Norm: Gun Mount Locations on Ships

[Bullethead]

Norm-

Madashellestes said to bring gun mount location problems on the ships to your attention, so here goes:

1) AC Gromoboi
75mm mounts #30 and #42 show up in the "I" screen but not on the ship model in the game. On the "I" screen, they're shown in the same places as the aft 8" guns. Maybe the 75mm guns are there but are totally obscured by the 8"?

2) BB Fuji
76mm mounts #22 and #26 are right next to the mainmast, far from the ship's side, instead of being on the sides of the aft superstructure.

3) Other IJN BBs
Actually, Fuji is just the worst offender in this regard. All fore and aft superstructure 76mm guns in all the IJN BBs are mislocated to some extent, which differs between the ships. Although all except Fuji's aft pair are at least on the right bit of deck, they're all either too far inboard, forward, or aft of their correct positions.

1) AC Gromoboi 75mm mounts #30 and #42...

The 75mm guns in question would actually be on the ends of the elevated area above the 8". It is possible that they are not being shown on the model because of limitations in the number of weapons we can physically track on each ship with separate 3d models without cutting into frame rate. I will check to see if this is the case. Gromoboi and Rossiya are the most heavily loaded ships in the game, in weapon model terms.

2) BB Fuji 76mm mounts #22 and #26...

Boy, those are really hard to see. These gun mounts (22 and 26) were originally located when the models were different. The models changed, and the gun positions were obscured. I never even noticed them there. They've been relocated in the data file, but that won't show up in the game right away.

3) Other IJN BBs...
The others all look pretty close at a quick glance, but I will take another pass at them before the next major update.

Let me know if there are any others I need to look at. I spent over a week positioning weapons on all of the game models, and by the time I was finished my grip on sanity was a bit loose.
