A lot of playable ships won't go in together because they change the same files. So, some can be installed together, some can't.
The Bismark is a unique situation anyway, it is not in SH4 so you have to use the playable one. But either one of those ships will go against a non-playable. You just can't mix a US playable with a German playable. And a lot of times you can't mix playable from the same side, like I said they sometimes change the same files.

If you put the same two ships in an American mission, the Bismark will just sit there and do nothing. So what you need is an AI version. You can put the Bismark up against the AI version of the Iowa which is in SH4. I don't know if there is an AI version of the Bismark, but if there is you can put those together.

I've got a small problem with the playable ships. All are missing the playable turret.
I reinstalled SH4 because I upgraded my computer and changed to vista. It does not matter if I have some other mods enabled at vanilla it's always the same.
Any help would be appreciated.

Do you have 1.5 (Uboat add on?) If you do the problem may be Vista.

Peabody

Yes I have 1.5 but the weird thing is that the other subs do have the deck guns :-?

Sorry but whats the fun on sailing in an carrier whitout planes..

While sailing next to enemy battleship!

Remarkale, no ...incredible work on these ships. I am sitting here staring at them and shaking my head in wonder. For years all we naval wargamers had was pen, paper, dice, tables and if there was room, waterline models. I used a tennis court once to play the Graf Spee campaign. 30 years ago. I am in awe. I see correct dazzle paint, correct configurations, correct armament, correct top hamper, correct funnel configs (a pet peeve of mine), correct just about everything. One ship i could suggest for some remarkable expansion of game play might be one of the USN fleet carriers the Lex or the Sara or the big E...any of which could embark a TF Adminral ....and maybe some day someone can solve the challnege of launchable air and make the carriers live again. But i digress. I mostly wanted to say Well Done to the shipyard Supers who made these remarkable vessels, i have studied most of them, intimately and am amazed. My grandfather's first surface command was an old four piper, and another cousin was skipper on a Fletcher DD, other family served on both the Hipper, Graf Spee and the Bismark, and I am very much admiring the fine fine work done on all of these great ships. I am still becoming accustomed to the degree of detail and accuracy of this remarkable series of sims..i am seeing things that we never dreamed possible, well we dreamed but did not think to see what I am seeing. thank you all.

Any chance the list of playable ships be updated?

What happened to the Clemson? Looks like the DL link was taken down :(

where are all the ships gone?
 

At first sorry for my bad english. But I have to say, nice work done here ^^ love all those fantastic Battleships <3
the poor thing is I tried to download the ships of Ivank and searched the whole forum for this "download-link" in his signature. But haven´t found anything xD So if somebody has a wonderful list of Downloadable ships and links to them ^^ I have allready the "normal" ships, like Iowa and Bismarck etc. But Iam very curious to get other ships like King George IV, Littorio etc.
I would be glad If somebody want to help me out.

Its kinda strange ^^ have I asked something wrong or why is nobody answering? I mean a simple "No, I have no informations/links to other ships" would be okay too.

greetings

Don't get so sensitive when you don't get answers. This thread is two years old, It started in 2008. So a lot of people are just not reading it anymore. This thread was started when the playable ship was a 'new' thing and alot of the links no longer exist.
Five of the ships are mine, Iowa, Kongo, Fuso, Brooklyn, Maya. But they had problems. I did not know how to damage models at that time. (I still don't fully understand it) The ships would take damage but you could not fix it. They did not work in Career mode only in single missions due to a mistake in the upc file, so I got enough complaints in PMs that I deleted the links.

I planned to fix them but started another project and never got back to them.

I know there are several ships available but I don't have links for them. Some of Ivanks ships were probably taken down because he is working on a Surface Warfare mod in the ATO forum. And he is not making the ships available until the MOD is released.
Some of the others are still availavble, try doing a search for them. I know there is a fixed and improved version of the Iowa, and a playable Montana, and others.

There are some ships for download right here at Subsim's download section, Iowa, Montana and North Carolina are playable, I do not know about the others.

Also some of the people moved on to SH5, so the threads with the ships are probably a long ways back in the list.

So simply put, you are asking in a 2008 thread that people are not reading anymore simply because the questions are usually the same. "The links don't work anymore".

Just an explanation of why you did not get any answers in an old thread.

Peabody

heres some... http://www.filefront.com/user/Karle94

Much respect to Kerle94 for taking time to make them.

Yes Karle is the man :)

You should try the Montana, very nicely done

One of the best ships out there.

At first, thank you for the answer ^^ Maybe you´re right i was a bit to sensitive. Thanks for the links and the Answers ^^

greetings
