just sent the Narwhal 1.83 to Neal :

all done : hopefully

- fixed the M02 DG in the .dat to 180,0,180

- fixed the surface radar date in the Narwhal.upc from NULL to 1942-07-05

- implemented Peabody's renaming torpedo tube fix (so no more german torpedoes showing up)

- added my flotillas fix Narwhal now available to all flotillas

But, what about the incorrect 6 inch gun caliber??? How are we supposed to have fun shooting it when we know it's the wrong caliber???

What is your source for that?

Valor at Sea:

Guns2 - 6" 50 cal,

Wiki says:

6 inch (150mm)/53 Cal.

So what do you say is incorrect?

Do you realize Caliber has more than one meaning?

It looks like 6"/53 is correct for the Mark 15.

What he said.

keltos01 · 05-05-10, 05:19 PM

the caliber is correct at 6 inches.

the barrel length was made both from blueprints and pictures of the real gun, look back up this thread and you'll see how I made it.

I think it's as correct as can be.

6 inch is not the caliber in this case.

I think you should rebuild the entire sub from scratch, we can't have junk like this.....

Want to fix it? Go to UpgradePacks.upc in the Narwhal mod, find the Narwhal gun (last entry) and change:

NameDisplayable= 6" 50 cal Deck Guns (Bow and Stern)
to
NameDisplayable= 6" 53 cal Deck Guns (Bow and Stern)
or
NameDisplayable= 6" 53 cal Mark 15 (Bow and Stern)

(Don't tell them and they will never know)

@Fred8615
I thought you were being serious about the guns being wrong. You got me on that one.

I did sent a crewman up on deck to measure it and the guns are correct, ALMOST, they are 6/53.0001.
