Got them mounted on my Balao right now. They are pure evil. Got tired of a Destroyer circling me lastnight so I poped up with the stern pointed at him at flank and let him have about 4 or 5 rounds from just the stern gun and well lets say he didn't like the outcome.

Thank you for demonstrating modding/hacking techniques.

Since you are dispensing deck gun wisdom, I have a question. I started a career on a Gar - I'm led to believe there are no bow-guns for Gar & Tambor, so I didn't do the bow-gun-before-leaving-port-or-never workaround. So, my question: Will I ever be able to have a bow gun, on for instance a Gato, later in the war? Or am I stuck with stern guns forever?

part of my master deck gun mod will be to make the stock guns all available fore, aft, and double.

I look forward to the mod. I expect a fleet boat could briefly exceed 40 knots, with 16" guns. After firing them. Possibly 40 kts straight down lol. I wonder whether the sub could even float the weight of the turret. Maybe with outriggers!

But until then - do you know the answer to my question? Am I stuck with stern guns on all future subs? If so, I am tempted to start a new career - just started this one yesterday.

Well, I can't really help with that today, I will look into making a patch to allow for the option of bow or stern for all classes (except S-boats), all years. Just needs some modifying of the UPC files to take care of that.

I was actually making a 'Super Gato' and had it doing 60kts on the surface and 30kts submerged, and had the double 6" turrets fore and aft, with 50 torpedoes, and 'robotic reloading' to reload a torpedo in 10 seconds. Then I decided to start the Deck Gun Mod.
