[WIP] Town Class DD, and a Question - Page 4

When I have time, I've been working on a Town Class DD as a replacement for the British and Canadian Clemsen Destroyers. The ex-USN flushdeckers as used by the Royal Navy and the RCN in the game are completely ahistorical, many changes had to be made before they were usable as convoy escorts, chief of which was the reduction of topweight and changes in armament.

Armament varied in stages until 1943 when it generally consisted of:

1 x 4"/50 single
1 x 12 pounder (3"/40 Mk.V) dual-purpose AA single
4 x 20mm Oerlikon AA
1 x Triple mount 21" torpedo tubes
2 x DC Rails
4 x MK.I DCT (K Guns)
1 x Hedgehog ASW mortar

Maximum speed was generally reduced to 28 knots due to age. A few had a boiler and funnel removed to increase fuel storage as they were inefficient steamers at convoy speeds. These were known as Long Range Escorts and had a maximum speed of 25 knots.

Since I don't know how to use 3D modeling software, this is a mash up using skwas' Silent 3ditor and parts from other in game warships. Sadly, I cannot put canvas dodgers or splinter mats on the superstructure stanchions and rails like there should be.

Still to do: Positioning tweaks, reflections for the added parts, a redone skin, equipment and sensor files.

HMS Georgetown (ex-USS Maddox DD-168) 1943

As there is no 12 pounder AA guns in the game I have been using the 40mm single AA as a substitute, however I am fairly certain that I can make a reasonable approximation using the game's gun models.

What I need to know is what determines the amount of damage from a gun's shells. I have looked through the gun files in the library folder and can find no reference to hit points or damage inflicted.

If anyone can enlighten me on this matter or point me to the correct files, it would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT: Question solved thanks to CCIP. Now to figure out how it all ties together.
