American and Japanese Battleships? - AndyRandy - 15.04.2008
We don`t have any of them!
Would be nice to see Iowa-Class!
Is this possible to make?
And is it possible to

I could swear there were some US batleships in FMB....
- Gambler - 15.04.2008
I think they're King George, or whatever the standard British BB was, models designated as US battleships.
There's not a specific class of US BB's in game.

The same with japanese battleships...

exactly. We have a King George V class battleship for a Japanese Battleship. :roll: :twisted:
They did not even throw us a bone. I mean seriously. If Ubisoft did Silent Hunter 4, and Ubi owns the ship models in that game, why cant we just use some of them? Or we could even use older games like Destroyer Command. The ship models there were not half bad ...

Your nick also includes a needed battle ship class:
The Scharnhorst class
The are some very intresting maps in progress. For example the channel map. If there whould be a scharnhorst class we can make a "operation cerberus" scenario on the channel map.

Indeed we Could :!: Actually, the Scharnhrst / Gneisenau Battlecruisers are necessary for a complete channel or norway campaign. They were instrumental in both.
Also, you can't have Pearl Harbor without US battleships with Tripod masts, or Okinawa without Yamato class, or the the slot without Kongo class, or Midway without Yorktown class ... you just can't

You are right. There are a lot of other US and japanese ships that can be done. I do not know much about making a 3d model for sturmovik. But if this whould be possible . . . BIG THING!
I had some fun last evening an pasted a 1:200 scaled model of the Scharnhost into our sturmovik bath tub :-)
A little appetizer

That would only be of use for a single mission or what-if scenarios... :?

Not if you use it as USS Pennsylvania / USS Nevada which Demolished a Jap battleship fleet at the battle of Suriago Strait ...

Depends.. You could use it for a few things... not to mention, if one was to make the 'sunk' version, as a standard static object, like FC has done with his ship mods, it would make a nicely detailed, yet sobering, addition to Hawaii.

very nice!
The Scharnhorst was always one of my favorates. She was sunk on Christmas Day, 1943 while attacking a convoy bound for Murmansk. The British actually made a trap and baited her in. Shame really. They found the wreck and the ship is destroyed. The Scharnhorst was one of the most successful German surface raiders too. Her sister Gneisenau actually survived the war ... in drydock. The British would constantly damage her durring raids and the ship was sold for scrap / war reparations after the war. Both ships could outrun just about everything. I can't remember what happened, but some crazy missfortune caused the Scharnhorst to get captured. If it had not been for some freak occurance, she would have gotten away due to her faster top speed.

My grandpa always wanted to join the Scharnhorst. Reason:
It was one of the fastest battleships AND The German navy was famoes for its good meal :roll: :lol:
Some appetizer for the USS Arizona:

Kit by Andy Vu of Houston, Texas built the classic Revell USS Arizona. The kit is almost 50 years old but still going strong.

Question to Modders: Is this possible to make?( Only answer me the question, you don`t have to do it...)
