What kind of tankers would you like to see?

iambecomelife · 10-07-2008, 08:37 AM

I am going to be updating the last few slots for oil tankers in my mod, and I was wondering what types of tanker people preferred to see. So don't be shy - let me know what you want to see in your crosshairs! Comments are welcome.

Smaller tankers
Sh3 has more than enough large tonnage ships
Smaller ones are lacking

denis_469 · 10-07-2008, 08:59 AM

I vote for small and medium, but need all tonnage.

Agree.

One or two larger types but a large selection of smaller vessels would be good.

In the books that I am reading at the moment, Hitles U-boat War I-II, C, Blair, the average size of the tankers seems to be around 10,000 tonnes.(N Atlantic).

About 10k for tankers.

If you'd asked about cargo, I'd have voted 1-3k

Sailor Steve · 10-07-2008, 10:11 AM

Of course I want the smaller ones.

SS The Countess - 870 tons!

Couldn't copy this one, but she's 1507 tons.

I have so many names...

Yes lots of low tonnage tankers about in war
Lot low tonnage cargo too

Everyone release mid to big tonnage
rarely a small ship released of any sort

G.K. · 10-07-2008, 11:34 AM

My vote for medium-small, medium and huge ones...

Philipp_Thomsen · 10-07-2008, 03:00 PM

My vote would be for 30k tankers, but since it's not an option, I vote for the huge ones.

I think that TANKERS SHOULD BE HUGE! After all, they're tankers!

Anyway, I don't waste my eels on ships with less then 8k tonnes, so I wouldn't vote for small ships.

Sailor Steve · 10-07-2008, 03:46 PM

PT, you'd be amazed at how many ships I've found in the 1000-tons range that kaleuns actually torpedoed. It seems that in real life a lot of the time they couldn't tell the difference.

Wolfehunter · 10-07-2008, 03:48 PM

I want something super large... Since your asking hehehe.

Big and bad. Loaded and ready for a spread of torpedos to do her in.

meduza · 10-07-2008, 03:51 PM

Large. And slow.

Barrett · 10-07-2008, 04:28 PM
