HMS Queen Elizabeth

[Cavour]

Good Morning, Subsim!

Is possible to have a QE class BB (Like Barham, Valiant, or Warspite) ?

Someone is interested in mod one?

[Paul.Saenger]

The search function is your friend.....

There is already one in the works.

Iambecomelife is working on this project; isn't he? ^_^

[Paul.Saenger]

I think so, though I believe it has taken a backseat priority to the Merchant Fleet Mod.

[Jimbuna]

A QE class is probably the last major ship that is a real 'must have'....up to now people have had to make compromises.

But one day....hopefully

[Cohaagen]

The real question is - once it's out, who's going to volunteer to go through the campaign files updating all the T/Fs?

I think the reason a QE has been so long coming is that SH3 has an international modding community, and non-UK modders naturally prioritise their national fleet even though the de facto enemy is the RN. Hence we get the Georgios Averof and loads of Italian ships. It is nice to have the Greek flagship in there as a symbol of their resistance but, um, has anyone ever seen her while on patrol? Ever? There were five QE ships, one of which was sunk by a U-boat for God's sake!

To be honest I think we'll see the Millenium Falcon before we see a model of the Warspite et al.

I've found Averof a lot of time

She's doked in est's north-africa harbours (tobruk, or alessandria, i don't remember now);

Millennium Falcon? This can be a great mod idea, but with imperial cruiser also!:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

BTW, if there is a WIP (promised is the right word, i think) QE BB Class, isn't a little "useless" to work another one?

I am working on the QE issue mate.....I will get back to you as soon as is humanly possible.

Awaiting permissions

The logical work-around would be that one person handles the Valiant/QE group, and the other handles either a Warspite or Barham/Malaya model. You have three subtypes in one class of ship, though two would suffice for simplicity's sake given the similarity between Warspite and QE/Valiant.

See here for comparisons: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...0&postcount=14

Oooh, it's all getting exciting!

QE class will be exelent addition and no doubt value must have for SH3. Actualy, we didn't see any new capital ships for SH3 for a while

Becides there is a list of targets... vessels for Royal Navy in SH3 yet to be done.

HMS Furious (still WIP by Sergbuto) with possible extention to HMS Glorious and her sistership
HMS Renawn (possible conversion and addition for HMS Repulse mod)
HMS Ajex (could be remodeled from Dido)
HMS Arethuse (could be reworked from Dido)
NMAS Perth (WIP by Iambecomealive)
HMS Belfast

It is nice to have the Greek flagship in there as a symbol of their resistance but

It can be easily reworked into KMS Schlezien. Her guns started WW2

Millennium Falcon? This can be a great mod idea, but with imperial cruiser also!:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

It would be nice to have breaking to Die Neue Schwabia as final mission. At least there is The Flying Dutch in SH4

You have a PM

[VonDos]

Thanks!

The Leander and Arethusa class would be great additions too, however, the sheer scale and complexity of the Royal Navy in WWII was enormous. Even with those ships we'd still be missing the Hawkins, Danae, Minotaur, York, Emerald and WWI-era 'C' class cruisers, innumberable destroyer, frigate, sloop and corvette classes - Castle class corvettes and the Kingfisher sloops to name but two - the monitors (very impressive ships), about a dozen carrier classes, and countless support ships.

Really, a C or D class model would be a nice addition. Variety could be implemented by different weapones.

[Jimbuna]

Anyone remember the monitors, Roberts and Abercrombie ?
