radar Kriegsmarine - Hipper class heavy cruisers - 2022 edition

Hi everyone,

i'm glad to release this new mod: Hipper class heavy cruisers (Admiral Hipper, Blucher, and Prinz Eugen) :



D\L link:https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/dow...o=file&id=6065





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

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


Pack include three different units, Adm Hipper, Blucher and Prinz Eugen, in order to implement main "historically accurate" differences between units of same class (weapons configuration, camo schemes etc...).

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

[AirGroup 1]
StartDate=19390920
EndDate=19400409
Squadron1Class=LBSArado
Squadron1No=1

to NCA_Blucher.cfg;

adding those lines:

[AirGroup 1]
StartDate=19350818
EndDate=19451201
Squadron1Class=LBSArado
Squadron1No=1

to NCA_Hipper.cfg,

and adding thise lines:

[AirGroup 1]
StartDate=19400801
EndDate=19451201
Squadron1Class=LBSArado
Squadron1No=1

to NCA_PEugen.cfg.


----------------------------------- CREDITS

Hi everyone!

Today i've reuploaded the Hipper class cruisers, Hipper, Prinz Eugen and Blucher.

New features included:

- smaller portholes: In previous version they were larger, too large according to original ww2 era pics and documents:

- latest version of VDGuns library, with new parts for released and WIP ships and, great news, water reflections for every turret, gun, torpedo launcher, rangefinder, director, radar etc included (thanks to Fifi for the idea!), not only for Hipper class cruisers, but for all others Kriegsmarine ships in this shipyard:

Hope you like it!
