Yes, once poly finishes his latest project, the bottle neck will be our 2, two, modelers.

any one else want to help?

throwing the bottleneck around eh? :up:
Im going to need a gaming laptop.

Voted for 1, facing off against the Italians as the Australian Navy in the Med would be awesome.

After talking with Polyfiller a while ago I have decided to make a refitted Renown as no one has made one for the game. Don`t have any pics as I am still working on the 3D model, but I am almost done with it.

Noticed H-45 was missing from the list :har:

Many thanks Karle - let me know when you're done and I'll do the damage modelling etc.....

Almost done with the Richelieu. Will post pictures of her and the Renown when I have them ingame.

Just got the Richelieu ingame. Here`s some pics:

Still have to add a lot of AA guns and move the existing ones to the right places.

Also have a little preview of the Renown:

the models look amazing!! keep up the good work guys!:salute:

Yes - looks promising Karl - well done.

Deck textures look good also ..... is there no chance you can make the Hood / Renown / repulse deck textures look as good also ?

Sure thing.

Karle: when you can get on FB chat please do. I have a list of SHV ships we are importing to SHIV for this mod.

Heeellloooo??????
 

hi, its been quiet here for a while, does this mod still exist? or is it just the silence before the storm? ANY UPDATES???
i look forward to the day this mod will be released and i will keep my fingers crossed for this hardworking modders.
kind regards,
Briggadoon

Theres still a lot of distance to cover on this mod, but thankfully we are stil making progress.

I just moved to live with my mother, and I left my computer where I came from, so, when I moved up here, I had to wait on my computer.
now, its here, and I can start to resume work on the German ship models. :up:

nice to hear that youre still at work!!!
will it be possible to play the nelson-class bb (one of my favorites)?
does the mod have any career-modus? that means you start the campaign on a destroyer and get the possibility to promote to lead a bb?
if yes i hope a career-modus and ship-of-choice-modus is chooseable.
that would be great.
can you please give us a new update asap to satisfy my(our) mod-hunger?!?
i hope you will finish the mod soon and wish you godspeed.

Concerning career mode,

We are definitely looking into making ship-based and advancement-based careers an option, that way, if you want to start with a corvette and work your way up to a destroyer, than you can, or a destroyer to a BB, or a cruiser to a BB, so on.

or if you just want to start with the battleships we will have that option too.

we already have the Nelson in-game, and its a real heavy-hitter

but so far, a lot of the members are students, we don't have a whole lot of time to begin with, but we are working as much as we can :)

In case no one saw the thread in the fleet boats mod section, I am currently trouble-shooting a serious problem with my damage model - for some reason all the main compartments (on all playable ships) stopped flooding until they reached 100% damage. I'm making some progress, but so far it's burned two weeks worth of modding time :-(

As for the Nelson ...... Shammer is right .... I gave the damage model for this one and the armament special attention (it uses a 16 inch shell setup from historical data I could find). When I balanced the damage model, I setup 1 x KGV & 2 x Nelson class against AI Bismark ..... and the Bismark goes down. Reason I used 2 x Nelson class was that it was difficult to introduce the disability the Bismark had during it's final engagement (steering)..... but TBH, on the basis of all the research I did on BB vs. BB engagements, most pretty much came down to whoever hit first... most 14inch + armament could do critical damage to most BB's... so the adjustments in the damage model I made make each BB different, but the real deciding factor is still who lands first. Some are more repairable than others, which also helps differneciate also.

well, in my back to work scheme of things, I decided to start extracting SHV models, which, I must admit, are wonderfully detailed for being of such a low-poly count.

Looking good! Next weekend we are going to go into 'warp drive' with this.

yeah ´warp drive´, nice to hear that.
@polyfiller i hope you can fix the problems of your damage model.

i´ve just a question about the ship´s turrets and their crew:
is it possible to reprogramm the torpedorooms to turretrooms? (sorry i dont know the english names of the rooms, i hope you understand what i mean)
if you go to the periscope-section you have the same menu like the (on deck)cannon, except you are controlling the main-turrets. the front-torpedoroom is for the front-turrets, and the backward-torpedoroom is for the backward-turrets (for example: for the nelson the front-torp-room is for the first and second turret, and the backw-torp-room is for the third turret).
if it is possible so you can control directly the main-gun-section, the on deck-cannon-section and the flak/AA-section, so you have more control of your ship.
the on deck-cannon-section can be devided in two subsections for left side and right side/front and back.
the flak/AA-section can be devided in three to four subsections for front, middle, back-section for example

just a few thoughts about the ship-mod, because i don´t know which function the torpedorooms will have in a ship-mod (sorry for my bad english, i´m working on it)

you guys rock!!! i hope you will finish the mod, i keep my finger crossed for you!!!:rock:

ps: an other (short) question: some destroyer have torpedolauncher on deck straightened to the side of the ship, will it be possible to fire the torpedo not to the front but to the side?
