Feature Request: Add IRL weapons to Iowa #109

Open ImperialCenter000 opened 2 years ago

ImperialCenter000 commented 2 years ago

I don't know how feasible this is, but it would be nice for the Iowa-class BB to have some extra functional weapons that it carried IRL. Namely, the 12 (in 6 dual turrets) 5"/38 cal dual-purpose guns with a range of 18,000 yds. Also, 5 Stinger missile (range ~4,100-5,250 yds) hardpoints were installed; these would make a great (secondary) SAM equivalent for use against aircraft.

Additionally, it would be nice for the Iowa to be excluded from sub-hunting missions on account of its lack of proper sonar and ASW weapons. I know the campaign would be thus endless, but that's fine for surface action.

Adding "ForbiddenFor=BB" to every such mission is simple but tedious with each new update.

Cheers!

@HobbitJack please look at sorting the mission tagging for the Iowa as above.
