[FIXED BY 1.08] 127mm gun on USS Stockdale

[82charlie]

I have a few questions about the 127mm gun on USS Stockdale in Basic Training: Warship Operations using v1.02 Build 480.

1) I have HECVT loaded on mount, but I want to use HiCap instead. Under HiCap, text in red states that Weapon is not loaded on mount. I allocate it anyway and it fires away. After it starts firing, I check back for suitable weapons. There I see that both HECVT and WP have OK-can fire, but HiCap is still listed as not loaded on mount, despite its shells landing on towed arty. bty. target and the ammo counter is decreasing. There is only one 127mm mount, so there should only be one type of ammo available to fire.

2) How come that 127mm gun can fire on towed arty. bty. over that high ridge that is protecting it to its east, but cannot fire over the island on that Soviet ship.

Thanks for reporting this, would be great if you could upload a save for us to look at [8D]

This is with Build 483 and so it is slightly different than OP.

On the DB page for USS Stockdale it shows that I have HECVT loaded on 127mm/62 MK45 mount, but when I select manual option to fire on Towed Artillery, only HiCap shows Ok to fire.

I select HECVT, even though it shows that it is not loaded on mount, allocate 20 on target and close the box.

I wait until I get a message that informs me that HECVT missed Towed Howitzer. I select manual option to fire again and I see that this time both HiCap and WP are OK to fire. HECVT is listed as not loaded on mount, even though it is firing and ammo count is going down.

Also notice, that I'm firing over the top of 316m ridge at a target that is at 157m elevation.
