FYI I am now putting the initial release beta version together; it will cover the US and British merchant navies. Hopefully it will be sent to the testers within 1-3 weeks (depending on my real life workload). Most of the tankers in these screenshots have had minor improvements, and I also created some entirely new tankers in the interim.

Mast reflections?
 

Very nicely modelled ships. May I make a humble observation, however? I do not see mast reflections on the water surface on the viewer's side of the ships. Maybe that effect is done somewhere else and the ship modder does not control that effect. But I thought I would comment on what I noticed in the face of such elegant designs. Please don't consider it some nasty criticism - it's not presented as such.

That's fantastic news. I'm really looking forward to see them in my installation :yep: :up:

Tally ho!!!:) I will be glad to see them in my periscope and to do with them something... mmm damagable :arrgh!:

Are we there yet?

Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooon :lol:

nice :up:

A minor update - Last week I created two huge batch files for swapping out different series of skins. That way you can get around the SH3 limitation that causes the game to display the same skins over and over again. It also enables you to make the ships camoflaged whenever you want - for instance, in 1940 you can have US ships with hull flags and other neutrality markings (since America wasn't at war yet), while in 1942 you can give these same ships gray and/or patterned camoflage.

I am about to try a campaign for the first time, and will let you know the results.

Crack on
