[REL] New Unit - Improved T-2 Tanker

[iambecomelife]

This is a revision of the T-2 tanker using the Liberty Ship as a parent unit. Work on it continues but for now, download it here:

The install should be quite easy, so don't hesitate to try it out.

The ship contains a pack of 24 skins representing numerous companies and camoflage schemes:

Note that between 1939 and early 1942 American ships sometimes had the home port, name, and nationality painted on the hull. For this mod I have substituted company names for individual ship names.

Armament configuration changes over time:

Thanks. :D

As long as there are random entries for tankers in the campaign you have a chance of seeing it. For instance, if you have five tankers including this one - say, NOTMs, NOTSf, NOTM_T2, T09A, and T13A - then whenever SH3 is called upon to generate a random tanker ingame, there is roughly a one in five chance of seeing it. As far as I know most of the supermods and vanilla SH3 have entries for random tankers.

If you want it to replace the default T-2 in all scripted instances you can open Campaign_SCR.mis and Campaign_RND.mis in MSWord, use the "Ctrl+H" function, and replace all instances of "OTMST2" with "T13A". Please back up your files, though.

If there is one type of a ship I like to sink it has to be a Oiler. :up:

I understand - I like the T-2's and it feels a little sad to sink ships of any type.

About 10 years back I visited Canada and saw a bulk freighter on the lakes that may have been a converted T-2 tanker (based on the size and the distinctive portholed wheelhouse). Amazing to see these ships still in use, IMO. Unfortunately it was too far away to read the name - I have always wondered what it was.:hmm:

Hey IBL, have a look at http://www.boatnerd.com/ . Despite the name, it's a pretty good site on Great Lakes shipping, inc lots of photos inc historical photos. You may find the one you saw or something similar anyway. I suspect that if you contacted them with a description they would be able to help you identify it.

Thank you, Dutchie-one :up:

Not exactly a T-2, but here is a medium tanker with the giant neutrality flags scheme:

Scheduled for release with the other ships (sorry - I am not certain of the date).:nope:

I like how the neutral countries painted their ships this way - it makes for some interesting (and patriotic-looking) designs.

@Nik - Thank you for the boatnerd link - that's a good idea. Maybe I'll also find some pix of the "Quebecois" and the "Seaway Queen", both of which I also saw on that trip.

[Revere]

(sorry - I am not certain of the date).:nope:


I am certainly looking forward to the release, but I just feel the need to say...

Please don't rush. I don't want you getting burned out!

your doing a fine job on the tankers, keep up your excellent work :up:

[Cezbor]

Tanker 09 and Tanker 13 seems to work properly. Both have been sunk near Florida straits. No serious problems (skins, textures, AI behavior, damage, etc.) to report. Good work captain:up: . Eager to see more of your ships.

Ps. Long sinking time noticed inspite of 2 HT's direct hits. Perhaps I need something more powerful to feed my fishes:hmm: .

[Dutchie-one]

Hello Mate, thank you I will wait till you releasse.

As far as I know ESSO was a joint venture between a American and an Dutch oil compagnie.
Shell was a joint venture between an Enlisch an a Dutch Oil compagnie.

Thanks a Lot.
