spob 13
units: 61-16inch naval gun and
74-16inch BB
are equipped with wep 198 1000lb bomb
they should have a 16 inch gun, but it is not on the oob, i beleieve it was replaced by the 1000lb bomb by mistake

I'm not sure why that happened but it did and it's not the first "1000 pound bomb" issue that's been reported though I don't recal ATM what OOB the other one was in but I will do a full search for duplicate 1000 pound bombs.

To fix this copy the 16 inch gun from weapon 198 in the USA OOB to 198 in the USMC OOB.

This happened in the Polish, Russian and USMC OOB's. I have NO idea why and each one impacts on a number of units. ( it was the Polish error that had been reported before )

I will issue corrected OOB's for those nations in the next day or two

UPDATE: note that those 2 units i mentioned seem to be on the wrong formation, there's a formation with NGF Support, so they could be moved

There are not in the wrong formation They are exactly where they have been now for years. There is a "Naval Support" formation for 5 in destroyer gunfire and 8 inch Cruiser gunfire but there has never been one for BB's The 16 inch guns only show up under Medium battery when there is a beach assault along with all the other naval guns

"Naval Support" will show up all the time becasue the guns in that formation are not classed as "Naval" so that some naval support is available for non beach assault battles ( without overdoing it ) simply becasue of the unique situation of USMC in WW2
