I need to include credit where credit is due on that site. The information on the ship pages is gleaned from Wikipedia. Much of it is pared down due to character limitation in the paragraph scroll boxes. The ship profiles/color plates are temporary, pending permissions. This may cause me to become a profile/plate artist in my own right if they aren't forthcoming. The Youtube movies should be self-explanatory when it comes to their sources but the members who posted them will be credited. Initially, I'd hoped to use many of the fine game screenshots I've seen here on subsim .... but they're so many and difficult to pick and choose. I took to taking my own, even though my system's video card obviously doesn't have the bells and whistles some of the rest of the community has. I still can't help but notice that the screens I take in 'vanilla mode' (no mods) appear nicer to me. More like realistic paintings. Compare the Allied ships with the IJN and see if it's just me.
I think what inspired me was the repeated request for a game manual (though there is an electronic file one included in downloaded games and great pdf files included with mods). I was shooting for something on par with the manual included with the old Red Baron 3D sim (for those familiar) - something graphic intensive with a lot of technical and historical data. The Youtube movies were a whim while researching.
I do plan to fill out impressions, experiences and recommendations, regarding the mods (I'm just still playing with various combinations and compiling that info - anyone else who wishes to add their opinions and experiences welcome). It may take a bit because the site takes time from the game - I'm a working married stiff with kids and step-kids.
