[REL] Regia Marina - Tre Pipe classes torpedo boats - 2021 edition

[VonDos]

I'm glad to release this new mod: Tre Pipe classes torpedo boats, including Sirtori (Sirtori, Acerbi, Orsini, Stocco), Pilo (Pilo, Abba, Dezza, Missori, Mosto, Cairoli, Schiaffino), La Masa (La Masa, Bassini, Bertani, Carini, Fabrizi, La Farina, Medici), Generali (Cantore, Cascino, Chinotto, Montanari, Prestinari, Papa) and Indomito (Insidioso) classes.

This is the seventeenth of a serie of units for Regia Marina, a major work who started after i've start a collaboration with flush deck, in order to "homogenise" various italian warships i've released during a lot of years, and assure a standard quality level for all of them.

Pack include a multiskin unit, with 12 different skins, ID letters on the hull.
Note, we choose to put an ID on the hull that could work with the symetric UV mapping systeme, using letters that can work in symetric view (A/O/H/U/I etc..)
That's not the historical ID, but that keep the spirit in size, color and typo.
The idea was also to split the Three Pipes in 3 class with 4 schemes for each.
Sirtori Class : ID first letter (O)
Pilo Class: ID first letter (A)
La Masa Class : ID first letter (U)







As you can see, i've tryed to improve units, adding 3D details like doors, portholes, cables, rails, stairs, liferats, fixing small design flaws, taking care of "historically accurate" side, etc.
The goal is have a standard level for all my Regia Marina units released until now, and eventually for future releases.

Excellent job!

I have two suggestions concerning the 3D model.

The first one is about the bridge wing, and can be very easily fixed: look at the sailor and the height of the baranda (not sure if it's the right term, but you will understand).



The second one is harder to change, and is the shape of the stern:



The rudder should be stuck to the stern, and not have all that empty space in between.

Other than that, I'm already working to implement it in my SH4

Those are really nice boats. They remind me of the WWI "M" class and "R" class from the UK.

Just downloaded for test.
Yes, stern is vertical and near the rudder, while command tower's balcony\baranda are higher.

Maybe you've a previous version into your dowload folder?
