Ammo Status

I am probably just over looking it, but how do I check to see how much munitions I have left when using the FFG?

Thanks,

Weapons Control Station, upper right corner. SM-2 and Harpoon are displayed. I believe when you switch over to the Gun panel, the rounds are displayed somewhere aswell. Same goes for the CIWS I think. Buoys are displayed under the OTS button in the ASTAC station. The only thing I'm unsure of is the torpedoes. I'm not sure if the number of torps in store are displayed somewhere, maybe thats the only thing you have to keep track of by memory.

Yep. By memory. Same for counter measures.

As for torpedoes, you're generally running out of time before you run out of torpedoes, at least with the "normal" reload speed.

I'd really like to have a middle ground between the gatling torpedo tubes and the torpedoes on ship sightseeing before entering tubes.

Though what I *really* want the most is a speedup of drawing the torpedo screen - unless I'm on a steady course I get ~2 fps in there, and even then it's slow when I change a number or select a (not necessarily different) tube or target.
(I suspect it's font rendering, as I had these problems elsewhere too before the font mod.)
