perhaps the long underwater periods damaged the guns.

One interesting sentence from one of the pages. :hmm:

" Later at Narvik I asked one of the pilots whom we had fished out of the soup what he preferred - attacks with his plane through artillery and shrapnel fire or a depth charge attack on a U-Boat. He only laughed and patted my shoulder....


"If my plane is disabled,” he said, “I still can bail out with my parachute. If your sub is disabled and your engines sputter, and your last compressed air is used up - you’ve had it and you die like a damn rat.”

But, in the AA equipments, I can only mount a light flak in the conning tower....why

now LK is getting drunk celebrating his 100 posts!

I just fixed it last night man!!! a problem that we had for years.
Its working fine now! Both type IXC and IXD with tower #1 and ol 37mm gun
they look great and shoot great too
all you need to do is some editing in the Basic.cfg file
I just added an extra line in there.. its tested
I will release it for the public

cheers
