The books will come in 2 versions

# 1 HAHD TIG (TIG= Technical illustrated Guide) Appr cost not yet set US (29.99)

#2 HAHD TIG VMM (VM=Virtual model museum) US(59.99)

I saw very low quality similar books for 55 $ without any 3d models included on Amazon. But keep in mind that buying these books if you like them will help me for the development of U-boats war and upcoming next generation sims.

The more programmers and artists i can hired, the faster the simulation will get on sim enthusiasts desktop.

HADH TIG will be an technical illustrated guide with unique artwork include in each issue, the book will be perfect for kit modeler's, 3d modeler's, military enthusiasts and collectors and the most important part, it is the best way i found to fund U-boats war, Atlantic operations and my vision is to cover not only U-boats warfare but also AIR and LAND simulations.

Edition VMM will include a high definition 3d model that you will be able to walk around just like in a first person shooter game.

I do have plan for a kickstarter campaign but i found that just asking people money without giving them back something in exchange was like asking them to do gambling. So each donator with a pledge higher than 20$ will receive HAHD TIG issue # 1 free and a discount on U-boats war, Atlantic operations. 5$, 10$ and 15$ pledge will receive a discount on HAHD TIG&HAHD TIG VMM issues + a discount on U-boats war, Atlantic operations.

The first issue sales figure will be a very good test to see how many simulation fans are left on the world wide web and will also give me the cue if i do Issue #2 and so on.

U_BOOT_HAHD will surely be a very nice experience but U-boats war will surpass anything seen in the sim genre.

I will soon be able to show in game screen of U-boats war and i am not working alone on this.

Best regards Hans

Brilliant Hans,

Kickstarter is a brilliant method for achieving this.
I have pledged almost 300 euro on campaigns this month.
Will definitely be pledging for these fantastic works.

Please keep us informed as soon as you Kickstart your Sim.

Because for the stand it is based on U-552 but the binoculars i use there is the watch crew binocular i model last year and it is not a UZO binocular.
Best regards Hans

Hi, Hans.
Yes, this device looks like an ordinary pair of binoculars... but the position of the eyepieces should be a little lower, I think... and taking into account the presence of UZO screen/page in the game, I think on the turm should be U.D.F. 7x50 (UZO)... as on other submarines of this type.
What is the height of turm on your screenshot, IIRC, the height should be 3.5...3.6 meters for Typ7C.

Hi Alex,

OK and thank for the picture i will use it to do slight modifications to match the UZO one and the turm is between 3.5 and 3.6 meters and imagine i just eyeball it to get the exact measurement!

Best regards Hans

Screenshots in post #3350 were what impressed me the most.

Cool stuff Alex. Never seen such good examples of UZO's ever.

Cheers.

[Hans Witteman]

Hi Alex,

Thank for the pictures they are very good and will help me modeling authentic UZO binoculars.

Again for the turm on VIIC i have exatly the height reported in every books and service manual from the Kriegsmarine.

Best regards Hans

Hi, Hans.
E.g. one of the sources: Vom Original zum Modell - Uboottyp VII C.pdf
Reminder... I'm talking about the screenshot "Height Difference" in the post #3342.
In SH3 height of turm shown by you is 3.5...3.6 meters - correct value average.

[barel80]

Can't wait to make new installation of SH3 and spend whole weeks on patrols, till 1945...
There was no reason to begin another, 20th campaign with GWX, but after HAHD - my work can wait, i'm on the patrol now !
Please, inform us, about the progress of Your work.

[desertstriker]

It will be done when it is done. it looks like the type VII is nearly complete if not already done i think that leaves the type IX. i can not remember if the type XXI will be done.

be patient

Hello, Hans!
I very much look forward to your work.
U-Boot-HAHD for hardware requirements.
