[REL] Browning .50 MG v1.1a

[RICH12ACE]

hi after all this time i still cannot dl this mod! what is wrong will the link??

it is still working for me... :hmm:

[WilhelmSchulz.]

Looks like its unfinished.

[peewee]

I thought that on later boats the .50 cal was mounted on the deck when surfaced (if required) and then stowed before diving. If you go to the conning tower view on a Gato you can see two of them (or maybe they are .30 cal) stowed against the wall.

Link has died

You wouldnt catch me turning away anything that can potentially be used as a weapon and certainly not something that IS a weapon! I run into small ships often enough and while I am not paying for torps, ports are few and far between and those tiny ships make for difficult targets IMO. Extra .50's would be a great addition to the Shark!

I did notice that my existing twin AA gun can knock a fishing boat (120 tons) about so bad it will actually stop moving or even get turned about last nite though .

dead link

[keltos01]

yep

[cgjimeneza]

I was visitign the wisconsin museum, they have the USS Cobia on display and among the wish list are 5 0.50 cal deactivated machine guns... so the boat did carry them and so should we...

just my dos centavos. (two pennies)

:hmm:

[RICH12ACE]

can some one give me a link that works for this mod and were [folder] do you put the files in sh4 to get it to work.

[Orion2012]

Anyone have a link, I'd like to give the files the once over and see if i can get it to truly function as an AA gun.

Ok for your deck sweeping enjoyment comes the Browning .50 (12.7mm?) Machine Gun
This appears to have been disabled by the dev's and was left in the game.
I re-enabled it for use but it has some limitations, 1)It will not elevate high
enough to engage aircraft flying high overhead, 2)It has no target reticle so
you must lead your target with the tracers.
This should "not" be considered as a replacement for your AA guns, if you don't
normally engage aircraft then it makes a cool weapon to sink small craft, with
that in mind I included lots of ammo, it uses a 100 rd box type magazine and I
saw no reason why a skipper couldn’t have 40 or so of these stacked in the boat
somewhere.
The weapon is available for all boats but does "NOT" work well on any sub with
a "bathtub type" AA deck (it sits very low) Works nicely on the S boats.
I really think this weapon is unfinished and hopefully the Dev's will include
a proper working version in a later patch.
I've also included my S-18 Conning Tower Mod (cheat) so you can mount this for
early war patrols.
(This mod works with version 1.1 of SH4)
(This is Compatible with The Increased & Improved ammo mods)

\DATA\SUBMARINE\NSS_S18\NSS_S18.upc
-----------------------------------
- IDLinkUnitPartIntervalDefault1= NULL, 1942-09-15, SClassConning2 <changed from 1 < this line is located under "Crew Evolutions" at the very top of the page

(this makes the upgraded conning tower avail from the start so early S-18 patrols
can mount an aa gun)

this was an old mod for the v1.1 and v1.2 of the game so the mod was probably not updated to work with the newer version game but as i demonstrated, with just a little effort you can take any old outdated or non-working mod or just the mod idea and remake it yourself. not all are explained as well as this one but with some trial and error most are fairly easy to figure out.


just follow the simple steps i just laid out for you and "remake" the mod, its good to learn this stuff if you want to make mods.

you can also download the one i did for you here: http://files.filefront.com/Browning+.../fileinfo.html

when i went to try the mod out i found it wasnt working for me with v1.5, not sure why but i will look into it. maybe thats why the mod was never updated.

thanks webster i will give it a go
