so I got a chance to try two items this morning
first I tried to mount the 3"/50 Cal onto an
aa mounting 1 attempt with no success not
even a highlight to unsuccesfully mount it,
(more testing this later)
also I tried two gun configs
in tests yesterday and had
all guns fully and succesfully
manned with working cameras
on all guns except aft dg
however this morning when in test 2
i mounted a twin bofors aft on the
US adv Double d/g mount the following
results occured.
1 when d/g ordered manned crew appeared to only
man front but as turned out later they may have
manned only one side of the bofors on this order
and I was on the wrong side so the absence of
crew on this order may have been an illusion.
(see pic, indeterminate if crewman present at this stage)
I ordered the AA guns manned and thats when I noticed
that all AA guns including the new one were manned
by only one guy even though they were fully crewed
on the managment screen.
(no pic available, all guns manned d/g by two AA guns all by one crewman)
moving forward I gave the order for deckguns to engage
the target (Gearing? in the distance on the left) the main
deckgun engaged the target and against my hopes the
aft bofors did not engage the target. after a minute
the tug came across the front so with one of the gun stoppage
actions of uberboot being to man the gun yourself and
cap off a few rounds I manned the "AA gun" myself
I didnot go to upper fore or aft aa guns surpisingly
when I hit pause in the middle of my shoot and took
the screenie I was on the aft deckmounted aa gun
and the camera had been working for the first time in
the double gun tests aft of the conning tower.
the data arent enough to call the research done but its
data none the less.
Issues were why didnt deck bofors engage target how is
it that the crew only half manned aa guns how can I
stimulate the deck bofors to choose and respond to
deckgun targets. and why in the first test was
a Unable to make a 3" aa gun.
thats about it for now, if I get more Ill let you know.
