Tanelorn's Fleet

[gapetit]

I ask for Falklands scenario: Santa Fé, Splendid and english Nuke submarines; Invincible, Hermes, and 25 de Mayo carriers; Gral. Belgrano and Sheffield boats. And missiles: Seacat, Sea Dart and Exocet. They are possible?

 

[gapetit]

Thanks Tanelorn!

Here comes the Santa Fe:
To the left the WWII Balao class it was launched as in 1944, to the right the Guppy II it was converted to in 1949 (actually the USS Catfish SS-339) before it was delivered to the Argentine Navy in 1971. After landing a marine party at South Georgia in 23 April 1982 it was attacked by hellicopters, badly damaged, abbandoned & captured by the British.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Splendid_(S106) was a Swiftsure-class nuclear attack submarine. Unlike the HMS Conueror, it mostly shadowed enemy forces.

 

[gapetit]

Thanks Tanelorn
Swiftsure-class nuclear attack submarine is very good. Not to sound ungrateful , but can you fit in that style (seen from above) Santa Fe submarine?

 

[Tanelorn]

No problemo:

 

[Tanelorn]

Look what I found here. Gareth had included this Brooklyn class light cruiser in his OG collection (that is the class the Argentinian General Belgrano belonged to, as the USS Phoenix https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARA_General_Belgrano ) so I just boxed it for ToT - maybe he intended to resize it for Civ2? Don't know. X that off the list.

Type 42 Sheffield next. The Argentine Hercules and Santissima Trinidad were sister ships too.

 

[gapetit]

Great!

Nice work on these T

... and thanks for spotting I'd already drawn a Gen. Belgrano (although I hadn't realised )

I have this already if it helps the collection btw:

 

[Tanelorn]

Superb!
That Sea Harrier kicks bass.
I will try the 25 de Mayo, the ex- British, (edit- also ex- Canadian, wtf) ex- Dutch Argentine Colossus class light carrier next.

 

[gapetit]

Incredible units!
I like a lot Tanelorn and Fairline

Thanks

If it helps, I already have a Colossus in these pics for Open General, although I guess it is too big for ToT. Might save you some time as a start point though

 

[Tanelorn]

Thanks Gareth. I did the sqweeze already. I will add the angled deck, modified stack and radars next and its done.
