But don't worry, in the Battleship's exhibit, I would put all visitors on empty loadout. They don't need machine guns!

posted by Captain Dawson: "On CUP Part 20,
The Kingfisher now has a 20mm cannon instead of the .30cal gun."

-Despite all of ComicZip's fine work to fix turret problems and add rear gunners and stuff, I always had issues with SOME of his 'Heavy Caliber' upgrades and labeling them as 'Field Mods which I feel should be reserved for a RL fielded modification.'.  Changing the Blenheim upper turret to a heavier caliber could be justified to represent going from a one MG mounting to two MGs without making a new turret model but many of the MG to cannon changes were not historically based.  I prefer to fly historical would have liked to see the original load out maintained as an option.  I never added them when I flew a modded install but since going CUP 20 I will just pass over flying those planes.

Hello,

i have noticed that on the J2F Duck and on the Devastator the weapon of the gunner is right from outside view, a .50 machine gun, but in the cockpit the gun looks like a german weapon.

The weapon gunner for the vindicator isn't good too.


Bye.

Technically the weapons are .030 cal machine guns but in game they may be different in the gunner view..no problem if CUP but this comes from the original mods...

[Captain Dawson]

Well, I've flown the Kingfisher multiple times with and without CUP part 20, which I assume includes the new Kingfisher 1.7 patch, and before it had the .30cal, with little punching power, and now it has a large powerful gun with same sound as Me-109 cannons, and the same destructive power. Even more interestingly, the tail gunner has this cannon as well! Completely overpowering against Zeros!    I have a feeling this is a problem with the Kingfisher 1.7 mod though... I posted there a few days ago.

All,
   I contacted Poussin and reported the Spitfire problem in Darwin Spitfires with WAW #20.  He kindly updated the campaign and re-posted for download here:

Thank you Poussin!

Just replaced the original Darwin Spitfires with the revised version, and it's working perfectly.

Many, many thanks to dpeters95 and Poussin!

Monty, what do you think about the Kingfisher with the 20mms and no .30cals? Is it conceivable to add back the forward and rear firing .30cals as a default? Or is it better to take out whatever field mod mod added the 20mms? Or is it better to leave the Kingfisher the way it is and let the Imperial Japanese Navy face the wrath of my cannon armed OS2U!

Hello Griffon_301,


Thanks for your reply. Maybe it will be fixe later because the SBS Dauntless has the good weapon in the gunner view.

Zip's version launches off the boat, other versions don't.  You can start such missions from the water beside the boat, but no cat on other versions of the Kingfisher.  I would be inclined therefore to just empty the cannons for such flights.

[Captain Dawson]

Ok, I guess that's good enough. It's more important to be able to take off from the catapult.
