[REL] Kriegsmarine - Gneisenau battleship - 2023 edition

[VonDos]

Hi everyone,

i'm glad to release this new mod; Gneisenau battleship :



D\L link:https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/dow...o=file&id=6284





This is the nineth of a serie of units for Kriegsmarine, reworked in collaboration with flush deck.

Based on GWX Development Team's Scharnhorst battleship, 3d model updated using SHV Scharnhorst's parts and a lot of details (oblos, stairs, cables, lifeboats, glass windows\interiors, turning radars\rangefinders...).



If you've also LBSArado in your Data\German\Air\Roster, you can add scout planes to this battleship adding those lines

[AirGroup 1]
StartDate=19390429
EndDate=19450323
Squadron1Class=LBSArado
Squadron1No=1

to NBB_Gneisenau.cfg;



Note, as for Bismarck and Tirpitz, differences between Scharnhorst and Gneisenau have been implemented, you can see different masts position, hangar shape, A\A weapon configurations...




Library new version with reworked and improved textures, this will improve also other Vd Kriegsmarine ships' gun.
