Its amazing how stealthy the montana seems to be in one of those storms that dont allow you to see anything. I snuck up on a task force and sunk all of the ships without really being "found" :P

I would reccomend that you use my new Montana. I made a new 3D model and overall improved the ship.

I have used the new model and found a few bugs which are not on the first version.

The bridge is somewhere inside the ship and front cannons are too close to each other.

Also i have changed some values and that would mean i have to start all over again :p

Still you provide great mods karle and i hope you continue.
I hope one day i get the change to play with the iowa refit the one with the helicoper deck.

The new 3D model is in version 1.2 and it doesn`t look like the model you have in the pictures.

The bridge thingy must have been something I missed.

Iowa 1980`s refit will be included in my Cold War-Modern Warfare mod.

I decided to take a second look at the new model and the crew compartments is in fact alot better.

Time to use the new model :p

Hi Karle started playing around with the 1.2 version and i have changed a few minor settings.

I first lowered the ship (gc_height is now set at 2)
I also increased the drag so the ship is not moving around so much it should be heavy (up/down drag set to 1,0)

There is one thing that puzzles me the aft cannon is not centered like the others. Any idea which file needs to be edited?

USA_Montana.sim. Open the last obj_turret, open the traverse node and edit min and max traverse. It didn`t work beacuse I didn`t know, and still don`t know witch number to put in those two sections.

thanks Karle i fixed it

I changed the 150 value to 360 and now it's correct

Nw the turret will fire at any ships within 360 degrees, meaning the aftermost turret shoot through the ship.

You could copy the values from number 3 turret, but min=50 max=310 I think should be OK. They're degrees.

Thanks. It`s impossible tp find the turret you want among all those guns. I really need those numbers. I will apply them to the Montana and Vanguard.

I`ve been working on a 1.3 version of the SoDak. Did some minor 3D adjustments and added an extra dusin AA guns. I tested her in the Battle
of Midway. Here`s some pics:

I took some damage. It ain`t no big thing.

But then, it grew. Still ain`t no big thing, right? Wrong!

Look on the outside!

Guess now is a perfect time to say: "Boy, what I wouldn`t would give to sail on the Montana!"

Karle, you should be court martialed for allowing the USS Alabama to be damaged to such an extent.

As usual, great work!!:rock:

Guilty as charged. how can they court martial me if I`m dead? One battleship for three battleships, three carriers, five dstroyers. I`d say that`s a good ratio, it could even clear my name.
