Hi everyone!

I'm glad to release this new mod: Royal Navy Revenge class (HMS Revenge, HMS Resolution, HMS Royal Oak, HMS Royal Sovereign \ Arkhangelsk, HMS Ramillies) battleship.

This is the eighth unit for Royal Navy, reworked in collaboration with flush deck.

Pack include a multi skin unit based on Revenge class with six skins, one for every ship in the class.



Based on SH5's Revenge, converted for SH3 by Kovall, 3d updated using SHV model and parts and a lot of details (portholes, stairs, cables, lifeboats, glass windows\interiors, turning radars\rangefinders...) and some details from Gerome73 and The_Frog, including the reworked library. .zon file reworked with Fifi's help.

Library new version.

Thank you for your report about possibile ID conflict with another unit!


@everyone: Thanks to Fifi, i've found a possibile ID conflict about HMS Revenge. I've tested in mission the involved ships, nothing strange appeared. Anyway, i've reuploaded the Revenge BB with new IDs, in order to prevent any risk =)

Thank you everyone!

Best regards,

Excellent work ! Funny coincidence, the WoWS model of HMS Royal Sovereign was released just a few days ago on a Russian test server.

Well, when i started this work, WOW's model wasn't available yet, and i must admit it's an hell of model. But, if i'd make Revenge class again today, i guess i'll start from SH5 model again. Nothing against WOW superb models, but i've in mind my medium/old pc, and rework and mount similar beasts in an old pc in a 20 years old pc game appear something strange, someway "heavy" to me. But, why not, maybe someone will convert WOW version too, and people will be free to choose. "More options" is always good =)

Best regards,
Vd

It was "the German submarine U-331, commanded by Oberleutnant zur See Hans-Diedrich von Tiesenhausen". ... U-331 thus passed through the screen and was in a position to fire her torpedoes after the leading ship, Queen Elizabeth, had passed her by and the second ship, HMS Barham, was closing rapidly. Tiesenhausen ordered all four bow torpedo tubes fired at a range of 375 metres (410 yd)." "Wikipedia."
The rest is History.

U30 (KUrtz) and HMS Ramillies is another matter!
Thanks again VonDos!
Great work.

Hi VonDos,

Can I ask you to make a similar historical coloring as an add-on?
