405mm un-mannable!

gimpy117 · 03-14-08, 10:18 PM

for some reason my crew will not man a 450mm deck gun
they will however use a 350mm

is this normal....anybody got a fix???

CCIP · 03-14-08, 10:28 PM

What mod are you using?

...and where did you get guns that size?

V.C. Sniper · 03-14-08, 10:53 PM

WTF?? The U.S. Navy developed a submersible Iowa-class super battleship???

LukeFF · 03-14-08, 11:26 PM

I want to know where I can get this 450 mm deck gun as well! :rotfl:

FIREWALL · 03-14-08, 11:33 PM

I don't care about Who,What,Why,or Where.

I just wanna see a screenshot of this Mutha

gimpy117 · 03-14-08, 11:52 PM

ok maybe i stated the sizes wrong....sorry to rain on your parade...

ok it's the bigger stock deck gun not a mod....sorry (maybe you'll have to do that one

)

anyways, on 1.4 my gun canoot be manned by my crew.....

I think gimpy means the 4 in deck gun not a battleship gun.

gimpy117 · 03-15-08, 01:00 AM

yeah...thanks although that would be fun any leads to why my sailors won't man it?
maybe they are scared that it may be a 405 MM....I wouldn't wanna be near it too when it goes off

....

in all seriousness...any leads???
there aren't even slots for manning it in the crew management (its on the stern by the way)

I have in the past had lots of trouble getting two deck guns installed. I take it this is a single gun though? What boat class and what year, also any MODs? Stern or bow gun?

gimpy117 · 03-15-08, 12:40 PM

1943, USS Balao (i bet you can catch the class)
4 inch deck gun aft...

DrBeast · 03-15-08, 01:24 PM

Did you, by any chance, change the position of the deck gun? If memory serves, the default position of the DG on Balao-class boats is fore. If that's the case, I fear you've been struck by a damn bug that's been plaguing SH4 since Day 1.

gimpy117 · 03-15-08, 01:37 PM

yeah i did...uh-oh.....

Hope you're modding-savvy. If you feel up to it, try out the solution proposed in this thread.

ETA: And I have to PAY for the next patch, when stuff like this aren't fixed yet? Bleh!

i know...i guess they've found a shure fire way to squeeze out cash from SH4:make players pay for bug fixes.

not. cool we paid for a game where the content works...and we don't wanna pay more to fix them....

maybe we should petition for a 1.5 patch without the u-boat part

Hartmann · 03-15-08, 06:38 PM

Well , it´s because the 405 mm shells are too heavy compared with the 350 mm ammo. also the magazines are inside the sub and the gun have to be loaded by hand.

the use of bigger ammo like 550 mm could be a big problem in a sub, :hmm:
