How to add deck guns to IIA

alamwuhk2a · 07-04-06, 08:47 AM

Hi all i'm a newbie to modding.
Can anyone tell me how to add deck gun to IIA?

Type IIa U-boats didn't have deck guns. Save up your renown and get a type VIIB or VIIC. There is a mod that will add a battleship's gun turret to any sub, however.

In stock SH3 the Type IIA doesn't get its 20mm flak gun on the foredeck unless you select it as an upgrade.

I think this is what he is referring to.

Battleship turret ?

....wouldn't that make a sub flip over ? I think it weighed half of the sub's weight

I want the battleship gun mod details, if anyone knows where it is.

Thanks

i don't have the reference for the guns, but I remember seeing a thread with the picture and the mod. Of course, in RL the sub would tip over and probably sink with a battleship turret.

Actually it's more like twice the sub's weight. Bismarck's turrets weighed around 1500 tons each, and an Iowa class turret was load-rated at 4 million pounds; that 2000 tons.

If the sub didn't flip over it would sink to the bottom upright very quickly.

perhaps you could add a 3,7
would make a good compromise and after that you can easily increase the 3,7 ammo´s power...

Edit
Here´s a link for you alamwuk2a

thank you very much but i can't go to the old forum since i was not registered.

it is not the problem of worth or not.
I'm here to post because I just want to learn how to create my own mod.

May be my ideas violate the history, IIAs do not have deck guns, but i just try to post here to ask how.
