To my FELLOW deck gunners!
It seems I have a super similar problem as Mr. Jldjs up there. I'm currently playing TMO 2.5, brand new career that was started fresh with 2.5, and I'm on my 5th or 6th patrol. The patrol started in August of 1942 and now it's September 1942! My PROBLEM has to do with....well, with everything on this dang sub.
So I'm in command of a Gar class sub. I've read the TMO manual PLENTY of times (it's really good by the way), and I've noted that Ducimus has clearly stated that he got the Tambor and Gar subs to ALWAYS have stern mounted deck guns. That's fine by me! I haven't changed ANY positions of the deck gun with TMO, I've left everything alone and uncontaminated.
I get back from a pretty amazing patrol. Get offered a conning tower upgrade. well actually it's FORCED on me, but that's fine. When I get it, I realize ALL my equipment has been taken off and the deck gun mount has been switched from stern to bow. Which I thought was IMPOSSIBLE for Gar and Tambor's, under TMO rules. What's more is that my beloved super special Admiral bestowed 5-inch 51 caliber gun is NO longer available. Because you can only mount it on the STERN. I'd have to pay to put a 4 incher on the bow...
URGH this is frustrating! Something Ducimus put in SPECIFICALLY to stop one bug has now been hit by a different bug. Ooooh this game sometimes.
My question is this. I was looking through other threads and I saw some explanations on how to get the stern mounting back or get the equipment to work again, but is there any way to have a more definitive solution? If I get the stern mount back, can I get my 5inch 51 back? What can I do to switch the deck gun mounting AND make sure my other equipment is intact? Is there any way to prevent the dreaded conning tower from mutating my submarine? I can be pretty capable, I just need to know where to look
Thank you for any help
