I hope I was helpful enough for y'all.:) ...and that I didn't insult someone...:oops:

HOW DARE YOU!!!!...j/k :)

I figured it was something like that, GUPPP is just too hard to pronounce

I'm sure there's someone that doesn't suck at 3d modelling out there somewhere, we just have to find him, torture him severly and have him make it for us, at which point we'll imprison him and have him be our 3d modelling slave for all eternity! :D

if somebody can help me find dimensions, i might be able to help. i do have 3d modelling experience but i have never incorporated it into games.

So far thats been the hardest part of my foray into modelling (something thats literally just started this week...), Its extremely hard to find any sort real data from which to work with. I guess its understandable, being so important in the cold war, most submarines designes remain classified to this day, or if they aren't classified, they are not readily available on the internet like we'd all hope they are...

Found this while searching for the tower dimension...

Could be useful....

This also gives a rough idea how tall the tower should be

I'm sure actual plans are available. Shouldn't have to guess or "free-hand" the sail. I'll see what I can find.

That was fairly easy. Took about 30 sec. on Google. ;)

Fairly detailed plans for all three GUPPY sail types there.

GUPPY

I also expect a GUPPY.

If I knew how, I would already have done it!

But you can make this mod?

Yah! Visually it's just the conning tower. A snorkel? Hmm. The propulsion upgrade is file tweaking. CL
