Opportunity for Model Optimization...

The model for the Browning Machine Guns in the MG_Tub_PT01 and MG_Tub_PT02 objects in guns.dat use grossly excessive numbers of triangles in their models. It is clear that they have been obtained from a site that does highly accurate gun modelling.

Each one of the Brownings uses as many polygons as an entire ship! EACH gun runs to 11k polys. The Twin mounts go to 22k poly and the PT Boat uses TWO of them.

I don't know how to use the Blender Decimate tool myself but may I advise that a modeller is assigned to check the guns.dat file for opportunities to reduce the poly count.
