Hi there,

I'm trying to add some more units for my 1975 AAR - which are missing in the database.

My first new unit is the M42 Duster (SPFLAK).

Now i'm not sure how to add the correct number of guns? For West Germany i could use AAA5 - i think this a single gun, but the M42 has a twin anti-aircraft gun.

So how to add the second gun? Add a new weapon entry - but where to define it is a twin gun? Or should i add the AAA5 twice to the M42 unit template?

If i take a look at the soviet AAA7 and AAA11 entry they are marked as 2X and 4X - only difference is the SA Value - 7 or 8. But with the design notes SA values seems to be a closed job? So how i have to setup my twin anti-aircraft gun for my M42 Duster?

Thanks in advance
Big

Best thing to do is make a new weapon entry for the dual guns using the same values as the single and up the SA value by 1 point to account for the additional rounds going down range.
