[REQ] New Ships Added To Game

cdrsubron7 · 04-08-07, 10:40 PM

What does it require to model new ships for SHIV? The are many Japanese warships which I would like to see in the game. Some of these ships include;

Aircraft Carriers - Akagi, Kaga, Soryu, Shinano

Battleships - Nagato

Heavy Cruisers - Tone class, Myoko class

Light Cruisers - Yubari, Tenryu

What is needed in order start working on something like this? I have access to some drawings of some of these ships and was wondering if they would be of any help to some of you modders?

All welcome, but I think the one Id like done first would be the infamous 'kaibokan' that I was sunk so often by in silent service.

should be ready soon

I would like to see some of the DEs or frigates for Japan. It seems now
there is nothing between the fleet DDs and subchasers to guard convoys....

Yes, Kaibokans are sorely missing - and their lack is also responsible for an obvious excess of fleet destroyers on escort missions, which is entirely not appropriate to the campaign.

Im working on the Nagato conversion to SH4, along with the merchants, the merchants are easy to convert over....having some ready tonight.

AG124 · 04-09-07, 04:01 PM

Nagato conversion? Do you mean that you are either building a new Nagato model or kitbashing one? I don't see how you could convert one from SHIII, as no one ever built a Nagato for SHIII.

Just asking for clarification - it's just a minor point.

As for the merchants, which ones are you going to convert?:hmm: Some are more essential than others, and some are already in the game (albeit slightly improved versions).

jmjohnson36 · 04-09-07, 04:05 PM

No mate...the conversion from kitbashing as you say
The Nagato should be easy to assemble...give me a few days....see if i can show a pic

jmjohnson36 · 04-09-07, 04:06 PM

As for merchants...i was looking at the oilers....which japan needed...any ideas?

CCIP · 04-09-07, 04:08 PM

What Japan really needs is some Sea Trucks (small marus of <1000t) :hmm:

there were some good pictures of these in another thread, wonder if someone could track them down again.

ask "tater"

AG124 · 04-09-07, 05:35 PM

Japan could certainly use some sea trucks and coastal tankers as well - if I could actually run the game, I would be working on these models.

Although I am really busy in RL lately too, so I probably wouldn't have time anyway.

jmjohnson36 · 04-10-07, 01:01 AM

I have the KAga and her sister ready...hope you like it...

tater · 04-10-07, 09:27 AM

Yeah, we do need a sea truck. The steel variety, and the smaller wooden types (150 to ~300 tons. I want to learn how to make ships, actually. Hopefully real life will allow me to do that at some point soon, heheh.
