I've been traveling and was happy to see new progress when I looked here.

Am I right in thinking that WW1 torpedoes were fired without any gyro-angle (i.e. straight ahead)? That would make life very interesting. Any idea when this mod will be available?

I could be wrong but i believe they do have a Gyro angle. That was implemented very early in the development of Torps to make it a more effective weapon caus moving the entire boat is slow and unwieldy. The Mk 10 at least has Gyro angles.

Some very early models had no gyro angle but most German torpedoes were capable of a maximum 90 degree deviation from the sub's base course.

British torpedoes were inferior and may not have had this capability, but I'm not sure.

Regarding completion, expect at least another year and a half of development, during which time the mod may be moved to Silent Hunter 5 (depending on how moddable that game turns out to be). Sit back and get yourself some popcorn or coffee in the meantime.

Potential menu and/or startup screens for the mod - of course, subject to change.

I don't think that you'll have to worry much about that in that kind of time frame.

The first German torpedoes with gyro-angle settings came out in 1907.

I could find nothing about the British, but the site claims that the Americans built the first gyro-controlled torpedo ever, in 1890.

Hi guys; any photographs or paintings of the following would be appreciated:

-Kaiser Wilhelm at a Naval review
-A Kaiserliche Marine awards ceremony
-Kaiser Wilhelm personally decorating Kaiserliche Marine sailors
-Another suitably eminent person (Tirpitz, Scheer) speaking to or awarding naval officers

After all, it would be a little awkward to have WWII officers handing out goodies to your brave crew if/when you come home...

Kongo Otto · 11-15-10, 09:36 PM

Hi IABL, just have these, maybe the are from use for you.

Last Picture shows Wilhelm II with Admiral von Tirpitz and Admiral Henning von Holzendorff on Board S.M.S Hohenzollern

Kongo Otto · 11-15-10, 09:51 PM

Found another one, not what you have asked for, but on topic.

Shows the sinking of Freighter Parkgate by U-35 (April 1917)

iambecomelife · 11-20-10, 03:35 PM

Thank you for the photographs. I actually downloaded the same picture of the cargo ship sinking a few months ago; it is being used in the main menu picture montage.
