[REL] LCI(L)

Hello,

here is a common amphibious vessel, the Landing Craft Infantry (Large). The model represents the early series as used by the British and Canadians, with low rectangular bridge. The bridge of the respective US version was one deck higher.
Nevertheless, the first four textures represent US measures; the other textures (T05 to T16) represent Royal Navy patterns, with numbers following roughly the time line of use.

There's no infantry on deck; so, just imagine those guys staying under deck while at sea

Lovely, as always.

Very nice!

If I want to add the ship in campaign - scripting it - where are the areas and times for these ships? Crossing Atlantic? D- Day?

Many thanks and best regards.

fitzcarraldo,

the LCI(L)s were capable of travelling 4000 nm at 12 kn. They crossed the Atlantic on own power, in larger groups (flotilla size). I have no information on the typical number of crafts in one flotilla. Also, I cannot tell the routes used and what escorts covered the crossings.

LCI(L)s entered serivice in 1942/early 1943. They were heavily used in the Mediterranean Theater (including Adriatic and Aegean Sea) throughout 1943 to 1945, formed the mass of the 2nd wave on D-Day, and were active during the Schelde operations. In many amphibious operations, they were also part of the 1st wave (including D-Day).

That's all I can tell.

Many thanks! I will make some convoys with these ships crossing the Atlantic. With escorts.

Best regards.
