[REQ] Any chance for the Regia?

as far i remember, fist sh5 video showed bunches of Italian RM submarines here and there. is anybody thinking of a mod, a med campaign, some add.on?

i underst it's too early to say, but i'm eager to know. Italy had up to 122boats bf the war, and even if a good quarter of them was UTTERLY unusable/subject to an incredible amount of unwisdomness erc, still they tried. they tried a lot.

It is a shame that SH5 has no Italian subs. However, as far as the Regia Marina goes as a whole.....have ya been in the Mediterranean.....they're there.....I seen em

i know its non-historic, but what about a transfer of a Type VII to the Italians?

mod the external skins, crew uniforms and a pizza in the galley. a sub flag would top it off, but hows that for a simple way to play them?

Are you serious...?


Btw i wish it could be possible maybe to import the GWX model for AI from SH3, but it would require a complete rework just for textures and maps.

Needless to say i'm the first to sign up for such a project... (textures)

back in 43 there was an agreement to lend over some type VII-C to the Italians, with the germans willing to obtain some large class ( the much larger CALVI class, see pic) to turn them into "merchants".

Great picture, i love the streamlined hulls of the italian ocean-going submarines!

Drawback is, much more difficult in 3D modeling...
