Heres some screenshots

Complete waste of money
The only thing that looks anywhere decent is the
Deutschland

Will need time to go thru what bases you lose to add the med ones but jeez

They added a Hunt II DE which is correct but then so should the HuntI and III be DE too
and why leave the HuntII DD in ?

Well whatever floats your boat really but the oil tanker above says it all really

X1:o NO WAY:down:

Heh, now that's a troop carrier ;)

BBW: what was the pic JScones posted to the TGW forums. The one with Bismarck as small tanker. Is it real or did he fake it??:rotfl:

No I think he faked that - unless thats a pleasure I have'nt reached yet :rotfl: :rotfl:

Some of the models look nice...but I'm really concerned about the inaccuracies in the descriptions:
Arethusa light cruiser, 4X triple 6" guns- pic shows 3X twin guns
Bellana light cruiser, 5X twin 5.25"- pic shows 4x twins
Unknown Sloop
Gloucester light cruiser- seems to be missing a turret (there's an empty space)
M-class destroyer, 5x single- looks to be 3x singles
Caderna light cruiser, 5x twin- looks like 4x twin
De Barbiano light cruiser, 8 (!) twin- I only count 4

For wording, twin and double are used interchangeably. Sometimes no description is given (1x 4").

What's an "ArmTrawler"?

I don't feel this is nitpicking- these aren't amatuers doing this for fun/love of the game. These are "professionals" who expect to be paid for their work; they simply must be held to a higher standard. (Note to Seawolves people: spend $50 on someone with good English grammar skills and have them proof the text entries).

I'm not going to infer anything about the gameplay from the cosmetics- my experience has been that programming skills and writing ability are not correspondent. The game may perform brilliantly, despite the errors. I will say, though, that it doesn't do much to boost consumer confidence in their product- I have to ask myself, if they couldn't be bothered with the least difficult part of a mod, what does that portend for the more complex parts?

Have to say I havent played it yet - cant bring myself to look at those "ships" ingame
When I am bored and at a loss I might have a go

Not sure I will be buying the game now. Had a look at the screenshots. Awful!!

Gloucester class cruiser and Sloops look not to bad but the rest are awful.

Arethusa class light cruisers have forward turrets in wrong positions.

Deutschland is on the wrong hull and looks poor.

Heavy cruisers are a total joke. Nothing like the real ones.

Only reason I'd buy it now is to use it to add Gloucester class cruiser and Sloops but wont be adding anything else.

Real pity. Poor effort indeed by the makers. :down:

The sloops are all cloned and renamed Black swans with different arnament on each one
If you want the Gloucester just get Sergs Southampton

The Deutschland is made from the Hipper as is the Trento

I have both these X1 Mods. I must say, they look like they have gathered up all the loose mods on these boards and slapped them together without really knowing what they are doing. Or in a rush.

The addon ships are junk. Most are simply reskinned clones, the others are very poorly made. The HMS Kent/London models have so many visual bugs, like wrong textures or models floating in the air.

Just about everything else you can download for free form these boards. To my eye, it looks like someone has gathered up early versions of all the good mods and tried making a large patch like GW, but not done it properly. Then try charging us for it.

At least there are some credits at the end of the readme.

Dont waste your money. Its like someone saying to you. "Would you like a free Ice Cream, from my store, or would you rather go across the road and pay $2", and you saying "I'll take the 2 dollar Ice Cream thanks, as the other store has a nice shop front"

Now has anyone got a HMS London model without bugs?

:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Question being if someone "finishes" the London would Combat planes moan about stealing their ships ?

I doubt it. They just make it a patch and put it on their site to make money from someone else's hardwork. So I doubt you will see someone finishing those models off, for the good of X1 software.

bigboywooly,

You have not included a screenshot of the Southampton-class cruiser.

As to Gloucester class cruiser, I can see even from a screenshot that they took the file from my Southampton-class cruiser mod due to very specific changes I have made for the 3D model. They probably opened it in the 3D editor and managed to corrupt references to the textures and some 3D parts. If I can take a look at the DAT file I can verify whether X1 people took the file from my mod.

When they published first SW-Med advertising screenshots of Southampton and Gloucester cruiser a while ago, I pointed out they took the cruiser from my mod. They immediately replied that those are placeholders and they will have another ones which will be newly made.

Another thing that I saw from the advertising SW-Med screenshots that X1 was going to continue selling my Multi-skinned ships mod which they "borrowed" for the first Seawolves release. If I can take a look at DAT files of the corresponding ships, I can check that out as well.

Sergbuto, would you mind if I help you reload?

I've got a whole stack of shells here with "X-1" written all over them.

Not at all.
