Hi mate!

Well, from the pic i guess this was the Hela (1940).
My WIP ship is not her, but you're really near the correct solution!
(same role, different unit).

Before start the Kriegsmarine fleet rework, i didn't know about this - not so great -, but usefull, class of ships.

Can you identify her?

Carl Peters from SH5. It's easy.

Will there be more difficult questions?

Yep! With a lot of reworks, but she's Carl Peters, or Adolf Luderitz, same class.

More difficult questions? Yes, just not today!

she's also new to me, before looking it up I figured she was a training cruiser.

my dream? I-8 or a similar IJN boat which visited France, or perhaps a Flying P-Liner

Have you considered doing a Patreon, VonDos?

If i well remember, an I400 converted from SH4 by miner1436 and a "Pamir" Flying P-Liner by nautilus42 are avaiable somewhere, ready for sh3

I know Patreon, but i prefere to stay on SubSim with all contents free for everyone in the community. This is something i do in my free time.
Also, most of the units are also based on someone other work, or are realized with someone help, this is "VonDos AND COMPANY" shipyard, after all, so i think it would be a little unfair gain money on their free work!

Hi everyone!

Today, another small, extremely easy quiz for you!

"Guess the new WIP ship!"

A random example of an huge "class" of ships, better defined by their role.

Can you identify her?



Note, this unit is not intended to show a single historical unit, i'ts largely modelled on one specific ship, but i'd like to use her in order to "impersonate" a large kind of ships, so some details can be a little "generic".

ps, don't look at skin, please. I've reused a Pinguin textures, while waiting for new ones.

Best regards,
Vd

could this be considered a Vorpostenboot, or is it too big for that classification?

It's a little big. They also had some different roles. Both were used like escorts and A\A, but our mistery ship was also used for something other...

This was a tipical example where i took inspirations, but there was an huge number of them:
