How to add deck guns to IIA

Actually it's more like twice the sub's weight. Bismarck's turrets weighed around 1500 tons each, and an Iowa class turret was load-rated at 4 million pounds; that 2000 tons.

If the sub didn't flip over it would sink to the bottom upright very quickly.

perhaps you could add a 3,7
would make a good compromise and after that you can easily increase the 3,7 ammo´s power...

Here´s a link for you alamwuk2a

at least you can make the game show up the model...

- Open basic.cfg in data/cfg
- Find ths entry:

[S01]
DaysSpent=2
NbGuns=4
Idx0=2
Dummy0=37mmTSA_UFlak_High (is the 37mm M42 Twin gun)
Idx1=3
Dummy1=37mmSA_UFlak_High (the 37mm M42 Single)
Idx2=4
Dummy2=37mmM_UFlak_High (the 37 mm )
Idx3=5
Dummy3=20mmVierling_High

- Change the entry

Dummy2=37mmM_UFlak_High

- to

Dummy2=88mm_UDeck_Gun_High

Start the game, buy the 37mm Gun and you have the two guns.
You can also change the other heavy AA-guns to deckguns, i think even the light AA-guns can be replaced...

have fun

---
To make a more serious boat with two deck guns, like the Type XI (?), much more work has to be done.... But you can change the ammo amount in basic.cfg for the 37mm Flak gun to more realistic values.

This topic is interesting...perhaps I could (finally!) be able to add the 37mm heavy flak to the bridge of the IXC and IXD2 (as it was historically, at least for the IX D2).
