Cool cannons I think I remember these from some time back too.

Were they originally a WW1 deal to begin with.

Big distances love the shot of the sub in the water near miss  ;) :)

I am still wondering how they got to carry those battleship gun-turrets up those hills.
Colossal work those guys did.

In those days, trucks,mules and maybe even with POW's I would imagine they were also dismantled then put back together.

Its very dificult to find photos of the actual cannons and the base they built.
I may be wrong but I think there is a small lighthouse involved in this base. It may be
the Sapuk Lighthouse and just below it was a command and radio house and the guns
were placed near them.
Search google for Sapuk lighthouse.

I have done a quick search but cant find much information on it other than  it was on the same island I have the guns. In the map's texts on the ed map it shows a radio tower there as well. I can try to find a close look a like for the light house if we have one and place it near the guns.

Todays update. No pics but I have finished all the populating fixes except on the island of Dublon. I'll get that done tomorrow morning and if all goes well, I'll release it tomorrow afternoon or the following morning. :)

WOW! Very nice. Thank you Max. I did place the lighthouse we have where I think from some pics that it was and I've made a request to see if someone can make a working one for IL2. I'm just not sure if its possible.

Not sure if I'm too late.  Some information on the lighthouse on the tip of Weno island.
