[REL] Playable S-Boot ( Final )

[USS Sea Tiger]

You can see the platforms are just behind the box behing the armored helm

It would be nice if eventually some S-Boote were outfitted with depth charges, but that would necessitate enemy AI subs.

Pack3D imported it, thanks a bunch.

More kills to report:

Heavy damage to a Polish DD (sent her back to slow speed!) second torp missed
Light freightor-2000 some tons; guns only
tramp steamer-around 2000 tons 1 torp.+guns

the 40mm is actually proving to be a very effective merchant ship killer in the early war...

getting. VERY quicky.

(I don't know why I missed news of this in the last couple of days, anyway)

CCIP, you have got to play these things!

Mikhayl and I just played another MP game. It was insane! LOL! At 40 knots don't look in the command room. You will start heaving!

This was an absolutely awesome MP mission with Mikhayl's S-boots. You gotta join us one day!

When's the next MP run? I'm dallying in Second Life right now (made me a full size Type 34 DD ), but I really wanna jump in and see how good I am with an S-Boot.

I can run another now if you, or anyone else, wants. All you need is a clean install of GWX and no other mods enabled except Mikhayl's s-boot 0.1 and generic cam mods.

I'll set it up at 1740 Eastern time.

Does anyone know what the S boot hulls were made of? Wood or iron?

[miner1436]

Found this from wikipedia it seems the S-100 class had 3 shafts.
Engines: Three 20-cylinder 2000 hp Daimler Banz MB501 diesels driving three shafts.

[USS Sea Tiger]

there was a metal frame, but the hull was plywood like ours, with some areas armored.

also as for the lookout,, it is very very rare to see the starboard side aft lookout in his position, the port lookout stayed there though even if under fire

Heh, well that gives me ten minutes to figure out how to do a second install of SHIII...never had multiple copies on the same system, how do I go about making a new install??

Ummm, once you have a secondary clean install of SHIII, you'll also have to run the GWX install on it, too.

Otherwise, if you already have GWX, just roll back SH3Commander (if you use that) then uninstall every mod you've added. That will revert your GWX/SHIII files to 'clean'. Then just create a second folder (for instance, I have /Ubisoft/GWX and /Ubisoft/GWX MP) and copy all the files in the original GWX folder to the new folder.

That will give you two folders, one you can use for your usual GWX play and a secondary just for MP games. Don't forget, if you want to play with the S-boots you'll then have to add the two necessary mods to the multiplayer GWX installation.

Heh, I uninstalled my old copy of SH3 cause I probably screwed up the GWX install so this will save me some headaches later.

Running a career - so far no problems, even got it successfully added to the med

The only problem, I guess, is incompatibility with SH3 commander

Oh, one nitpick about the model - looking from the bridge view, some of the railings on the aft of the boat are invisible or floating in the air. I guess it's cause the model is meant to be viewed from the outside originally.

I tried to PM you CCIP but your box is full. Mikhayl and I are playing some MP missions with the S-boots. Want to join? It's awesome with two, and the more we get it should get even more insane! :p
