Upgrade to captured 5" deck gun

Hunter One · 08-07-08, 03:42 AM

At the end of one of my last missions the upgd to a captured 5" US deck gun was available. I didn't have enough rknwn to upgd so I went out and sank 90000+ tons on my next patrol to ensure enough rknwn. But upon docking and going to the upgrade it was not available!!!??? Has any1 figured out how to mod this to make it available? I tried changing some of the files like the "105mm_soclu" to "5_25_soclu" in the cfg data files but to no avail

. Thanks for the help.

Another boat captain probably got it before you, limited supply you see.

If you really want to make it available longer, look into

I saw that and did change the dates available but it did not change the availability in my current career. Maybe if I finish my current patrol it will be there after I dock. I love to go on surface combat as one of my favorite games was Task Force 1942 by Microprose from years past.

Thank you for the suggestion.

2 more patrols no 5" deck gun available. Maybe it was a one time deal, anyone else experience the same???:hmm:
