of 1944. Soviet shore facilities were allegedly attacked using these weapons, but with unknown effect (if any)

this mod depends on one thing, and that is whetheryou can make the deck gun fire rockets. there are six rockets or so it appears in the picture, so the magazine of the deck gun would have to be 6. imagine surfacing just outside of a base and silently launching the rockets at the ships and slowly sinking away.

any help is appreciated.

also can anyone tell me how to script aircraft into airbases?? because I have just acquired some great aircraft from denises AIRMOD 1,2 and 3. i could script them in but it would take a long time, so i would rather put them into airbases. i was trying to translate the russia readmes but when you put them through the translator it sounds a bit strange.

ok, fine, no one can anwer the first question. :damn: :damn: :nope:

then can anyone answer the second question??:hmm: :hmm: :hmm: :hmm: :hmm: :hmm: :hmm: :hmm: :hmm:

guess it cant be done...........

IMHO I think you can't hit land targets in SH3. This issue is hardcoded and cannot be changed (well, at least until now).

I've just checked U-9, U-19 & U-24 on german Wikipedia.

No information or clue about any usage of, or refitting with artillery rockets...

yes, but attacking ships with rockets??

times like these when i wish there was a HMT (halo mapping tools) for sh3......

then it would be easyier then codes and such.

Attack ships with rockets. Why don't you just get a cold war subsim instead?

Whatever, don't want to be an ass here. I suppose you could use those rockets that the planes fire, though I have no idea if you could mod the deck gun to fire them.

thats what i was thinking

is it possible to fire the deck gun underwater? because the rockets could be fired 15 meters underwater. there is only one way to launch the rockets: the deck gun.
it would still be alright to launch rockets on the surface, better even, how could you see the ships you are going to fire at, and because i am planning to use aircraft rockets, will they be useable underwater? because in THE MANUAL it says gwx does not model the effects of rockets piercing the pressure hull underwater, anyone know why?? i am guessing that it is because it is hardcoded. but shells can pierce underwater...........:hmm: :hmm: :hmm: :hmm:

They explode on impact with the surface. (set depth probably.)

another thing is, where those rockets loud when they launch? and did they have a flash?

and if they did not, and where silent, would it be possible for the enemy not to hear?

because the enemy works on hearing.

i once passed 2 patrol boats (british) at night, stormy weather, and they passed within 20 meters of me. they did not notice me or anything until I fired my flak gun at them. bad mistake. they noticed me and opened fire.

you can be sure, the launch was loud! but it was short...

did it have a flash?

Are you expecting primitive (Can't think of a different word, don't nitpick) rockets not to make a loud noise and a big flash? Rockets aren't the stealthiest things...

And the patrol boats probably didn't detect you by hearing you (you were surfaced) they notices you because you shot at them
