Please, suggestions!

A beautiful extra unit is always welcome! This could also have 3 funnels according to some photoes!

Do you have a link for Conte Verde anyway?

VonDos · 09-24-08, 10:24 AM

Update after hours of work ^_^
See the new image, and please, suggestions!

If it is for LACONIA itself then ok. But as we can see from U-boat.net the liners of 10000-15000 had a similar design and in time from this can jump up others.

For the moment I would say that the freeboard needs some lowering???

That is by far the best modded liner (and one of the best modded ships) released so far. Well done.

I agree that the funnel rake should be reduced a little bit but everything else looks very nice.

Thanks, mates!

This is first sea trial:

There are some errors (flag, bow lifeboats, wakes)

What is funnel's correct angle for you?

Laphroaig75 · 09-24-08, 03:00 PM

Looking very nice. The bridge (is that correct in english ?) might be smaller as the picture of Laconia shows. Looks very massive in your design not as gracile as the original. But anyhow, good work !
