[Ivan Putski]

A real beauty VonDos, thanks for all your hard work. Puts:up:

[Cohaagen]

That was about two/three days from inspiration to release - fastest build schedule ever?

Very, very impressive, Von Dos. I said no one could/would do it and I have been forced to eat my words.

Tante Grazie, grande artiste!

[GoldenEagle8]

WHOA! Thats a really cool battlewagon there!:rock:

Great Job!:up:

[Yorktown_Class]

WOW,great work as always..THANKS A MILLION:up:

[KptLt Lindemann]

Thanks VonDos! I take it she needs to be scripted in the campaign?

[jpm1]

nice mod

[VonDos]

Thanks VonDos! I take it she needs to be scripted in the campaign?

She's a standard english BB, so she'll spawned randomly in convoys and task forces; btw, scripted is better ^_^


Thanks everyone!

[Reece]

Thanks VonDos, downloading now!:up:

[Cohaagen]

Just a veeeery small point that needs modification: in the NBB_Warspite_en.log museum file, it should read '8 x 6" guns' and '4 x octuple 2pdr pompom'.

Apart from that, everything is perfect. I've installed and am going to fire 'er up just now. Dead excited - can't wait!

Trivia Postscript: incidentally, when the 6" guns were removed, the armour saved from them was used as extra deck armour and plated over the engine area. As I recall, this was performed in theatre during Warspite's time in the Med, WWII.

[Hitman]

Yay another beautiful target for my mediterranean campaigns :D

Excellent work as always VonDos :yep:

[yamatoforever]

:up: Wow! Thanks!

[Reece]

Thanks Cohaagen, I edited my file!:up:

[Sailor Steve]

:rotfl: on me! When I looked at the first picture I thought the deck was bent the wrong way! I looked closer, and it was an optical effect produced by the camoflage and the armor bulge below. Or just my old eyes playing tricks again!:rotfl: Actually it looks that way in the photograph, too.

Outstanding job, mate!:rock: :sunny:

[Jimbuna]

Very well done VD. I responded to your PM......and your welcome mate http://www.psionguild.org/forums/images/smilies/wolfsmilies/thumbsup.gif

[geosub1978]

A three year quest finally ended!:smug:

Thank you!

[Metus]

A real beauty VonDos ! :up:

And perfect timing 'cause the next (game)month I'll take part in the battle of Narvik and of course want to see your Warspite there.

Can anyone point out how I can implement it into the GWX campaign? I tried to take a look with the Mission Editor but got lost in thousands of ships :oops:
Thx in advance

[Madox58]

To place it properly in the Campaign files in a Historic way?
You'd need to edit them.

[rod_oil]

Excellent work as ever VD! :rock: I hope Ill see Warspite soon... in Davy Jones locker!!!:arrgh!:

[Metus]

Yes, is it hard to do? I am no modder, but tweaked around a bit..

Forgot which BB type is used in GWX (campaign) in Operation Weserübung instead of the Queen Elizabeth-class, but now that we have it, wouldn't it be cool to see it entering the fjord?

btw I love GWX - extraordinary work :up:

Go into the mission editor and open the campaign_rnd.

Identify the time and place and replace ship for ship.

Can be a PITA but well worth it if you do it right.

[Wreford-Brown]

Awesome piece of work, VonDos. Thank you.

[Metus]

Thanks Jimbuna,

I just wanted to see the ship in the second Narvik battle; so changed only one line in campaign_scr :
[Group 353.Unit 1]
Name=HMS Warspite
Class=BBNelson --> Class=BBWarspite
It works in the SingleMission Narvik II, so it should also work in the full campaign? :hmm:

No prob, I should have said back everything up first though before any tinkering is started :oops:

[geosub1978]

So, I suppose the only ships left to be done are these!

[Madox58]

Nope.
There is a proper Bathurst to finish for one.
Then the MACs are not implemented.

[Sailor Steve]

There are dozens of merchant types that haven't been done, and our job is to sink merchants.

[AOTD_MadMax]

Great work VD and thanks for this ship !

Yeap, but only sinking a battleship makes you a national hero at once.

[lutzow]

VonDos - thank you, great and well armoured work;) :up:

Your carrier Aquilla and this new battleship are my favourities
from all your fleet;)

[bookworm_020]

Great work:rock: This fills in a great big hole in the original roster of warships.:yep:

Is there any chance that someone will do a mod to place this ship in all the single missions and gwx missions out there???:hmm:

[Yorktown_Class]

I saw the Warspite in a west bound convoy,I missed it but it sure looked great:up:

[von Kinderei]

Very nicely done VonDos ... :up:

[Jimbuna]

I could adjust a few of the missions, but it will not be until next week at the earliest http://www.psionguild.org/forums/images/smilies/wolfsmilies/pirate.gif

A very nice Battleship VD, job well done :up:

Any chances you could do a historical campaign modiciation? Release a version of the campaign file with the Warspite at least in Narvik and some of the other historically significant events?

Could such a mod be JSGME compatible?

[Reece]

@ Bismarck, your FileFront link is broke!:doh:

Yes that is a possibility, but the GWX2.1 work was carried out by BBW and seeing as he is a little busy right now in RL, I would be reluctant to tinker with his work without his prior consent.

I'm on annual leave next week so put up a few single mission titles that I should add the Warspite to....for now anyway http://www.psionguild.org/forums/images/smilies/wolfsmilies/thumbsup.gif

[verde13]

Perhaps you could add the Warspite on some operations in the campaign like Weserenburg and Husky ? I'd it myself if i knew how.

With Warspite installed is it correct that the ID manual entry is simply "BBWarspite"?

http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/7278/bbwarspitewq1.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

It's a little jarring when no other ships use this prefix and especially since (judging by the cfg file) the Warspite can also be spawned as the other ships of the QE class?
How could I go about rewriting the recognition manual entry to state "Queen Elizabeth Class" (or "HMS Warspite") rather than "BBWarspite"?

Only if the ship not added to EnglishNames cfg ( or whatever language you are using )

\Ubisoft\SilentHunterIII\data\Sea

BBWarspite=HMS Warspite
Or
BBWarspite=Queen Elizabeth Class

[sandbag69]

Is the BB Warspite a reworked Revenge Class BB or a new Model altogether?

[VonDos]

Reworked Revenge, clearly, the hull il really similar, like the funnel.
Btw there are a lot of differences between the 2 models :up:

[VonDos]

You can sank it, and you can do this with a 1\30 weight ship!
Be more aggressive! :up:
