Yamato? - hawker445 - 29.04.2010
I forget and remember seeing a topic about this.. but has anyone made or thought about making the Yamato? it would be so much fun and such an awsome battle to sink that baby!
- asheshouse - 29.04.2010
I've been collecting plans of various ships including Yamato, but no intention to start it at the moment.
If I was doing an IJN battleship I would prefer the Kongo class, a true workhorse, or perhaps the Fuso/Yamashiro Class because of the enormous pagoda bridge structures.
Fuso Class

Kongo Class

I totally agree with you Ash. We need a Kongo class before we get a Yamato. Three of the four Kongo class battleships were sunk by US aircraft during the war I think, although it might have been two. I do know one was sunk by a USN Battleship Washington.

Those Fuso/Yamashiro Pagodas look like apartment buildings.
I think you're right about the Kongo... probably the best representation of an IJN battleship.
I'm partial to Nagato/Mutsu but both had somewhat ignominious ends to their careers.

Hi mate!
I agree to the Kongo too because them was the only IJN battleship that had the speed to escort the carrier in the battle and in such kind of services them work a lot of times in early war expecially!!!
cheers

Perfect! IL-2 really misses a great many ships, especially most beautiful of them - battleships!
- DaveOD06 - 29.04.2010
i would love to help make ships in IL-2, but i just have no idea how to use software to do it and it seems hard to get help. i would probably make them all day if i knew how.

And this will be glorious (The link is inoperative)

Contact Asheshouse. He has already built a Tribal Class Destroyer for the Royal Navy. Currently he is working on a model of HMS Warspite, a Queen Elizabeth class Battleship. I bet he would help you out and give you pointers.
Oh, and if you do start building ships ... please start with Japanese ships. They are the most short changed in the game. There are no IJN Light carriers, battleships, or cruisers in the game at all. They are the most desperate but also the most needed for correct PTO campaigns.

I wouldn't mind having Italian Battleships myself, with this possible new HMS Warspite in the works, it could well suit the Mediterranean Sea campaigns building becoming more realistic.
Right now, we don't even have one Italian Battleship, well, there is that Littorio right now but, it's only a HMS King George V class with an Italian flag.
I could already think of two classes to start, it'd mean Comte di Cavour class and Andrea Doria class...
- asheshouse - 03.05.2010
I agree. We definitely need a proper model of one of the Regia Marina battleship classes.
I hate to see the KGV appearing when I click on Littorio in FMB.
I tracked down detailed plans for all three of the battleship classes:
Cavour Class - Edizioni Bizzari Orizzonte Mare 1
Andrea Doria Class - Profile Morskie 33, Edizioni Bizzari Orizzonte Mare 2
Littorio Class - Edizioni Bizzari Orizzonte Mare 3.1 and 3.2

There's the Roma class too, the very same Battleship that was destroyed by a German guided missile fired from a HE-111 ( or was it a JU-88 ?? ) back in 1943 when the Italian fleet surrendered to the Allies.
- asheshouse - 03.05.2010
Roma was one of the Littorio Class
* Cavour class: Conte di Cavour, Giulio Cesare (modernised World War I battleships)
* Andrea Doria class: Andrea Doria, Caio Duilio (modernised World War I battleships)
* Littorio class: Littorio, Vittorio Veneto, Roma, (also Impero - not completed)
