battle ship deck guns

Mataf · 08-19-10, 05:22 AM

Hello again,
I have installed SH3 + 1.4b + no cd + GWX3.

Everything works fine except that when I leave Wilhelmhaven harbor, the big battle ship waiting outside has no deck guns at all... I tried it with and without Mods, but there is no difference. Is it because it's not yet war time, or do I something wrong with my install?

Thanks to all of you and good hunting

Had not noticed this, but neither Bismarck nor Tirpitz were completed and maybe this is reflected in what you saw.

Is this all that's work, or are there any more other glitvhes you may have incountered...

As far as I've seen and been, It's the only problem I've noticed...

Rconch: are you sure of that?

The guns will appear when the historical date comes around for the ship to be completed.

The Bismarck wasn't completed and commissioned until Aug 1940. Sea trials and refits continued until May 1941.

The Tirpitz was completed and commissioned in Feb 1941 with trials continuing until early 1942.

Both ships had been launched before the start of the war, but neither would've been fully fitted for action at that time (or for some time thereafter).

That would be the Tirpitz, I thinks shes armed in mid 1943.

The Tirpitz is indeed docked at Willy at the beginning of the war. I've passed her many a time on my way in and out.

But she'll be operational by the spring of 1942 when she's sent to Norway to serve as a potential threat against Allied shipping in the Arctic.

Of course, should know that as I'm currently reading "Arctic Convoys 1941-1945"

Actually I can't remember when she was sent out... trials/refits/etc were all finished in January, I think, so may have been late winter. But she was definitely up there by the spring of '42.

Here she is in Willy shortly after her launching in April 1939 (Life.com):

The war is only a few months away and as you can see, still lots of work left to be done!

Oh yes! great historical picture.

I did'nt know those details. I feel less ignorant now!

Thank you for that explanation frau Kaleun

De rien! Or gern geschehen, whichever you prefer.

I learn something new just about every day I'm in here.

Which would be, er, pretty much every day.
