Default WIP - Improved Liberty Ship

I decided to rework another of the stock units - this time the Liberty Ship. For such a simple-looking ship the superstructure was extremely hard to do. I am still not entirely happy with it but it looks a lot better than my first attempt. I still need to do some work on the gun platforms, rigging, and deck cranes. Below are some shots of the new model, as well as a picture of the original Liberty Ship.

Hurry up, my favorite targets in convoys are the ones which have milititary equipment on deck and soon the USA will be hostile in my current used carrier.

Do you never sleep, IABL?

I can't wait for the final version because the WIP looks awesome!

@ivank - I can't convert ships yet but I hope to learn. If anyone else would like to they are welcome to.

Added a couple of "stingers" to the gun tubs on the bridge.




Damage model testing, using one of the Naval Academy missions. Naval Academy is an excellent mode to test new ships. All changes to the 3d model and skins appear without having to reload the game - you only need to start the mission over again. Also, because not many units need to be generated the missions take a few seconds to load up - very convenient.

I am almost ready to upload the pre-release version. If anyone is interested in beta testing, please let me know. I would especially like users of stock SH3 to test it in Museum to make sure that there are no CTD's - however, any testers would be welcome.

If I may be so bold,and If you ever have any time on your hands(I know thats not likely)would you consider IAMBL to makeover the blasted C3 large cargo,I consider it to be the ugliest ship in the SH3 roster,and in dire need of fixing?just a thought:hmm:
