The Lusitania tribute video has been updated to include an improved soundtrack, and minor edits to the narration. I highly recommend you view this version, even if you've seen the old one... Link is below:

With respect to UE-2 boats, maybe. I will need to add mines to the player's inventory. This doesn't worry me because it has been done before for another mod. Because the number of torpedo types is scripted at about 12, for simplicity's sake I will only use one type of mine to equip all U-Boats. The other torpedo slots need to be saved for all other torpedoes that will appear ingame. Sorry if you're a WWI mine fanatic. Some updates to the environment. You can see the improved land textures....the location is off the infamous Old Head of Kinsale (still need to place the lighthouse there, which was built some years before 1915). I tweaked existing environmental mods for TMO and the SH3 water for SH4. I used to not be able to have clouds with the SH3 water mod - as you can see, this glitch has been resolved. I may add more of a green-gray tone to the water later on.

in this site there's a map of the Iberian Peninsula. I made this map because Portugal was an important state in ww1. on march 9th 1916 Germany declared war against Portugal; during the war 115 merchant ships were sunk by german u-boats, but importan were the destroyers and the armed merchant cruisers that sank a lot of german and K.u.K. ships in mediterranean sea and atlantic oceans and the famous "Action of 14 octouber 1918" where the u-cruiser U-139 sank the portuguese armed drifter NRP Augusto Castilho. These are the mayor warships of portuguese navy: Adamastor class CL Tejo class DD (similar than the italian Audace class) Douro class DD armed drifters |

Thanks; I saved the image to my HD.
I'm in good shape with drawings of US ships; I have a copy of "Conway's All the World's Fighting Ships" covering WWI. Yes, there will be sailing vessels and combination sail/steam-powered ships. And thank you for the Portuguese ship images; that model is quite detailed.

to make a mine you only need to make a torpedo that has no guidance, speed and sink rate. you just have to set an appropriate "hovering" depth and add a mine 3d-model. this is how the mines in "battle for the baltic" are done

Sailors I found this interesting ship, theCoastal Motor Boat. these where the first MTB of the Royal Navy; they entered in the war on late 1916 and served in the North Sea against the german ships and submarines.
Displacement: 4,5 tons lenght: 14 m max speed: 28,8 kn complement: 3 or 2 sailors armament: 1 × 18-inch torpedo, 2 × .303 Lewis machine guns and 4 deep charges. I hope that you' ll use this ship in the mod. [IMG][/IMG] Last edited by Kapitain Oliver Leinkraunt; 06-09-15 at 03:53 PM. |

hi IABL, are you going to put in British submarines? So we can shoot and sink them.

Some time ago I posted some images of the Ottoman Navy, but they were not very detailed, so I found that:
Hamidiye class cruiser (Abdul Hamid) Yarhisar class TB (Samsun) So these are the japanese ships that arrived at Malta on april 1917: Lider cruiser Nisshin (Garibaldi class) 2 Suma class cruiser Momo class DD Koba class DD Last edited by Kapitain Oliver Leinkraunt; 06-10-15 at 11:55 AM. |
