The winter mods thread !

Hi ! :Kaleun_Salute:

I would like to make a list of all kind of mods which have something to do with winter, with the proper links for downloading them ! For example the frozen harbours, the winter u-boats' or ships' camo skins, special terrain mods with real snow, winter clothes for the crew, and so on ........

Please post the mods you know, with the author and the link if any !

Thank you !

Nice stuff for a project I wanted to make long ago but lacked the time: Arctic war. I had planned a dedicated mini-campaign in arctic waters 1942-45, eliminating the rest of world traffic, cities, etc but adding high detail traffic, harbors, etc in the Artcic sea around Norway to play from the 11th and 13th flotillas with Luftwaffe cover, occasional support for Tirpitz/Scharhorst raids, etc. These add-ons would have just been brilliantf or it. :up:

Like Hitman I also Started an Arctic Campaign Mod. From Lots of Research. The Arctic Campaign Began to Coincide with Barbarossa, U-boats arriving in July 1941. Norway had not the facilities yet for a refit, repairs were made by support ships refits back in Kiel. here are the locations I added to GWX 3.0 to support U-Boats Operating against the entire length of the PQ Convoys Course, and the Locations U-Boats Operated against Soviet Arctic Shipping as far east as the Kara Sea in the two months a year it was Ice Free. ( which is also the Location of operation Wunderland and Wunderland II )

I beta tested adding Pack Ice, Ice Fields, and Ice Chunks to the Iceberg Models in GWX 3.0 with success. I stopped as work was lost in January 2017 due to a HDD Failure. and anything I had worked on was backed up, but not enough to replace 3 months worth of work. I am still browsing data to see what exists.
Kirkenes was the main forward operating base for U-boats, S-Boats ( withdrawn due to lack of success ) and the 6th Z-Flotilla of German Destroyers, and was the Base they were using to find and attack PQ 5, the most famous U-Boat encounter while operating from Kirkenes was PQ-17. Kirkenes was downgraded to Re-supply only in 1943, with the Formation of 13th U-Flotilla Narvik in March of 1943. This is when the 11th U-Flotilla Headquarters was moved to Bergen. The 11th was nearly destroyed in Black May ( 1943 ) when its Arctic Boats were diverted to The Atlantic Campaign and the U-Boat war changed dramatically as 45 boats were sunk in May 1943 forcing a complete abandonment of the Atlantic Campaign.
Reviewing some of my written notes I found several locations absent that I had lost in the HDD failure, they are important locations after the Petsamo-Kirkenes Offensive, when Finnmark changed hands to the Soviets. I think it is Lysingheit? ( spelling wrong ) the last small harbor north held until wars end. I know U-995 ( museum boat Laboe ) Passed here outbound for her last war patrol in Soviet waters, was a Secret Operation, U-995 still had a deck gun, and no Snorkel and bombarding shore facilities and landing special ops to interrogate locals and gather intel was the Orders they followed, U-995 operating close inshore and waiting till half the batteries were drained to surface and recharge, mission as ordered was successful and U-995 returned to Narvik for a much needed refit and to get her snorkel. At wars end U-995 was still waiting in the que for her snorkel and refit. The snorkel was finally added but after the war.

:k_rofl:

Dat. Files created for Finnmark, No Trees grew there only Reindeer Moss, if those who build Models with Plants know Reindeer Moss as Lichen. So I removed trees, I reduced towns to very small for Norway/Russia, of course the Lighthouse mod would be great for these Lighthouses. Nord Kap is German for North Cape the utmost Peak Land Corner of Norway where Scharnhorst was Sunk. and provided to those that need Landmarks for Navigation.
- Heinasaaret Insel = Island
- Vaiiolahti
- Pummanki These are Finnish Locations occupied by Germans right on the Soviet Front lines and are provided for Surface Support Traffic of the German Landing Crafts I am Building. They are also the sight of Soviet Landings in the Petsamo-Kirkenes Offensive in the summer of 1944 to Support the right flank of the Soviet ground invasion. Therefore a Map Reference for U-Boats operating on the Coastal Front of an Embarkation Line to Hostile Seas East. Matochkin Straight is a undefended Navigable Waterway ( U-boat Shortcut and target for mining operations ) dividing North Novaya-Zemlya and South Novaya-Zemlya The Peninsula dividing the Barents Sea mostly Ice Free due to the Gulf Stream and the Kara Sea Ice Free for two Months every summer and Soviet Ice Breakers would escort small convoys from the North Siberian Passageway stopping over at Port Dikson and continuing through the Kara Straights or Yugor Straights Passed Kanin Noss ( cape ) to Archanglesk. therefore when PQ/QP Conoys Halt there is still convoys east, or single Soviet ships mad dashing to Iceland. Many of my Locations got lost that should be in there. that HDD Failure took the wind ut of my sails and I stopped any Mod/3D modeling for three months in Protest against my Computer. Lastly Polar Port, this is a .dat as a Placemark for future 3D Harbors I need to model. Think 1899 Alaska Gold Rush type Harbors. Unpainted cut Timber Wharves and Piers, Wooden Wharehouses, old time Ore Docks. I planned to ad to the Harbor_Kit.dat suitable models. This was a crazy task for one person to do. That said I have not Played a Campaign since 2016, Every EEL would Miss! if I can Collaborate I Will find time, everything I was working on was based in GWX 3.0 Gold, Locations are probably different for every mega mod. Some Important Locations I lost in HDD Failure. Pummanki is Located on the Srednii Peninsula the Connector to the Rybachii ( Fisher ) Peninsula this is the Eastern Front Lines on the Barents Sea Coast. The Opposing Lines held Titovka an Inlet from Motovskii Bay, next is Kola Bay Entrance to Murmansk and Next is Poliarnyia Naval Base ( Submarines )

mikey117us :Kaleun_Cheers: There is lots of good stuff there, coupled with a properly tuned sky dome for the arctic nights this would be so awesome to have!!!! :Kaleun_Wink:
