The IX B and IX C Mod is work in Progress an not finished yet.

So, how exactly are they WIP? Based on the screenshots they are better than many released items out here.

Regarding textures, have you added something for the Snorkel, or is it a "stretched" base texture?

And like many else, I highly appreciate the work. It will no doubt make me re-install SHIII!

@kovall

As I had a closer look on your pictures, I recognized that you rescaled the Turms of the IX B and IX C.
Now, the crew aren´t giants any more and the size of the tower is more like the real thing.
It must have been a hell of work to do that, I am impressed about your eye on detail.
Also, the open flood holes on the IX are amazing.

Brilliant work, looking forward to things to come!

Большое спасибо за хорошую работу!

Beste Grüsse, Kurfürst

@ KarabekianKaleun

@ kurfürst
You're absolutely right.
The height of all Turms fixed.
Work, of course, is not hell, but the nerves wore out much.
It's easy to professionals. We enthusiasts, amateurs.

There are unpleasant sides.
The Turm hatch will be closed and won't be able to open. Decided so far it not to open because, during a storm water passes through Turm.
It is possible, of course, to open(I'm sure, Anvart won't be against) and make the descent simulator in Turm(3D-plane+texture), but it is additional work.

Horrido Wise,

the Snorkel Looks very nice, especially the rubber coating!

Here´s a technical drawing of the schnorchel head, just to show how deep you and Kovall have gone into detail:

Very imprssive work!

S!
This Sub looks really fantastic ..Looking forward to add it to my fleet!
Thanks for your artwork:Kaleun_Thumbs_Up:

Very impressive mate.

Horrido Wise,
Horrido Kowall;

I hope you both make good progress with your IX B and IX C Mod!
Looking forward to see them in the game!

Bests Grüsse, Kurfürst

This is so amazing!

Gotta say, one of the biggest disappointments with SH5 was seeing all the type IX artwork in the loadscreens, then getting stuck with the VII!

Hi, kurfürst,
Hi to all.
Boats are made. Now testing in game. Eliminates errors 3d, 2d and technical nuances. You do not want to see these boats in a your game were with bugs?
In addition, it was decided to add a boat IXD2 of SH4. It is necessary to adapt to our mod.
Also, work was done to establish the gyrocompass and the hatch turm, again using the scheme's Anvart(Alex,thanks.)
Specific release dates will not name, but,presumably, a week, two weeks ..In any case, it is not 4 months, how much has been spent on the creation of mod.
Patience, my friends. Quality work is not done quickly.

Horrido Wise,

no worries with the release date, take all the time you need!
Personally, I waited for this so long, a few weeks more won´t make any difference. It´s quality over speed!

Very good News that you are adding the IX D2 to the game, too!
The stock model was realtively poor, combined to the SH IV one.

Great News, looking forward to the things to come!

Beste Grüsse, Kurfürst

Liked very much of the models! :up: Loved more the U-45!:yeah:

Perhaps make the Snorkel also available in SH4 and not only SHIII?

Wise,
Take all the time you need to finish....really looking forward to driving one of your Type IX boats :)

Kelly621

I do not mind... For sukhoi community and you personally have got all the permits and the "green light".
:woot:

Superb work :up:
After many years of playing SH3 we can have proper Type IX model now.
Do you plan to create new models of the rest subs in the future?

Little mistake for correction
 

@Wise

Again, thank you very much for this amazing work :up:

@NGT
Oh, mein Gott! What shame! :k_confused:Overtired!:k_rofl:
Kaleun NGT, thank very much for remark!:Kaleun_Salute:
But, do not worry, this bug, fortunately, is not critical and will not affect the game. But just in case, a bit later, i will note this mistake for others in the first post.:agree:
Thank you again!

@jaxa
It's hard to say. There are intentions. For example, type IXC-40. There is also a plan to make type VII (B, C) But the "sevens",kind of promised to release Hans Wittemann. Or not? No desire of developing type VII, until it is known about "sevens" Hans.
______________________________



@ KarabekianKaleun
We do not mind. And who will do it? We won't be. Sorry.

Horrido Wise,

as you started with the type IX Uboats,I personally would be more than happy to see an authentic type IX C/40 sailing across my screen (did I say this before?) :har:,
One like U-190 or U-805, for example.
From my point of view, this will fill the raster of the type IX Uboats.
I could help you with original plans, photos, and even film footage, if needed.

But it´s your Mod, so you are the ones who decide what will be done next.

Anyway, thank you very much for what you´ve done so far, it´s a giant leap ahead for SH III!

@ kurfürst
Were saying! :DAnd about the materials too.:yep:
When it is required, we will undoubtedly ask you for the help. Thanks!
Everything isn't so simple…Type IXC-40-specific model, and she appears in the game near the end of the war. The type VII, on the contrary, appears at the beginning of war, serves on all its extent and is basic model B and C (C41).
We will think.
