[REQ] More Detailed American Submarine Compartments

Patchman123 · 08-29-12, 09:58 AM

Anyone interested in having American submarines like the Gato Class and Balao Class, Tench, Growler, and S Class submarines have like forward torpedo rooms depicted, crew quarters, engine room, and everything else? I would like to see the forward torpedo room, instead of this green screen thingy that when you click on it, crashes the game. It's a terrible sight. I would like to see the forward torpedo rooms, crew quarters, and engine compartments depicted and a better job of damage control, where the crews just don't sit around and wait for the submarine to take on water. I would like to also have these quarters so that I can see the damage myself.

I would like to see the enlisted men that are the heart of the submarine. The other men that I never see on the ship. I never get to see the submarine in its full glory.

I would like to see the full submarines.

This would be a dream come true! I believe it was Flackmonkey who made extra compartments and animated engine room for SH3. Seeing that, makes me want to reinstall SH3 again! I wish someone could do that here.

Me too!
Some had tried, but, if I am correct, it always was a "lone wolf" effort, and most likely for u-boats

Maybe if a team could get together to do it, such project could be finally done.

Captain America was working on just this sort of thing a while ago. He seemed to be making great progress, but disappeared and hasn't been seen since. A tragic victim of burnout, I suppose. There were some really beautiful screen shots posted.

I had been looking forward to drifting off to sleep in the Captain's cabin, as the diesels hum.....

It's all there in that tmo gato interior mod except for the light switch I'm tired of tripping over stuff in there, how hard is it to put a light bulb in there.

Your crew must be really stingy to not allow you a light bulb, though now I think about it....If you get depth charged a lot it might explain their getting back at you

Now for a more series note, Having better compartments is needed, bout time we had a decent interior for all subs, I'm looking to model a bridge for my IJN Musashi mod, going to have here as highly detailed as possible.

let me know if anyone makes any progress on this, I would surely like to follow your idea. Keep up the good work

Ahh, I play RFB, so I was unaware of this.

you can download the tmo gato interior here in subsim downloads, I believe Dimiscus made it looks to have some very good detail just click on the forward hatch in the control room very dim light though

A nice pilot house for ships would be nice, I like the fletcher and the brooklyn mods they have a nice bridge deck but, due to the lack of a pilot house it takes away from the realism, I know it's just a game but I'm spoiled with destroyer command and the surface mods of sh3, which have pilot houses.
