Was IJN Tone ever been properly created for SH4?

I had to re-do the video upload twice. You know what they say about "the third time is a charm"... I gave up on the third start and just went to bed last night, and let the system sit. Anytime the humidity gets up a little bit around the area here, we lose our good connectivity to the ISP. Oh well... The video is active finally. Edit: Now that I've looked at it, I forgot to include the "footage" of the FotRSU Tone!... sheesh... oldmanitis strikes again!

I realize and appreciate all the work needed to do just the "little" test mod you did, and by "little", I mean, there is a LOT of work involved. Folks don't realize how much there is to do, just to do little tweaks to a ship. Great work there JapLance! I'm satisfied with it as it stands now, but if you do some improvements, that would be fantastic. ZUIKAKU1944 and noshiro did the Katori and the Nagara / Isuszu a while back, and I remember their discussions concerning hull shape and superstructure components. Nice detailing on ships that are also included in FotRSU. Like you mention though, most submarine skippers won't notice the AA battery, nor the differences between a Mogami and a Furutaka, much less a Tone and a Mogami, other than maybe "Oh, look! It has four turrets forward!", but you can really only see that from basically a 90° shot, so don't sweat the details too much...

- It looks great as-is.
