Tried her at the battle of samar against three kongos and the yamato. Sank two of the kongos and the yamato before the last kongo and cruisers got me.

questions
 

Karle,

First I would like to thank you for this mod. I have been having so much fun blasting away at the convoys and escorts. I have a few questions regarding the mod.

-Is there anyway to know how much damage you have sustained?
-is there anyway to reduce the amount of jap airplanes? The career mod is almost unplayable because the planes don't stop coming. I run out of AA ammo before I can get to patrol area.

Thanks for your hard work and assistance.

Press F10, there you should see the ship and all the systems. there is also a bar showing how much damage the ship has taken. Last time I engaged a jap BB I got hit maybe 4-5 times. The damage was 32%.

As for mods that reduces air traffic. I do not know many mods that do that, most have probably been deleted. I know that you have to change a few things in the Sim.cfg in the cfg folder.

Thanks, I guess there is something wrong with my damage indicators. I can see that my ship takes damage (on fire), but there is no damage indicated on F10 screen.

I'm going to try to approach the patrol area from a different direction to try and avoid jap air patrols. If that doesn't work they I will just have to play without completing the mission. CO may not appreciate that!

Again thanks for your hard work on all these mods. I'm really liking the surface warfare!

I still don't take on any damage. I don't have any other mods running and I have version 1.4. Am I missing anything?

When using stock 1.4 or 1.5 the ship is kinda super ship. Try with OM. That works for me. For some reason when using OM the ship takes more damage than with stock.

New versions out for both the Montana and the South Dakota. Download links in the first post.

Thanks Karle, is it possible to add the paint scheme of the previous version of the montana?

You mean the camo paint? Will add a texture pack when I have time.

No need used the paint from the previous version works like a charm :)


And Karle i have a small bug to report and a fix for it:

When you start a new career i always like to start inside the harbor
the montana starts on the peer not next to it.

The fix:

Open flotilllas.upc

Find


[Flotilla 1.Base 1]
ID= PearlHarbor
NameDisplayable= Pearl Harbor, Hawaii
ExternalBaseName=Pearl Harbor
AvailabilityInterval= NULL, NULL
DepartureDescription1= -18954728, 2562755, 45.918098 ; Enum of available points, choose one randomly each time a patrol is started
DepartureDescription2= -18954728, 2562755, 46.252201
DepartureDescriptionOut1= -18957616, 2548824, 242.189346 ; Enum of starting points for when the player selects the option to start outside the base


what you see above is the correct settings for a career start i coloured what needs to be changed

The result:

If someone could upload the camo paint scheme for the Montana I would really appreciate it.

for this class my love is north carolina;)

New version of the Montana is out. New 3D model and some extra stuff. Read the read me for additional info. Sorry I don`t have any pictures of her as of now. Download link on page 1.

Nice pics! Am curious sometimes....

I really love this ship!
 

Karle94, Montana is great, I can't decide which is my favorite ship mod now. Been playing the Montana in career since you released the new version, and she seems flawless, I've had no issues. Once again great job!

Thanks
Captain Rockwell Torry:salute:

you make the Nevada or Texas?

Not playable. I have made an AI rebuilt Nevada. As for the Texas, there are none for SHIV. The New York and Texas are included in SHV

An attempt at painting my own Montana :)
