Game-related as in this game or games in general? First is exactly what I had in mind, second would be a bit off topic for SH5 Mod Workshop forum.

Holy smoke, this is fantastic. Gap, Kapuhy, Rosomaha, thanks for your efforts of keeping the game 'above water' and interesting. Incredibly cool.

Thank you too Oby

I have no information of Clyde puffers lost due to U-boat attacks, nonetheless those small boats actually played an "official" role in the Battle of the Atlantic since a number of them was requisitioned and impressed in Royal Navy service as engined naval lighters. Moreover, between 1942 and 1945 a class of RN auxiliary vessels, the Victualling Inshore Craft was purpose-built after the plans of two typical puffers.

For more on that, the following website has a list of puffers and VICs with short stories and basic specs:

SH-related of course

the possible subcategories that come to my mind are: ships/boats, submarines, aircraft, armaments (guns, mortars, racks, throwers, etc.), ordnance (bombs, depth charges, torpedos, rockets, mines, etc.), U-boat equipment, beacons (lighthouses, day marks, buoys, etc.), buildings and landscape features (ports, towers, churches, bridges, coastal defense emplacements, rocks, etc.)

That's exactly what I had in mind, making one place where new or returning modder could find both information on what is currently being done and resources/guides that will be useful in creating new assets (be it ships, planes, equipment or other things).

I'm a little short on time until Christmas, but then I'll try to compile links to resources I've found, and whatever useful hints I've learned on making SH5 units.

Very nice and well done boat Gap , accurate and detailed thank you very much

Okay, in the meanwhile we could prepare an idex of all the SH5-relate 3D stuff in the making, inviting other modders to post their updates there

Thank you too for your encouragement mate
