getting a little confused here. when browing my upgrades between missions i notice that even though ive got the "4 50 cal deck gun (stern mounting)" there appears to be an option to waste renown point by choosing the same upgrade again.. over and over until im out of points if i choose to.
seems like my sub can only mount a stern gun but i can also choose a bow gun to replace the stern gun... but its still a stern gun when i go to mission. is this just a sloppy design or am i missing something? also.. whats the difference between a (4 50 cal deck gun) and a (3 50 cal deck gun)? near as i can tell you only get one gun whether its 50 cal or not. maybe im just not familiar with some kind of actual naval weapon terminology here. |

It should really be 3.50 caliber or 4.50 caliber. I.e. 3.5 inches or 4.5 inches. The diameter of the inside of the gun barrel. As for the mounting 'glitch', you got me.

(the more you know) As for the problem I would say it's a glitch, usually I either reload an earlier point or restart. Last edited by Brig; 01-26-13 at 06:45 PM. |

You just necroposted to a thread that was three years old to say what Peabody already said. I don't think the OP has logged in since 2010, neither has the person you quoted so I don't think they care.
Beware the search facility. It trickses us it does.

To answer the original question for anyone coming along later;
i can also choose a bow gun to replace the stern gun... but its still a stern gun when i go to mission. I get the same thing - unless I go to the crew screen first, MOVE THE TWO CREWMEMBERS out of the gun position into the repair crew position. When the stern gun crew position is occupied you'll get that problem, if it's empty THEN you can replace with a bow cannon and it will stay that way. |

When I was in the navy, I was based at Bally Button in Scotland. It was a Navel base.

As for the 4/50 and 3/50. The 4/50 shoots a 4 inch shell the 3/50 shoots a 3 inch shell. The caliber of an artillary gun is not the same as it is on a rifle. Wiki definition: The length of artillery barrels has often been described in terms of multiples of the bore diameter e.g. a 4-inch gun of 50 calibers would have a barrel 50 x 4 inches = 200 inches long.

well that makes sense. i guess the omission of a lowley decimal point can really throw me off.
but it does seem to be the case that you can just "upgrade" to the exact same weapon over and over just to spend your renown away. a design oversight i guess. as far as the stern/bow thing i guess theyre just letting me know that both stern and bow guns are available regardless of the fact that my sub can only mount on the stern.. a little silly but at least i get it now. thanks for the info |
