WesWorld

oh the advantages of the 5 channels avaliable on terestial in the UK, not too many infomercials here

Five! You lucky person - here, we can't get Five (not that that's a great loss).

In fact, I know a few folks don't have TV at all, and periodically tell them that they're not missing much.

I have one channel. I make a point of not watching it. It would keep me from the more important things I have to do.

I watch the occasional NASCAR, or even CART/IRL, race. Other than that I have no use for the tube.

Threadjackers!

I know. But I didn't start it, and God knows it's not the first time it's happened.

Umm...

20 x 20mm seems like a lotta light flak for a 1928 destroyer, even in Wesworld.

(There, ya happy Swampy?)

Give me $20,000 or the thread gets it!

Having done more research, the Oerlikon 20mm machine guns were designed in 1914 so would be useable on this design

In the very beginning of Wesworld, I was looking both at the 40mm and 20mm as weapons I would use. Navweaps give the Oerlikon date of design as 1939 and the Bofors date of design as 1936.
Of course that does not mean that a 20mm Oerlikon is not around in the 1920s. Probably a predecessor of the one we know from WW2. You got a link somewhere on it?

And back to the O.T. part...

I assume that you also watch the big one then? (Indianapolis 500)
I think that both races at Indianapolis were quite interesting this year, especially the F1 fiasco.
^_^

Channels I watch (here in Holland or on holiday in Canada):
Discovery, Animal Planet, NGC, Space Channel, History Channel, Speed Channel.
Of course the PS2-Channel and X-Box-Channel, too.
And let's not forget the Wesworld Channel that is available only via internet.

Did see the 500...did not see the Formula Schumacher race.

Thanks.
(Making note: check out Wikipedia more often)

Looking at the "Oerlikon 20 mm cannon" link, it does appear to be the same gun, although it was only in the 1930s that it started to be used at AAMGs on warships. Since the gun already exists, it wouldn't surprise me if this gun would become available sooner here in the Wesworld.
