20mm deck placed aa gun

SuperEtendard · 06-23-12, 07:57 PM

hello, i noticed in the sh4 intro that some of the subs (or the sub, i dont know) have a 20 mm behind the coning tower, at stern. I dont know wich sub was, it had the latest coning tower for the old subs. and those metal bars at stern, so it could be a Gar, Tambor or Sargo. My question is if this is possible, i havent been late in the war with one of the old ones. so i dont know what upgrades exist for them. Can i get a 3rd aa gun?

I know TMO has a deck mounted 20mm later in the war. Kinda nice to have 2 x 20mm, and 1 x 40mm AA guns loaded up.

Mine has two 6" guns one 40mm gun and one double 20mm turret

A turret is an enclosed, powered gun position. Your guns, even the 6" guns, are called "mounts".

Just an old sailor straightening out a young swab.

CptLoonee, is that the famous Narwhal ?? you can sink the few escorts in a convoy with torps, and then surface and sink the whole convoy with those monsters hahaha

Mine is the USS Nautilus, but yes. It is the second of the Narwhal class.

It's a hog when it comes to maneuvering, and it is slow and highly fuel inefficient, but she packs a punch with that firepower. If there are three or fewer destroyers, I feel confident engaging in a surface attack, especially at night. My guns hit harder than theirs and the sub is harder to hit.

I am doing a Guadalcanal tour right now and am just sailing with the US fleet. I am like another destroyer in that group!

I am not sure if it is available now. I got it long ago when it was released as the first and only mod I have seen that was downloadable with a donation. It was worth it.

I think this is where I got it.

I believe it is available in campaign mode with the Run Silent Run Deep Campaign Mod.

Part of the fun is not knowing what you'll get. How would you feel if on Christmas (or any equivalent: holiday, birthday, etc.), you knew exactly what you were getting? Where's the surprise in that?
Oh well, anyway, if you're playing the Stock Version (or even RFB-I think), you'll never get more than two AA gun mounts. TMO has a third deck-mounted AA gun that you cannot control, but the AI handles it.

Ok, thats right

. But its very hard for me not to accept the balao or gato,
im very tempted by their great amount of fuel, at 10 knts i can last for weeks in the patrol zones,

Well, bad news for me then

... first i have to get the U-boats expansion, but i cant found it anywhere without downloading, (i cant pay via internet).
SH IV Gold actually doesnt exist in any local stores of my city, I found one at the argentinian E-Bay (Mercado Libre), but the user sells it at the equivalent of more or less 100 dolars

. So, im stuck and my choices are few.

CptLoonee, thanks for the link
