See I knew you would find away to keep busy
 

And shake things up around here!

Good work Duci and a nice Holliday treat for everyone to have!

Even got elanaiba on board with you on this one!

>>See I knew you would find away to keep busy

It wasn't intentional. Reaves said something in passing in a totally non related thread, and a 40 watt light bulb clicked on. (100 watt bulb would have included a *real* 3d model for the narwhal)

At the least, it may not LOOK like a narwhal, but i think it FEELS like one. (That and its a damn good excuse to do lots of special operation missions, and blast the crap out of things with duel deck guns, thats just insanely fun to watch.)

edit:
BTW, this is an interesting read

I have seen the gun's on several occasions
 

I go up there usualy during the summer to visit the sub musium and the Mistic Aquarium. Nice being near a Sub Base sometime's. I got a tour of the place when I was in the Army home on leave.

Of course just comming back from Germany having a Top Secret security clearance helped here after being on a Nuclear Weapons base.

Nice link, look forward to seeing this completed.

Ive decided that im dropping the porpoise varient. I will touch it no more. Its all about the sargo varient now.


Its ready to go acutally, i just need to write up the documentation/readme. (god i hate doing that, blah).

Allow me to introduce to you, the new, improved, unique, and as historically correct narwhal we can get with existing 3d models.

Sargo body, Porpoise conning tower, it acutally works out pretty well.

The beauty is, the periscope shears are more historically correct. The narwhale predates the propoise in evolution, and the taller shears didnt really appear until AFTER the porpoise. Since im using the porpoise tower, the narwhale, naturaly uses porpoise radar as well. Make sense really since its an older boat and probably woudlnt get the latest tech advances like a gato or balao.

So, we also have the unique hump muffler exhaust, and now prop guards.

With the exception of the 4 external torpedo tubes, (totaly unmoddable), we now have a historically correct torpedo loadout. (or as near as historical as research allows)

I love this.


Ill release this asap.
