German Dual Purpose guns
Hi! Actually playing the awesome ULTRA mod that features a slightly altered version of your mod. I noticed the German dual purpose guns for some reason don't use the "classic" German diameters of 12.7 and 15cm. Is there a specific reason for that? I know the Germans only ever introduced a 12.7cm dual purpose gun, but I think it would be logical for them to go for 15cm instead of 14 as they already had a load of naval guns with this diameter.

The 15cm never was a dual Purpose Gun.
The Kriegsmarine used the 15cm as a heavy seconday gun and a 10,5 cm as light secondary/AA gun.
That were the classic german guns,
12,7cm was classic for US.
The germans developed a 12,8cm dual purpose gun but they were named 12,7 cm guns.

I never said they had a 15cm DP. I said it would make sense for them to go for that diameter as they already used it for regular guns.

Sorry but technicly we were both wrong I read that the germans actually had AA rounds for the 15cm guns.

The Anti-Aircraft Projectiles part

The germans developed the 12,7cm gun for dual purpose use because they used only employed it for barrage use.
