Lovely model of a beautiful class of ships.

Master work!

@leitender: the radar equipment in the *.sns is that of the British escorts in SH3; it's historically not correct.

@WTCC: there are nice models of the late-war Flowers converted from SH4/5. The model of the Blacks Swans is one better SH3 models. Town class destroyers are not in the original SH3, only in GWX. I consider doing a model but not so soon; I have other plans.

@JapLance: some progess with the E class?

Hi the_frog,
I integrated jaxa´s information into the sns-file. Please feel free to use it for your Grom mod

Hallo Leitender,

just saw your post. Thanks for the file. I am going to use it, and whoever likes it may use it, too

Hi Leitender,

thanks a lot for the link

I have found some information there for which I was looking for a long time, i.e., the heating time for the G7e torpedo.

For quite some time now I have two speed/range settings for the electric torpedoes in order to simulate preheated and cold batteries. However, my problem always was that I did not know how long it took to heat the batteries and thus, when to use which setting. Now I have a new house rule: Only after being in contact for more than 4h I will use the preheated setting

Regards, LGN1

The_Frog: I´m sorry for continuing that off-topic chat...

Hi LGN1,

I´m glad that you´ve found some news on that really loving site. Concerning the heating time I remember two ranges: about 3.000m unheated and up to 5.000m when the torpedo was heated (TII). My own idea was to use the SH3 Commander to set the range randomly between 3 und 5km, because getting contacts is random controlled too, so one cannot prepare for it. But I´ve never implemented that idea.

Your solution is really... hardcore! I´m sure I wouldn´t have the discipline to wait for 4 hours to get a hot torpedo...

That´s for ironman simmers, really! Geil!

Btw manos included a small fix in his MaGui mod for the torpedo speed. 2 speed settings were corrected. Have you noticed that? Otherwise I can send you a Torpedo.sim file where I have included all that information I´ve found here and elsewhere.

Greetings from Leitender

Hi Leitender,

I use two settings for the TII and TIII torpedo in torpedo.sim:

TII(cold, speed setting 1): 28kn/3000m
TII(heated, speed setting 2): 30kn/5000m

TIII(cold, speed setting 1): 28kn/4500m
TIII(heated, speed setting 2): 30kn/7500m

From now on I will only switch to the heated speed if I have been in contact for more than four hours.

Anyway, back to topic... (sorry, the_frog

)

Cheers, LGN1
