Type 7A for SH3?

kyle9154 · 06-05-22, 06:29 PM

Seeing that this mod is very interesting to me, going to bring this thread to life again and see if this model has been completed or if it can be. I know a lot of people would like to see a properly modeled VIIA in game to use in early war campaigns, iirc Jeff was close to having a finalized version of this (a functioning external rear torpedo hatch, Type VIIA Turm, VIIA speed and fuel stats etc he had already done). Any chance of starting this work up again Jeff? If you need people to test a WIP model for you in patrols then count me in, whatever helps it move along to a full release.

I actually had the 3D models open today to check where I was at!
I retired from my Job so have LOTS more time to work on some old stuff.

I have a few things to finish the front of the Hull for a next release.
Then going to rebuild the rear torpedo tube area and add some animation work there.

Bro that's awesome news, congrats on your retirement!!!! i'll be following this thread very closely in anticipation.
PM anytime if you need extra bodies to test things.

I'm a bit OCD about adding stuff so it's not detectable from a true SH model as released.
I'll also add water drain stuff to the next release. I have all that just need to plant it in the file and do the ID stuff.

My first new Unit for SH3 was the River Class.
That was a kit bash from other stuff.
The 7A started from the SH5 7A.
That thing is SO WRONG that I started modding it to look more accurate.
Once done for SH3? I'll port it to SH4 then update SH5's version.

Yeah man, that's good news indeed...just make sure I get first dibs on testing when you feel the SH3 model is ready
