He means medical exams and competency hearings at the nursing home.

I remember back in the day when we were all young men and IABL had first started work on this magnificent mod. :p

Anvart, what happened to your posts?! I liked that drilling support ship! :hmm:

Anyway, a quick update now that the weekend's here. A non-standardized model in paint schemes for Isthmian and American Export. They were posted elsewhere but just in case you didn't see them:

Many freighter classes had similar features, so it's a struggle to make them interesting if they're of similar sizes. To distinguish this from the Hog Islander I gave it a British-style bridge, different bulwarks, extra cranes on the bow, and a taller funnel. Maybe now they look distinct enough.

iambecomelife,

Excellent looking ships :up:, but if you look closely at the painted US flags on the hull they appear to be the modern-day 50 star version (1959 to present) instead of the 48 star WWII flags. The animated flags on the stern look to be correct.
Keep up the good work!!! They're really top notch. :D

Cheers,
UberTorpedo

Good point. I will try blowing up SH3's default US flag graphic & see how it looks.

I honestly didn't mind them, Anvart. That was some nice work.

Minor update: I finished American freighter neutrality skins. I've started on the tankers now. Because there are some skins that can be adapted from the T-2 tanker that I made earlier, this shouldn't take too long.

I assigned a modern 5,000-ton merchant to the US. Technically European style, but still similar to the ships of a few American companies, like Alcoa Lines & Grace Line. They were built right before the war to replace the old Hog Island types.

The old US flag has been replaced with a 48-star version (weathered and standard variants). :ping: If I have time I will retrofit the existing US skins with it.

Wonderful Mod !

Minor Update: Some new construction. Screenshots of WIP light tanker (3500-4000 GRT) and a medium freighter (3800-4200 GRT). Might try an oiler version of the tanker and a Q-Ship version of the freighter.

Another thing - I am trying to design an old-fashioned light tanker. Denis469 has helped out but anyone with more pics of small tankers from maybe 1900-1925, please post.

Geosub1978, check your pm.

Sorry, Iambecomelite - I send you all small soviet tankers what I have :(

I'm send you today 1-2 letter with other soviet ships. In letter would be 2 small tankers only. And tankers made from 1900-1925 year have many various silouettes.
