Star shell mod anywhere?

Folks,

I've been looking into the star shell thing... the only reference to star shells i've seen so far is something to do with the 88mm ( node 134 i believe) so if its in the game i'm assuming its on a ship (As I've seen DD's use star shells)... would it not be possible to check the weapon loadouts on the Jap ships and see how these are implemented and then try and clone the info into the relevent weapons loadout on a sub? (I have no experience at all with nodes and renaming or cloning stuff like that so i could quite easily screw it up)

or would it be easier to look at a gun like the 5.25 and see why they put the AP ammo info in there (check S3D) i take it something in the game uses 5.25 AP ammo but its not implemented in the ammo files for the subs... it is however easy enough to implement AP ammo on the 5.25 which in turn displays the correct ammo pics and ammo amounts when manning the 5.25 AP HE AA in that order.

Sorry if i've covered things others are doing, have done or have talked about but i'd really like those Star Shells!!!!

All the main modders out there... keep up the good work, you guys
