Scharnhorst - I haven't checked the model count of a complete model. I only exported the hull section.
but looking at the mesh it seemed to be about twice the density of an IL2 battleship.
The Silent Hunter models include alot of minor details modelled in the mesh which in IL2 are only detailed in the texture. It would be quite easy to remove those I think.
I'm not planning to take this any further at the moment because I want to progress my own HMS Warspite model, --- and get back to map making at some point.
I posted the links so that others who are interested in ships might investigate further.
The next step may be to compile a "library" of ship models in 3DS format, as an interim step to converting them to IL2. Maybe a small destroyer would be a good test of the conversion process. Even if its poly count is too high it should still work ok. No worse than an IL2 battleship.
