Deck gun ammo
 

I was wondering if any other Kaleuns out there knew which type of shell was better suited for sinking merchants. Armor piercing or High explosives. The next time I get to base I may have to make some " modifications " I dont even use the starshells at all... what a waste. Any ideas which were more powerful? :hmm: I dont think it would be cheating if our commander gave us the best ammo for a certain task. :lol::lol:

Actual Uboats carried a bunch of HE's, a few AP's, and zero star shells.

In the actual game, the AP's do serve to penetrate armor. I find I get the absolute best results when I lead off with a few HE's on the deck cargo, then a few AP's into the hull followed by HE's.

yup ap for destroyers for the armour and he for merchants to make its cargo blow up hehehe

Speaking of ammo for the deck gun, when you are at base where the heck to you choose which kind of Ammo to load? I was never able to find this screen

Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

You can adjust its power at Shells.zon file using Time Traveller Minitweaker.



I think so it is not posible at base in the game interface, but you can adjust shell quantity and type editing the file Basic.cfg at Data\Cfg folder...

Look for sets ;

[AMMO_TYPE0];10.5cm SK C/3

and

[AMMO_TYPE1];8.8cm SK C/35
