TMO 2.5 - Did this mod elimnate deck guns from GAR and Tambor?

torpedobait · 02-15-12, 06:40 PM

After installing TMO 2.5 + RSRD I find the deck guns are missing from both GAR and TAMBOR class boats (haven't tried any others - I'm in a Career mode. Has anyone else encountered this or might I have a "funny" install? Everything else seems normal.

Did you add the aft deckgun mod included? I think those boats only had them mounted aft.

Have not added that mod yet. The thing that makes me believe it is related to the TMO 2.5 upgrade is that the deck gun crew member slots are also missing. Maybe they go hand-in-glove, so to speak, but it still seems strange, because I'm sure they were there in TMO 2.4. I'm progressing far enough into the war (late 1942) that it won't make much difference, because the enemy ships are getting deck guns, and I know better than to take those on.

But still, it would be nice to know if there is a glitch or if it was done purposely. Thanks, and good hunting all!

The short version......its a glitch in the game.

Search the forum and you will find a pile of threads regarding this very problem.

I just run TMO with the aft deck guns option enabled all the time and it's never an issue.......

I think it might be a glitch of a different kind.I notice that on Tambor/Gars in TMO 2.5 they have a rear deck gun most likely to make the fitting of a 5/51 deck gun accurate(only the rear mount was built to accept the gun) even if you do not have the optional rear deck gun running. I think that the fact that TMO defaults fore deck guns but that Tambors/Gars are defaulting to rear mounts might be causing a glitch with the Tambor/Gars that did not occur in older versions of TMO.
