Type IX conning tower problem

linerkiller · 12-28-07, 12:33 PM

We all know the Dead Watch Crew bug that curse the type IX-3 conning tower configuration ( dead watch crew after surfacing the boat with a damaged conning tower ). In order to avoid this annoyant problem, I have changed the default IXD2 IX3 mounting with an early war IX1 mounting ( to have at least one heavy girl to face big bees ). But, in the AA equipments, I can only mount a light flak in the conning tower....why

now LK is getting drunk celebrating his 100 posts!

If you want to avoid the IX/3 conning tower of death bug, use GWX 2.0.

It's fixed.

faster than ever Dan

I'm actually using GWX 2.0...never thought that this bug had been fixed

But this little detail interest me, I like the IX1 configuration

In answer to your question then.

The node which houses the larger AA weapons is only on the IX2/IX3 conning towers. That's why you can't attach it to the IX/1 tower. Short answer, it doesn't fit.

Congrats on 100

IX1 tower accept the heavy flack behind the conning tower...In facts, if I start a career with the type IXB with a IX1 configuration, I have the heavy and the light one mounted. But if I upgrade to a IX2 and then go back for the IX1, I lose the heavy mounting behind the tower

And I can't explain why

You lose it because the IXD2 does not model such a feature. IXD2's and IXC/40's all use mainly the IX/3 conning towers.

I just fixed it last night man!!! a problem that we had for years.
Its working fine now! Both type IXC and IXD with tower #1 and ol 37mm gun
they look great and shoot great too
all you need to do is some editing in the Basic.cfg file
I just added an extra line in there.. its tested
I will release it for the public

cheers
