I'm humbled! Thank you for the compliment. Actually the music was a huge struggle (I kept getting the movie dialogue breaking thru) and by the time I resolved the problems I was exhausted! I didn't give much thought to the music choice but now I see how it fits the last desperate moments.

Wolves of the Kaiser now has a home on Youtube! The channel is known as Neptune Naval Mods. Check it out often, because it will showcase our work as we re-create World War One Europe - seacraft and all!

Thanks! That's a good start. A lot of cargo ships were named after places or animals...The following could also be useful:

-A long list of towns, villages, castles, etc in European countries
-A list of animals in foreign languages (perhaps I can do this myself with a web translator)
-A list of national heroes/royalty for France, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Belgium, Russia, Holland, Italy, etc....

Any subsim members feel free to contribute likely cargo ship names!

I will be using 3d "decals" on ships instead of "painting" the names on in a TGA file - I first tried this with the "Lusitania" and it gave very good results. Giving ships names and home ports on their hulls will be very simple.

With the same principle, I can add pennant numbers to destroyers....

Does anyone have some good reference images of the Indefatigable? All I have found are from a distance & the detail of the superstructure is lost.

[Abraham2000]

I've found this from hms australia

[Delta_Strife]

Here are a few more images of the Indefatigable Class if you need pictures of the changes they made to the masts by 1919 let me know.

[iambecomelife]

Great job, Longknife! Here are some pictures of the "Indefatigable", plus her much luckier sisters. Just download and unzip. All of the model pictures are of "Australia". The picture with the mountain in the background is "New Zealand". You'll notice minor differences but of course they were very similar ships.

Good old "Indy", some years before her loss. She still has her torpedo net booms. Today she's unrecognizable, as salvagers stripped her for scrap metal...quite thoughtless in my opinion; there are 1,000 men resting with her:





Abraham2000, Thank you for the convoy listing....these can be added to the campaign layers when I do them.

[Longknife]

Thanks guys!

This should be all I need to complete a very accurate rendition of the Indefatigable.

IABL I'm preparing an Adriatic and Mediterranean seas' map, would you want them?
