Where did this ever go?

There used to be a thread about someone putting a playable bismark into the game... any results from this... it would be fantastic just to be able to play as a DD or BB

I belive it was a pipe dream. Thre are no controllable surface ships in SHIII and the only way of doing it would have been to model the Bismark as a u-boat fully submersible etc. Can't say it would have been that great had someone bothered to do it.

Just found a mod for a playable battleship Bismarck

crudely compatible with GWX... im going to run a clean install on another drive and try the mod on there.

with GWX most of the guns do not appear and those that do appear will not fire. But you can order speed changes and heading changes and drive the bismarck, but thats about it - also noticed other ships dont even attempt to attack you. :hmm:

this mod seems to place the "skin" and weapons of the bismarck over a type VIIC

screen shots show it blasting merchants and warships but i cought in the readme which is mostly in russian "not compatible with other mods" and GWX is a heavy super mod so ill post my findings in a while
