This is the twelfth of a serie of units for Regia Marina, 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 5 different skins, one all-gray and one camo 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.

My Friend, thank you so much!
There's a great number of Regia Marina's units never modeled in sh3, and not only small ship.
Between them, Orsa class ships were really active during ww2, across Med sea.
Others will follow... ;)

Hi dex!
This depends from what mod\megamod are you using.
In GWX, for example, you've a specific med campaign, but main campaign and merged campaign include med warfare also.

Don't know for others megamod. Btw, you can (and should) script units with mission editor, in .scr and .rnd campaign files. See sh3 mission designer's subforum for this.

Yes, i've experienced some situation where Regia Marina's units (planes and\or ships) attack enemy warships while they were attacking me. In a couple of situation i managed to take enemy escorts close enuoght to italian-controlled docks in nord Africa, and the were attacked by ships patrolling the outside of the dock.

RM Pegaso was the most effective Italian anti-submarine ship during WWII:
List of British submarines which were sunk by this ship:

13.05.1941 - HMS Undaunted
14.04.1942 - HMS Upholder
29.04.1942 - HMS Urge
06.08.1942 - HMS Thorn

RM Pagaso was the most effective Italian anti-submarine ship during WWII:
