surface ship probs

I remember reading somewhere, I think in the Yamato Beta topic, that someone increased the firing range (of the Yamato) to the real max range of 44,000 yards with lookouts capable of seeing 17miles in good weather..

Does anyone know the files that he modified? I'm sure that triple 16'' turrets have a longer spotting range then 5000yds..

Cheers,

I don't know how to adjust those files, but you're right: every battleship had a Gun Director mounted at least 100 feet above the water, with a rangefinder at least 40 feet across. They could spot a ship at about 25,000 yards.

Hood and Bismarck opened fire at 21,000 yards, and that was in overcast weather. Yamato has to be at least that good.

I know there are some changes you can make in the CFG folder that help. crewai.cfg and sim.cfg. the Sim.cfg give max firing ranges for cannons and AA. The crewAI.cfg will give distances for what is considered short, medium and long range.
