[REL] Kriegsmarine - Adm Graf Spee heavy cruiser \ panzerschiffe - 2021 edition

VonDos · 04-03-21, 05:11 AM

Hi everyone, and happy Easter!

I'm glad to release this new mod: Admiral Graf Spee heavy cruiser \ panzerschiffe \ pocket battleship... (well, this ship had strange classifications):

D\L link: https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/dow...o=file&id=5864

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

Based on GWX Development Team's Deutschland class panzerschiffes, 3d model updated using SHV parts and a lot of details (oblos, stairs, cables, lifeboats, glass windows\interiors, turning radars\rangefinders and torpedo launchers...).

If you've also LBSArado in your Data\German\Air\Roster, you can add scout planes to this cruiser adding those lines to NBC_GrafSpee.cfg:

[AirGroup 1]
StartDate=19380101
EndDate=19391211
Squadron1Class=LBSArado
Squadron1No=1

----------------------------------- CREDITS

Thanks to GWX Team for permission to use their Deutschland class panzerschiffes, who are the base for this mod.
Great thanks to Stefan Thimme for research and improvements in weapons type, and dates, .sim and .zon files etc.
Special thanks to flush deck for new fantastic textures, for ship and library also!
Thanks to Sphere, who give me permissions to include and modify his searchlights mod (please read original readme included).
Thanks also to Anvar1061 for some suggestions about those searchlights and about optimize .eqp files.
Thanks also to skwas for silent 3ditor, a usefull tool!

-----------------------------------

Best regards,
Vd

Maybe they could have found the correct number of warship hunting them near Rio de la Plata. Not a great enemy fleet...

VonDos · 04-03-21, 11:36 AM

1, 2, or 3 scout planes?

I've found different sources, here for example it say 2:

It was not the quantity that confused me, but the dates.

Thanks for the info =)
I'll re-upload a version with fixed documentation. For now, please everyone want to add planes please use the lines in first post.

EDIT: reuploaded now with fixed .cfg and Readme (optional air group)

Best regards,

Such a shame due to sinking very good excellent battleship in Rio de la Plata

You ships were already good; this one is great in terms of accuracy & detail. Now to throw in Exeter , Ajax, and Achilles against her.

You should fix the textures for the Guns.
They don't do Justice to the Ships.
