[REL] USS Benham class destroyer
 

Hi folks,


although “SH 5” is coming soon, I'll continue to make some ships for the “good old sim” SilentHunterIII. The first ship is the “USS Benham” class destroyer.


It is a “pure” SH3-clone of the “USS Somers” destroyer. It is compatible with Stock-SH3 and will run with all known “super-mods”.

The “Director” upon the bridge will turn to an follow air/sea targets – just like the guns.


This MOD is “JSGME-ready” - so just copy it into the folder “SilentHunterIII/MODS” and activate it via “JSGME”. You can download this MOD here:


EDIT: NEW VERSION 2 (without CTD, see post 26 and 27 here in this thread)

Hi Rowi,
really nice work. Thanks for releasing .
Best regards:salute:

SH5 still has to proof that is greater inheritor of SH3 and not a silly arcade, thus every addition to old good SH3 is welcomed. Awesome!

Nice one Rowi
Just reinstalled SH3 so will DL this now :yeah:

Awesome! :yeah::salute::salute:

It looks beautiful, thank you very much.

Nice one, rowi.
Do we need to add anything to EnglishNames.cfg or is she good as she is?

Thx WB,

yes, you can/must add "something" to the "EnglishNames.cfg", for example:

DDBenham=USS Benham class

or whatever you prefer (depends on the naming convention of your MOD).

Very nice work Rowi!
I just saw your other destroyer classes released for SH4, will some of these make it into SH3? :DL

With all those great Mods and those still being WIP, SH III will never die!

Nice! I am working on a set of skins for this destroyer - here is a North Atlantic, disruptive camoflage scheme, with some weathering. I'd like to release them, if that's OK with rowi58.

Quetion for Iambecomelife
 

HI Iambecomelife - in lieu of the 100's of subsimmers who are about to come flooding back to SH3 following the immenant demise of SH5 I wonder if you can confirm if your Merchant Fleet mod was completed,.

I downloaded the mod when it was first released, but could not get it to work, then I uninstalled SH3 to make way for SH5 - however as the latte ris now looking less and less likely to be of much interest I thought to you for an update re the Merchant Fleet mod.

I see you're still active here on SH3 and thought to ask about your Merchant mod

Regards

Hi rascal101 - the mod is definitely still alive. I recently reinstalled SH3 and have decided to replace the models of the ships that were apparently giving trouble. Some changes to the mod may require modification of GWX and other supermod campaign layers - I hope to get permission from the relevant parties to do this.

Please keep us informed Sh5 is a dud
 

Please keep us informed Sh5 is a dud so many will be re-installing SH3 - your mod is one of a sellect few that will make the difference

@ iambecomelifem

very nice skins :up:. And please: release them.


@ piri_reism

the USS Sims class is ready for upload, maybe on WE Feb., 13./14. (dont have - private - internet access here in Berlin).

Perhaps a "USS Alan M. Summner" class will follow.
