Great units - I've got them downloaded now, at last.

BTW - If anyone is interested, I have some British names for some auxiliary flak ships for use in SHIII Cdr. Below are the instructions for adding both the fishing boat and the flak ship to the random names generator for SHIII Cdr:

Add these lines to the first section of the shipnames.cfg file - under [CLASSMAP]

F01B=Largefishingboats
F02B=Largefishingboats
F03B=Largefishingboats
F04B=Largefishingboats

And add this section to the end of the file:

[AAAB1]
0001=HMS Crested Eagle
0002=HMS Foyle Bank
0003=HMS Glen Avon
0004=HMS Helvellyn
0005=HMS Pozarica
0006=HMS Tynwald

I don't have any names for the German one right now, but you shouldn't be sinking too many of those anyway.

WITH FISH... or WITHOUT FISH!

I remember another AA ship called "Palomares" (possibly "Pozarica's" sister). Both ships were assigned to PQ-17 in 1942 and survived (but unfortunately Pozarica did not survive the war). Palomares was apparently not a popular ship with the other escorts - they claimed that she monopolized their protection after the convoy was scattered, instead of letting them escort individual freighters. In all fairness, there are conflicting interpretations of what happened, and I suppose we'll never know the truth.

Anyway, nice work. You should see if jscones is planning any interim updates for the new Commander - maybe he can incorporate it.

Beautiful ships indeed D/L now.

slipper · 03-23-08, 01:39 PM

Iamb,

Will you be realising all your ships in one pack or in ones and twos like the last few?

thanks for your great work

good idea to make small ships , it'll change from the eternal trawler

Yuzver · 03-23-08, 01:57 PM

But, it is time to make already for Silent Hunter IV 1.5

Yes, version 1.1 takes the new trawlers out of the Royal Navy and places them in the merchant fleet. Thanks.

Also, on the subject of trawlers, this excerpt from a Wikipedia article on the Faroe Islands and WWII suggests another possible type of trawler that could be included in SHIII, assuming adding another nationality, Faroe Islands, is not a big problem:

"During the war, Faroese ships had to hoist the Faroese flag and paint FAROES / FØROYAR on the sides thus allowing the British Royal Navy to identify them as "friendly"."

A picture of such a trawler is below.

We did toy with the idea of adding the Faroes in GWX 2.0 but time was tight
New entries have to be made in the flag and flags dats
New rec manual cover and additional scripting

Great work as usual IABL

Quote:

Three have sails to assist their engines

I *think* that the real reason for those small sails is not to aid the engines, but instead to improve the stability of the ship in rough weather, as they act like an air-brake, reducing the rolling. That's at least how they are used in the Mediterranean and in some dutch design boats I know. :hmm:

whmsju84 · 03-24-08, 11:24 PM

BBW,

Thanks for the feedback on adding nationalities -- that there is more work involved with such a change than might be immediately apparent.

Wow. need these for SH4.

Others are even more similar, lack images.

Very nicely done.

iambecomelife · 03-25-08, 06:01 PM

Wow. I actually hadn't seen that model before I made this ship. It really does look like the Flakship model except for the counter stern and a few other details.

There need to be a lot more smaller freighters in general, so I may reuse the model when I release the Merchant Fleet Mod.
