The hud is a combination of the hud from the Fall of the Rising Sun mod and the original hud with some tweaking in photoshop.

Thanks, I thought it would be a pretty neat feature to add.
I do have a custom mission that puts this ship up against some of the Super battleships in the game and will put up a vid of it once I have all the kinks worked out. It has the standard 10 that the Balao class has. Six in the front and four in the back, but it will have many more torpedoes stored away in its hull. Still not sure how many I'll put in but it'll be alot. I didn't really feel it needed more than ten tubes

Yes it is, and something of a total surprise to the enemy. I did at one time think of making part of it into an aircraft carrier but that would have been way too much in my opinion.

You'll get it when the time comes. It's in its final stages of testing.

-----------------------------------------
Now for an update. I have tweaked the handling so it actually feels like a battleship while maneuvering. The downside to that though is it will take a little longer to surface than before even with the hyped up ballast flood speeds. Also when submerging the ship must be going at least 10 knots.
But without further ado I present a new torpedo layout. I think 10 storage in the rear and 20 in the front is good.

And the "Dreadnought" subsim arms race is on!

Next up;
the YamaIowaDreadPT Superbattleship which launches it's own counter-submarine-submarine. The entire hull is surrounded by a subnet. Top speed is 2 knots and it rolls 360 when firing it's broadside.

Not to be outdone the Air Force will come up with a PBY with turrets and droppable single-man suicide mini-subs.

No gun slots Are you using a mod that limits the crew size? Did you remember to tell the crew to fire at will? I've done that before during missions and wondered why the guns won't fire. Nothing else needs to be done after using the mod enabler. Also a screen shot of the error could help in me fixing this problem.

I compressed this right from my own mods folder so everything should be there.
