i have to take a photo, but im using surface ship, so that means no periscope, so no picture, so i was just wondering if it is at all possible to take one.
Thank You in advance.

hmmm, possibly your watch crew can break out the polaroids on your ship? :lol:

as far as i know, no, no pictures, its not worth the 250 renown, so sail in and blow the living crap out of EVERYTHING!

Well the periscopes still work while surfaced so I took it to mean literally a 'surface ship' :hmm:

Periscope on a battleship!?!? :-?
Is a "playable" ship essentially the sub innards surrounded by a ship "skin"?

Actually you take an AI ship, add the subs dive planes, at least one torpedo tube, (they are hidden, they don't need to show) and in the submarine.sim file change ship to sub and then the game thinks it is a sub and you can play it.
There are a lot of file changes to make. Your conning tower view will need to be moved. The bridge crew needs to be moved. You have to "remap IDs" in the files so they won't conflict with the ones in game. Change the name so it won't conflict and change the deckgun to a turret if you want it playable and so on.........
The biggest problem when they first starting doing this was the damage model. It didn't work for the ship, but now some people have figured out how to fix that so it gets better each time they make a new ship.
There are no interiors YET, so they use a subs interior rooms.

@Tamok123: Look in the Mods forum here:

and there are probably some more that are not listed. There is a suface ship Mod in the works but it is not done yet.

Very interesting. Working guns too? I assume that the guns are actually "multiple" deck guns or do they actually have 12'' guns modded etc?

The working guns are already on the boat, unless you want to change them. They are already manned by the guns files for the AI ship. The only only ones that need to be changed are the ones you want 'playable'. And they have files for every guns in the game in the library, they are not multiple deckguns. They are actual 3D models of the guns on that ship that is being modded. And for anyone with 3D modding skill can make any gun they want.
They have double turrets, triple turrets, 5 inch, 6 inch 12 ince 18 inch anything that is on any ship in the game.
