Hello,

considering the nice artwork presented by Wise, this is just a very humble contribution:

The idea was to have some proper company for Gerome73's Strasbourg.

The_Frog, this is a very nice artwork.....We are never desapointed when you offer us a ship for SH3 :yeah:

Thank you for that

Good hunting

Nice to see that new units still comming :yeah:

I've tried your new destroyer in the game. Well, this is a beautiful piece of art ! The level of detail is incredible. All is reproduced accurately. Something surprised me a lot : as I didn't see deep charges' launchers on the deck, I approached the ship without discretion, she detected and attacked me.

I think only two things could be improved at the hull : it should be slightly curved in the lengthwise direction : the bow and stern slightly raised. And the windows could be modeled in 3 dimensions.

Many congratulations, you are very talented and perfectionist !! I appreciate people like you. Thanks a lot for sharing your incredible work !!! :yeah:

@everybody: Thanks for the kind words :salute:

@Fahnenbohn:

The hull is slightly bended; the forecastle raises by about 30 cm to the bow; the main deck raises towards aft by about 10 cm. That's very little but I followed the faired lines plan (plan des formes) of Le Fantasque & L'Audacieux as drawn 1930/31 (the historical department of the French navy once provided great scans of original plans and I am happy I downloaded a few). Possibly, you refer to Le Terrible, which had a slightly modified hull and a different shaft layout.

I skipped 3D portholes; the model is already at >100 000 triangles.


@Hunter:

About the time I started with the Le Fantasque BoJohansson started working on Le Vauquelin. I wonder if he completed the model (no furhter information available since the Sukhou forum is down).


@Jeff-Groves:

There another ship on the slipway, with the tentative pennant number J 566 :arrgh!:

The original files are still at the link I sent you?

Nice work. They look great!

Thanks!!! Error (luckily one without effect) corrected, revised version uploaded.

Hello the_frog !

Did you try my parameters for your destroyer ? See thread "The ships' behaviour at sea". I think this may interest you.

And one question : why do you have to specify that ? :

[Unit 1]
Name=Le Fantasque
DOC=19350310
DOD=19421108

[Unit 2]
Name=Le Malin
DOC19360608
DOD=19421108

Is it not useless ?
