I was thinking about putting a periscope in the tower so one can detect range that way. But i think that is actually plausible, an ammoless gun that turns with the main weapons. i dunno how to do it of course, but it would be cool

I know the feeling - Now that I finished my own paper I am back to modding. (And wondering about what grade I'm going to get!)

no need for asking around, I've just done it


One minor drawback: a gun with no shells won't turn, so the range finder actually fires at the target...
Reload time is 10000 seconds, and shell speed 100000 m/s so i doubt if anyone will ever see a shell coming from it.

BTW this is integrated into the main dat file, it isn't a seperate file or anything.
so if you (ivan/tom/sh427/polyfiller or anyone else on the team) want this for the yamato (or any other ship) you'd better send me the most recent dat & sim files as the files I currently have are already a few months old.

Darkfish - top work, thankyou

You have a PM on the way with a link to download my current WIP folder. I have cheekily included another request in the PM - just thought you may have an idea to help out with a specific item.

While we're on the subject of rotating thingies - aren't the radars on the top of the German cap ships supposed to rotate aswell (I mean continuously) ? Can this be done ?

[Sledgehammer427]

just add in the new 3d radar into the .dat where the rotating one is (FUMO 30 hohentweil i thinki)

EDIT: and find out where the node is placed. i ref the Admiral SCheer tower .dat when i do that

[mickey117]

on the yamoto is i spouse where you go lookout/watch isnt moving but is the command/bridge gonna be change to where the acual bridge is or yous leaving it cause ive seen a movie on youtube and it shows the actual bridge well idn if its accurate but its pretty close to what i think it would be

I don't think major warships had submarine radars like the FuMO30
anyway, it would be a lot of work to make different radar files for every possible type of radar. alternatively we could use submarine radars, make them invisible (eg. by placing them inside the tower) and use a rotating 3d model inside the main dat file. But this way the radar won't stop if you stop scanning, it'll keep rotating as mickey117 pointed out.

do you know the url to that movie? or how you found it? If it clearly shows the bridge I might just go make one.
