Does this mod alter the position of the deck gun on the porpoise class boat? I've narrowed the position change down to the traveller mod. My install is as follows:

1_TriggerMaru_Overhaul_2-5
RSRDC_TMO_V502
RSRDC_V5xx_Patch1
1.5_Optical Targeting Correction 031312 for RSRDCv502
Traveller Mod v2.6 TMO
Traveller Mod 2.6 OTC 1.5 Patch
#4 Warships retextured
Improved Stock Environment_v3_TMO&RFB
#2 ISE Realistic Colors
Traveller Alternate Loading Screen 2
Traveller Mod 2.6 Patch 1 - ISE v3 Patch

In this setup the porpoise's deck gun is on the front of the boat melded into a forward mast. I've checked a bunch of pictures of the porpoise class sub and found some to have bow and some to have stern facing deck guns. Either way if the placement is on purpose due to this mod (not sure why it would change the position), it places the gun much too far forward into one of the forward masts and drives me nuts.

I was also wondering if anyone noticed the torpedo wake behavior. I fire a torpedo and the wake automatically extends behind the length of the sub even at 0kts. I'm guessing this is part of the longer wake behavior.

Edit: It appears that there were three variants of the porpoise class. The p-1, p-3, p-5. P-1 variant had two ships named porpoise and pike, which appear to have a bow deck gun. The rest of the boats were of the p-3 and p-5 type. Seems like making the deck gun in front would cater only to a couple boats, were 15 or so had stern guns and seem out of place. Again double checking if the new deck gun placement is due to the mod.
