Type IX conning tower problem

[Penelope_Grey]

You lose it because the IXD2 does not model such a feature. IXD2's and IXC/40's all use mainly the IX/3 conning towers.

Yeah...right, also if historically, IXD and IXC types kept the IX1 configuration until late 1943...it would be nice to model that

Here some are talking about use a heavy AA in a type II boat

Could be very interestin have the possibility of personalize the AA guns in the boat or mount a heavy gun in the place of the light.

or have the early 37 cm flak and the IX/2 tower with light guns

Hey?

If you want a IX/1 conning tower on your IXD just double click it in the upgrade screen and hey presto. But you can't have a heavy flak without the Ix/3 tower on the IXC and IXD.

If you but ViiC/4 tower on IXB you have tree Heavy AA guns + deck gun.(mod).
I think that Heavy AA wth IX/1 tower goes wth IX/1 tower, and not with IXB boat.
But will IX/1 tower And Heavy AA work with IXD in upgrade menu, i do not know.:hmm:
If not maybe you can mod it to work ??

Go get em girl!!

Whether or not it was an uncommon thing to see a IXC or a IXD with that configuration makes it a pity that you can't do it though. Having gone through the "what uboat is this" thread it shows that U-181 had this configuration for apparently quite some time. Just a bummer we can't just apply it as such .

The 37mm was actually responsible for a crewmans death :hmm:

perhaps the long underwater periods damaged the guns.

One interesting sentence from one of the pages. :hmm:

" Later at Narvik I asked one of the pilots whom we had fished out of the soup what he preferred - attacks with his plane through artillery and shrapnel fire or a depth charge attack on a U-Boat. He only laughed and patted my shoulder....


"If my plane is disabled,” he said, “I still can bail out with my parachute. If your sub is disabled and your engines sputter, and your last compressed air is used up - you’ve had it and you die like a damn rat.”
