U-96 Submarine (+schematic)

i might make a version you can control with a linked controller

also just to clarify you can't use the helm as periscope depth wouldnt work

and crash dive probably wouldnt either

THOMSEN!

Looks neat, the flak gun has an interesting design.

Is this 1:1 scale? Proportions feel like she's shorter than expected and the bow's weirdly curved for a U-Boat.

[chrome flame]

It's 1:1 but some of it is changed to be more realistic

It also has to be wider to fit any sort of crew compartment inside

[chrome flame]

For the flak i removed the recoil to make the gun a realistic lenght, at the cost of function.

[weary wagon]

Aha, understandable, they are pretty cramped after all.

[weary wagon]

How so?

[chrome flame]

I removed the part

The gun still moves without it, and it assembles fine

I'd rather a 2m long flak than a 3m one as its closer to the real one

which was definitely not 2m, but thats as close as i can get without it looking bad

[weary wagon]

Ah, I see.

Another thing I could suggest is to adjust the camera angles when you're taking screenshots, I recommend following this tutorial to help your ship pop out a bit more:

Oh right, would you perhaps be interested in joining a server dedicated to Minecraft naval battles? You'll be able to find likeminded people who you could discuss ships with there.

[chrome flame]

i'd be up for it

though U-96 wouldn't be able to step up to anything exept a single destroyer

[weary wagon]

Maybe not alone, but a different story with a wolfpack, no? Not to mention, one sneaky one could even sink battleships and carriers, like how U-81 sunk Ark Royal.

I'll send the invite in DMs.

I do help run a structured geopol-ish server around VS combat but it’s waiting on some mods to update/be stable before a 4th season

No one has ever built any naval vessels yet it’s mostly just been planes, tanks and airships

[chrome flame]

id be up for joining!

how longs the server benn up

[chrome flame]

shaders take ages to load on my pc but ill try get some better ones

[weary wagon]

Shaders would look better for showcases, but the most important part is the camera angle, as builds could look good even without shaders if you've got the right angle.

[chrome flame]

i'll give it a watch then

[chrome flame]

Those were raids on ports mainly, and the skippers were very skilled. All the skippers that sunk large ships all had successful U-Boat careers e.g. U-47 sinking the Royal Oak and U-29 sinking the HMS Coragous

[chrome flame]

fixed it! it now uses a helm and the depth system works better.

It’s not up, we finished a 3rd season and are waiting on mods to be stable for S4
