[REL] New Units: Flakships and Fishing Boats

iambecomelife · 03-22-08, 12:49 PM

Two AAA ships are now available: one for the British and one for Germany. They are basically converted light freighters of about 1100 GRT. For the British version I wanted to use 4.7 inch guns as the main guns but the game did not recognize them as AA weapons. 3 inch guns have been substituted. The German ship might be a helpful addition in harbors, especially between 1943-45. Each comes with six camoflage skins.

The trawlers are smaller units of about 350-450 tons. The ships I posted pics of earlier were too large, so I shrank them. Three have sails to assist their engines, while one is of a more modern design. They have piles of fish on the foredeck (which tend to fly in the air whenever they take a torpedo hit). If you don't like the fish, let me know and I will get rid of them. Also, can you guys let me know if there are any anomalies with the skins?

These trawlers sink very quickly when torpedoed, but I don't think you'll want to waste a torp on them in practice.

****EDIT - Version 1.1 of trawlers released - also, versions without fish on deck.****

IF YOU ALREADY DOWNLOADED VERSION 1.0 OF THE TRAWLERS, BE SURE TO REPLACE IT WITH 1.1.

With Fish:

Without Fish:

All ships have been tested for CTD's, with none found. Install should be easy. However, please read the readme's included, and back up your englishnames.cfg or germannames.cfg files.

Then I guess I will upload a fish-less version to "clear the air". In the meantime, if you are familiar with Pack3d the readme has instructions on how to get rid of them manually.

Still, you have GOT to see those fish go flying after a torpedo hit. It's pretty funny. (Although tragic for the fishermen).
