Subsim Narwhal Contest - Mod is now available, see post #662 - Page 17

looking at these pictures really inspires a sense of awe. That is one impressive submarine. Really bears a lot more semblance to a destroyer than its distant u-boat cousins (particularly the Type II, poor little guy would feel awfully inadequate next to a Narwhal).

Granted, different boats for different roles. It's hard to imagine the Narwhal faring well in the Med. Or a Type II or VII doing fleet boat duty out of Pearl.

Keltos I'm going on vacation tomorrow, so I will not be around to keep helping with the Narwhal until end of August.

Have a good summer

Mod update!

*I edited the Deck guns to have both on the sub, 1939-1945
*The tower is now okay, all the watch crew's feet are firmly planted on the deck.
*I managed to get the AA gun deck to show up, as well asx the insides of the tower, but some of the faces are still flipped.
*The Conning tower splash has been moved forward, I always hated how the gun never caused a wake, or the deck itself. gotta figure out how to make two more of the splashes.
*I edited the sides of the gun deck to have a slope. The new AO map leaves something to be desired, but I know how to fix these things.
*I'm editing the campaign to work with the newest RSRDC, and hopefully, stock, and RFB, and TMO

How about mounting a double or quad 40 mm on it for AAA support? Make the broadside EVEN LARGER!

Oh I know, but I still want to stick a ridiculous amount of guns on a fleet sub.

I'm back in town.

I have worked very little this last ten days as I was on Holidays but managed to work some on the 3d model of the guns platform :

I reverted to the round platform type thanks to hunter's suggestion,

I modified it so it would actually be a gun platform on 3d struts, with the steps upfront like the real deal, the struts I still have to work some on cause they are shaped like the hull, hence curved, between the platforms.

I do this cause I want the water to flow through them and under the guns as you submerge or surface the boat, and not just have textures looking like there are struts.

I'll post pictures of the WIP tomorrow, but as this will cause me to have to redo the uv map for the whole of the platform don't expect to see perfect textures at first, and mine are only show texture as Sledgehammer427 will do the ones that will go with the mod.

Dolphin stern tubes :

Nautilus' stern tubes :

looking at both the Dolphin and Porpoise class, they seem to have similar stern tubes doors, so I think I'll model those for the Narwhal as well as we lack dry dock RL pictures of the stern. but are the stern tubes on the Nautilus voluntarily blurred or is it another design ?

keltos01 · 08-04-09, 01:39 PM

still have to refine (how many times did I use that word...

) the shape of the struts but it's coming along nicely.
