[WIP] Playable YAMATO !

So, let's begin the adventure !

What is ready so far (just about the unit) :

The Steel Dragon of the Sea

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

UPDATES :

Next goals (w. i. p.) :

- to correct the appearance (size and shape) of the 5inch AA guns.
- (if possible, i need the 3D models) to add new detailed crew (officers) on the bridges.
- to add navigation devices.
- to check the navigation behaviour of the ship (acceleration, turn).
- to add an "iron sight" with a strong zoom, some marks to help for accurate fire depending on speed/distance of the target, and a high distance scale (30 km) for the playable 18inch gun.
- (if possible) to improve the forward hull aspect with detailed plans (not easy to do, I would need some sections plans).

- to create some single and multiplayer missions with this playable Yamato of course !

There is already a playable Bismarck-class battleship in WSM v3.0.

Thank you for the answer.

Is it possible to add a new submarine type, instead of replacing one of the existing submarines by the Yamato ?

[itadriver]

No. yamato will be a ixd2

But do you think it is possible ?

What would be cool is a Typhoon:

Hi itadriver.

Last tweaks about guns' placements and guns' 3D models finished. All verifications done.

Check your PMs. I let this baby into your hands. Take care about her, she has needed a lot of work from me.

Good luck !

Isn't this the yamato model from IJNWSM2.0 for silent hunter 3? it's a rare mod with playable japanese ships. It can't be found but i still have it downloaded if anyone want models from it, there nice.

This is the command room. You can see it in the film :

I would prefer all the lookouts on the bridge, like this :

 

About the guns' interface, I don't know if it wouldn't be better to give access to manual (player) fire only for the AA guns, as it will be difficult to fire on targets that are + 25 km away without the help of range finders ...

Really ? Yes, I would like to try this mod ! Even if I'm pretty sure that the Yamato is not as good as mine ! Maybe I'm wrong ?
