You could also ask somebody right here who has made a thorough study of all facets of WW1 naval combat, including aviation. For instance, you may not be familiar with the interesting fact that the Be.2c you're working on had the observer/gunner in the front cockpit, and his field of fire was limited to arcs of about 45 degrees to either side of the pilots head. It couldn't fire directly aft, and it couldn't fire down at all.

I will be happy to help with that aspect Sir, if you need specific data please PM me or post it here. I have contacts in both the RN, the RAF, the modern KM, and family that flew back then. Happy to lend a shipmate a hand as always.

As a retired college professor who specialized in WWI, I must say that this mod looks spectacular. You guys are doing a great job. I just hope it comes out while I'm still alive (mostly joking :)

Thanks for doing this.

Another great mod, ambitious, but it will never be fully completed or released just like some of the other mods that had been promised. Modders simply have too many RL issues to deal with.

Good things come to those that wait. :03:

Well, I can't guarantee completion but I can do my best! Below are just some of the things that I've worked on in the past weeks. When things go quiet, rest assured that there's lots of hammering and sawing behind the scenes. If I reach the point where I need to "lay up" the mod, I'll say so.

Early screenshots of the "HMS Beagle".

No, it's not Darwin's "Beagle". :doh:

Wolves of the Kaiser:1914-1918 Mod Auf Thema antworten
 

Hallo Ihr Spezialisten, Ihr moddert nun schon seit langer Zeit an diesem Addon. Für viele dauert es nun schon zu lange, bis Ihr fertig werdet, z.B. ich. Ich bin nun 77 Jahre alt und hätte dieses Spiel noch gerne erlebt.
Nun beeilt Euch mal ein bißchen.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Werner Willmann

Hallo. Ich arbeite auf dieser von mir. Ich seit kurzem eine neue Karriere, und manchmal habe ich nicht viel Zeit zu arbeiten. Ich versuche, die mod abgeschlossen Mai 2015, pünktlich zum 100. Jahrestag der "Lusitania". Ich bedauere, dass es eine lange Zeit dauert, aber Beruf und Familie müssen an erster Stelle. Sorry für mein schlechtes Deutsch!

(Any native German speakers, feel free to post a better translation).

ich bin mir nicht ganz sicher wie man sowas in papenburg sieht, aber bei mir gilt so ein post als einigermaßen unhöflich! vollständiges umarbeiten des spiels ist -vorsichtig formuliert- eine intensiv zeit-und nervenstrapazierende mammutaufgabe. vielleicht richten sie ihren dank lieber an die damen und herren von ubisoft, deren krönung bis jetzt nur die x-te auflage des WK II in sachen uboot-simulation war. Dankeschön

Very nice Beagle..those were sure wet boats and you can see why with the smallest freeboard around. But they made it to sea in just amazingly bad conditions, Kippling wrote several fun short stories about life aboard them. Nice work as usual I...keep it up. And we do have faith in the success of this, naysayers beware...we are stoutly supportive and broke no doomsayers :):arrgh!:

FYI, a HUGE UPDATE is coming - those who expect a "dead" mod are going to be quite disappointed! It will focus on Destroyers and other escort craft of WWI. After all, a subsim is not a subsim without an "ocean greyhound" circling above, out for your blood! Worthy adversaries, these destroyer men!!! :D

In addition to escort craft I am working on one of the more interesting features mentioned before: real 3d damage to ships. I found some truly excellent textures on the internet and I can't wait to use them. Forget the standard SH4 ship holes - picture destructible boilers, engines, & shell rooms getting torn open by your weapons. Along with real high-resolution pictures of ships' internal components. Not just generic pieces of metal. Just wanted to let you know I haven't forgotten about this feature, and it's not "pie in the sky". :yep:

Later!

Good to hear sir!

Great news IABL :rock:
