Just a quick note to let you know I downloaded and started reading this summer the e-books you linked. Top notch, really getting in the mood now

I' m very looking forward this mod i would like to ask when do you suppose the mod will be finished?
Thanks
( I hope you understand me)

Perhaps the 100 year anniversary of the Armistice of 11 November 1918 but time will tell. Been following this mod also and Iambecomelife has made some great revelations and contributions to the SH 4 modding community. Rendering , modeling, characters, and also the scenario of a totally different time period.

Iambecomelife I salute the work you are doing and it is brilliant I am anxious for the release but not wanting to rush the creator to push something out he is not ready or happy with to the final release for testing and final release to the public.

Looking awesome

I'm very anxious for the release as well, but patience is the highest virtue. The longer the development takes, the better the release will be. And since it looks so fantastic already, this mod will certainly be a masterpiece when it's done.

Guys, I want to thank you for your support and continued interest. All I can say is, things are going great and I am preparing for the Fall 2017 update.

Literally everything I have been trying recently has worked. There are new particle effects, new lifeboats, new survivors, and new crewmen on ships.

********************DAMAGE EFFECTS*********************

Remember the coal carrier? That's the testbed for Dynamic Ship Destruction. Virtually her whole hull gets smashed with holes when you shell her. No lousy damage decals. No random holing like SH4....aim at a point with your deck gun and watch the hull plates disintegrate. There are literally 30-40 different shell holes you can create.

Shell holes are "children" of the bow/stern section for proper display if the ship breaks up.

Hatch covers and crates get blasted off, as promised.

The first group of crew on deck abandoning ship has been added. About 15-20 survivor groups have been made for merchant sailors - next will be soldiers and civilians.

Lifeboat lowering procedure is around the corner (some limitations, but it will be there!)

Remember the boilers I made? I gave them real steam leaks, getting worse the more you shell them.

Lube oil tanks? Real items now, that leak oil when shells/torpedoes cause a rupture.

DSD/Dynamic Ship Destruction will be the standard for merchant shipping in WOTK. When I first promised these features, I felt confident I could deliver them, and I was right.

*****************PRIZE WARFARE*******************

About 80% of trade goods pop-up screens for prize warfare have been created.

********************THE SUBMARINES*******************

special thank you to Ducimus, if he still is around. I finally managed to add new crew to the interior, with his tutorial:

He made it easy! I watched "Das Boot" for the first time this month, and it is simply incredible how claustrophobic WWI/WWII submarines were. Now I can replicate that!

**********************************************

As I may have mentioned before, WOTK video #2 (on the "Aboukir/Cressy/Hogue") has been cancelled, but I think it was a wise decision. More time towards the final product, and less time on advertising. My "Lusitania" video took a vast amount of preparation, and I'm not sure it's wise to get bogged down like that again.

iambecomelife, if you want any help producing a small video, let me know. I could take any raw video / photos / sound that you send, and follow your idea for a timeline, send you a preview for your approval / disapproval...

This just keeps getting better and better

Kapitain Oliver Leinkraunt · 10-07-17, 05:29 AM

Are there any news?

Xall · 10-25-17, 05:30 AM

This looks so promising.
WW1 Submarines, going to be so much fun to explore and test. I think crush depth is like at 70 meters?!

SwissSubCommander · 10-28-17, 09:05 AM

If youre going to add a british campaign, is there any chance you will add the infamous k-class steam powered subs?

Faith · 11-04-17, 10:10 AM

The quality of this mod will be off the charts!

Hovever, please don't be too demanding of yourself, IABL. We love playing with the creation of modders, but we don't want them running on fumes on release.

Perseus1990 · 11-15-17, 02:50 PM

I hope the u boats are made within interiors.
