[WIP] British X-Craft (midget submarine)

flakmonkey · 06-30-07, 04:27 AM

I just could`nt resist modelling one of these beauties.
Im currently adding a scripted instance of operation source to my campaign files, a group of X-craft set out to destroy the Tirpitz which wasd anchored in a fijord.

The X-craft`s only armament consists of 2 1.5ton saddle charges which are released when directly beneath a target.

When running surfaced the helmsman stands on the somewhat exposed deck to use the external helm, not advisable in a storm

+I just love the subs tailfin/rudder assembly, very retro, reminds me of a Jules Verne spaceship

Great job as always, mate...
I wonder if it's going to find its place in the campaign only in order to attack the anchored Tirpitz... :hmm:

Anyway, it's an awesome thing.

How great is that???

If you will release this beauty we (WAC) would like to use this for the attack on the Tirpitz!!
If we could get your permission of course.
Kind regards from Germany

EDIT: Will be AI-sub, wouldn`t be?
What`s about armament? Torpedos? or like real 2 big bombs

If I am not mistaken, those are the subs used to plant the explosives under the Tirpitz, right?
