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

Based on GWX Development Team's Tirpitz battleship, 3d model updated using SHV Bismarck's parts and a lot of details (oblos, stairs, cables, lifeboats, glass windows\interiors, turning radars\rangefinders...).
Differences between Bismarck and Tirpitz have been implemented in both the model and the guns configuration.

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=19400118
EndDate=19441112
Squadron1Class=LBSArado
Squadron1No=2

to NBB_Tirpitz.cfg;

Library new version with reworked and improved textures, this will improve also other Vd Kriegsmarine ships' gun.

NOTE: While Tirpitz enter in service in 02\25\1941, this ship will be avaiable from before ww2 start, but guns wil be fitted between 1939 and 1941. So, in early war's years she will appear without guns. Ideal if you want to put her static in her fitting out dock in Wilhelmshaven, and see her building process year by year.
