No problem VD....no harm done

Hullo, chaps
I finally made it

Upon being installed GWX and additional ammo mod, found that

a) an accurate and historical mod, which is very nice
b)I can rely longer patrols on my beloved deck gun
and
c) all ammo were HE

On the HE part... this was modded by gwx, i take?
i really missed that assortment of ammo
any notice bout some mod on this?

Cheers everyone, a great job done here

Pleased your enjoying it.

We took the SS and AP shells out for GWX....it is debatable yet not conclusive if they were actually carried by U-boats.

First of all, forgive my rusty, mouldy english

Well, took me bout an hour to check some info
in not-so-unknown sources as www.uboatarchive.net
from where I will show extracts of interrogatories
carried on surviving U-boat crews.

U-175




U-199




U-701




and on diverse places as the book on Luth "U-boat Ace" by Jordan Vause,




www.uboat.net on Robert L Holt sunk by U-69



adn definitely the Kriegstagebuch from U-625 on sinking
the damaged SS Empire Sky





Well, I added a match and brought more fuel to the question, perhaps.
But I think it would be quite fair reconsider the statement "U-boat never carried AP or SS" that i read in quite a number of posts.
And if so, at least i would leave the gap for a future add of incendiary (as AA maybe was almost useless in 105, maybe) ??

Besides i've seen about 3 up to 5 types of ammo for the smaller guns,
which i'll not mention here now, from same and other sources.

Cheers all out there,

Happy hunting

Well researched.....but as I said earlier it is debatable and no doubt that debate will continue.

[Graf Paper]

I lean toward the idea that u-boats likely did carry at least a few incendiary rounds for the purposes of setting ships ablaze, especially tankers.

AP rounds are something I'd hold suspect, since their primary use would be against armor and I've never heard of a u-boat winning a gun battle with a warship.

Regardless of what sort of loadout, I enjoy your mod, jimbuna. Graf like more boom-boom!

Cheers Graf, but like I've stated on so many occasions in the past....people are free to use or discard....either way is good

Yeah, I forgot the use of incendiary by Kretschmer on his own account
against which ship i cannot remember now (i'm too old )
Agreed Graf, on ablaze ships, and most of the accounts i`ve collected on it,
the results were rather uncertain, but mostly were against some general cargo ships.
Hilfskreuzer used it with tankers geting good results

AP seems to me a little bit out of place too,
and also those almost useless AA (to me, despite they were used)
but perhaps not the SAP?
Anyway, the HE came with nose fuze and base fuze,
so the latter would fill the gap for non-armored ships,
exploding somewhat further inside the hull?

Well, anyhow, I am grateful for the mod (and other work of yours)
works wonderfully and still a realism feature too

SINK EM ALL!!

On her last patrol the U-172, a IXc, carried some 90-odd rounds of 105mm and 80,000 rounds of 20mm ammunition.

I'm in the process of finishing a few FlaK related mods that will address some shortcomings of the AAA aspect of SH3/GWX. There will be multiple ammunition configurations available depending on class of boat and gun configurations.
