Trust me, it won't be that bad. When I don't have time for modeling, I like to play with the game interface. In my opinion a sterile interface has been a big weakness of many modern simulators; to make this mod feel like a total conversion, the player will receive various newspaper notifications.... There will also be a combination of generic war news and headlines when important events take place (Jutland, Dogger Bank, the Armistice, &c.) So, when you carelessly sail into a British minefield (and oblivion), do not worry. Rest assured that your wives/sweethearts back home will be able to read about your demise: Due to the medal graphics setup of SH4, it should be possible to have different announcements for different medals. German speakers, is this a good name for a German newspaper? I took Spanish in High School, so my knowledge of German grammar is sadly lacking. And I don't trust online translators too much. Feel free to suggest a better name.

I don't speak German, but the period newspaper screens look good. |

Oh, yeah, it looks awsome!
The papers remind me of Aces Of The Deep. Once it's released we need someone to do a WW2 version, make these games what they should have been from the start.

So will these be what shows up for the death and end patrols screens? As for the name I suggest going for any defunct German newspapers that were operating during WW1.

Question
I have been sub sim gaming for years but have just come across the mods for WWI sub combat. Is there an actual download for the Wolves of the Kaiser mod yet or am I just missing it?
Thanks Von Marr |

Hasn't been released yet, still a WIP (work in progress).

OK: TIME FOR A GUESSING GAME !!!!!
I'm trying to step up ship production: here are some screenshots of what was probably the most hated merchantman in 1914; she was portrayed as the "bad guy" (girl?) in one of the greatest maritime tragedies of all time. However, recent research has shown that she may not have been to blame for the disaster. She survived this incident and resumed trading, only to be torpedoed and sunk off Fastnet Rock in 1917. Who is this mystery ship??? A tip of the Kaleun's hat to whoever is the first to guess the name of this "villainess"! Overall, the model is fairly low-poly. More details will be added soon. I modified her from her original plans slightly, with longer derricks and an enclosed lower bridge - a feasible modification that may have been done prior to her loss. Basically, this will be a stand-in for the "Medium Freighter" you would see in games like "Aces of the Deep". It's easily customizable with different funnels, deck houses, and mast arrangements. Note the U-87 and human figure for scale purposes. Thanks for the comments on German grammar! I made sure to save the paper as an adobe .psd file, so it is easy to edit. That way, I can also add miscellaneous news & propaganda to different newspaper headings.

Oh cool. I'll finally get to see what a reverse-slanting prow looks like. Also any guess as to when you'll start modeling the queens of the ocean?

One issue is that I feel like some earlier ships I've posted are poor quality, in my opinion, and should not be in the mod. The following ship models I designed earlier will definitely be replaced: -SMS Moltke Battlecruiser -SMS Helgoland Battleship -HMS Orion Battleship -SS Sandalwood Light Merchant The following ship models are likely to be replaced: -Multiple British destroyer classes (Beagle Class, "M" Class, etc) -HMS Invincible Battlecruiser I want to revise these ships with higher polys and a new modeling technique: starting out with a cube, slicing it in half, and segmenting it into vertical sections. It gives much better results than my old technique of starting out with a cylinder.

I use the same approach for my hulls i think you will find it easier to make the compound curves in ships of this era with the rectangular shape start. Good luck with it all.
all is looking good happy new year to all shipmates.
