This list should include among the others: destroyers, minelayers, destroyer escorts, frigates, corvettes, sloops, submarine chasers, minesweepers, naval trawlers, torpedo boats, patrol vessels, patrol aircraft, carrier-based bombers and fighters and scout planes.



- creating a list of the main ASW weapons that we want to be featured in our mod with their specs, measures and (possibly) drawings, and with approximate introduction and disposal dates. This list should include sea- and airborne depth charges, bombs used in the anti-submarine role, torpedoes and rockets as well as their relevant dropping/throwing/launching gear. As far as depth charges and A/S bombs are concerned, I am at good point with this task. Later today or tomorrow I will post here my list.



- for each of the featured ships, researching number, arrangement, type and mark of ASW armamenets fitted aboard, also taking in account mid- and late-war refits. Probably padi has already collected most of this information.



- for each of the featured ships and aircraft, researching historical ammo outfits and bomb loads. Again, as far as ships and number of depth charges carried on them are concerned, I think the current version of ASW Mod is a good base to start from for creating such a list.

First, we have to agree on which mods we want to focus on. I would suggest WAC and GWX for first with focus on WAC because it is the newest, what do you two think?

I'm creating list one for WAC in the following days, easter is family day...
After that is finished I create list three and then the same for the other basemods that we agree on.

Sounds good to me

In my previous post I forgot to ask what was your experience when you attempted to model the Mark X DC in game

It was only beginner-style...
I had attemted to include a depthcharge-fire controller to the torpedo tubes and have added them into the .eqp.
As I know now that couldn't work...

Okay, in future we will work on it. Now, as you said, time for our families
