It's one of the most boring jobs I ever did. A nightmare :-(

kind of my findings from beeing part in game development:

...and when it all starts to be a routine...when the sparks of the first euphoric waves are gone, the blitz girls are history...the allday same work penetrates u, then it will show, who really is a captain. who keeps highly concentrated in touch with the convoy and sink the ships even the way was a boring nightmare!

Beautiful vessel!

I actually thought you had shaped the bow wrong - then I noticed it was a black part of the camouflage scheme to fool the enemy.

I like that you have the pennant on the hull - very annoying that Silent Hunter III, IV, and V failed to include this basic detail on escort ships. Nice work.

One suggestion - tone down the bright yellow color of the life rafts. Paintings and color film I have seen seems to show these were usually a dark grey or brown, and did not stand out like modern lifesaving equipment. Of course, if you have a source telling you differently, then disregard.

Can you point me to a war time picture which shows the color?

See, for example:

Corvette (?) at 0:19

Nearest Liberty Ship to the camera at 1:23

Tanker at 6:47

HMCS "St. Laurent" (H83) at 7:12

There are lots of very nice pictures here too; they seem to have left the rafts grey or painted them in the relatively flat green/blue/white colors of their camo scheme. The artist was not 100% sure of colors, but based on other sources his colors for HMS "Bluebell" are correct, so I think these drawings are trustworthy:

By the way, I really hope you do the older version of the Flower Class with the large enclosed bridge, like the first ship below (pennant K220) - I have never seen them in any WWII naval game since "Aces of the Deep". Maybe they could be scripted to go out of service gradually, as the type was modified? Anyways, great work.

HMS Borage K120
1942

Another Flower fitted for minesweeping is HMS Borage. She, however, has the 'LL' (magnetic) minesweeping gear on the stern, and an 'acoustic hammer' on the bow. This was a bucket fitted to the end of of an A-frame which could be lowered into the water. A weight was dropped into the bucket setting off a load noise which it was hoped would detonate any acoustic mines in the area


HMS Pennywort K111
March 1942
