The light cruiser HMS Furious born as ligther battle cruiser was immediately turned into aircraft carrier, first with a front flight deck then with the addition of a rear flight deck, in 1922 was transformed into a real aircraft carrier in 1932 was modified the anti-aircraft weaponry and it remained so until 1938 when it was changed in part by the addition of  an island for the control of air operations and other anti-aircraft weapons.
The Mod is the HMS Furious 30s.

Greetins Gio.

OK.

I'll make classfiles and ini entries for its original slot.

[western0221]

Those AAA are looking like QF 2-pounds POM-POM gun.
Furious equipped POM-POM guns at 1939's modernization.
You say you are modelizing 1932-1938 one , that time she had 4x 45 caliber 10.2cm single AAA Mk.V.
Now I don't have spare time to change those models , possible only preparing classfiles and ini entries.
If QF 2-pounds POM-POM property is OK in ini , I'll write it even not-historical.


Ah.... and how about shadow receiver mesh files on the deck?
Today's model seems to fail those arrangement, aircrafts' shadows are not drawn on the deck.
It needs 3D arrangement , but not so hard and long time for me, maybe.

Many Thanks gio,works in CUP-WAW20

Hi.

1931 - 1932: - 4 x 1 - 40/39; + 1 x 1 - 102/45 QF Mk V, 2 x 8 - 40/39 2pdr QF Mk VIII

reference at "fighting ships of the world"

OK.

The web site I referred might have wrong data.
I'll write that armaments parameters.

for the shadow I not clear the rigth mhes position , in Hier have the Mhes but I'not able to see on the deck.

OK. I'll also try it.

Armament installed 1925
10x5.5in
6x4in HA (4 on fore deck, 2 on after deck, clear of cranes)
4x3pdr
4xMG
10xLewis Guns
Source: RA Burt, British Battleships 1919-1945

No other major armament changes until 1939.

Thanks Gio, she is a beautiful old lady!

[gio963tto]

Some sources speak of changes in anti-aircraft weapons other say no change, in these pictures it seems to me that the complex '2pdr QF Mk VIII' are present


http://www.naviearmatori.net/ita/foto-193128-1.html

The real mistake is the lack of the 102 mm complex to  front.

greetins Gio.

[asheshouse]

Can't argue with the photograph. Looks like 2x 8 barrel pom poms with 2x4in HA guns behind them.
2x 4in HA on the after deck is probably correct.

[western0221]

I think I finish my task I can do in this time.

 - create an original slot
 - write a new ships.ini entry with all the guns working in suitable performance
 - add correct shadow receiver mesh-es on the deck
 - retouch collision boxes not to float planes too high on the deck
 - retouch some hooks , too
 - delete non used files

I'll do more test missions and post it after about one day.
I don't have a time to research again for her armaments in 1932 - 1938 and arrange them in 3D , so I keep gio's 3D status .... nothing changed.
