....I avoid that also...no sense in starting unnecessary seizure activity...

I have never been able to figure out which way a prop spins...concur they look great to me also....

That said,The name of this mod,"Historically accurate" Implies correct. SET your speed to 1 Kt,& you will see the screws do not turn correctly.The Stb screw should turn clockwise,the Port screw should turn counter clockwise. kapitan_zur_see,I am sure will fix this at some point in time,because he is a proud modder,& brings good work to the forum.

Also,"maniac" is not a loving shot

Thanks mate

I believe i will at some point. However, this turning issue at different speed might make it impossible lol
It may be either correct at slow speed and incorrect at high speed or the contrary.

Any progress??

Hmm this thread seems dead...

Would love to see this in the new add-on plz..

While I applaud the hard work that went into this mod, the propellers could not be less historically accurate. Submarine props are made of bronze (or brass) and do not corrode - they experience some damage due to cavitation; however they would never, ever, EVER look like the ones in this mod. A submarine running props like that would may such a huge racket that it would be detected over my daughters stereo. (props to the film for that line LOL)

Anyways...I am surprised with how everyone is fixated on historical accuracy that this kind of major flaw would not be noticed.

Again, props for the work, but crap for the props.

Go Back under your stone where you come from, Bilge Rat. First post and a big mouth, I don´t like this.

Cool down! Both of you. Keep in mind that every contribution is well accepted. If someone doesn't like it no problem, nobody will force him/her to donwload the mod and/or use it.

If you have suggestions explain yourself, otherwise keep insults out of this forum.

kapitan_zur_see · 03-23-08, 12:29 PM

Some plain brass texture would look less beautifull ingame, that's just why i choosed to do one wich is, yes, not "realistic"...

A matter of choice from your side to use it or not. Yes, i'm also sometimes amazed at how many people wants things to be axtra-accurate although it's still just a game anyway

Now that the mod is included inside Ducimus' Trigger Maru or even PE. There's not much less to do, it's pretty finished. I'm curreently working on other things

Hi Kapitan zur See,
i like your mod very much, it's really awesome and i use it for longer time now. Yesterday i read the discussion about the texture and i decided to spend an hour (or two?

) trying to make a new one. Perhaps you like it...

I took a photo of a real four-bladed ww2-submarine-propeller made of brass, resized and overworked it a bit. Now the propeller does not look plain, but keeps his natural structure and it's "used look" of material.

Here it is:
