Default [REQ] Scharnhorst/Bismarck

looking at the Admiral Graf Spee and thought a playable Scharnhorst, or Bismarck would be sweet. anyone agree?, can anyone do this?

will this playable bismarck for SH3 work in SH4? we just need to update the graphics?

So they have the advanced lighting effects of SH4 and don't look "flat" like direct SH3 imports.

The SH4 models strike me as quite sophisticated, which is why the current "sideways" conversions of existing models into playable models is so appealing . They come with all the lovely detail, lighting effects etc.
I think for the moment nobody will be in a rush to attempt an SH3 to SH4 playable conversion ...... but given time and motivation it should be technically possible.

Maybe an atlantic u boat campaign, played with the Bismarck in anti convoy duty will suffice...
...isn't this a good motivation??

Yes! and the most inetersting part is this: basically it is the same of the stock game, except for the simple fact you're in command of a 50,000t behemoth instead of a small, useless, 1000tons U-Boat.

I am playing the stock u boat campaign using the pocket battleship instead of the type IXD2. Every patrol ends with a score of 120.000 tons or more..

If someone would convert the Bismark with lightmaps I would be willing to make it playable, that is after I finish Ise, Takao and Ise late war.

I believe Mikhayl is now working on light maps for the IID he imported, so it can be done.

By the way is it proper to ask for the status of your IJN Ise? – She looked kind of complete in your last screen.
I’m looking forward to your IJN Takao since a heavy cruise is more appropriated as commerce raider IMHO.
