Hi Guys!

I'm new here, nice forum you guys got! I have a problem. I have started a new career (1940) and i have a VIIB sub with 2x 2cm. flak and 1 deckgun. The problem is that i dont have any ammo for the deckgun while i'm on a mission and only ammo for the secondary flak (no ammo for the 1st). Yes, i've manned al the guns with my crew, then took controle and try pressing the shell on the bottom right but nothing is happening. When i look at my torpedosstock, and click on the topright button, i can only see 2x 2cm AA ammo, nothing else.
I've changed some things in my data/basic.cfg file. Here is a part of it:

I dont use GWX, only SH3 Commander. Can anyone help me please.

Are all slots filled with 20mm AA ammo or are the other ammo slots just empty?

Any mods other than SH3 Commander? Possible conflicts?

I'd restore the default values and if it works, make small changes until the problem rears its ugly head again.

Good luck. :ping:

Hey,

Thanks for the response!

Jup, but i hardly changed anything, and i'm pretty interested to know where the problem is:D

Why AP ammo?

Unless your planning on fighting Light Cruisers and up with our pea shooters, there are no armoured targets.

Destroyers, merchants, and aircraft are not armour plated.

Ships that are armoured, start with a 6 inch belt, and go way up from there.
88 mm = 3,5 inch.
105 mm = 4 inch.
You might be able to scratch their paint.
