GWX + SH3C: compatible mod that adds Type VIIA, Type IIB?

lolballz · 06-16-16, 09:26 PM

Is there a GWX + SH3C compatible mod that adds a playable Type VIIA and Type IIB? I know the differences are minimal between Type IIA and B and Type VII"" ...I'm just kind of wanting historical authenticity (i.e. the Type IIA and VIIB are the earliest playable U-boats in GWX with SH3C, but most of the U-boats available in Wilhelmshaven at the start of the war are historically, by number, Type VIIA - same with the Type II boats available in Kiel being historically, by number, Type IIB).

Wreford-Brown made a Type VIIa mod. It doesn't make your boat look like a VIIa, but it does give the historical speeds and torpedo loadout. There are two versions, one for use without SH3 Commander:

And one for use with SH3 Commander:

I don't think anyone has done the Type IIb, but I could be wrong.

The Type IIB is represented as an AI-controlled sub in GWX, although it uses the IIA model. My understanding is that there was very little 'visible' difference between the IIA and IIB, apart from the IIB being 'slightly' longer in order to accommodate more fuel and extend range. The hull of the Type VIIA, on the other hand, lacked the quintessential 'saddle' tanks of series (these being introduced on the VIIB in response to the VIIA's limited fuel capacity). This gave the hull of the VIIA smoother, more graceful, Type IX-like lines. Also, the conning towers of the VIIA tended to resemble a 'stretched' IIA conning tower. They were elongated in comparison, but had the same smooth conic form and lacked the generous after rail and anti-aircraft armament of the VIIB and VIIC series (on the VIIA, the 20mm was mounted behind the conning tower on the hull).

There is a VIIA 3d version out there.
It works with WB's files.
It still needs finished but it way better then nothing.

Best playable version I have at this time. Not the best 3D Model I have though.
