Default Warships Antiaircraft-Guns-Upgrade Mod Download

In SH3, some ships do not get their AA-armament upgraded during the war. In fact, due to the increasing threat from aircraft, all navies upgraded the AA-weapons. I have done some modifications to the ships files, to get them closer to their historical armament. At first i upgraded the german ships, with the yet unused 20mm Quadruple. I am on testing that, to get them balanced. Available for download this evening. Later, i will also take a look at the Allies ships.

The Type 34 destroyer will get 1 20 mm Quads in 1942 in lieu of her
aft 20mm.

The Bismarck Battleship, in the game with very tiny AA-guns, will get 8 37mm Doubles in their historical positions, and later some 20 mm Quads. I also added a 20mm gun to her funnel. Indeed she had one there, but in the game she will lose 2 of her 5 searchlight instead.


The Hipper class is armed only with 37mm Double - that is neither historical nor effective (in the game). I gave her a mixed armament of 37mm doubles and 20mm guns, changing to some 20mm Quads later.


Also this is mostly an optical mod, it will also effect game play when enemy airplanes attacking you harbour. Use Rubini's Mod for example and maybe you will notice the increased firepower...

When enemy ships get better AA-guns you will also take more damage in close action. I would like to give the Elco a Bofors gun, but i do no know if the boat was in fact armed with one. But i think when doing this, the player will be more cautious, when falling in with them



The S-100 Boat was in fact armed with 37mm guns and some with 20mm Quads. I changed her original third 20mm gun to 37mm Doubles and 20mm Quads in 1942.



For Download this evening
