It looks like the progress here is beautiful!

I did a quick import to check scale, look for problem faces, and see the texture in Game. Notice the Crew needs some training on the new Gun.

Some SERIOUS training needed!!
They had a bad Misfire!
:haha:

privateer's 12 pdr

Test of the 12 pdr in my mod for the Town class DD.
Blends in really well with my water.

I've got to start another career so I can get to see it on a clear day.

Using another skin where I adjusted the color slightly and modified a couple of things. Worked on the lifeboat texture last night, except for the recolored boat cover it is a nearly complete rework, fairly happy with the result. Testing a texture for the Carly rafts, doesn't look as good as I hoped, will have to go back to the old one and work on it.

Looks good.




No, looks GREAT! :rock:

Your test copy of the 12pdr has a little purple tint that won't be in the final version.
I use that color as it helps show any face smoothing issues better for me.
The shield parts really show this type issue bad if you don't work them right.

Now this area I am really happy with!

I needed the spring look as just a texture. I built it in 3D and did a render of it.
Then added it to the main texture with needed work.
I think it looks really good!
:yep:

Didn't notice the purple until you mentioned it, but I notice the tinge in the barrel in the images now...didn't see it in game.

Does it ever. :up:

It is going to look better than any gun in the game.

I'm guessing this model could be applied to other things? The tugboat guns, or armed merchants...

Sure can.

The Mark V was used on Armed trawlers, Minesweepers, some River class frigates (mostly Canadian), and various other patrol and escort vessels. Some destroyers had them in the early years of the war. British submarines used the earlier Mark IV version.

Hello privateer!
Excellent work!:up:
Knowing Your ability in an area design armament, want to offer an idea. Do you can to create Squid or improve the model of Hedgehog?

I could probably do those.
I do have a new DC thrower and a DC rack in progress.
The thrower is the MK II "ThornyCroft".
The rack is the smaller 2 barrel type seen on some Bathurst and other Ships.
I should start a new thread for weapons so as not to clutter up this one.
:hmmm:

Privateer, the gun's pretty neat ... and I really like the way you created the spring texture :D

A thread on new weapons would be welcome

I did start a new thread.

Finally got a good day in the game to see how things looked. First thing I noticed was that I had to fix some reflections and add others. Still not finished (lifeboats).

Notice the redone searchlight platform with the flag, the foremast without the searchlight platform, and the radar tower with the ladder...all courtesy of 'the_frog'. :yeah:

And, of course, privateer's 12 pounder. :yeah:
