Title: manned field guns
Post by: kvuo75 on September 15, 2009, 08:55:49 AM

field guns are 40mm bofors, correct?

They labels say 37mm in the hangar.

that is all :)

That's because they are 37mm.  Manned 40mm are on the ships.

I've understood that the mannable field guns are German 37mm FlaKs.

The CV guns are Bofors 40mms.

LOL Kvuo75 you think that's confusing, I've been working on some new custom sounds and on the PT Boat it gets a little confusing.

The 37mm cannon on the bow uses the 30mm_1 sound file and the 40mm cannon on the stern uses the 37mm_1 sound file. LOL I understand why they did it, but at first it was a bit confusing at first.

Just to round out the topic, unmanned field guns are quad 20mm mounts. :D
