Hey IABL, I don't know a lot about World War I, but one thing that I do know is that the Ottoman Empire was part of the Central Powers. Are u going to include any Ottoman ships?

Expect to see the Goeben and Breslau. There will also be generic Ottoman trawlers and patrol boats, but there's not enough time to make dozens of unique units for them (unless someone volunteers).

[Kapitain Oliver Leinkraunt]

Ok Leadtail I'll see what can I do.
IABL I found these three ottoman warschips of the "Osmanlı Donanması":

Samsun class TB

Abdul-Hamide class light cruiser( the class of the cruiser Mediciye)

Muavenet-i Milliye (ex german s-165 class destroyer)

[leadtail]

iambecomelife, question for ya. For the French ships what sailors do you want me to put in the eqp file and gun files? Right now I have US on the guns and Japan on the ships (I used the Kongo as the copied ship so they where already called out). I assume you are re-texturing the sailor uniforms to look like WWI sailors so let me know which ones you are doing for allied ships and I will have those called out in the eqp. files for easy insertion into your mod.

PS. the Danton Class is about 99% done now too! I'll update my thread later today. Another down many more to go! haha

[Kapitain Oliver Leinkraunt]

IABL would you want to add a bulgarian and german camaign in Black Sea with the sub "Podovnik No 18"(ex UB-8) and the german subs of the Costantinople Flottilla ? For the bulgarian navy the most of the ships are just ready because in the Dragon's mod Soviet Waterway there are a lot of ww1 bulgrian ships, for example:

Drazki class TB

Dokuzanv class sub-chaser
Only the cruiser-minelayer Nadezhda is not ready yet

sorry for my bad english
Can you release a playable submarines list?

I will post a list of playable subs when I get home from work today.

Also look out for the following:

-Updates to the "Lusitania" (model is about 90% complete)
-Updates to the model of U-19 class sub U-20, which sank "Lusitania"

For a Bulgarian campaign, I would need a lot of help with the details, because that's not my area of expertise.

Leadtail, try using stock Japanese sailors for the ships - I have reskinned the Japanese figures to represent European sailors.

[Kapitain Oliver Leinkraunt]

Ok thanks IABL

[GalvaThunder]

is this mod out yet

[Sailor Steve]

No, and it's been under construction for six years. It's basically a one-man operation, and he wants it to be right, so it may be a few more before it's ready.

More modifications: changes to the stern are going well.

Brand new funnels, which are different from one another: you can see Funnel no. 1 has a small support platform,
with whistles. Funnel no. 4 has differences to the steam pipes...noticed this in one of Ken Marschall's "Lusitania" paintings.

Ventilators and deckhouses were renovated: I added struts to the interior of the cowl vents next to the bridge.

All lifeboats are destructible! Collapsibles and the spare wooden boats on the 2nd Class deckhouse are not in place.

The propeller layout has been corrected, from one prop (like the parent unit) to four, with four blades. AFAIK "Lusitania"
had her three bladed propellers removed and replaced before 1915.

Lusitania's wheelhouse and upper decks have been given railings. Using cubes with an alpha channel is
very convincing (and much easier) than adding "real" railings.

The transparent windows have been removed because they were not all that noticeable or impressive, actually.

Note the partially camouflaged skin with an alpha channel.

Added the stern name: I learned from Kenneth Layton's book "Lusitania: an Illustrated Biography" that the name was NOT painted
out on her last voyage: contrary to popular belief. The 1915 version of the model will have neither the Cunard house flag nor the
British flag...that was, indeed, one camouflage measure that WAS taken...










U-20 model I skinned....this is an older model I had given up as unsalvageable due to skinning problems,
but the process went surprisingly well. Still not sure I will use it, because it is somewhat low poly and
needs corrections. Does anyone know if the gun was in front of or behind the Conning Tower in 1915?


As for the sub list, one possibility is below:

U-9 Class
UB-I Class
U-19 Class
U-31 Class
U-51 Class
U-66 Class
U-81 Class
U-139 Class (U-Cruiser)

[Kapitain Oliver Leinkraunt]

would you want to add the UB-2 class, UB-3 class, U-63 class, U-93 class, U-151 class and UA class for the Training Flottilla?
for the U-20 the deck gun was in front of the Conning Tower in 1915.

UA class

Looks awesome!
