i think it'd be possible within realistic limits on lets say a XI or XXI and it would make surface defence alot easier:hmm:

what say you?!

I am not a friend of adding deckguns where they did not belong too (XXI) but i would like to use deckguns against aircraft like they did in WWII.

Kind regards

actually my crew was doing this, i think it was a glitch though

Are you sure it wasn't a 37mm flak you saw them firing at aircraft? It does look like a deck gun generally speaking.

Yeah, ......But at least the Narwhal could actually hit something with it's guns! (...And it could point them at a target on it's beam!)

Does anyone know of any real reports dealing with the Soucouf's gunnery trials??

This might be a bit off topic, but is there any way to remove the deck gun off my type VIIC/42 without using SHcommander?

Well, ....I'm also a Noob when it comes to serious modifications, ...and my pet project is to "simply" exchange a single 37mm for the foredeck 20mm on my TypeIID.

It turns out that the task is ANYTHING but simple!

Privateer has been 'bending over backwards" to help me, and I am still nowhere near to accomplishing my goal.

I suspect that the task you have in mind will be even more difficult; ....as my TypeIID at least HAS a "hardpoint" on the foredeck (the wrong kind), whereas your TypeXXI does not!!!

Best of luck!!

I already asked him about his project: twin 120mm Flak

That should by the sufficient response for those GWX-TIE-fighters that you call Hurricane or Swordfish ....

Not much use against the Death Star or the mermaids with the nuclear tipped nipples though

no, it was the 10.5 cm Deck gun on the IXD2....
i don't know what good it would of done maybe bernard told them it would work...
anyways it kept popping up the aircraft spotted bubble many times and finally the AA guns started firing. i think it all went back to me clicking the "engage aircraft button when the bubble first appeared when planes were sighted. you guys might want to look into it
