[REL] Iowa Class battleship

[the_frog]

Hello, happy New Year!

Gerome73 created a first version of Iowa Class some years ago, then Ubisoft had its own, shipped with SH4. The SH4 model, though more detailed, was not fully accurate, especially deck levels were rather wild.

So, I converted, re-worked and re-textured the SH4 model, added missing parts, nodes and controllers, painted new skins, and blabla ...

... the result:

Looks gorgeous!

I have found two issues with GWX3 Iowa Class:
1°.- It has only 8 2x127mm turrets and not 10. Must have been some faulty installation, though; I haven't played in a while.
2°.- I think its damage model is flawed, I remember making a single mission (after reading a fictional story) of an engagement between Iowa and Tirpitz in the Arctic, and Iowa sunk after receiving 2-3 salvos from Tirpitz. It happened twice. Again, I haven't played in a while.
I hope these issues are solved.

Salute! the_frog

Just downloaded your "NBB Iowa" it looks very very good!

I would like to ask one question if I may...Please do not laugh cause I really had a complete blank ....

What to I do with the "Ship names BBIowa" (.cfg) file that is included?

Thank you so much for your help!

PS shhh! Do not tell any one I asked this....

Hello borgneface!

Seems like I omitted the respective sentence from the documentation sheet:

"There is a text file with information to be added to the Ship name.cfg file of the SH3 Commander."

In case you use the SH3 Commander, place the content of the file into the file "Ship names.cfg" (using a text editor), which is in the SH3 Commander\cfg folder. Then a proper name will show up in the log whenever you sink her.

Do you have the same version for SH IV?

[VONHARRIS]

Thank you the Frog.
An exellent ship.

Snow-Leopard, I made no version for SH4 but yamatoforever/molke2005 may do that one day.
