Insane reload times!

Lt.Fillipidis · 03-25-09, 08:46 AM

For my flak guns!
I have the Flaksomething, 20mm double barelled guns.
The reload times though are something like 10mins each mag...
So my only way to stand against planes is Bernard and my deck gun!

I am willing to bet there is a PC issue and not the sim. Why? I try not to engage the RAF on purpose but if I do I am at flank speed, have two gunners with experience, awards and rank, a top gunner at the helm. I suppose this helps the reload.

On my present patrol I knocked down 12 (yep 12) RAF using hard to port, flank speed as they commit. My gunners take them oncoming and at egress. If I have a hornet's nest, I then dive before they circle back. If it is 2-3 I will take them on only if I hit and damage them on their first run so they are less effective.

Anyway, I am guessing it is your RAM not the sim. Or the effectiveness, rank or perhaps not using gunners who are top notched and experienced. I am sure others will weigh in.

I agree. There's nothing in the game or in any mods that I can think of that would have that effect.

Got the same problem.

This and the indestructible AI subs I reported a while ago make for some really interesting times.

I almost suspect that there is a mod conflict somewhere.

A totally wild guess here....Are you using SH3 Commander? If so, is it possible that you mistakenly set the reload time to 10 minutes?

Sailor Steve · 03-25-09, 10:10 AM

SH3 Commander can't affect the flak guns, only the deck guns.

Lt.Fillipidis · 03-25-09, 10:37 AM

Well... It fixed itself on this patrol...
Dunno whats going on...

I won't say we all make mistakes.

But I sure do, and way too often.
