Q Ship mod - Page 5

Like I old ya at the Lair Mate.
Release what you have now.
The more that try it this way resolve issues other then the visuals.
After I get back from the decadent weekend?
(Should I survive!!)
I'll test that thought I posted.

In my mind?
It should work!!
After all, the rowers are better now then before.

The rowers are very good, many thanks!

Hello!

I read that Q-Ships like auxiliary crusiers had guns hidden behind the ships`side.
When the target was in a good range to fire at some hidden doors in the ships`
side opened and the guns behind could open their fire...

Would be quite a nice thing ;-)

I'm reading all your posts and the excellent suggestions contained within.

We are currently in the early stages of a mod that poses many unanswerable questions at the moment.....questions that one or two people before us had difficulty with gaining answers to.

For clarity, allow me to point out the following:

Testing of the Q Ship as posted in #19 commenced yesterday.

The remit of the testers was twofold

1) Does the ship behave as it does in #19 upon sighting a U-boat ?

2) Does the ship show up as a single vessel and also in convoys for both Britain and the US in different locations and over a wide period of time ?

Already there have been two promising reports.....so fingers crossed, we should see a Q Ship mod sooner rather than later.

Anything in addittion to the above regarding workable trap containers etc. will come much later (if at all) after a few folk that are far more clued up than me have had a chance to look at the files.

I'll keep updating you all of any further progress.

Ah your a good man Jim, you don't know the meaning of the word "can't"!

You should take up the position of GWX team leader!

Thanks but.....quite happy with my position in the team.

Our new Pack (Team) Leader is BBW now that Kpt. has retired.....and we are all comfortable with the present arrangement.

Besides.......I don't possess a bike :p

I don't know what that has to do with it but since I have a beamer & if BBW has a bike then I think it's about time you got one, your never too old mate (if an old fart like me can ride one, so can you)!

Well thats some accolade....I actually felt embaressed for the lad

Get a bike man, you know it makes sense. Got my RockHopper two months ago and now spit in the face of gridlocked car drivers whilst nailing their wing mirrors to my trophy wall

The higher the cost of fuel, the less cars on the road....excellent:rotfl:

I tend to use one of these to get around....and the petrol is at zero cost to the driver

Cheers mate

Short Update:

Removed HMS Fidelity because she was unlike the other British vessels.

Added US vessels (5 in total) USS Atik, Big Horn etc.

British vessels should appear from start of hostilities to March 41.

US vessels should appear from Jan 42 till Nov 43

Testing continues....more later.

I would like to see that. The Q-Ship from the now-defunct "Project 25" WWI subsim was going to have retractable guns, as well as a hidden depth charge compartment:

Might be nothing but then again!

Amazing work guys. I'm wondering will there be a new chapter in the recognition manual for Q-ships or will they be shown in the choice nations?
