Due to an impending professional exam this mod is now on hold until the end of July. However, more updates are coming by late Summer.

Expect to see screens of the following:

-Progress on the UB-type coastal submarines. Built from scratch using authentic blueprints.



-New cargo ships, such as the "Salland" that I released in the SH5 forum.

-Various props for a more WWI-ish ambience, like animals, buildings, & villages.

Looks like things are moving along well... i've been busy at my 3d works as well... opened my own 3d website and store... and took over a job as superintedant of my building... it's been hectic... keep up the hard work... and best of luck all...

This mod is wonderful and I can't wait to play it. First World War is much more interesting than the second one. I hope mostly to see the Mediterranean theatre, which should be implemented in the first version of the mod!

To help you with your mod I can recommend you some books:
- "Bis zum letzten flaggenschusch" by Georg von Trapp (english title should be - "Until the last salute to the flag" or something like that; polish title "Do ostatniego salutu banderze").
- Torpedo! Achtung! Los! by Wilhelm Marschall
- Werwolf der Meere. U-64 jagt den Feind by Robert Moraht

These books tell a lot about life of u-boot captain of German and Austro-Hungarian navy and about the nature of submarine warfare of the time.

I have also a question: will there be Russia in the game? If there will be, there must be russian revolution in october and russian ships should become bolshevik ones, and later neutral as the war with Russia was finished.

Also, I recommend several good websites, which you propably already know:

Thank you for the links.

There will be Russian merchant ships in the mod.

There won't be very many unique Russian warships due to time constraints. I may do the "Bayan" class cruisers because one of them (Pallada) was sunk by a submarine. There will be generic gunboats, escorts, etc for navies like Russia that I don't have time to model.

[Arma2_SH4_Fan]

Here because all the nations involved to be there? Russian or french warships?

[Borralla]

It's a very good mod.

I'm waiting to play it.

Kommt wohl nicht mehr???

You bet your aft dive planes it is!

Major breakthrough: I just figured out how to get a new 3d model of a hat in game; this was once thought to be almost impossible. Although this sounds minor, I can now include historically correct Kaiserliche Marine hats on the lower ranks, instead of giving them the officer's "bus driver" style hats.

This evening I have been working on converting the crew of the "Porpoise" class sub to German uniforms from their USN uni's. No screenshots yet, but stay tuned.

Very nice work, thanks for the update

[FIREWALL]

Just checking in to see how your comeing along. Alot of tremendous work your doing.

This won't be just a Super Mod but, a whole new Game imho.

p.s. I'm glad I did the MultiSH3 set up. I have a fresh SH3 to install this in.

Now this sounds good!

The Royal Navy used a very similar type, but more rigid in shape. This could be useful for the British Sub mod!
