Awesome VonDos! Could I add it as "merchant", not scripted?

Many thanks for the work.

But… I think I will not add it to my NYGM, because unfortunately if we respect his historical travel, we have great chance to never see it…
Anyway looks very good

Thank you for your kind words!! Sure, fell free to use or not her. In my installation, i've used her to replace the generic GeAuxCruiser. But you're absolutely right about Pinguin lifespan =)

As a type 13 unit, auxiliary cruiser, this ship is used by sh3 as a military unit, so script is required. You can use it as "merchant" civil ship, changing the unit type from 13 to 102, in her cfg file and into roster file too. The ship will be moved from Kriegsmarine to german merchant fleet.


Best regards everyone!!

Of course, and it’s probably what I will finally do
Way too nice model to be left over!

HSK_Pinguin.sns is missing...

Yep, i know.
It may seem strange, but there's a reason.
Pinguin had not particular sensors, so, the only one i could add could be:

[Sensor 1]
NodeName=O01
LinkName=AI_Visual

Who is the standard Visual sensor.

In the absence of such a sensor, however, if I'm not mistaken the ship will be incentivized not to fire first, and wait for prey, or enemy warships, to approach.
A sensible behavior, I think, for an auxiliary cruiser.

But, if you think that .sns is needed, please let me know

Best regards,
Vd

I don't think so.

Many thanks! I can script the ships in campaign, but I´m waiting the next iteration of NYGM by FiFi, so I prefer to add it scripted in the next version. Now I´ll add it as "merchant".

Best regards.

You're welcome!


@for everyone: as someone asked, me i reploaded the ship with a .sns file, including some sensors to use in late war, for use the ship as a "generic" auxiliary cruiser (so, beyond 1941 when pinguin was sunk).

If you're not interested in use her after her sunk date, you can also delete this .sns file (in order to incentive the ship to not attack first), or you can keep it, as you want (in this case, the ship will attack enemy ships first).
Your choice.

Best regards,
Vd

Beautiful job .... though it's funny to call such a deadly vessel beautiful! Incredible how successful they were in real life, with one of them sinking a cruiser (Kormoran).

How did you get the sides to drop down when the ship opens fire? Did you set them up as dummy guns?

Thank you so much! Yep, i remember the end of the unlucky HMAS Sydney.

Actually, they're static in down position. I made some tests in order to make them open with Komet cruiser, but actually i can't manage to open them in syncro with guns activation.
