[WIP] enhanced funnel smoke - Page 7

I agree with all the classifications, except "Medium Cargo" on page 13. It's supposed to represent a modern British cargo ship, which probably would have generated less smoke than average. On the whole, great job.

So Mikhayl is it your intention to finish what von Hesse started? If so then I'm all for it. Looked like a really cool idea to have different smoke for the ships.

Okay, I downloaded the two sections of the manual, but didn't look at it at home last night. Looking at it as I type.

Wow! They've got some nice looking small steamers in their version!

Page 8, ship 1 could go either way. It looks to me like a later steamer, with the slightly fatter funnel which could indicate coal or oil. Hard to say.

Page 10, ship 1 (Large Merchant (7075 t)) is actually very modern, as noted by the raked 'Atlantic' bow. Almost certainly built after 1935, and definitely oil-fired.

Page 11, ship 3: Looks like a late between-the-wars ship to me. Again, the funnel is fatter than the old coal-fired ships, and again it might be either one. You're doing it, so you get to choose.

Same thing with all three ships on page 12: I'd go for oil, as the fatter funnels indicate a newer ship.

Page 13: Of course IABL is right, as he made the ship in the first place. But just looking at the bow I'd call it too modern for coal. And the other two strike me the same way as the previous pages - maybe coal, maybe oil. It was a period of transition, and styles were changing a lot during that time.

Page 19, ship 2: Probably coal. Good to have at least one old liner making smoke, so I'd go for it.

Page 21, ship 1: I don't think so. Again the fatter funnel says newer to me.

Page 44, ships 1 and 2? The battleships. They were definitely oil-fired. Every British battleship was, starting in about 1912 (I'd have to look at my books to say when for sure, but the Revenge is the oldest ship on that page, and they were oil-fired)

Unless you meant page 45, in which case I'd say 1-no and 2-maybe (but probably yes).
