[REL] Browning .50 MG v1.1a

shad43 · 04-10-07, 11:51 AM

Browning .50 MG (1.2 compatible)
---------------
Ok for your deck sweeping enjoyment comes the Browning .50 (12.7mm?) Machine Gun
This appears to have been disabled by the dev's and was left in the game.
I re-enabled it for use but it has some limitations, 1)It will not elevate high
enough to engage aircraft flying high overhead, 2)It has no target reticle so
you must lead your target with the tracers.
This should "not" be considered as a replacement for your AA guns, if you don't
normally engage aircraft then it makes a cool weapon to sink small craft, with
that in mind I included lots of ammo, it uses a 100 rd box type magazine and I
saw no reason why a skipper couldn’t have 40 or so of these stacked in the boat
somewhere.
The weapon is available for all boats but does "NOT" work well on any sub with
a "bathtub type" AA deck (it sits very low) Works nicely on the S boats.
I really think this weapon is unfinished and hopefully the Dev's will include
a proper working version in a later patch.
I've also included my S-18 Conning Tower Mod (cheat) so you can mount this for
early war patrols.
(This mod works with version 1.1 of SH4)
(This is Compatible with The Increased & Improved ammo mods)

Cheers

I put this in with the mod inabler and I cant see it or fire it..What am I doing wrong???..

How do you take the screen shot from above the boat and so close???????????

shad43 · 04-10-07, 07:27 PM

I took the screenie with Shift+F2

If you installed it in your mods folder and enabled it, it should be in game...
you have to select and install it on your boat from the upgrades panel in port.

shad43 · 04-10-07, 07:36 PM

Clayp...I just d/l the mod and checked the files and installed, everything seems to be in order. You must not be selecting it as an upgrade.

I havent started anything in port yet,what should I do? I just started playing the game and have no previous sub sim experiance..Sorry....

shad43 · 04-10-07, 07:42 PM

Ok...start a career, choose your port and sub, after it loads you will be in an office, click on the sub on the desk and you will see a screen showing your subs configuration.
From here you can manage your upgrades, crewmen and torpedos...Good luck

RICH12ACE · 05-24-08, 07:26 AM

Link has died

MrSargyano · 06-27-08, 08:43 AM

You wouldnt catch me turning away anything that can potentially be used as a weapon and certainly not something that IS a weapon! I run into small ships often enough and while I am not paying for torps, ports are few and far between and those tiny ships make for difficult targets IMO. Extra .50's would be a great addition to the Shark!

I did notice that my existing twin AA gun can knock a fishing boat (120 tons) about so bad it will actually stop moving or even get turned about last nite though
