I'm sure the Balao and Tench should be easy as derivatives of the Gato, but each of the others is a separate class.
Gotta have them 'S'-boats, though.  |
Your right to a degree. Minus the V class you mention though, Gatos thru Tench had very very little in the way of different detail in the control room or conning tower (we need the conning tower as it was the 'control center' of the attack) or for that matter any of the compartments. Some different arrangments of where some equipment may have been placed but otherwise not much that one would be upset about if not just exact. Exterior wise should not be an issue if the "Birds eye view" of SH3 and SH2 are not kept. One never had that view anyway. Same with "under water" views. If I had to do without those would be my choice.
T-class were very close to the Gatos + also. the Ps, Salmon class may have been the most different from the other 'fleet boats' but still should not have been that much. They may have had one scope accesable from the control room rather than both in the conning tower and only one engine room rather than the two of the later classes. (I do not believe we will have entrior shots of the torp rooms so 4 or 6 forward or 2 or 4 aft should not be that much at all other than adding to whatever we are given for firing controls.) The S-Boats on the other hand had the most difference and would take the most time to develope intrior graphics vs the others, but yes should be included.
I still think it can be accomplished without to much trouble if we keep the Gatos+ differences to a bare minimum and Ts are very close that they could in fact get away with almost the same shots. The Ps and Salmons would need more of a change and of course the S-Boats so maybe just three different views?
We'll see what the finished product is. Can wish though!
Happy Hunting
