privateer,
a model of the 12 pdr would be great!
What became of the corresponding Bathurst?
Kafka BC,
a detailed model (some 20.000 polygons) of the 4"/50 (wet mount, without shield) came with SH4. I considered reduction to a lowpoly thing but building from scratch seems more efficient. The Russian 4", portraited in guns_VaaLiliput, has a barrel of similar lenght but a rather different mounting and breech/counterweight; the barrel's balance is more forward.
You didn't change the hull, so re-working the hull's damage zones ( can be tricky) is not necessary. However, if you delete/change submodels it could be an idea to delete/change the respective damage zones. So, upon replacing a boat by a platform, the models damage box may be changed from 20 (boat) to something else (perhaps antenna [14] or mast [15]; defining codes are in the "zones.cfg" file, which is at toplevel of the "data" folder) plus the box size can be adjusted to the size of the new item.
