New Ships released by Stuart!

Nice camo patterns Dombral:applause::medals:, I hope you will upload them soon.

DD73

Heavily laden take-offs from the "I" class is hairy, but it can be done, I tried some test missions using the OH F4U1a & F6F3. So long as the carrier is steaming at 30ts, & you start the take off roll from the rear elevator (I appreciate not terribly true to life), you'll make it into the air. If you give it a single notch of flap as you pass the island, & you resist the temptation to pull the nose up as you cross the bow, you can get enough airspeed irrespective of the wind state. Just raise the flaps as your airspeed picks up. :barf:

I looked at the respective flightdeck sizes, the Enterprise is (roughly) 250mtrs long by 34mtrs wide, whereas the "I" class were 230mtrs long by 30mtrs wide. The difference doesn't sound like much, but the difference in width is enough room to sit 2 x F4Fs abreast on the big E's flight deck, & not so for the RN "I" boats. Extrapolating draght measurements & profile drawings I reckon the RN carrier deck was c.10mtrs above water level, whereas the Big "E" sat at c.14mtrs, some 40% higher than the RN carrier's deck. Does the Enterprise look very much larger (side by side) than the VN Illustrious in game?

Your camo work on all this new Stuart ships is excellent and gives a real-life touch to this already good ships. I hope you upload this great skins.

QUESTION: How did you manage to put two aicrafts together in a moving aircraft carrier?:icon_eek:

I don´t remember seeing such a thing before.

Sorry that I right in English but I´m not fluent in French.

vous pouvez m'écrire en Anglais sans problème

Evidemment j'ai l'intention de publier mes camouflages (de Stuart mais aussi de Virtuel navy et autres ) et j'y travaille mais les modèles ne nous facilitent pas toujours la tache .

Pour la présence de plusieurs avions au décollage d'un porte avions en marche c'est B24 qui a inventé l'astuce : en fait il faut créer un airbase en mer et placer le poerte avions dessus . Evidemment c'est plus compliqué à réaliser mais avec l'habitude on y arrivr en quelqes minutes .Le résultat peut etre spectaculaire .View attachment 95065View attachment 95072View attachment 95066View attachment 95067View attachment 95068View attachment 95069View attachment 95070View attachment 95071
 
BPF Carrier Take Off

Hi Devildog
Thank you for you kind comments.:jump:
With regard to the RN Carriers, I compared the VN_Illustrious with the SHA_Yorktown and they look in the correct proportion in terms of length, beam and height. (see attachments)
I have also tested the OH Corsair, OH Hellcat and OH Avenger loaded with Heavy Bombs and have had no problems with take-off from the VN_Illustrious. The ships is set at 30knots and no wind.
I am not sure why you are having problems with take off.
Cheers
Stuart

LOL,
In my attempt to be accurate, I slowed the carriers down to 20 knots. Some of the escort ships in CFS2 are not made to run above 20 knots. Shoot, the HMS Ocean and Colossus class escort carriers are made with top speeds well below 20 Knots.
I don't know how to modify their speed capabilities.

Modifying Ship Speed

Hi Devildog
You can modify a ships speed by opening the DP file in wordpad (or similar) and scrolling down to the [MISC_DATA] section. Here you will find something like the one below (VN_Victorious_1945) from UncleTgt.
The speeds are in kilometres per hour.

[MISC_DATA]
unit_family=7
category=13
allegiance=1
min_speed=0
cruise_speed=55
max_speed=55
entered_service=5/15/41
priority=9
hardness=12

Hmmm! looks like the Victorious is pretty quick in cruise mode!!!
:icon_lol:

Cheers
Stuart
PS HMS Colossus speed is 25 knots (45Kph), according to wiki

Yeah, 55 Km/H cruise and top speeds? Must have burned a lot of fuel just cruising.......
 
Max speed is correct as she was capable of 30Kts. Cruise for max range would be just under half that, say 14Kts or round about 26Km/h.
 
Hey Stuart

I wounder if I could trouble you for a couple more ships.

HMS Revenge --- REVENGE class battleship
HMS Caledon --- CALEDON class Light Cruiser
HMS Carysfort --- CAROLINE class Light Cruiser

I need those three ships for the Tondern Raid

I have your Arethusa class and your V and W destroyers. I also have the HMS Furious. All that is missing now are those three. I have all of the specs if you need them.

here is a list of the ships in the Tondern Raid.
On 17th July Operation F7 left Rosyth dockyard in Scotland made up of the following:

HMS Furious

'Force A'
1st Light Cruiser Squadron:
HMS Caledon --- CALEDON class Light Cruiser
HMS Galatea --- ARETHUSA class Light Cruiser
HMS Royalist --- ARETHUSA class Light Cruiser
HMS Phaeton --- ARETHUSA class Light Cruiser
HMS Inconstant --- ARETHUSA class Light Cruiser

along with destroyer escorts.


'Force B'
1st Battle Squadron:
HMS Revenge --- Revenge class battleship
HMS Royal Oak --- Revenge class battleship
HMS Royal Sovereign --- Revenge class battleship
HMS Resolution --- Revenge class battleship
HMS Ramillies --- Revenge class battleship

7th Light Cruiser Squadron:
HMS Carysfort --- CAROLINE class Light Cruiser
HMS Aurora --- ARETHUSA class Light Cruiser
HMS Penelope --- ARETHUSA class Light Cruiser
HMS Undaunted --- ARETHUSA class Light Cruiser

along with destroyer escorts.

Its funny to note that every ship in the Arethusa class was in on this mission.

Let me know what you think.

Till Later,
John
 
I found the Caledon. She was lost in your fleet.

so that just leaves the Revenge and the Caroline. Looks like I need to plaint another Camel.
 
Revenge and C Class Cruisers

Hi John
The ships you require are in the RN C Class Cruiser package and the RN Battleships package.
They should be somewhere at SOH.

hey stuart,

I'll look for the Battleships. i didn't see a CAROLINE class Light Cruiser in there. i'll take a look in Jane's fighting ships and see if one of your others match.

The ships look Awesome by the way. I hope to get a Sopwith Camel 2F.1 operational real soon. I have completed the 50lb coopers. so the Tondern Raid is taking shape.
 
I am so blind...

Blind as a Bat...

I found the ship. You know, I looked in that folder 6 times... atleast 6. over looked it every time.

So that just means a 'Ships Camel' is all thats left.
