Essentials from his Readme:

Converted SH4 ships:

USS BB_Colorado and clone USS BB_Tennessee


Battleship USS Colorado with 8 x 16 inch guns (II), 16 x 5 inch guns (II), various 40 mm and 20 mm AA-guns. 2 catapults with „Kingfisher“ seaplane. Two types of (rear) mast.
Battleship USS Tennessee with 12 x 14 inch guns (III), 8 x 6 inch guns (I), various 40 mm and20 mm AA-guns. 2 catapults with „Kingfisher“ seaplane. Two types of (rear) mast.

New functionality:
I have added two new turrets with catapults and nodes for the seaplane (included in theguns_radars_03.dat, *.sim and *.zon files in folder „Library“). The catapult/seaplane is fixed with the turret and will turn with the turret.
I have also added searchlights and 20 mm AA-guns to the (rear) mast via none-3-D nodes
(Towers_Colorado.dat file in the folder „Library“).
Seite 1 von 3
I have included „my“ version of the seaplane „Kingfisher“ to the folder „Library“.
For full functionality, be sure to use the files included in this mode instead of the SH4 Patch 1.3
files!

Original (basic) guns_radars.dat, *sim and *.zon files for all other SH4 guns used with theese ships and the crew member „Bootsmann3.dat“ are also included.
New skins T01 – T03 based on the original SH4 skin (see T0x) of the USS Colorado.

Salute! Nautilus42,

Great work, your USS ships looks awsome! :up:
I will download them soon.
One question......If I understand well your comments, these ships will replace the original ones in GWX and will appear in the campagne?

Greetings

[bigboywooly]

Only the Nevada will
IF its named exactly the same as the GWX one

The rest of the units wont show until added to the campaign

Hey nautilus42/trainer1942!

Wonderful! Great work! Thanks! :D

Looking pretty good, except for one thing - the Tennessee class were not modernised in the same way as the Colorado class. The only large profile changes to the Maryland and Colorado were the lowering of the aft cage mast, as you have pictured, but the Tennessee class were modernized much more extensively, with their entire superstructure rebuilt along the lines of the South Dakota class. As such, they bore absolutely no resemblance to their early construction or to the modernised Colorado class. Also, the West Virginia of the Colorado class was modernised along these lines.

Your early and late war Colorados, as well as your early war Tennessee look absolutely fine, but I would rethink the late war Tennesse; some more reconstruction would probably improve it greatly.:up: Here is a picture for comparison:

As much as I would like to give you a hand with the 3d work right now, I happen to have other irons in the fire at the moment.:hmm: But the models you have built are , as you said, 'fictional' (or not exact in regards to RL, which is OK) and a Tennessee with a Colorado profile is better than no Tennessee at all.:huh:

:up:

What do you mean by "wont show up untill added to the coampaign"?

Thanks!

All ships are scripted to show ingame

If the ship isnt either scripted on the SCR or added to a random group in the RND it wont show

I dont think there are any entries for US BB that are generic - by that I mean the game is told just to pick a type=11 with no class name specified

lol

example

[RndGroup 156.RndUnit 17]
Type=11 <-----Battleship entry
Origin=British <---Roster to get the battleship from
Side=0
CargoExt=-1
CargoInt=-1
CfgDate=19390101
No=1
Escort=false
SpawnProbability=50
CrewRating=2

[RndGroup 1512.RndUnit 3]
Class=BBNelson < -----Class of ship to be chosen from the type= below
Type=11 <-------- battleship called for
Origin=British <----Roster to get the unit from
Side=0
CargoExt=-1
CargoInt=-1
CfgDate=19390101
No=1
Escort=false
SpawnProbability=100
CrewRating=2

The first example is a generic entry where any battleship in the British roster can be picked
The second actually names the class the game has to show

As I said I dont think there are any generic entries for US battleships as up until now has only been the NevadaA and Iowa
And the Iowa was very limited in its Atlantic cruises

Hi AG124,

thx for your tipps /USS Tenneesse. Will see what i can do. UBI has shown a new way to link the mast - so why not do it in the same way with the complete bridge/superstrukture?

I will experminet in that.
