You can in the basic.cfg C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\data\Cfg

[AMMO_TYPE0];10.5cm SK C/32
Idx=0
Year=1939
Month=1
;AP=40
;HE=60
;SS=20
AP=0
HE=110
SS=20
Renown=0
[AMMO_TYPE1];8.8cm SK C/35
Idx=1
Year=1939
Month=1
;AP=40
;HE=160
;SS=40
AP=0
HE=220
SS=20
Renown=0

Add some shells to AP or remove the comment out ;

Uboats only carried HE shells

Ok thanks i will not chnage if they only used HE shells. Where is best to aim with HE shells?

Like with all shells, below the water line mate

From what I understand and Im sure someone will probably tell me wrong but the damage model for HE and AP rounds are basically the same.

Also historically speaking subs did not carry AP rounds for the deck gun.

BTW in case you havent noticed there a lot more rounds carried with the GW mod and for good reason. It takes a lot more rounds to sink a ship, and a LOT more time seeing as the reload time is longer as well.

I believe they plan to address this in the next update. Which is looking awsome btw.

I've tried to change the number of rounds for the deckgun on several occasions but after the change and I'm ingame, they are still the same stock number. Is there another cfg file that needs to be change to the same corresponding numbers of the change made? I've only tried to make the changes "In Base" and not during a patrol.

Is what you showed BBW needrd to be put in the cfg..... the whole thing you wrote or just the changes and not the sections starting with ;i n front of the original setting?
