[WIP] Wolves of the Kaiser:1914-1918 Mod

[Hitman]

The fleet boat interior, Pacific maps, and so on will be altered once I have the time.

But aren't you going to modify the german side? Wouldn't that be easier??

The S Boat interior is best suited for WWI U-Boats due to its smaller size (although I happened to use the Salmon class for those screenshots). There is an OM Type II interior but it's not my work & I don't want to rely too much on other modders' stuff.

I am designing new merchant ships for the mod. I will be experimenting with destructible hull plates & 3d cargo holds so that you can see cargo/furniture/rooms inside the ships when they are torpedoed. Ideally, there will also be more hull sections too, so you can blow off the tip of the ship's bow/stern and still have it float. However, these features are not guaranteed to make it in.

Nice work! I would definitely be interested in having it as part of the mod. Let me know if you can create other submarines. Right now I am working on the U-19 class (the type that sank the "Lusitania") and the U-66 class.

That makes sense. I may well try that. My main objectives for interiors are to delete obviously modern equipment, like radar, change the paint schemes, and add miscellaneous objects (maps, pinups, posters) appropriate for WWI Germany. The interiors of WWI U-Boats were surprisingly similar to some WWII boats, and I do not have enough sources to create photorealistic interiors of the different models.

I have the 1933 movie "Morgenrot" filmed in 1933 it is a precursor to Das Boot, filmed in a WWI uboot in norway much like they did for Das Boot.

storyline is much 1933 but there are a lot of interior views

Do you have any stills of this movie?

Also, in your opinion are the costumes and interior historically accurate? I was very disappointed to see that the recent Lusitania film used a Type VII model from WWII to represent the U-20.

I can take some

go see :

As a film concerned with U-boat warfare during the world conflict, "Morgenrot" ("Dawn"), a German-language picture with superimposed subtitles in English which is now at the Little Carnegie Playhouse, is in a class by itself. It is far and away the most realistic offering of its kind, and the scenes are beautifully photographed, with a compelling and true conception of the North Sea. In fact it is produced so effectively that it seems like a graphic account of the actual exploits of a submarine and not a story pictured years after hostilities ceased...

I can post pictures of "Morgenrot", a 1933 movie filmed in a WWI Uboot, kindo a good early Das Boot.

The VII is 67mts and IIA were 40mts, bearing that in mind I have a book that lists all the WW1 U-boats including lengths:
U5 - U8, U9 - U12, U13 - U15: 57mts
U17 - U18: 62mts
U19 - U22, U23 -U26, U127 - U30: 64mts (Walter Schwieger - U20)
U43 - U50: 65mts
U57 - U59, U60 - U62: 67mts
U63 - U65: 68mts
U66 - U70 (UD): 69mts
U71 - U80 (UE): 56mts
U81 - U86: 70mts
U87 - U92: 65mts
U93 - U98: 71mts
U99 - U104: 65mts
U105 - U110, U111 - U114: 71mts
U117 - U126: 81mts
U135 - U136: 83mts
U138 - U142: 92mts
U151 - U157: 65mts
U160 - U165: 71mts
UA: 46mts
UB1 - UB17: 28mts
UB18 - UB29: 36mts
UB30 - UB41, UB42 - UB47: 37mts
UB48 - UB53, UB54 - UB59, UB60 - UB65, UB66 - UB71, UB72 - UB74, UB75 - UB79, UB80 - UB87 UB88 - UB102, UB103 - UB117: 55mts
UB118 - UB132, UB142, UB143, UB148, UB149: 55mts
UC1 - UC10, UC11 - UC15: 33mts
UC16 - UC24: 52mts
UC25 - UC33: 51mts
UC34 - UC39: 53mts
UC40 - UC45, UC46 - UC48: 51mts
UC49 - UC54, UC55 - UC60: 52mts
UC61 - UC64: 51mts
UC65 - UC73: 53mts
UC74 - UC79: 52mts
UC90 - UC105: 56mts
The VII would be just as important as the Type II IMO!

What's the title of this book, and does it have any line drawings or photographs?


Thanks for the information, guys, and the photographs. I may try to locate a copy of this movie on amazon-it looks surprisingly good (I see that the sub seems to have two torpedo tubes per compartment, which was very common for early U-Boats.)

[Reece]

What's the title of this book, and does it have any line drawings or photographs?

The book is:
The Encyclopedia of U-Boats - From 1904 to the Present
Plenty of photos for virtually every boat but only line drawings for the following:
U16, U31 -U37, U93 - U98, U139 - U141, U151 - U154, UA, UB111 (UB66 - UB71), UC49.
Have a flatbed scanner if you require anything.
