[REL] Kriegsmarine - HSK 5 Pinguin auxiliary cruiser - 2023 edition

[VonDos]

Hi everyone,

i'm glad to release this new mod; HSK Pinguin auxiliary cruiser - commerce raider



D\L link: https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/dow...o=file&id=6390







This is the twenty-first of a serie of units for Kriegsmarine, reworked in collaboration with flush deck.

Pack include a multiskin unit based on Pinguin auxiliary cruiser (sperrbrecher disguised as dutch troop transport, disguised as Kassos greek merchant, and disguised as a british merchant).



Based on SHV german auxiliary cruiser model, 3d reworked and updated using SHV model and parts and a lot of details (portholes, stairs, cables, lifeboats, glass windows\interiors, turning rangefinders...).

Great work here as per usual

Awesome model VonDos!
But… I think I will not add it to my NYGM, because unfortunately if we respect his historical travel, we have great chance to never see it…
Anyway looks very good

Awesome VonDos! Could I add it as "merchant", not scripted?

Many thanks for the work.

Thank you for your kind words!! Sure, fell free to use or not her. In my installation, i've used her to replace the generic GeAuxCruiser. But you're absolutely right about Pinguin lifespan =)

Thank you for your words!
As a type 13 unit, auxiliary cruiser, this ship is used by sh3 as a military unit, so script is required. You can use it as "merchant" civil ship, changing the unit type from 13 to 102, in her cfg file and into roster file too. The ship will be moved from Kriegsmarine to german merchant fleet.


Best regards everyone!!
