deck gun

nik112 · 04-12-07, 08:29 AM

hi skippers
i want to ask if there is a mod increasing the deck gun effective. i mean that at sh3 with 20 shots could sink a c2,c3 t3 etc. now for a fregate about 5000 tons you need 40-50
cheers

Goes to show you can't please everyone. They're too powerful in my book...I'm with the guy who called it a "deck gun plasma cannon of death" or something like that!

Anyways, here is your "super gun" mod: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=111231

Wants to INCREASE it????

Sheesh....Dick O'Kane makes mention of the fact that some crappy little 2-3000t freighters took about 80 4" rounds to sink....80!!!!

I sank an 18,000t liner with 22 rounds....ridiculous. I don'tuse the gun as it's so insanely overpowered.....could probably destroy Yamato with 30 hits!!!

In fact the gun is a more reliable ship killer than the torps at present....

Actually, I have been thinking of it as the "High Incendiary Ship Vaporizing Fountain of Destruction" - but to each his own.

Are you using impact or magnetic warheads in the StarShell fuses?

50 Shells!?

Where are you aiming?

I use about 10 AP rounds and 15-20 HE rounds; Mind you I only aim for the waterline, and a naval gun if it's onboord.

Put all your AP rounds around the smoke stack section of the Merchant, then put your HE rounds in the same area to further open those holes.

He means SEA shells...

I invented super deck guns once but they were too powerful i could take out a whole carrier division with one hit

Hi all,

I usually leave the crew to the deck gunning, ride on the surface at night in the middle of the two euro liner convoys that are usually in the mouth of Tokyo bay, let em run I say, Keith and Jimmy, seem to have an easier time killing things at long range...

With Regards,

Krauter

I find the problem with random results is that you get well..... random results.

FIREWALL · 09-25-07, 06:21 PM

I have a worse problem. It's raiseing and lowering deck gun.

And I use shift+ up arrow and it's still and when I check range and go back to gun I have to start all over at 500 meters.

Any help would be appreciated. Thx.
