Several British WWI dreadnoughts, battlecruisers, and armored cruisers. They are planned for my WWI mod. Note that they're intended as AI targets for human-controlled submarines, and will not be playable units.

I would like to do a surface mod for WWI, but only if it's done properly. I don't want to just be slapping Dreadnoughts on top of SH4's submarine-oriented infrastructure, so to speak. Porting over surface ships isn't all that challenging. For a REAL mod, WWI weapons, gunnery, communications tech, ship interiors, tactical doctrines, uniforms, decorations, & more would all need to be researched.

I would want the user to really feel like he's Jellicoe or Beatty, hammering the Germans at the Falklands, or watching yet another Battlecruiser go up in flames at Jutland. Achieving that ambience would mean years of research, plus even more years of modeling. Good mods take time, and take the user back in time. ;)

Considering how slowly "Wolves of the Kaiser" is coming on, and that it's a one man operation, I don't see WWI surface ships for SH4 happening soon.

I have the KGV and Lion class as WIP. The KGV is from SHV. The Lion is a slightly modified and enlarged SHV KGV.
