First View SHIII FUR Koing und Kaiser

[iambecomelife]

Excellent news about the period ships. After all, the likes of "Rodney" and "King George V" would have looked badly out of place in 1914.

BTW, I will post info on WWI U-Boat ace tonnages tomorrow, if you haven't already obtained it from another source.

For AH commanders, submarines pictures, plans and details, look here:

the year is seemingly hard coded, cant change that so it seems. I can make the year 1914 but the war is still years in the future to start

That's sad. I would suggest then to edit the menus in a way that the year is not visible, only day and month. For the starting year/Flotilla screen you could try to change the labelling, that one would probably work. Also, have you tried if further years are possible? If you could have a campaign go from 1944 to 1948 you could then use only the ifnal number or even put a graphic overlay where the numbers appear hidding it and turning it into "191..." showing only the last number.

They were able of angle shots except the very early types which were hardly used on u-boats.

The latest G/7 could make up to 37 kn and reached 4000 m at this speed. Speed could be also set to 27 kn and reached then 9000 m. All types had a good visible bubble trail. Calibre was 50 cm. Old types were of 45 cm calibre.

I am glad someone is finally making a WWI mod for SH. What's the status of it ? :hmm:

[Wolf359]

Really great work USS Sea Tiger!!

Are we able in K.u.K. play's with A-U side or only with Imperial Germany?

I keep my eye on your progress with K.u.K mod

Ahoy

In a combination with already reached successes, this invention will surpass Shells Of Fury. I will look forward!
My interest to submarines WWI even above, than in WWII.

And here (if it is interesting) you can download the book (in Russian) Taras. А.Е "Submarines of Great war 1914-1918". The book represents the description of operations, designs of submarines, mechanisms, a lot of schemes and photos. Only it is a pity that there are no drawings... http://rapidshare.com/files/47080383...-1918.rar.html

"A series of devices was produced at Fiume, from 14" upward. The largest Whitehead torpedo was 18 inches (457 mm) in diameter and 19 feet (5.8 m) long, made of polished steel or phosphor-bronze, with a 200 lb (90 kg) gun-cotton warhead."
