If it's a "real guess" it's impressive Hitman !
Yes it is for real I just did what real Kaleuns did , although having experience as sailor (Like they had) and seeing a real ship of course would help refining the data. I suspected it would be around 140-150 metres long, the huge simplification of the formula I use for the "53" divider is of course not perfect, but seems close enough for a "fixed wire" speed measurement -again as it was done in real life-

Cheers

EDIT: Oh and I forgot to add: The ship shown in the real picture by AOTD_MadMax is much smaller. I count only three cargo bays, so again the formula would be 1500x2 + approx 1000 = 4000

4000/53= Roughly 75 metres

My guess for the ship in the pic would be then:

4000 tons

Bridge= 10 metres

Mast= 30 metres

75 metres length

15-17 knots

Hi,

i have reworked the ship a bit and the time for release is comming nearer.
I have changed the draft and the weapons and some small fixes.
The only thing that have to be tested is dammage-modell.
Three torpedos must bring this ship down.

Here some mesures :

Tonns : 7600
Lenght : 155
Draft : 7,5
Mast : 34

New Pictures :







I think with the lower draft this vessel looks better !

Greets
