Aleutians - 2 missions -

ps I'm playing from Manilla in 41, glad to be rid of those hours sailing from Pearl !

PS 2 : as for the balao problem, I don't know... I only play the Class T when I load the mod....


Here is the patch :

Thats a British Boat isn't it? Sweet!

Any chance to have AI one?

Its the T-Class sub from GWX 2.0, I should know - I made the model, one of my first proper 3d models in fact (and im sorry to say it kinda shows)
Hopefully some one will build a better looking one in the future.
If it helps, the T-class with 10 tubes (1st group) carried 16 torpedos total, the 4 external tubes could not be reloaded, the 6 internal bow tubes had one reload each.

GerritJ9 sent me the GFX T class sub for SHIII
http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/show...=137856&page=2

So that's where it came from I have to check but I received it from Mikhayl or Xantro I think, anyways it states in the credits file that it comes from GWX since day one that I worked on it, now I'll be able to cite you personnally.

If you look more closesly you'll notice I modified the rear tubes into amidship ones, punches holes for the bow doors, made the doors and the tubes, in the other tower (the type T model 2) I added a hatch, and a nice wheel, etc...

I think it is a pretty good mesh, thanks for making it in the first place

I didn't manage to get 4 non reloadable tubes, I might try and link them to an empty rear bunker, think that's what I did with the other one (zwaardvisch), did you see it ?

Dagon's currently making a U type sub.

I just pm'ed Ju_88

Keltos

You should have asked first
What if he didnt want you to use ?

[Schultzy]

I love British boats and I'm so grateful that it was made in the first place and that Keltos did all he's done to get it into SH4.

Brilliant!!

Thanks guys!

the only possible addition you could make to that sub would be a rotating 4 tube deck mounted torpedo launcher for 360 degree targetting.

no more would you not have a perfect shooting angle.

:rotfl:

why didn't they think of that huh ?

[keltos01]

it looks as though even the aa gunner is there now (version 1.6.2 with patch shown)

Nice work, I think you have just convinced me to buy SH4 (especially since I can't get SH3 to run on my new Vista 64 bit machine).

Your work is is beyond anything I could do and I am in awe. Don't take the inof below below as criticism, just as more info available on the T-Class.

Anyway, I was doing some research and found out that the Class T Group 2 had the amidships tubes firing to the rear. The Group 1 vessels had the 10 foward firing tubes (6 reloadable). During the war, most were refitted with the single aft tube at the stern. The Group 2 ships had the amidships tubes moved aft and pointed astern. Some of the group 1 vessels also had that mod done as well.

Here are some pics:

HMS TORBAY secured to a buoy in Plymouth Sound fitted with an external stern tube, 20mm Oerliken and radar (group1 with forward firing amidships tubes).


HMS TURBULENT on the outboard side, moored up to another T-Class. TURBULENT has the later tube configuration but the inboard vessel has the stern tube added, but the earlier amidships tubes.


Better pic of the aftfiring tubes:


Some good info here on the T-Class: http://home.cogeco.ca/~gchalcraft/sm/TClass.html but I got most of my info from the book Submarines of World War II published by the Naval Institue Press (1977).

One good point mentioned is that many boats of the second group were modified for employment in the Far East, by transforming several ballast tanks into fuel tanks, thereby increasing fuel load from 132 to 230 tons, and surface range from 8,000 to 11,000 miles at 10 knots. This increase in range, essential in a theatre where it took a week or more to get from base to operating area, together with increased stores capacity, enabled long patrols to be carried out: the record was achieved by Tantalus with 56 days, 40 of which were in the patrol area. Guess that would mean some kind of data file mod.

Also, I have read that the two Dutch boats were ex-HMS Talent and ex-HMS Tarn, both of the later design.

Like I said, this is not meant as criticism, just passing on more info.

much appreciated

I have made an 11 tubes class T : the Zwaardvisch, which had one stern tube, two amidship firing aft and eight forward tubes :
v1.9.1_Hr_MS_Zwaardvisch_e.rar

I encountered the following problem : although I was able to implement the 11 tubes, the TBT does cause CTD on that model..

Version 1.6 of that mod doesn't have the extra stern tube, thus no TBT problem but has issues which have been resolved in the 1.9.1 version.

The sub displayed here has two versions : one with the early mast, version 1.6.1, and this one 1.6.2 with masts removed. The original mesh was made by JU_88, I just modified it (tubes, doors, added stuff..).

I didn't try to add the extra stern tube on this model until the TBT crashes to desktop is resolved, although I know that some had that extra tube fitted while retaining the 10 forward tubes.

a free book on the T class is available for download on my page as well :

http://files.filefront.com/wwwSTADTA.../fileinfo.html

you then have the choice between two types of class T, I personally like the 10 forward shooting tubes

though the Zwaardvisch isn't a bad one !

I set the range at 11000 for all boats I think, the earlier class portrayed here has a shallower diving depth due to its riveted design vs the later welded one.
