Kriegsmarine Maps reworked...

Jan Kyster · 03-22-11, 11:35 PM

This has previously been posted in both SHIII and SHV forums, but some may not visit either

so here's some info I updated today...

This is a reworked map collection.
Many of the KM Maps were found in PDF-format, these have now been converted to jpeg-files instead.

In this MediaFire folder you'll find the following files:

KM_Maps_JPG_I - content 21 maps (see note below for index, 183MB)
KM_Maps_JPG_II - content 12 maps (see note below for index, 194MB)
Sea_Maps_historic - content 63 maps (8.5MB)
WW2_NG_Maps - content 22 maps *) (3.3MB)

Note that the KM maps are full sized!

If you have access to a plotter, you can have these printed in their original sizes, like 2x2 meters or more...

The two KM packages...

Since MediaFire limits filesize for free accounts to 200MB, I had to split the reworked JPEGs into two downloads, KM_Maps_JPG_I and KM_Maps_JPG_II.

Here's an index of the two downloads:

KM_Maps_JPG_I:

Low-res B/W maps:
Atlantic, Central and South
Atlantic, North
Atlantic, West
Baltic Sea
Black Sea
England
World Map Grid
Mediteranean Sea
Northern Theatre
Pacific Ocean
Siberian Sea Route

Hi-res org. colored maps:
Grid Overlay Sheet
Grid Sheet
KM No 1851G Ostsee (Baltic)
KM No 1859 skagerak
KM No 1870 North Atlantic Ocean
KM No 1889G London
KM No 1902 Denmark
KM No 1931G Mozambique and Madagascar
KM No 3100 Ostsee (Baltic) North Half

Direct link to package KM_Maps_JPG_I: http://www.mediafire.com/?udnqyp30p3bdar4

KM_Maps_JPG_II:

Hi-res org. colored maps:
KM No 3100 Ostsee (Baltic) Southern Half
KM No 3270 English Channel
KM No 3401 Atlantic Grid
KM No 3451 NewFoundland
KM No 3465 North Polar Sea
KM No 3486 Amazon
KM No 3497 Long Island to Cape Canaveral
KM No 3531 Kongo
KM No 3735 Baluchistan North Half
KM No 3735 Baluchistan South Half
KM Norway North 1945
KM Norway South 1945

Direct link to package KM_Maps_JPG_II: http://www.mediafire.com/?mhm9x0oh7v8h11n

So if you want a complete collection, you'll need to download each package.

Speaking of complete... haven't been able to track anymore maps, so if you know of any, please share!

*) The National Geographics maps are poorly photographed copies and are solely uploaded to show the amount of map knowledge and details used "back then" and I can only encourage you to do a search for National Geographics Magazines to buy the original magazines or buy the NGM collection on http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/

Before I download this mod, what exactly do these maps do in terms of game play?

(p.s. I am coming to the conclusion that OM/OMEGU/Kiub may be the best supermod out there. I have had some interesting adventures. The mod that adds ship's fires when target's are hit add good stuff to the game, too.)

drakkhen20 · 04-13-11, 01:31 AM

i believe these are printable nav maps. i don't think they are for ingame use. i believe i've downloaded before for sh3. although this could be another mod i'm thinking about.

Jan Kyster · 04-13-11, 01:35 AM

Well, you could print the one(s) where you patrols takes you.
Then plot your course and write notes on it for your patrol reports...

These maps are not mods, but real historic maps.

As a single sample, here's the KM Map 3401 Atlantic Grid (188x145cm, 11MB): http://www.mediafire.com/?gq0x9w29936n3cc

Looks like a great map. I debating whether I will use it. It looks like it might result in a lot of work for my crew. I may have to get my wife on it.

Jan Kyster · 04-13-11, 02:46 AM

That's just one of the maps - see post one for complete list.

And good luck with your wife!

Can't wait for the damage report...

Wilcke · 04-13-11, 11:15 AM

Well done! Thanks!

Oh, there will be damage, a couple of broken ribs at least.

That one gave me a bit of a flash-back...

Lost my beloved VIIC there after the longest and most tense night... one early summer morning in 1944...

Thanks for sharing your wonderful stuff!
