[WIP] Wolves of the Kaiser:1914-1918 Mod - Page 125

Thanks for the map! Running to work, but an idea of recent work on non-playable units....in preparation for WOTK's second video (I hope) which will deal with a great but little-known disaster at sea......A death toll like Titanic, that occurred on Great Britain's doorstep and left thousands of families without husbands/fathers/sons, but has been forgotten over the years.

You may have seen earlier versions of this model - my first prototype was not well proportioned; far from perfect but IMO this is an improvement. More news later.

Yes! The coaster and destroyer are both looking nice - especially the coaster; I bought a book on British small merchants and the proportions, structural features, etc are very well done - just like a typical 1900's - 1910's cargo ship. And thank you for the "Charner!" another ship sunk by a U-Boat that is very difficult to model.

None other, Admiral!!

I have a copy of the book "Three Before Breakfast", which was written back in the 1970's, with the help of Aboukir + Cressy + Hogue veterans who were still alive at the time - I highly recommend it to anyone interested in submarine warfare.

Rockin Robbins · 08-31-16, 02:23 PM

Looking amazing! Keep up the great work!

max-peck · 08-31-16, 03:02 PM

Battleship Charlemagne

Leadtail's Charlemagne rendered in Wings3d. Last night I started planing a texture for his cruiser, "Amiral Charner":

iambecomelife · 09-01-16, 05:01 PM

"Twelve thousand tons of old iron going to rust."

-A British officer on the "Cressy" class. They were obsolete by
1914, but still impressive ships. Here is the model successfully
imported....it is a "mannequin", towed by the U-31 sub hull
object. Will be working on the various steps needed to make it
(and leadtail's ships) functional units; it's all very basic.

iambecomelife · 09-01-16, 05:07 PM

WIP test of the U-31 Class, late war, underwater.

Niume · 09-02-16, 07:38 AM

I want to ask how will ASW work will destoers will be able too deploy anti sub nets to catch whem?

iambecomelife · 09-03-16, 10:48 AM

I don't think that destroyers will have nets - I tried them and couldn't get them to work.

However, they will have Explosive Sweeps and Depth Bombs:

Antisubmarine equipment for destroyers will progress like this:

1914 - Guns, Torpedoes, & Explosive Sweeps only

1915 - Depth Bombs and primitive Depth Charges appear

1916 - Good Depth Charges are constructed but are very rare

1917-1918 - Depth Charges become common, with some escorts having dozens. The war becomes deadly for the U-Boats.

Niume · 09-04-16, 07:32 AM

Wow your work is very detailed I am amazed So when you expect WILL get this Beast of a mod on our computers working??

Knew it! The day the world truly learned how dangerous subs could be and one of the great feats of sub history to this day even.
