Except first time he fires the 37, his boat rolls over.

very interesting modification , perhaps too big gun for a small boat, but useful in the late years.

I was looking for a 37 cm gun in the tower in my IX-C, or two.

I think it's a bad idea for a Type II: it's just inviting suicide.

Suicidal? So you say, but I just took down 3 stringbags with my Duck's little 20mm single-barrel popgun, before they could bomb me I might add....did take 3 clips, If I had a rapid firing 37 I could take 'em out faster and sink more fishing boats too

I wouldn't mind driving that prototype

The concept is really not so far fetched!
Haveing done some time in service I know this.
We improvised when needed.
No paper work, no records.
Who is to say this never happened?

Heck, My military records don't show half of what I did
while in service!!!
So does that mean it never happened?

I tell you what it doesn't mean..........Tax Free:hmm:

Real life: equiping u-flaks merely meant that u-flaks got sunk first. I said 'suicide' referring to that, not to what a faulty game lets you get away with.

I know I wouldn't wanna be on deck shooting at a plane behind that flimsy armor on the flak guns...be good or be dead...and I have lost many a flak gunner due to enemy fire
