HMS Renown

Schultzy · 10-20-05, 06:33 AM

In one of the mods i recently downloaded, i think it was the hospital ship mod, there was a preview picture of HMS Renown, saying coming soon.

Was wondering how she was coming along?

Any more teaser screenies or such?

Thanks guys.

Damn, another misleading topic name!

Thanks for the post mate!
It is what the topic is about...., can't see the problem.

If you've got nothing constructive to say, don't add to your post count!

Actually, I think the screenshot was taken by type941, so in a way, the thread IS targeting him.

So what is the HMS Renown? An unfinished skin? A new boat? A cruel and misleading joke??

I would like to know, too...

When Renown is ready we can maybe also get a Repulse. I think you just have to modify the Forcastle Part of the Superstruktur. Base model could be the Revenge one.

I believe Iambecomelife was working on a Renown model which he was making out of the KGV. I think it has been delayed because Sansal's new Pack3D allows objects to be exported for editing - this provides an opportunity to make a more accurate model. You'll have to ask him if it has been completed, or if he is trying to edit it.

I don't like the idea of creating every ship of a class as a separate unit - for example, I think Renown class should suffice for both the Renown and Repulse, since they were very similar sister ships. However, sometimes this can be appropriate when two sister ships have major differences, such as the Bismarck and Tirpitz.

Renown and Repulse are very different in their appearance in WW 2. Infact Repulse nealy looked like the Hood with 3 main turets whereas Renown was modifid on very large scale to resamble in some way the Superstrukture of KG V. In WW 1 they looked the same but WW 2 broke out to early to also modify Repulse.

AG124 · 10-20-05, 11:06 AM

That is true, but with the large number of ships that need to be added to the game, and with the long development time for each one that we currently have (which is not the fault of the modders - it is a complicated process) this may not be significant enough to warrant a new model. Not that I would object to a Repulse if someone decides to make one...

We just have to wait and see.

It certainly makes sense to make a ship that had the largest number in the class.
Repulse and Renown were very different (as noted) so would not work if it matters to realism.
This is likely the reason for using the Revenge class instead on the QE BB, the Barham was not modernized and those that were not to the same configuration.
Did you know U-331 that sank Barham was based in Salamis Greece in 23. Flotilla?? In fact, U-331 never sank anything but warships!!! Not a single merchant.

Thanks for the info lads!

Type941 · 10-20-05, 03:39 PM

post count? You've gotta be kidding me!

Anyway, the thread is called HMS Repulse, not HMS Repulse: When? or something like that, so I thought 'hey, someone's made the Repulse" - only to find a question... Sorry if i didn't make the sarcasm more clear. I'll be better next time. :hmm:

Thanks for the interest, but this is currently on hiatus, like too many other mods I'm planning

. It's not so much an actual problem as the fact that I need to become more familiar with 3d editing before tackling the "Renown". Now that it's easy to alter the actual 3d shapes instead of just swapping objects I feel as though there's a higher standard of accuracy that needs to be met. For now I'm doing merchants since they were rarely built to a specific class - hence, less accuracy issues. I'd be happy to share the files and my research materials to anyone who wants to look at them. I'd also be willing to send a download link to anyone who really wanted it badly enough - it just won't be one of the more accurate mods.

EDIT: That's share WITH, not share TO

chris911 · 10-24-05, 10:08 AM
