[REL] Historically accurate 4-Bladed propellers for all Subs

[kapitan_zur_see]

Hi, mates

Okay some of you already read that... but for the newcommers:

Hi captains!

Following some very stubborned attempts at importing a 3dmodel inside SH4 and making its texture to work, i've finally made it
I've had to deal with certain restrictions so as for now, it doesn't quite match the level of quality we'll be able to reach in a near future, especially regarding how light reacts on the model... But can't say i'm quite proud :rotfl:Skwasjer will know why lol

Ok, as some of you may already knows, US submarines of that era were using 4 blades propellers during war instead of the 3 blades one the devs modelled. So i've modelled one myself and got it retextured. Propellers have now their own separate texture also instead of sharing a tiny part of the hull general texture (hence very low-res).

Subs included are Tambor, Gato, Balao, Porpoise, Salmon and Sargo class
However, for now on, i've not included S-Class subs since i doubt they were fitted with such propellers (being rather used as old training platforms, i think)

Features:

• New 3D 4-bladed propeller model
• Hi-res texture (1024x1024) for best close-up details
• Correct pitch for left and right propellers (fix vanilla model)
• 100% ROW compatible

After/Before screenies (previous lower-res version)

It's 100% latest ROW COMPATIBLE. All you have to do is installing it AFTER ROW (or ROW would overwrite it...). Use JSGME...

Have fun using this!

Special thanks for Skwas and his fantastic S3D
