That is very sharp looking there Spook!

Back OT: I don't have any screen shots but I did send copies of my 3d models of the Heroj class coastal sub and the Mala SDV to Molon Labe.

Currently I'm working on the Italian MG110 Midget sub which is used by Pakistan and South Korea.

Now I'm running out of midget subs to make! I plan on making the DPRK Sang-O and a Cuban midget that has cropped up in the form of a single tiny picture on the net. After that there is not many more midgets from the post WWII period. There is a few X Craft and the USS X-1 but those were both retired long before the 1st playable unit in DW was built so it doesn't make much sense to add them in. If someone knows of any feel free to post a message (images would be great)

This might be best split to another thread (do so if need be), but I was wondering if any late WWII era subs might be worthy of inclusion into DW. The idea or "precedent" for this, if you can call it that, was some stories years ago that drug cartels were interested in acquiring them. That also reminds me of the current narco subs (semi subs) that are being used right now. They are comparable to the midgets in size, and would be great in drug enforcement missions.

Finally, while it's been out for a while, the recent coverage of the M80 Stiletto had me dreaming of seeing it in DW too. It's also meant for use against the drug trade. Perhaps their behavior could be based on the stock hovercraft?

Some links:

I do have models of the US Navy's Guppy class SS(K/G) which maybe included in the future.

Anybody updating the Chinese surface and sub Fleet? New models that is of 093, 094, Type 052C, type 051, etc. So far the new Song model and Kilo models look great. You guys do excellent work.

That would be great! The conning towers are a bit higher than the WWII subs I was thinking of, but I suppose it's more reasonable to believe these could survive for use today. I hope you, or some of the other fine modelers here, consider the Stiletto and Littoral ships as well. They would be nice additions for the current pirate/drug era.

Here is an updated render of all the stuff I've send to ML for the LWAMI mod to date (with the exception of the Halifax FFG which I'm still working on)



And here is a couple of upclose renders of the Iranians new Qeesem class boat:

Some of these models I've been working on on and off for two or three years, but all the midget and small subs I've completed in the past month. I guess its all a question of motavation.

Not yet.

I have so many models it was getting hard to render them in one image so I've been forced to make two.

@Theta Sigma if you liked that Guppy, Zulu and the Seawolf just check out some of these new additions:

Ok TLAM. Ehm...there's just one more thing...: I dowloaded from your own section on Commanders Academy your new 3D models: the Turya, the Kotlin, the Riga, the Lama, the Zulu, the Song and the Whiskey... Well of them only the Riga succeeded to the addition on the 3d.grp file. The others cause a crash of the DwEdit when I go to introduce their filenames (just verified they're correct) in the proper fields on the j3d viewer... When I accept the modification by double-clicking up the drop-down list's corresponding name, the program crashes... Verified up the Kotlin, Lama, Turya, Zulu, Whiskey and Zulu new 3D models of yours...
Of the Lama I personally exported the j3d from my 3d studio max...but it fails...

Why that? Too many polys or else?
