If you got yourself patched to U-boat missions you could make playable Fuso, Yamato, etc. For Japanese/German side. No I have not been running this with other mods. But if I do get the crash problem fixed I can probably try it with TMO. Because that works with alot of surface ships mods. If you want a more realistic version of USS Nevada or Tennessee you could ask the creator of fall of the rising sun he has some great models for them, even a South Dakota class. And the first version of you're mod worked fine.

thanks karle! I'll see if I can integrate them; I smell historical accuracy not a recycling of one ship model for 4 classes... I do remember there was one class with only two props, but the stock version has four 'cos its a recycled new mexico or something. I'll look into that too.

I just got the Mk 37 Director working on Colorado! This is going to be the most powerful radar you ever used folks I'm going to see if I can get a camera inside because the directors were basically rotating houses with fire controll crews/optical rangefinders inside and radar on top - might take some time so I'll release another version with all the ships equipped with accurate Battleship radar equipment soon, maybe tomorrow.

Keep thinking about missions folks! this has hardly started yet

I am still doing some last minute improvements on the 3D models. The Tennessee, California and West Virginia were all built up to the same silhuett, and I have as such used the same 3D model. The ship you were thinking of is the Nevada class. The two of them had only two screws.

Buy 1.5 it's worth it it will keep U.S. sub campaign all it will do is add another button to the menu that says German Campaign. The menu's background video will be the same the intro will be the same as well.

V0.6 with working Mk 37 directors/Mk 12 Radar for all US ships. Enjoy!

Here is the Mk 37 Director, the Mk 12 radar antennae is the rectangular apparatus on top:



These were gun directors, the eyes of the fire control system on the battleship. There are hatches for optical equipment on the face of the house, and above are the antennae for Mk 12, 22 and 25 radar.

And The reason I've been so slow it that I'm taking AS biology, chemistry, physics, maths and further maths at the same time .

If you want to help folks please start thinking up some mission ideas for BB campaign...? I'm going to take a break from BB to look into the U-boats thing and playable Axis ships for a bit . . . do I gather there aren't enough payable Axis ships? everyone seems to be asking for them atm

Thanks for keeping up interest!

If you are going to start making playable Axis ships, one thing they don't have is a light cruiser, which is kind of a surprise given how well light cruisers seem to work for commerce raiding.

I do find it amazing how I've only ever used SH4 V1.3 and a handful of small single playable-ship mods - maybe its time I downloaded the jap. campaign or TMO...
