Mini update Wolves of the Kaiser: 1914 - 1918, 07/29/2023

-Experienced another minor issue; I made a survey of the Nassau Class battleship I had modeled over a year ago and found it needed extensive work. The good news is that it should be done soon! The hull has been remodeled with the bottom plating shaped properly. The skinning (one of the hardest parts) is about 95% done and was performed on Thursday and yesterday night. Next she just needs lifeboats, anchor chains, gun turrets, and other fine details I've already modeled.

-This week the SMS Kaiser Class battleship was tested extensively. Checked damage modeling, zones, fire locations, sinking rate, and so on.

-I hardly need to tell you that these updates are great news for the surface ship roster. Between the model of Nassau and Kaiser Class - that's 9 of Germany's modern battleships taken care of:

-Nassau
-Posen
-Westfalen
-Rheinland
-Kaiser
-Kaiserin
-Prinzregent Luitpold
-Friedrich der Grosse
-Konig Albert

Given that jhapprich already modeled Konig class and Helgoland class and we already have German pre-dreadnoughts from SH5, I'd say German battleships are set!

-Backed up the most recent work on the mod to an internet account. Learned a hard lesson from the big ransomware attack in the past that destroyed almost everything! If someone nuked my computer today it would hardly be a setback.

-Reviewed interior work done by experts, including Tomi99 and the UBOAD developers. Also studied the layout of objects in "Das Boot" - pipes, valve wheels, oxygen cylinders, and torpedo tubes. Jeff Groves provided some help again! More details later.

-Another screenshot update will be coming soon! This will, again, be featured here and on facebook.
