The cfg, eqp and sns files are all three text-based, and can be opened and edited with either MS Notepad, or
Notepad++. The closest guns in regular SH4 will be the USS Iowa guns "16in_Iowa_turret_US". So open the eqp file in the Montana folder, and look for the lines with "NodeName=M01" (02, 03 & 04) and the next line of "LinkName=WhateverMontanaGun" (WhateverMontanaGun representing the gun used). Replace the gun used on the Montana with "LinkName=16in_Iowa_turret_US", and it will then look for the gun used on the Iowa in your install. The turret skin may not match the Montana exactly, but you'll have main guns. Then you can look for more appropriate ones later.
