signal flags, animations, what next. Just gets better. I may have said this before, but your ships look to good to sink!:up:
Your artwork and research is much appreciated. I have always enjoyed reading the comments you write about the various ships and their history. It shows your close attention to detail. For you it is not just a question of putting a ship together and launching it. What I am trying to say is that it's all good stuff and well worth the wait. Thanks for keeping up the good work.:salute:

Looks like stolen from Silent Hunter 7 or higher...:)

Excellent as always!:up:

Empire Freighers
 

Hello, can somebody tell me if those Empire class freighers
is a Empire C class ?

They were in use bij the Dutch Mechant navy.

Tanks, Dutchie-one :up:

Not really. I just designed them based on photos of typical UK merchant vessels built during the war. For instance, "Empire Tide", "Belgian Airman", and "Paulus Potter" (as you probably know, a UK-built Dutch cargo ship).

one of the books mentioned 10 ships al whit the names of 17 Century Painters

Greetz, Dutchie-one :yeah:

I have a nice book on Vermeer's artwork somewhere in my basement - one of these days I'll have to dig it up.:rotfl:

Thanks for the info - I didn't know about any of them except "Paulus Potter". It's a shame that the "Paulus Potter" had such a short life - just like the man she was named after. At least the entire crew was rescued.

Your ships are simply stunning IAMBL, True works of art:salute::salute::salute:

Ships in the game
 

I have downloaded the arrow tanker and some others, and enabled them with jsgme, so do they appear generally within the game as part of convoys or on their own?
Just out of interest so that I can look out for them.

Thanks :yeah:

Depends on the mods you have installed but should appear both as singles and in convoy no problem

OK great- I will keep an eye out for them then!

don't want to be a problem maker but



eta eta eta

keep up the good work :yeah:

I think you should start from scratch but use a more "duck-egg" blue colour as opposed to the "opal-sea" blue you're currently using. :woot:

I was a young man when i first time heard about Merchant Fleet Mod from iambecomelife. I just curious: any chances to see this mod in my mid age? :haha:
