[MOD IDEA]KM Schleswig-Holstein

[Hunter]

I've just niticed that German pre-war ironclads like KM Schleswig-Holstein looks rather similar to rarely used Greek BC Averov presented in GWX. It would be nice if somebode would add her to German Roster and edit campaign to add her to German operations, traffic and harbours. New unit with edited 3d model wouyld be awesome!

Before (http://www.kaisersbunker.com/pommern/karten/sh2.jpg) upgrade

Anyone interested?

[Letum]

Lovely photos. Those ships are so iconic....almost punk.

[Herr_Pete]

I would actualy love to see that ship in the game. Would be good fun. Saldy i cant create such things! but im sure some of the very talented modders out there would like to give it a try:up:

[lutzow]

Yes - the old ships rocks like hell.

Fire from guns of this ship above starts World War II.
Do you believe - Schleswig shots at Westerplatte - just 2km from my house.

Nice idea, but how they [old pazerschiffs] can act in SH3 ?
In museum?

In museum? Not at All they were in active service throught WW2 and they would be a nice eye candy at harbours and costal convoys and task groups. And the first operation of WW2 would be much greater along with her.

Ok Hunter - i'm sorry for my doubts;) - You have right.:yep:
Truly - i don't know so much about those old iron dukes...
You have my full support for this mod. :up:

[Hunter]

You have my full support for this mod. :up:
Actually, I am just offering the idea since I am not experienced with 3d modelling. If someone would like to make her I could help with hex editing.

Do you believe - Schleswig shots at Westerplatte - just 2km from my house.AFAIK, that was the very first starting signal for WWII.

Correct.. we also wanted to make a SH model into WAC3.0 because we rebuilt the whole Westernplatte and the start actions of ww2, but unfortunately we had no 3D modeller for ships. :damn:
Have a look at our campaign screenshots from "Fall Weiß" at our homepage ;)

[USS Sea Tiger]

Hi, should anyone have a good set of plans and a sheer of her hull I could see what I could do to make the model an such

[Hunter]

It would be realy great Sea Tiger. Unfortunately, I can find any blueprints of this ship, but may be this paper model http://nguest130.depositfiles.com/auth-521218216138_92.100.4.199-064c93df-190179228-guest/5849838/FS130-1/_GPM_019__-_SMS_Schleswig_Holstein.rar and these pics may help.

[USS Sea Tiger]

Ill take a crack at it It will take two to three weeks,, I am still hard at work on my wwi mod and I ll build her as per 1916 if that is OK.

[Reise]

Nice effort :up:
But looked a lot different in 39
Still it will be a start point :hmm:

Not very impressed with the ingame screenshot of the Averof in the first post.....some bugga forgot to disable the fps and even left the cursor mid screen :nope:

[Hunter]

I am linking Auk Class idea here too. It doesn't requires as much work as Schleswig-Holtschtein. And it is much easy to follow both topics in oe thread.

Well, I am looking for a 3d moder who would like help me to make a new unit. Look at these two ships below:

The first one is PCE class or Trawler as it is prsented in vaniala SHIII

http://www.timawa.net/images/pn/pce.gif

Displacement: 640 tons standard, 914 tons full load
Length: 184.5 ft (56.3 m)
Speed: 15 knots
Range: 6,600 mi. at 11 knots
Crew: 8 officers + 77 enlisted
Armament:
1-US 76mm/50
2 to 6-Bofors 40mm/56 (single or 1-3 twin)
2-Oerlikon 20mm
1-Hedgehog Mk10 AS/mortar
Depth charge rack


Another US escorter is Auk class:

http://www.timawa.net/images/pn/rizal.gif

http://www.timawa.net/images/pn/brp70.jpg

Displacement: 1090 tons standard, 1250 tons full load
Length: 221.2 ft (67.4 m)
Speed: 18 knots
Range: 5,700 mi. at 15 knots
Crew: 5 officers + 75 enlisted
Armament:
2-US 76mm/50 Mk26
2-twin Bofors 40mm/56
4-Oerlikon 20mm
1-Hedgehog Mk10 A/S mortar
Depth charge rack


You can see that the only difference between them is their lenghth Auk iclass is 11 meters longer. Thus a new unit can be achieved just by adding a section of the proper size. I could change the model by myself, but I will hardly coupe with wakes, rudder mirror etc.
