Hey iambecomelife ,I've only recently stumbled upon your work and I've got to say it looks really promising. It may reach GWX level quality and honestly, I hope it does.

So I was searching for plans of the Vosper MTB ,out of which to make a 3d model and I came across a series of plans published on the Modelarstwo polish naval modeling magazine ,uploaded online in PDF form. I saw a number of WW1 period ships in there ,but what really caught my attention was that model of the Deutschland submarine ,which featured some nice bulkhead data (11 sections of the sub ,with the according locations along the length of the sub marked) and immidiately thought of WotK.

Here's the link to the entire PDF file : http://www.modelarstwookretowe.pl/download/Plans.pdf

I'm sorry ,but you'll have to do quite some scrolling to find whatever may interest you in there. I actually don't really know if these help at all ,as you may already have better info ,but I thought they could ,so why not give you a heads up?

Keep up the good work and my wishes that progress on the mod goes butter smooth!

Are there any news?

Something special just for you Oliver! Lol.. Remember you wanted the U-63 class but I wasn't going to include it? As mentioned a few days ago,
I've changed my mind and that has been my project this week. I will be posting screenshots later. I have no photos of this class unfortunately although I do have very good plans so please share if you have them....Also this weekend I worked on a database of SOS messages for sinking ships, to be played in campaign mode.....I have over 130 unique distress calls with many many more to come!
! Plus there will be war news, intelligence, wireless when survivors or wrecks are found, etc. Lastly, I want to say there WILL be a Silent Hunter 4 version of the mod, so if anyone dislikes SH3 plz do not worry!!!! At work now...More news when I get home!

A few hours work after trashing the original model. Very very early stages. Sadly, no one seems to have a good vent hole profile for this class! I strongly suspect some of the pictures by artists of this class involve much guesswork.

After complaints about the conning tower details, etc on my models, I have decided to give most classes a going-over, with more realistic looking railings, maintenance doors, & grates on each CT. I am looking at the SH5 conning towers for inspiration with my own modeling (although I'm sort of learning as I go along, as an amateur!!)

Looking great!!

Is there a release date for this mod? Or even better a download link?

I love this submarine
I'm so sorry, but in internet there aren't any photos of this type of submarine; I'm searching in books but it seems that there aren't any photo of this sub

It's a reinvention! Can't wait to see the finished product. But of course I will because it will be worth it!

Thanks!

@coyote: This mod is not yet finished but the download link will be posted here when it is.

After getting some constructive criticism about the conning tower detail level of old submarines, I am spending more time on the U-63; I will also revamp existing subs like U-31. Because the player spends so much time in the conning tower, a high detail level is important. I plan to have more rivets and vents, etc be actual 3d components, instead of "painted on" in the TGA/DDS files.

I've also been teaching myself campaign date/location modeling so that the right subs are assigned to the right flotillas. All very self explanatory & easy.
