[REL] "new" Hunt destroyers

[emmis]

Looks very good !
Time to copy/paste the new ship in the game files.

The_Frog, glad to be in assistance unknowingly. I'm currently in the mid patrol, after I get back to base I'll make another test and let you know if something strange pops out.

Montekildo, all feedback on possible flaws is highly welcome

Hello!

Excellent work, I have tried your new Tribal/Hunt destroyers. It may sound a little bit weird as a captain of a sub, but its always nice to see your detailed destroyers!

I hope for more new models(Black Swan, River...)!

@Hari123:

Sorry, the NFF_RiverClass was one of the first modded ships. It is, thus, a historical landmark and cultural heritage. So, no way to replace it

Thanks for the fix.

Thanks for this frog. Can't wait to plug em in.

Hi the_frog,

thanks a lot for the beautiful ships I like them a lot.

I have a question concerning your 'older' ships. I would like to replace the stock NDD_C&D and NDD_V&W with the NDD_D and NDD_W from your destroyer packs. Does that make sense? Can I do it by just renaming your files and adjusting the ClassName in the *.cfg file or do I have to change other things, too?

Regards, LGN1

[the_frog]

Hello LGN1,

Ubisoft used what they called NDD_C&D as a stand-in for all destroyers classes C to I. So, if you wish to replace the NDD_C&D with one of the A-to-I models, just pick one of them. Then proceed as you described: rename files and edit the respective *.cfg file.

I wouldn't recommend replacing the V&W by the W class. The V&Ws were 50+ destroyers entering serivice from 1917 to 1920 and the W class was a group of 8 ships entering service from late 1943 to mid 1944.

[LGN1]

Thanks for the reply, the_frog! I didn't know about the difference between the V&W and W class

So no new nice model for the stock V&W destroyer .

Regards, LGN1

Edit: Any recommendation which ship to use to replace the stock NDD_C&D?

[the_frog]

LGN1, Ubisoft's NDD_C&D resembles the D class; personally I like E&F and G&H better. Pick what you like best.

[LGN1]

Thanks for the reply. Just one last question: Can I scale down (change the resolution of) the different skin files without too many side effects? The 4Mb skins are quite large.

Regards, LGN1

[the_frog]

The only side effect of scaling them down linearly will be a coarser look, especially of pennat numbers.

Thanks for the reply, the_frog!
