Default Tirpitz Voraus!

UPDATE: Download the SH4 Tirpitz here:
http://files.filefront.com/ZWs+Tirpi.../fileinfo.html

My work to eliminate the flicker, which has been reduced to an noticeable degree is done. To totally deal with the flicker problem I believe now
that this would have to be done at a deeper programing level then I am capable of at this time.

This is an AI ship for SH4. Also added a new 1941 color scheme.


Way to go GEROME! thanks yamato1 for informing me of Gerome.
SH4 now has the battleship KM Tirpitz. The model is a creation by Gerome made for SH3.
And is excellent in quality. The texture quality is very good and I am therefore very
impressed with this ship. My work was simply assigning a SH4 '.val' file and editing
this new Tirpitz.val file. To make this AI ship more realistic I also re-worked
additional files to enable the 20Kilometer engagement range. This area I am still
working on, my plan is to increase this to 32.18Kilometers (20miles) engagement range.
This may sound out of scope with the limited German radar but in reality the use of
telescopic range finders were common and reliable for line of sight engagements.
I love to watch battleship action. Especially the underdog German navy, known as the
Kriegsmarine. Who took on the overwhelming forces of the Capitalist and Communist
nations.

Tirpitz on the offensive

She opens fire...

Pressing the attack she fires again.

She shows some hits, but her armor is strong VORAUS!

Oh when I converted GWX ships I had 163 ships :rotfl:

But after the 8 unexplainable appcrash I waved with the white flag.

That is true, but remember that the longest hit ever made on a naval target was when Scharnhorst and Gneisenau sank HMS Glorious. Scharnhorst hit Glorious at a range of 26,465 yards, or about 13 nautical miles. And Scharnhorst definitely had the newest, best fire control equipment.

Wow Sailor Steve, it's obvious you have allot more knowledge on the subject then I do.
I really didn't know that. My motive is not accuracy at the 20 mile range but the
aggressiveness of opening fire at that range. I like the scenario of full steam ahead
into blazing gunfire. And let me mention the awesome effect of the gun flash over the horizon,
its beautiful man!.
