This is the tenth of a serie of units for Regia Marina (the first new in my shipyard), a major work who started after i've start a collaboration with flush deck, in order to "homogenise" various italian warships i've released during a lot of years, and assure a standard quality level for all of them.

This unit can also plit in two parts if torpedoed in some points:

Pack include a multiskin unit, with 12 different skins, one for every ship in the class.

As you can see, i've tryed to improve units, adding 3D details like doors, portholes, cables, rails, stairs, liferats, fixing small design flaws, taking care of "historically accurate" side, etc.
The goal is have a standard level for all my Regia Marina units released until now, and eventually for future releases

SUBERB UNITS! :Kaleun_Applaud:
Navigatori-class destroyers were long time awaited in Silent Hunter III.
These destroyers had a glorious combat history of their service in WWII.

These are new ships! They are not in the campaign. You must write them yourself in the Mission Editor.

Exactly, expecially if you want to see them at docks.
At see, in some supermods you will be able to find them escorting units, as random units...

You can see the new Italian ships in December 1941 in La Spezia

Also, new superstructures\platform library with more historically accurate late war weapons configuration:

(note the second torpedo launcher, who was replaced, on most of the survived class' members, during 1942 with a platform with 2 A\A guns)

Last note, TA44, former "Antonio Pigafetta" Navigatori class' unit, has been added to german roster.

Best regards,

Why do you hide the rudders and propellers on the picture of the recognition manual ? :06:

They're not hidden, they're just blurred and dark.
While original image was just an "above the waterline" sil, really accurate, i just added the under the waterline part in order to give the dimension of the draft and considering the shape of the hull, but with no great details, really blurred, because this part isn't normally visible.

Most of real recognition manual of the time did not even show the submerged part:
