20th century ships and more

Recommended Posts

Hello dear sailers,

 

I just wanted to tell you my idea of a mod which includes ships from around 1890 to 1945.

It will take a lot of time so do not expect anything bigger released the next 4 to 6 months as for now I work alone.

The first stage of the mod should include:

 

Ships:

Will work like the vanilla atlas ships but will need coal to produce steam to drive.

V1 Torpedo Boat: 

 

Picture of V1

Displacement: 697 t (686 long tons)

Length: 71.1 m (233 ft 3 in) oa

Beam: 7.6 m (24 ft 11 in)

Draft: 3.11 m (10 ft 2 in)

 

Gunboat Iltis-Class:

SMS Panther

Displacement: 977 t (962 long tons) (designed)

1,193 t (1,174 long tons) (maximum)

Length: 66.9 m (219 ft 6 in) o/a

64.1 m (210 ft 4 in) w/l

Beam: 9.7 m (31 ft 10 in)

Draught: 3.3 m (10 ft 10 in)

 

ClemsonClass Destroyer:

Clemson Class Destroyer

Displacement: 1,215 tons (normal)

1,308 tons (full load)

Length: 314 ft 4.5 in (95.822 m)

Beam: 30 ft 11.5 in (9.436 m)

Draft: 9 ft 4 in (2.84 m)

 

And maybe something like the Dresden-Class Light Cruiser.

Also don´t be afraid that I am having mostly german ships on the list. I am looking to replace one or two with british ships or add them later.

For the WW2 era i thought about something like LCTs, LCMs, Destroyer and stuff like that but first let´s get the earlier ones working 🙂

 

Weapons:

Naval:

for the ships on the list I plan do make:

8,8 cm SK L30 

8.8 cm SK L45

4- Inch (10,2 cm)

10,5 cm SK L45

10,5 cm SK L55

Revolving Cannon 57mm (like the one in the game)

and maybe if I get the scripting right Torpedos.

 

The ammount of weapons carried on the ships should be balanced by the weight of the weapon systems and the weight the ship can carry.

 

Ground:

I plan to bring also a few new WW1 era weapons for the ground combat.

Like the "Fahrpanzer" (allready finished moddeling), the first mashineguns, and light artillery maybe even howitzers.

But I do not want to get too much stuff because this is very time consuming and should stay playable.

 

Also I had some thoughts about the production for the mod.

For now this would include things like a charcoal oven for burning wood to get charcoal in huge ammounts.

Further things like an iron furncace, steel production, steam engines and more.

 

If you got any idea or anything else feel free to contact me 🙂

And finally sorry for my bad english 😄

  

Cheers residentfear
