RTW2 Manual convert to DocX

[oldpop2000]

I've converted the manual from PDF to docx which is Microsoft Word. I have also collected two of the post manuals provided by the members. This would be "A beginners manual for operating aircraft" and "How to draw ship superstructures". I have converted those to Docx. I believe I have added the first to the manual at the end and have provided a selection of gun data along with it. It isn't complete but it isn't that hard. I hope this helps all of you. We or I, can do more with this, if we choose. Download it and see what you think. 

BTW, the posting of this was approved.

I am going to review the gun data and get the complete list with data. I think I added 14 in. twice. No worries.

I've added a docx copy of "How to view your air force" to my zip file.

Many of the forum members have provided some excellent data for all of us. I can't begin to find them all so let's make this a team goal. Go find those pieces of information, put the link here and I will convert it to docx and include it in the zip file.

I have decided not to add more gun data, unless someone really needs certain gun calibers.

This is not just my project, it belongs to all of us. The idea behind the docx format is to allow all of us, the chance to add information to the manual concerning experience and information we have gleaned from the game and history. This is a living project, let's make it work for all of us.

I decided to capture the gun data images and place them in an XLSX file (excel spreadsheet). They are side by side, in order but I need to get the complete set. I am going to put together a spread sheet for large caliber, medium caliber and small caliber guns in one work book. I have uploaded the work book for all of you. The gun caliber's missing are the 19 inch and 17 inch. Those I haven't researched yet so I don't know. 



Update: I have updated the work book to include a spreadsheet with medium caliber guns from  6 inch to 9 inch. I will have the small caliber done today, it will range from 2 inch to 5 inch. I will replace the current with it to save forum space. Check back. 

Update: I have updated the work book to include a spreadsheet with small caliber guns from 2 to 5 inches.  I will update the zip file now.

I think I am done with the docx project. I still need the gun data for the 17 inch and 17 inch guns, I am going to work on this. If any of you, I say again, want something added, just copy it and place it up here and I will add it. I need ideas for inclusion in this project. What would help you?

I've found the rate of fire information but I need to know what the column's mean. ROF is definitely rate of fire, but what does sw or mr mean. I also believe that the ROF's are not correct but without know it, I can't test it.

c sw  ROF mr
2 15  25 4
3 15  25 8
4 32  20 10
5 63 19 11
6 108 18 12
7 172 16 13
8 276 15 14
9 365 14 15
10 500 12 16
11 666 11 18
12 864 10 20
13 1200 09 21
14 1372 09 22
15 1688 08 24
16 2048 08 26
17 3000 08 30
18 3500 08 32
19 3800 07 33
20 4100 07 34

A misconception is the turrets. These are three gun turrets meaning that each gun can be elevated individually. Triple turrets cannot be elevated individually. We need rate of fire per gun, for the four gun turret types.

I found the torpedo data file, but I am not certain how to interpret it.

This is apparently obsolete and doesn't affect RTW2
