They'll not be very common outside ports I imagine, except perhaps in invasion forces...

Just an update. I've been testing it, and it's acting like a boat now (was acting like a cork before

).

I tried setting it as both a Landing Craft (type=15) and as a coastal vessel (type=104).

The former is more "proper" but since there are none in any campaign I know of, you'd never see it.

If the latter, then they show up wherever random type=104 calls are in the campaign. In RSRDC, I think this is only harbors.

Anyway, it's more likely to be seen on deck then—when the mod with that sort of stuff shows up

I put a 13mm MG on one, too. Some did get bow MGs in RL.

Right now, they just have the same sailors on them you see on ships. Not ideal, but that's what I have.

I'll up some pictures for you in a bit

You are of course welcome to use it. The IJN built some collapsable landing craft for use with submarines. The used the propulsion end of torpedoes as the propulsion!

There is the armed version (you can see the gunner at the bow).

I need sergei to help me with getting the skin mapped better I think... then I I can make them look better. Also, I think the splinter shield need more, but smaller windows, and needs perhaps to be smaller period. Close enough, though! (thanks to miner for the great model!)

Send me what you have, I'll take a look
