VIIC - Side rails in wrong locations?
 

It looks to me on the earlier versions of the VIIC, the side rails are in the wrong locations, it should be reversed, so the rails are on the foredeck around the deck gun, and none on the rear. Anyone know if there is a fix for this?

Anyone?

Don't know about a fix, but...

The early VII I have in SH3 (with GWX) has the rails in the 'correct' position. i.e. it has curved rails around the gun located on the foredeck which terminate near the front of the conning tower and continue back (with cables) until the cables meet stanchions approximately in line with the rear of the conning tower, the steel rails then continue again, extending a little way back onto the rear deck, although certainly not as far as the rails extend at the front. However, it's possible to find pictures of type sevens with very different rails - even for boats built in the same month - largely because of the different yards which built them. I've seen some pictures of earlier type sevens with (cable) rails running almost the full length of the rear deck, although, judging from photographic evidence, it appears these were deleted fairly quickly.

:D Chock

Type VIIB has correct positions, VIIC does not.

You want to show a pic or two to what you mean by that?

if you READ instead of just posting you would KNOW what ppl are talking about

the rails do look wrong on a type 7c with the turm1, they should indeed be around the gun on the foredeck, on later models however they are in the correct position, around the lower flak platform on turm2 upwards.
Its possible to edit the model to move the rails forward but this would make it incorrect for later configurations.

Thanks for the input. This is exactly what I thought, I guess we'll just have to live with it though. :doh:

wtf?

what WTF mean?

What The *******.... thats what it means

I,ve never seen there early war type sevens with differtent deck railings you talk about i would like to see some examples. The VIIC,s in GWX look the same as the one,s in vanilla sh-3 with the incorrect deck railing. This is what it should look like

Seems that nomatter how much i bring this topic up noone seems to want to fix this. To bad because now it seems there is a possibility.

I would fix it if I knew how.
