12 torpedo tubes

thats going to take some work. Have to ask around if 12 tubes can be implemented ingame.

I was going to add some of the more exotic and advanced subs that I have discovered to the ever growing list I've got. Think I will add the Type XXX to that list.

Lipud U-107 · 02-25-11, 05:40 PM

Typ V 300 ( U 791 ) Walter Turbin

length; 46 m

displacement; 610/655 t

Water drive 2 engines power 330 km (hp)

two types of underwater propulsion: electric power with a total 150 km (hp) and a power turbine Walter 4000 - 4360 km(hp) !!!!!

TYP XVII

Typ XX is sister typ XIV same look, so am dont send foto an info ( if you want am send)

Typ XXII

Foto info Typ XXI & Typ XXII

Typ XXII

Typ XXIV W

Sorry for bad quality foto am send next wnet am meke beter foto.

Sorry folks that it's been 7 months since a last update. Been busy learning modeling techniques and creating aircraft for another game. Also I blame Minecraft for taking several hundred hours of precious modding time away from me.

Anyway i've decided to completely do over the Type XI U-Cruiser from scratch. Converting it from a Type IX didn't achieve the results I was hoping for. Have to do the rudders, diving planes, screws and then the Turm which will be the real hard work as it was never built.

So here's a screenshot, as I know you all love to see screenshots of WIP's even if its a cylinder, a cube and a blueprint of a U-Boat drawn in crayon.

As for the other WIP's they are on hold for the moment at least until the Type XI is being textured and coded.

The Neger, Marder and Hai need a little model tweeking.

The Biber has had some serious faults with it due to using it as a bitch testing model, so it needs another going over with my virtual blowtorch and hammer.

The Type XIV Milk Cow is on hold until Type XI is released.
If I can get the U-Cruiser playable, then it should be a hell of alot easier to get a giant playable floating AA battery, that does nothing but sit out in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean acting as target practice for any Allied ship or plane that happens to come into the vicinity. Which actually sounds like alot of fun now that I come to think about it!

Kapitän Schneider am thin is very good job

Kapitän Schneider · 10-07-11, 06:14 AM

The Eternal struggle, of adding Torpedo tubes to the stern and realisng that the front will always be prettier than the back.

Kapitän Schneider · 10-09-11, 08:39 AM

Another update on progress.

Just need to add a few details to the back and create the conning tower.

Alex · 10-10-11, 04:23 AM

The aft now looks sweet, you've done a very cool work overall, my friend.

What a long boat it would have been.

Alpha Von Burg · 03-06-12, 08:15 AM

I just discovered this thread and I was astonished by this project to add new models and possible new playable models to the game. I can't wait to try out some of your proposals.

But if I can, I'd like to add a u-boat to your list, if you have the time. The type XVIII Walter boat. It's hull design was used for the Type XXI so modeling it shouldn't be a problem. There are just some characteristics that make this boat formidable, for one its under water speed of up to 24 knots. More information and technical details can be found at uboat.net and many other site. I'm not insistent on this but perhaps you could consider it as a later project.

Regardless of whether you accept my request or not, I am looking forward to your progress.

Kapitän Schneider · 03-07-12, 05:55 AM

Ah yes the Type XVIII. Basically a slightly larger Type XXI with enlarged battery capacity. It's on my extended list, should really update my first post. Have to really finish and release my other subs first before I get to this one. If I ever do finish them

No, basically the same size and design (from the outside), with much smaller battery capacity - and Walter turbines instead

I'd still prefer the XXVI W

Kapitän Schneider · 03-12-12, 01:35 PM

Ah yes the Type XXVI-W. Does any coding genius out there know how to implement 10 torpedo tubes?

Dam you JayDee and you demand for one of the most advanced and heavily armed U-Boat's that I have come across in my research.

Not to mention all the different combinations possible for propulsion, when you have
- main electric motor
- "silent" electric motor
- Walter turbine
- main diesel engine
- diesel generator

You can run the boat (surfaced or while snorkeling) with the main diesel engine while using the diesel generator to charge the batteries... Or run the boat with the generator using the "silent" motor as propulsion, while main diesel + main electric motor are charging batteries... Or... Or...
You could even power the boat submerged with the "silent" motor while the Walter turbine charges the batteries via the main electric motor

Endless combinations...

Yeah, it's a nice little boat... Fast, nimble, the best sonar that would have been, packs a good punch with its 10 tubes, "folding" snorkel which was way better than the periscopic one on type XXI... And best of all, not just some fantasy somebody put on a sheet of paper, but actually in production at the end of the war. The soviets built it in the 50ies... That means, a XXVI W rear end with a modified XXI front. Project 617.

Kapitän Schneider · 03-28-12, 06:07 AM

Ok folks I need some help. I'm currently working on the Turm of the Type XI U-Cruiser and now i'm stuck. I've been working from technical details and blueprints but it hasn't given me enough information to finish the Turm.

First of all there is this problem.

I have no idea what the thing circled in green is. At first I thought it was for the antenna, but if it is the housing for the antenna its twice the size! I know the compass among other things should go here, but if anyone knows or wants to have a guess and help me on this please leave a comment. Especially from you experienced Turm moddelers.

Second problem is circled in red. At first this is where I thought the compass went but there are two of them. I do have a blueprint of what is meant to be there but you can barely see it.
Reading from my U-boat book by Eberhard Rossler. Now I know its not rangefinding equipment as thats behind the periscopes. What they are meant to be are Quote: two special periscopes for artillery spotting.
I am a little familliar with Army artillery spotting binoculars, but if you see where they are located on the bridge, they are quite wide apart.
Agian of anyone knows what this is, please leave a comment.

It also says in my book, later the bridge was given a roofed surface-control platform with portholes, similar to those used in Italian and Japanese submarines. I've found barely anything on this, so do any of you know?

Here is the half finished Turm in 3d.

If anyone can point out where what should go that would help me alot. Before you point out where the UZO should go, the Type XI didn't have any, hence the Rangefinder and artillery spotting scopes.

So Information, Help and Advice appreciated please.

Alpha Von Burg · 08-26-12, 09:56 PM

The area in green might just be a quick diagram to indicate the location of the dash-board. The crescent curve would be the wind deflectors while the dotted-lines would be the dash-board underneath. As seen from your first diagram.

http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/albu...pictureid=5841
Italian U-boat docked in Bordeaux.

This could be the roofed conning tower design mentioned in your book. You could just make out the rectangular port holes. It's also rather similar to some Russian subs.

As for the area in red, those might look closer to a pair of tank-artillery periscope. From what I know, some tanks were equipped with duel artillery scopes, not sure why though. However, it make sense to place two artillery periscopes for the U-cruiser considering that it is equipped with two large turrets.

These are just some theories, hope more would come up.
cheers,
