Kriegsmarine H-class battleship

I didn't at all mean to discourage SeaWolf IV from modding Silent Hunter III. By all means model and implement it, I'll be sure to put it in a single mission so I can see it battle it out with British battleships! I'm just saying that the ship's not #1 on my wish-list.

The H-44 was never ever considered for building. It was merely a design study to compare what would be needed to survive current new weapons of 1944, as was H-42 and H-43.
The last design for "H" that was done as a possible build after the war ended was the H-41. After that the personal where transferred to other areas more urgent.
The latter "designs" were studies by a small group for weapon analysis and nothing more.
The simple fact is no facility or harbor in Europe could accommodate such a ship.
That said it would be very cool for any such design to be made for SH3 as a “what if” like the Zep which was never completed.
I would prefer Admiral Scheer, Nuremberg or a County class CA but anyone willing to make the effort should do exactly what ever they want and we will be delighted to add it and be grateful for sharing it.
