Default [Request]

Hello everybody. I just thought of a totally awesome idea for a mod in SH3. We all know the Type IID right? Well some of them were fitted with a 8.8cm deck gun, and I don't see that in SH3. Is it possible to mod an 8.8cm deck gun onto a Type IID AND get the conning tower to have an AA gun on it kind of like the IID/2 Turm, but only with the bow flak being "transformed" into a much more powerful 8.8cm deck gun? Just curious, cause I've always wanted to have a deck gun on my main submarine of choice. :P If you have any questions on details, let me know. I have no modding experience at all, so I want to make this as clear as possible to those willing to undertake this "mission."

PS- Oops, forgot title. I was so excited I forgot to write down the title of this. It should be [Request] IID Deck Gun. So sorry. :[

Do you have a reliable source for that claim? I've looked everywhere I could think of and couldn't find a reference to it.

I just checked earlier, but sadly I couldn't find anything at that moment. I could have sworn that somewhere I found a Type IID with a 8.8cm deck gun. I swear it! This mod doesn't necessarily have to be realistic you know.... I've just always wanted a Type IID with a deck gun. Period. It would make patrols so much easier, cause up to 1942 the deck gun is my primary weapon of choice. As for a reliable source for this being realistic, I am still unsure, but I swear I saw it once somewhere.

I understand. I've remembered things myself and not been able to recall where I had seen or read them. Yes, it might be cool to have, and everyone should be able to play the way they want. Unfortunately I play the game for the correct feel, so I personally don't see the need for such a mod. That said, I hope you find someone who can make it for you.

Ok I'm glad you understand. Personally, I play games for the fun, not for the realism, but that's just me. I know I'm not the only one, but I just like it for the fun. I hope someone out there knows how to do this. Surely someone knows. If Jimbuna or Yamato1 can make those fantastic creations they sure can make this too!

Just curious, does it always take this long? I think I just got unlucky (again) cause nobody ever cares about my requests anymore. Every time I request something for a game it happens to get turned down. What's up with that? Do I just not exist anymore or is my "chore" a little too hard for you qualified professionals? For now I'll just expect that people forgot or have never seen this request yet, but if a long period of silence strikes again, I'll strike back, hard. Just a fair warning. At least say that you cannot do it for god's sake!
