[Mod Release] - Rose Castle Ore Carrier 1.0

[AG124]

I have now officially released the Rose Castle Ore Carrier to the community, as no problems were reported with the model. The ship is on my FileShare page, the address of which can be found in my signature.

(There are both regular (400 HPs) and NYGM (2160 HPs) .zon files included.

Hi, AG124.
What can you tell about ShipWake?

Anvart :hmm:

[AG124]

I've never been able to move the wake of any ship. With the Rose Castle, that wasn't really a problem though.

hi well came across the rose castle on way back from patrol grid flying the red ensign

aimed for waterline first then let ai crew take over

was a bit odd when it rolled over hull up then broke apart and rolled right way up lol but another great ship to sink thanks

[AG124]

Great image sequence.

The vessel does seem to break in two and capsize quite often. I haven't seen her sink in one piece yet. :hmm:

[bigboywooly]

thanx enjoyed sinking it and the tonnage was 8180 i think - nice boost to a lean patrol - keep supplying em and i will keep sinking em lol

[Myxale]

Great work AG, looks pretty!

Amen to that bigboywooly!

What nations do people recommend get this? So far I hve American, British, Norway, Netherland, and of course Canadian. Mabee Panama and France as well? :hmm:

[AG124]

I would recommend the following nations:

- US
- UK
- Canada
- Greece
- Norway
- Netherlands
- France
- Japan

The following nations would have had some, but probably not many:

- Panama
- Russia
- Germany
- Sweden

And maybe the following nations (but not sure):

- Australia
- Spain
- Portugal
- Ireland
- Argentina

This is a pretty generic looking 7,000 GRT freighter, so it should be assigned to a variety of nations.

[AG124]

BTW - I got an e-mail asking for an ID image with no zones. Here is one, if anyone else wants one.

I have, the NYGM one. One hit between the foreward crate piles and another just aft the stack. Slowly rolled starboard, capsized, and went down in about 35 min. Very Nice. This is an outstanding add-on ship overall. The UV problems are less serious than with the others. Great job.

What about a low contrast, without the hit zone colors?

OK. To about what level should I reduce the contrast?

2 AG124.
If it is necessary for you, I could give you some
the information on adjustment ShipWake.

Anvart :hmm:

[AG124]

Here is a low contrast ID image - please let me know if it is alright.



Anvart, I would indeed like some advice on moving ship wakes - the Chatham model needs its wake moved astern somewhat. :hmm:
