[WIP] WWI U-1 Control Room
 

hi, started this just for fun..i thought we could use this as a base
interior for the WWI Uboats in Wolves Of The Kaiser.
i already contacted iambecomelife and he liked the idea.

U-1 never went to war but was used as a school boat 1914-1916.

WOW !!! Your work is always incredible :D
How many interiors will you do ?
And btw, as I’m working on the sound mod for Wolves of the Kaiser and I saw in your older works there are some new sound, do you need any specific sound for your new work ?

I have to reiterate this is great work vickers03! Also, we are very lucky that U-1 itself still exists as a historical artifact - so many items and records dealing with both world wars were destroyed/scrapped. The interior has its own distinct "feel" different from at Type VII or Type IX interior - it reminds you of how primitive submersible tech used to be!!

yes!:salute: since i'm planning to animate the compressors and pumps
you see in the control room, which are driven by the electric motor
in the middle i would need some sounds for them:ping:

Oooh-oo-ooooh... noice, vickers03 :yeah: ... I'll bet iambecomelife is dancing for joy about now, happy to not have to deal directly with the interiors! lol :har: - single-hulled, and full of sweat, water dripping everywhere! :salute:

Vickers03, that is amazing stuff! :up:

Iambecomelife.... DUDE I am so freakin' happy for you, mate! :D

WotK is gonna be the bees' knees!!! :yep:

oh thats going to be siiiiick! :D

Looks very promising :Kaleun_Applaud:

Many thanks!

Thanks for the comments! And yes, this is definitely a big thing because, at present, full WWI interiors modeled by me are very much a "reach" goal for WOTK.

Current plans are to do additional interiors AFTER the main mod is released. All medium sized boats will have one interior based on the excellent UB-III photographs I'm sure you have all seen. Unrealistic, but I have ZERO interior pictures as reference for several classes. So UB-III will be used as a source for all boats...except the ones that can use the items Vickers is so generously helping with. I assume U-1 parts will be good stand-ins for the U-9 class especially - U-9 was old and obsolete even in 1914. The fact that U-9 sank 3 cruisers in a day nevertheless is truly extraordinary.

Some of the UB-III pix for newcomers:

that's a very ambitious project! for these interiors all you have
to do is model a bunch of pipes and put them everywhere:)
i couldn't find enough resources to model these interiors so
i decided to do the U-1, which is one of my favourite:ping:

Wouldn't mind a new torpedo impact sound, a better flames crackling sound, and maybe a new sound for about a 37-50mm gun. Also maybe an all male panic sound for warships. TY!

some progress..

Outstanding! And I would love to know how you designed those wheels with the spiral handles - they look fiendishly hard to model!!:up:
