Default U-Boot Ammo

Hi Kaleuns,

I still don't know if I should use Jimbunas Additional_Ammo Mod. Does anyone have some historically based information regarding the u-boot ammo?

I didn't find much in the WWW.

Thanx,
h.sie

I researched this matter some time back and found examples of boats carrying upwards of 250 rounds (in one of the Clay Blair volumes there is an example of a Type IXD2 Luth, U-181, carrying 377 rounds) so I reckoned on 250 rounds being a reasonable average.

Thanks Jim.

So 250 is already average. That's good to know and what I want.

So I'll integrate it into my intensively modded Basic.cfg.

Thanks for the mod.

H.Sie

So you think we should have 250 rounds of 105 ammo instead of GWX-stock 110? Sweet!

As I known are the deckgun for IXC (boat I use for a example) fitted with 10.5cm/32 and not the other version 10.5cm/45,so the question are the main difference,between the 2 version,are 10,5cm/32 more disadvantageous instead for 10.5cm/45...thats all....

The 32 refers to the mounting, not the gun itself. The 10.5cm guns in WW2 were all /45 cal.
