The Tribal class was one of the most numerous Royal Navy destroyers in WWII.
27 built of which 16 served in the RN, 8 in the Canadian Navy and 3 in the Australian Navy.

Armament initially 8x120mm twin turrets
1 Quad 40mm AA
2 Quad 12.7mm AA



Model is still a work in progress, but quite usable for mission building IMO.
Any comments on the clarity of the installation instructions or the model will be welcome.
LODS still need some work, as do the collision models. There are a few extra files from USS Fletcher included which are still needed as place holders at the moment. The main gun turrets elevate too far at the moment but new gun characteristics need to be specified to correct this, which I've not done yet.

Model is in a new slot, thanks to help and assistance from FC. There are also 11 new reserved slots created which hopefully will get filled in the future. That is why there are so many class files.

Download the model files from here: http://www.mediafire.com/?tl3d50mhmyz
rar file includes a Readme.txt You do need to read it. All the info about text to add to ini and properties files is in there.

You must have ShipPack2 installed first before installing this. One of the ShipPack2 class files will be over written by a new one and a new folder is created for HMS Eskimo.

Although there is still work to do on this I may go onto another ship model, which I've already started, and come back to complete this later. There is an ongoing discussion thread in the Beta discussion section.

If you need Shippack2 get it here viewtopic.php?p=89770#89770
The installation is tricky. See notes here viewtopic.php?p=89769#89769
Where the installation notes refer to technics.properties change to technics_ru.properties and it should work fine.

Destroyer looks extra ! I have question or UI 1.2 contains
ShipPack2 or I have him to install to UI 1.2 ?

[asheshouse]

I'm pleased to see that there are no installation issues being posted.

Adampolska7 --- I've not installed UI 1.2 yet :oops:

I dont think it does include Shppack2 but if I'm wrong can someone correct me.
If you open FMB and look in the objects menu for ShipPack. If its not there then you do not have it.

Get Shippack2 here viewtopic.php?p=89770#89770

The installation is not straightforward, See posts here viewtopic.php?p=89769#89769

Error in the original installation notes --- You must add text lines to technics_ru.properties not technics.properties

Great work, ashehouse. I have some data about main turret Mk.XIX (with two 120 mm Mk.XII guns) for you:
- max angle of elevation: 40 degrees
- speed of elevation&rotation 10 degrees per second
- practical fire rate 10 shots per minute

It's from Sergei Patyanin's brochure "Tribal class destroyers"

Good Luck!

PS Have you ever tried to contact the Subsim.com community? Is there any possibility to export 3D-models&textures of Silent Hunter 3/4 addons to IL2?

[Thunda]

Installed it last night- no problems, looks great, works perfectly.

Thanks a lot for this great mod!

[asheshouse]

Thanks for the info narvik.
It will be very useful.

I need to work out how to add a new gun type.
At the moment I do not know how to do it.

I have experimented with importing models from SH4.

I have imported both HMS Glorious and HMS Nelson into 3DS using SH4 models, but I found that the 3D model was not very accurate. The SH4 models also use a different system to allocate textures compared with IL2.

Dear asheshouse , can you take a look at this please?
