This is the eleventh 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.

This unit can also plit in two parts if torpedoed in some points.

Pack include a multiskin unit, with 17 different skins, one for every ship in the class.

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

Rueploaded again, sorry for this.
I've optimized a couple of useless nodes and 3d models, in order to reduce IDs, and replaced a forgotten liferaft.

He's not enlisted on Subsim, is he ?

Would he be interested by creating textures for the Buckley class destroyer escort ? :D

https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/sho...d.php?t=251309

Sure he's enlisted.
You can find some posts from him in some pages from my shipyard:

Ask him directly, he's a really kind man :up: (and a true textures master!!)
Best regards,
Vd

EDIT: Some of his textures for japanese and american destroyers (including DE Buckley!) can be found in this page: https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/sho...d.php?t=250809. They're for SH4 mods, but works in SH3 too, just need to convert them from DDS to TGA... Btw, he's the author, so, again, ask him is better :salute:

Also, the experience gained with Dardo allow me to introduce more historically accurate superstructures\platforms, related to late war's second torpedo launcher replacement with a large platform with 2 A\A guns on most of survived units:
