Thx to your Torp mod,, and the dual mounts it's Bad A$$., though manually firing it,, shots one barrel,, but it fires pretty fast if I can set reload a little quicker I'd live with alternating barrels until some one figures out salvo shots,,. I think the number 1 mount runs out of ammo quicker than it should.

I still can get it to let me end patrol at new base I set . Fun news, we have an extra gun. I replaced the searchlight in the .eq file with a single 20 mm, it shows up and can be operated manually. Right now no crew for it and does not fire when ordered, only if man it yourself. pretty cool though. Also have 40 MM on the AI PT bow now.

No problem.

I'm lost on the PT boat. Trying to make it where start out with .50 cal machine guns and have the 20 MM AA guns and single and twin 40 as upgrades later in on. Trying to locate a twin mount as well, I remember there being one for S boats.

How do I change this? I tried changing some dates in the .upc but doesnt work.

If you can find the thread of the original pt-109 you'll see they had a 50cal mounted on the bow and it was manned,,, and if you can find the original pt-109 down load, it is here in downloads, down load that ,, not Bismarcks,, you might get the ai crew back on the 40s and they will be both single barrels,,. You know I might be able to live with a 20 at the search lite mount and get rid of those 20 tubs..
Find Equipment file to change mounts and you'll have to put those goodies in the library/subparts to make them work just learned that doing the Fletch

Screen Shots please.

You really hate those tubs huh ? lol I dont mind them, better than no "turret" at all., since they did have turrets or sorts.

I just want to get deck crew going on guns mounted at GQ, and since playing in campaign have it upgrade over time.



Not best SS butt as can see I have a single 20 MM where spotlight used to be. I actually just placed a single .50 cal there. Least can man it yourself. Problem is when add .50 cal wont let you man the twin .40 anymore.But when have 20 mm there, it will let you man both.Weird huh.


I'd like to get it to the following configurations for career.


December 41- start with twin .50 cals in gun tubs. Make one an AA gun, one function as a deck gun(or both if possible) .Have the spotlight position an optional .50 cal or single 20mm,


Summer of 42 if would like can upgrade gun tubs to single and later in fall 20 MM. This would correpspond with once PT's lull in action that occurred after philippines and midway, starting seeing heavy action at Guadalcanal in October and November , found need for heavier guns.

Around may or june 43 can get 40mm on bow and have which gun(s) would prefer in the spotlight position in the gun tubs. Aft mounted 20 MM and upgrade to 40 in mid to late 43. I'm no sure how to make all of this happen.


Also, was thinking what you said about depth charges for DD. Wonder if could change the decoys around, make them depth charges. When launch decoys, perhaps get a depth charge effect.Ideally itd do damage to a sub but even if just eye candy, itd be cool.

I don't know how you not getting this,, I just redid Bismarcks pt and add my edit upc file and not missing crew at Battle Stations though acouple of times rear 40 gunner wouldn't show

[propbeanie]

I'm guessing that the dude is missing because there's no klaxxon to wake him!

[yubba]

put this here for historic reference,, http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...138319&page=11,, had a brain storm I'd go with the 20mm phlax in place of those tubs

Would you share the UPC entry so I have an example?

[yubba]

that whole file is posted in this tread, and in the Torps for pt-109 thread just copy and paste it,, I even tested it by pulling it down from here to make sure it works
