Recognition Manual

[GoldenRivet]

I have one hell of a recognition manual going. Almost finished! ill get pics soon

It is leather bound with aged - yellowed pages, and split into three sections. I would like to get the leather cover embossed with Kriegsmarine stuff :lol:

Section One:

a. Cover page with "Kriegsmarine Erkennungshandbuch - Handelschiff -" with the nazi eagle and a stamped seal
b. 42 pages of 5"x7" Merchant Ship illustrations (excluding small fishing boats and sail boats etc)
c. A brief commentary on how to ID ships
d. A brief commentary on how to compute solutions
e. A brief commentary on how to use the RAOB finder in OLCs GUI mod

Section Two:

a. Cover page with "Kriegsmarine Erkannungshandbuch British Reich Kriegschiff" nazi eagle and seal
b. 45 pages of 5"x7" British Warships illustrations
Cover page with "Kriegsmarine Erkannungshandbuch Vereinigten Staaten Kriegschiff" Nazi eagle and seal
c. approximately 18 pages of 5"x7" American Warships illustrations (not yet completed)

Section Three:

a. Aircraft Silhouettes for: (turned out quite beautiful!)
Avenger, Beaufighter, B17, B24, Beaufort, Catalina, Hudson, Hiurricane, Halifax, Kingfisher, Mosquito, Sunderland (each illustration measuring about 4"x5")
b. A brief commentary on the threat of aircraft
c. A brief commentary on kriegsmarine aircraft evasion policy
d. A brief commentary on how to ID aircraft using the Silhouettes

I have plans in the works for another book which will contain ships of other nationalities however i wanted to focus on making a book for the most frequently encountered ships within GWX 2.1

expect pics soon!

Excellent work, GoldenRivet! :up:

One question: is it going to be in PDF? :hmm:

[Hondo314]

Fantastic! Looking forward to seeing it.

[GoldenRivet]

well for starters, i have never made a PDF... so...

right now i am using microsoft word to format the pages and print them in pages which were removed from and will be re-adhered to a leather journal.

i suppose i could make them into a PDF

here is a link to my blog where i have posted a pic of the cover of the handelschiff portion of the book and one pic of the aircraft Sils

[GoldenRivet]

I'm "on the road" until Thursday so it will have to wait though.

This sounds great!

Are you going to include the details for the community units mod too? I find that mod to be a must have! more than anything else i find, it has totally transformed the game for me ( i play without W/o recognition)

anyway, it's not the only one available, but here's a freeware pdf creator you can use
