And Sea Demon U-48 thanks for the info. It's too bad that shellfire is modeled so simply - from what I can tell there is no calculation of ricochet effects possible.

Will you be making some U.S. ships as well? I have particular fondness of the U.S.S. Brooklyn and U.S.S. Olympia.

Yes - want to try making the USS "San Diego" and her sisters, as well as several destroyer classes. All depends on time and source material.

Hi again folks.
Good to see a WW1 U-boat mod in the works. I just wandered by because I'm trying to find some images of WW1 german U-boat torpedoes for a boardgame project I'm working on (I still haven't recovered enough from my wife losing her job in 2008 to get a decent computer, so it's cardboard and dice for me right now). Anyway, does anyone know what the C35/91, C/06 and G/6 torpedoes looked like? I've been scouring the web and can't find a damned thing. So far, I've taken a stab at creating an image for these three, but it's mostly based on guesswork. I know based on Schwieger's attack on the Lusitania that the older torpedoes (presumably the C35/91s) were referred to as "bronze" torpedoes, so I'm guessing the later ones were steel(?): Torpedoes 2.jpg

I dug through my images and found what I could; not much but I hope it helps. Note my comments: 1) Red-nosed torpedo confirmed to be a World War I G/6. This was the only positive ID I could obtain...sorry about the "dramatic" view. 2) Torpedoes on a U-63 Class submarine. I suspect these blueprints depict the G/6: -The U-63 Class was modern in 1916, and I assume she and her sisters would have had priority for newer torpedoes like the G/6. -The U-63 tubes are of the same caliber as the G/6. (50cm); I doubt the blueprint makers would have shown a new submarine carrying older, sub-caliber torpedoes. Unfortunately, because boats with 50cm torpedoes could (and did) use smaller calibres I can't make a positive ID. 3) A submarine loading torpedoes, unknown date. I suspect the torpedo is a G/6. Based on design features this is definitely a U-19, U-23, U-27, U-31, or U-51 boat. All had 50cm TT armament. 4) A submarine loading torpedoes; date confirmed as 1918. Cannot be a C-35 according to Navweaps.com because all C-35's were expended by 1916. I suspect G/6. Could be a new G/7 but the boat is Flanders Flotilla; I strongly suspect big ocean-going attack boats would have had priority for the G/7 torpedoes...Flanders Flotilla was mostly smaller U-Boats and minelaying boats. Unfortunately I could find no pictures of the other torpedo types. I regret that the details in the pictures may be unclear.

Thanks for the warm welcome and the info - just what I needed.
One of these days, I hope to be back here on a regular basis. I'll try to stop by more often. I've just started my campaign to get the wife to agree to me getting a decent computer, so with a bit of luck, my time away from Subsim may be coming to an end.

Iambecomelife, do you happen to know more or less exactly when the C35/91s stopped being used?
