Nice to see that new units still comming

I've tried your new destroyer in the game. Well, this is a beautiful piece of art ! The level of detail is incredible. All is reproduced accurately. Something surprised me a lot : as I didn't see deep charges' launchers on the deck, I approached the ship without discretion, she detected and attacked me.

I think only two things could be improved at the hull : it should be slightly curved in the lengthwise direction : the bow and stern slightly raised. And the windows could be modeled in 3 dimensions.

Many congratulations, you are very talented and perfectionist !! I appreciate people like you. Thanks a lot for sharing your incredible work !!!

@everybody: Thanks for the kind words

@Fahnenbohn:

The hull is slightly bended; the forecastle raises by about 30 cm to the bow; the main deck raises towards aft by about 10 cm. That's very little but I followed the faired lines plan (plan des formes) of Le Fantasque & L'Audacieux as drawn 1930/31 (the historical department of the French navy once provided great scans of original plans and I am happy I downloaded a few). Possibly, you refer to Le Terrible, which had a slightly modified hull and a different shaft layout.

I skipped 3D portholes; the model is already at >100 000 triangles.

@Hunter:

About the time I started with the Le Fantasque BoJohansson started working on Le Vauquelin. I wonder if he completed the model (no furhter information available since the Sukhou forum is down).

@Jeff-Groves:

There another ship on the slipway, with the tentative pennant number J 566
