As for proposed stats, this is for RMS Olympic after she converted to oil-firing:

Type: 80 - xAP
Nationality: 09 - British
Max Speed Kts: 23
Cruise Speed Kts: 21
Endurance: 4000
Fuel: 5500
Manuever: 17
Durability: 112
Troop Capacity: 7000
Bulk Cargo Capacity: 1300
Tonnage: 52067

Hrafnagud.... Thats really nice and thanks for the stats as well.

Now I can add a few more ghost from the past to my mod Thanks again !!

That cammo seems better than WW2 style - WWI ships seem to have generally better paint jobs.



Hrafnagud -> RE: Olympic and Titanic art? (12/18/2020 10:58:00 AM)

Just realised I gave you a top speed of 23 for Olympic - actually Olympic could make 24 knots easily, whereas Titanic made 23 knots (Olympic had better machinery yielding more SHP, if I recall correctly - I think she went well above 50,000 SHP on occasions).

So you can increase Olympic's top speed to 24, and consequently maneuver value should go up to 18.

Titanic chowed through a lot of coal - about 6,600 tons - to cruise for eight days/4,000 nautical miles. Olympic was converted to oil firing in 1919, as a consequence of which her fuel bunkerage decreased to 5,500 tons.



Cavalry Corp -> RE: Olympic and Titanic art? (12/18/2020 11:00:57 AM)

Many thanks - I will amend them

Got any other nice ships up your sleeve??

One ship I always wanted to try was HMS Hood.



Hrafnagud -> RE: Olympic and Titanic art? (12/18/2020 11:14:02 AM)

Out of interest - here is Olympic in her civilian livery in 1934

Cavalry Corp -> RE: Olympic and Titanic art? (12/18/2020 11:14:17 AM)

I am especially interested in odd and obsolete ships any potential nation - its all to add some chrome as my mod has assumed less scrapping interwar :)

Added you to the credits in the readme already.



Hrafnagud -> RE: Olympic and Titanic art? (12/18/2020 11:14:28 AM)

Now that's a nice challenge. Let me see what I can do.



Hrafnagud -> RE: Olympic and Titanic art? (12/18/2020 11:37:14 AM)

Here is HMS Hood just before her sinking.

Estimates re stats - Top speed 31 knots, maneuver value 25

Hrafnagud -> RE: Olympic and Titanic art? (12/18/2020 11:37:56 AM)

And the shil

Hrafnagud -> RE: Olympic and Titanic art? (12/18/2020 11:41:38 AM)

Some fuller stats for HMS Hood:

Name: Hood
Type: 6 - BC
Nationality: 09 - British
Max Speed Kts: 31
Cruise Speed Kts: 14
Endurance: 7500
Fuel: 3895
Maneuver: 25
Durability: 145
Belt Armor: 305
Deck Armor: 76
Tower Armor: 280
Tonnage: 42670 (standard)



Cavalry Corp -> RE: Olympic and Titanic art? (12/18/2020 12:02:27 PM)

Ah no .... I have a problem . I just cannot get the art to work for Titanic and Olympic - have you tried them in you system. I have checked everything about 5 times even re started the PC no joy?

I will try Hood ( excellent btw)



Cavalry Corp -> RE: Olympic and Titanic art? (12/18/2020 12:16:24 PM)

Tried Hood also does not display??



Cavalry Corp -> RE: Olympic and Titanic art? (12/18/2020 12:18:55 PM)

Aha these are Jpg the format is Bmp?



Hrafnagud -> RE: Olympic and Titanic art? (12/18/2020 12:31:50 PM)

Yes - apologies, it did not allow me to upload .bmp. Simply change the file extensions to .bmp as opposed to .jpg.

I need to get WinZip so I can upload the unaltered bitmap files.



Cavalry Corp -> RE: Olympic and Titanic art? (12/18/2020 12:45:12 PM)

Yes I use Ifran?? free program. You cannot just change the . jpg to .bmp extention I was told, it has to be kind of converted. Nevermind all working now and many thanks. Had this problem once before

Do you have suggested starting armaments for the Hood?

the other item I am after is a proper French FP for their ships? Trouble is I am not sure how to add plane are as my partner did it but is off the scene for a while. We are using RA8.0 as a base so need to be careful not to upset the existing files.



Hrafnagud -> RE: Olympic and Titanic art? (12/18/2020 12:52:35 PM)

Please try again - here is Hood in BMP format in a Zip file.



Hrafnagud -> RE: Olympic and Titanic art? (12/18/2020 12:53:27 PM)

And here is Olympic (in her WWI Dazzle camouflage when she was used as a troop ship).

Re French floatplanes - depends which era?



Cavalry Corp -> RE: Olympic and Titanic art? (12/18/2020 1:12:30 PM)

OK have fixed the art many many thanks...

I have done the Hood and or estimated some of the lighter arms as this is hypothetical anyway.

French sea plane, want something for the Surcouf SS and also the CA BB etc. 41-45





Hrafnagud -> RE: Olympic and Titanic art? (12/19/2020 6:07:25 AM)

Loire 130 for the big surface combatants.

Besson MB.411 for the Surcouf.

Check out LST's Bottlenecks mod - he added the Surcouf to his mod.



Cavalry Corp -> RE: Olympic and Titanic art? (12/19/2020 10:01:09 AM)

OK thanks but I need the individual plane files I assume - how do I get those? And how do I add them. I am fine with ships but have no idea on planes as in my mod my old opponent did that but he is off the scene for the immediate future.

I have the sub already :)



Cavalry Corp -> RE: Olympic and Titanic art? (12/19/2020 10:02:41 AM)

Also can I have the shil please for the Olympic civy style - I will use that for the war opener... or can I use the other shil and just change the number?



Hrafnagud -> RE: Olympic and Titanic art? (12/19/2020 10:22:19 AM)

Here you go.



Cavalry Corp -> RE: Olympic and Titanic art? (12/19/2020 10:22:57 AM)

Thanks



Cavalry Corp -> RE: Olympic and Titanic art? (1/4/2021 1:29:46 PM)

Has anyone got any art and or stats for the British M class subs interwar with the 12 inch gun?

I was hoping Hrafnagud may be up for the challenge

Tks

Cav




DOCUP -> RE: Olympic and Titanic art? (1/5/2021 12:33:59 AM)

Thanks for the art, they look great. Any other ship art floating around out there?
