Hey, jimbuna!

Pretty nice screenies there!:up:

How's about this suggestion:

Placing the guns inside of the containers or a disappearing gun?:arrgh!:

Nice to have nasty surprises!

chripsch 06-17-08 09:00 AM

Great idea!

You can hide the guns within the containers or the buildings and behind the hull.
Will be nice when some curtains doors and so on are opening and a gun appears
to sink our poor sub :up:

Btw sinking a sub... Does anybody have some scale-drawings of german water-bombs?
I am building a 1/25 scale model of a small Vorpostenboot which needs some anti-sub equip :sunny:

Ciao, Christian

That's my achilles heel....I've only included them in the British roster so far :hmm:

I'll probably end up adding them to the American one as well, but there are quite a few pictures of American Q Ships out there and none look like the ship in the mod.

Correct me please if I'm mistaken.

Can anyone furnish me with a link that includes pictures of Q Ships from WWII :hmm:

There is a touching part about them in " Torpedo Junction ".

They came here in leaky coal burnig rust buckets with , no tools and a couple of guns a DC rack and alot of HEART.

At first they were laughed at but, when they went out on convoy duty they went after a sighted u-boat with the tenastidy of a Bulldog. :arrgh!:Grrrr They didn't have much but their courage.

Sadly one got blown out of the water to pieces.
Much later some bodys were recovered.

They were laid to rest in a small cemetry in a small south east coast town.

Their remains were never reclaimed. And to this day that town considers them THEIR OWN.

The graves are regularly tended and fresh flowers.
To these people these hero's won.t be forgotten.

I would love to have these in the fray.

And make them TOUGH and DANGEROUS.

Because the men manning them were.:up:
