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....

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

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?

That image above makes me think of this little guy:

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.
