Was IJN Tone ever been properly created for SH4?

I found a SH3 Tone by Rowi58, but it's a Takao with 4 fwd turrets. I believe this is the one used in FOTRS Ultimate. But that mega-bridge makes it a poor substitute of Tone in my opinion.

Also found references to someone making one long ago here, but apparently nothing came out of it (or at least I couldn't find anything).

If there is no proper Tone available, the stock Mogami can be made to reasonably resemble a Tone with a few changes. I was working on doing that, but if anybody else knows of any other versions I could check before putting some extra effort, he could spare me some time.

I'm not sure if you would get a response from them, but you could try contacting via PM noshiro or ZUIKAKU1944, and see if either of them know of anyone. They did the Isuzu and Katori CL in FotRSU, and have contact with several folks that helped them.

Thanks Propbeanie.

Well, It didn't take me too long to make a Mogami look a bit like a Tone:

Far from perfect, but enough for me

Very nice! I'm going to guess that you started with the Mogami2 and did some heavy editing on the flight deck, superstructure and gun mounts?

Yes, the original Mogami with some editing, but not too much. Hull, bridge, masts etc are all still the original ones.
