A slow evolution to more modern boats and shapes would certainly make more sense.

Yea, that was my hope as well. A later-40s Cold War scenario would be really cool, and unlike modern boats, all the technology neccesary to model boats of that era is already in the game!

i'm comfortable working in 3dsmax and, if it's just a question of making a new sail mesh and using pack3d on the sh4 files (as i'm assuming it would be), would be up to taking a crack at it...
does anyone have any schematics for the various guppy sails?

cheers

edit: of course, the bows were altered on the guppy boats as well, so that's something else to consider (though perhaps after a new sail is implemented... one thing at a time!

)
