Here's a picture of the mod, along with some improved skins for the figures. Racerboy's mod only has bodies right now, and not lifeboats or rafts. It's still quite interesting, since there are a large number of different uniforms & types of crewmen.

RB said that after 2.1 came out he'd make his mod GWX compatible. Many of us are holding our breath...

I used this mod before, IMHO the bodies and debris are too much. For a Large merchant, there always several hundreds of bodies and debris. Maybe trim down a little bit would be better. just my two cents.

You should download the latest version. Racerboy finally figured out what was producing the excessive numbers of bodies. Now, there are usually just several dozen bodies for cargo ships.

The interesting thing is, since larger warships have more explosive compartments there are more events producing the corpse effects - hence with the latest version, when a battleship sinks you can get many dozens, perhaps hundreds of figures, as would have been the case in actuality.

I just conducted a test on a fishing trawler...there were between 35-40 bodies ejected when she sank. Slightly large for a trawler crew, but not impossible.
