Thanks for all the comments guys! I am planning to have Turkish and Austro-Hungarian awards. Other ideas sound nice too...about artwork, I think I will have young ladies offer you their "miniatures" (miniature portraits) if you become famous. IIRC that was considered a romantic thing to do in the early 1900's. Stuff to ponder as I work on the next unit....it's very low poly at this point and has errors but the final version will be improved.
Conning tower is basically a crude placeholder to give me an idea of scale, &c. I decided to do the 23 vent hole variant of this U-BOOT...lots of minor design variation depending on who built them.....Imagine charging the enemy with just two torpedoes... ...After letting loose you'll be strafing with your tiny machine gun - lol...Still they sank quite a haul, including "Royal Edward" etc......a little known disaster of WWI: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMT_Royal_Edward ...So you can get lucky.

Yes the UB-1, I love it; I'm longing to see this boat and the U-63 in game

will be in touch. Admiral VG

Can hardly wait
Ditto, it is great that you have stuck to this project all this time. It will be worth it. Eagerly waiting...

Some ideas for rewards..
If you were lucky enough to sink a Japanese ship you could get a Japanese ivory dagger of the Meiji period. If it was a Norwegian ship you could get an Ølhøne, a drinking vessel made out of wood. You could also get a postcard with a description like "After giving coordinates to the survivors to reach the coast and pieces of bread, one of them gave you a postcard, showing his hometown." Because why not some kindness during these dark times. |

Yes! I reworked the cross sections for the UB_I because in reality it was not as spherical as in the screenshots...I am also getting a handle on what souvenirs I want to include....I want reasonable variety, but I don't want to go overboard and have it devolve into a souvenir hunting or collection game like Pokemon...Lol. New screenshots coming soon.

So, Is there going to be a versus fight between a german U boat and a British Sub? Plus will there be the Konig in the 1917 rebuild and the original HMS Hood of 1918?

2) Konig should be in the mod as built, although not top priority for this month. Not sure about later rebuilds. 3) No. HMS Hood will not be in the mod. Hood was not operational until 1920, and ships that never fought in WWI are at the bottom of priorities. There is a good HMS Hood model available for SH3, although I forget who the original creator is.

AWESOME and I understand the HMS Hood isn't priority.

Update to the dialogue box for searching ships, that will pop up via particles.dat when you fire across the bow. I have decided to simplify the number of cargoes & other aspects....By inspecting ships you will be able to make discoveries, retrieve items, capture documents, and even rescue people (these events will be made very rare via campaign scripting...don't expect a ton of loot from every ship).
Of course, always remember when you approach to fire the shot across the bow, it may be a Q-Ship....then, you will be in for the fight of your life. I realized that images of some British Armored Cruiser models were not showing up for some reason; they are reposted below.

A really very impressive project you have here in work. I am already looking forward to the completion of your work, in order to be able to enter a completely new SH world. Quote:
I would love to integrate it into my ModSoup. Where can I get this mod and is there a proper description, so I could equip as example several PT boats with this function? The dream would obviously be Japanese submarines, which can attack the player with torpedoes ... Best regards |

By the way, when the mod is released, when you attack big warships DO NOT EXPOSE YOUR PERISCOPE FOR LONG! Many Armored Cruisers & Battleships had torpedo tubes, and they WILL let you have a tin fish if a lookout sees you.
