Problem with deck gun and IUB

Undercover-S · 02-27-06, 08:16 AM

hi all

i hope someone could help me with this. i installed IUB 1.02 and now my deck gun seems to be broken. i can fire and hit ships but it doesn't seem to have any results. the ships don't burn or sink at all
... any idea?

Welcome to Subsim and SH3 Herr Kaleun.

I use IUb and have no trouble yet maybe I can help.

To answer question I ask what type shells are you firing and what targets - best advice is aim below or at waterline of target.

Also is this only happens with 88mm or 105mm also?

New one to me.Read that hit points,sink ships.Answer should be of
interest. get new deck gun?

Edit
Just thinking RUB.Defaults incorperated in IUB.increase loading time & increase hit points,keep shelling.Recall perhaps 25-30 rounds of HE.

thx wolfram

im a bit newbie on SH3, so its a 88 mm gun...
i tried several times to sink a ship with my deck gun, using armor piercing and high explosives ones... even tried to let my crew fire.

i saw the shells arrives, saw the explosion, but no result or only a tiny fire... i maybe fire about 20 or 30 shots, no changes...

before IUB, i could flame ship carriage just with a several shots and see the difference ( the ship started to burn then sink)

well, i'll try to enable the IUB mod and make some test...
thx

I too have a problem with IUb. What is it with the ships they are all halve submerged.I was attacking convoy {ak13} and all the ships were halve submerged doing 7 knots the strangest thing ive ever seen.but apart from that IUB is a good mod.Oh nearly forgot

Large tanker x 2 (took 3 torps)
Large gargo x2
medium cargo hit it with 2 torps and it travelled for about ten miles or so then sank ,and i missed medium tanker.

ps this game is gonna get me divorced :

AMD athlon 64 3000+
1gb ram
geforce 4 ti 4200 (i thinks its on its way out )

Yes IUb incorporates more realism like RUb has - reduced gun effect and increased reload time, ships take more damage also. But you can gun them down just takes more.

If you want to increase speed of reload - be sure of crew training/skill and use something like SH3 Commander mod - it has option to increase speed of reload.

Otherwise if more IUb issues we can contact oRGy - he assembled the mod.

IuB have RuB implemented in it.

So Basically you have weaker Shell Rounds and higher reload time.

You can use SilentHunter 3 Commander to adjust the time of reloading (strongly recommended).

The purpose of weakening the deck gun was to make it use only to finish a damaged ship. In WW2, German's submariners rarely used the main gun. They used it only for finishing a cripled ship.

I can agree that it could be stronger in certain area such deck guns in later years. I saw myself firing at least 25 shells on a deck gun, which is rediculous.

I think however that Hollywood Advanced Damage Mod correct this problem or NYGM damage mod fix that too, but i'm not sure I did not play long enough to see this.
