New ships/classes for first patch

[Tankerace]

Some are additions, some are oversights. Also note that the 53cm 6 Nendo Shiki has now become the 53cm 44YT-II Torpedo, the 53cm 8 Nendo Shiki the 53cm 6YT, the 45cm Torpedo the 45cm 44YT-II Torpedo, and the 61cm 9YT-II Torpedo has been added. Sorry for the confusion, was using navweaps.com for Japanese WWI-WWII torpedo info, and it was kindof sparse until....well, recently. Note that while not a biggie, some ships torpedos have had to be juggled around (for instance, all non DD surface ships w/31" Torpedoes use the 44YT-II, while DDs and subs use the 6YT. Also, Tosa, Amagi, No. 13, Nagara, Sendai, Yubari, and Furutaka classes all have the 61cm (24 inch ) torpedo. And no, this torpedo is in no way related to the Long Lance (WPO ends 3 years too early.

Now, some screens.

The Cruiser Furutaka. Note how different her appearance and armament is. She does no upgrade to the post treaty design of 3 twin 8" mounts.

[Tankerace]

The 1917 designed Yubari (again, vastly different from WitP).

[Tankerace]

In 1927 now, the Nagaras and Kumas upgrade and can carry a floatplane.

[Tankerace]

Minesweeper M1. An omission on my part (oops). Unlike WItP, is properly divided into W1 and W5 classes. W1's arrive 1923-24, W5s 1928.

[Tankerace]

By popular request, HMS Hermes.

HMS Eagle will not be added, she will be assumed to be completed for Chili, which in turn allows the laod of HMS Canada back to Britain.

[Tankerace]

And the V-5 Class submarine, better known as USS Narwhal. While I was going to leave her out (she commisions in June of 1930), I decided that she can play in the game in the last five months.


And sorry modders, I used all of the ship based device slots adding in all these weapons. That said, just about (if not all) 1920's US, British, French, Japanese, Dutch, and Russian weapons are in, so I don't see that being a major headache.

You're having entirely too much fun Tanker...[:D]

[Gem35]

SWEEET...the Hermes is in the game .... (plays air guitar and sings "back in the saddle again")

[RedLancer]

OK - I accept that HMS Eagle won't be a carrier - but surely if she was finally completed as a BB then the UK would have held onto her anyway in the WPO timeline. I understand that she would have been called HMS India.
