Cruiser 8" Gun Numbers?
« on: June 08, 2017, 08:51:26 AM »
Does anyone know what number(s) the 8 inchers are on the cruiser.  I just fired some rocks at a cruiser and hit guns in the teens, and also the 40's.  Trying to determine if I took out any of the big ones.

Thanks

Edit:  What would be the dot command to determine this?  Say the cruiser is F13.  .dt F13gng? .dtF13bas?

Thanks!

I believe the 8-inch guns are (front to back):

BAA018
BAA019
BAA01A

You can check these for yourself by using Offline Practice.  Go to a CV group tower, enter the hangar and select Gun Ship or Field.  This should show you all the guns on all the ships.

From there, select Options - Arena Setup - Objects - Destroy Objects.  On the right side clipboard screen you'll see a list of all the CV group objects.  Scroll down to the object list for ship005 (Cruiser) and you can destroy the guns one by one as you watch them turn red on the hangar screen.  That will tell you which gun number goes with which gun.

Thanks much!  Will test and post results tonight.

A brilliant approach, Zener!  Well done.  :aok

The dot command for say CV13 8" guns on cruiser would be:  .dt f13baa.  Then you can look for baa018, baa019 or baa01a in the list.  The other (baa) numbered guns are 5" guns on the ships.  Hitech made it easier by right clicking on the CV or base on the clipboard map, then clicking on the downtimes for that CV or base in the displayed table.  Then you can look through the list for the specific gun numbers.  The hanger diagram of the task force will only show the manned guns and not the auto guns.  The 40mm guns are (bat), 20mm guns are (bas) and the 5" guns are (baa) also.  Auto guns are (gng), etc..  I started a task force map and never finished it.  I have a little more time now and may finish it.  Anyone is welcome to it if they are interested.

The auto guns are of three types

GNA - Armored Auto Guns
GNH - Hard Auto Guns
GNG - gun Emplacements

The other gun types are

BAA - Armored Gun Battery
BAT - Gun Battery
BAS - Soft Gun Battery

Aside from the guns you can see in the hangar (i.e. - mannable gun positions):

The Destroyers have 3 BAAs (equivalent to 5in), 4 GNGs (equiv to a field auto ack) and 4 GNHs.  17 total guns including mannable.
The Cruiser has 4 GNAs, 4 GNHs, and 10 GNGs. 27 total guns including mannable
The CV has 2 GNAs, 48 GNGs, and 7 GNHs.  71 total guns including mannable.
