I don't have any PT boats planned at the moment. I may do one in the future, but it wouldn't be for a while. Check with Wyrmshadow, he has made alot of ships, but I'm not sure whether he has made a PT boat or not.

Here are some new attack sounds for the guns. Attack01 is for AttackA and Attack02 is for AttackB. Attack01 has the sound of the turrets traversing and then firing. Attack02 is gunfire only. There is a bug when you select autobombard, it skips the sound every other salvo. I don't know if the soundclip is too long or what.

Cool stuff!!!
Errr, how come this great unit, with its 5 or 6 times revised (and truelly perfected) animation graphics and now even superb sounds still lacks its Ini file

hmm, Japanese wwii vessels....... or a modern German 123/124 Class Frigate.... also British and Franco-Italian Cruisers and destroyers were plentiful and diverse during wwii...Drivebymaster said:
(I even got an "inspiration listing" of unusual cruisers flying around somewhere, including such interesting vessels such as Dutch De Ruyter, Spanish Baleares, Danish Niels Juel, and Swedish Drottning Victoria)... Yet for the moment I think Vingrjoe needs a rest

I had my eye on some Cold War era US and Soviet ships.....
All I can think of that Japan needs for WWII era is a cruiser and destroyer.

Thats bout it for Japan 
Cold does need newer ships so I see where your going with this.

Drottning Victoria wasn't a cruiser... It was an armoured ship (pansarskepp in Swedish)... It had two pairs of 28cm guns, so you really can't call it a cruiser... I don't think Niels Juel was a cruiser either... I'm not sure about that one, though... I'm sorry for the nit-picking, but as a Swede I just had to say this...W.i.n.t.e.r said:I even got an "inspiration listing" of unusual cruisers flying around somewhere, including such interesting vessels such as Dutch De Ruyter, Spanish Baleares, Danish Niels Juel, and Swedish Drottning Victoria...

Ahaaa, somewhat biased, aren't we ???
LoL- yes, I know the Drottning Victoria and its two sister ships were Coastal Defence Ships- i.e. a heavy armor, gun turreted artillery vessel with short range and unsubstantial seagoing ability. Niels Juel unfortunately was also a vessel that wore the same type of tag, while not being at all comparable to the former: In fact the Juel was more of a Heavy Gunboat, while quite seaworthy also a rather short range craft, with only secondary armament.
While neither of the two are what I called them, you must agree that by calling them both "coastal defence ships" (as their blueprints original denominations suggest) it wouldn't have made it easier. The closest to any mainstream international denomination of these would lead Juel to become something close to a "light Cruiser" while D.Victoria would be something between an Armored Heavy Coastal Cruiser and an Artillery Plattform Vessel. The term Pansarkepp should be as unique as the entire class in itself.
An extremely nice craft for cruiser purposes (and since you are a patriot you'll surely agree with me
) would be the Gotland Class (though again the Swedes managed to turn it into something very different to a cruiser, by converting it into a 3-fold hybrid; part carrier, part tender, part cruiser (and keeping the rear turret by repositioning it just aft the citadel 
- how on earth did that work out with the magazine??)
Always wanna stick out, huh ??
Drottning Victoria would have been comparable to what the Deutschland Class had initially been planned as, although the Germans would then, during the preparations for a confrontation with the British empire opt for a high speed sea-going raider vessel instead of a sluggish coastal juggernought that would have merely allowed a limited patrol range.
@Vingroe: Actualy Japan already has one (wwii) destroyer, by Wyrmshadow (I am deeply sorry but I forgot the class name) and I know for sure he has another escort destroyer model (by Erik) on his PC, vegetating its life away waiting to be animated. Cruisers are in need though. Mogami et al.

Ohh well if Vingrjoe makes a japanese sea unit by god let him...cuz if he does end up doing the same class it wont matter...because that means more of a selection.
But anyways let Vingrjoe do the cold war era cuz there are some sweet ships in that era.

I read in a book about the Swedish Navy that one of the reasons the Germans didn't invade Sweden was because they feared the Swedish Navy...
The Aircraft-Cruiser (Flygplanskryssare) Gotland was rebuilt to a AA-Cruiser in 1943... 57mm, 40mm and 25mm Bofors guns were mounted on the former flightdeck and the 152mm guns in the barbettes on the sides of the command tower were removed...
The Japanese destroyer Wyrshadow made is the Akizuki-class...
Edit: If I ever learn how to make units the Swedish Navy of WW2 will be at the top of my to do-list...

Cheers, Akizuki it is (I think the other one was a escort of the Matsu Class, the Sakura)
Hmm, I won't say much about the archaic fears of Germans towards Swedes here- just that once landed in Norway they'd have gotten to ya overland while on the other hand not having needed battling the Swedish vessels (who in effect would have proven that one bit too much to tackle IMO. After all the German sea campaign against British, French, Norwegian (and yes: Danish) naval forces was brutal carnage, there are a few webpages about the maritime losses on both sides- its a very long and gruesome list. While Sweden wouldn't have stood a chance it was much better kept out of the war than drwn into it: It was no real threat to German interest in the region, and also did not maintain ties to Britain and France (here the Norwegian support of those two while being itself neutral proved deadly) and it was happily trading with Germany- and got military hardware as a reward for it.

P.S.Y.C.H.O. said:I read in a book about the Swedish Navy that one of the reasons the Germans didn't invade Sweden was because they feared the Swedish Navy...
Sweden is a great nation with a great history, its behavior during WW2 is not what made it great. It reduced Sweden in almost everyone's eyes.
The Germans were not afraid of the Swedish Navy.
Once Germany completed the conquest of Norway and Denmark, the Swedish navy was a complete non issue.
The Germans could have quite easily conquered Sweden, they simply choose not to. They got everything they ever wanted from Sweden with out having to conquer it. Sweden was a tool of Nazi Germany. They refused England and France the right to transport troops to help Finland. Sweden helped the Nazis conquer Norway. Sweden allowed Nazi Germany to transport 2,14million troops on Swedish rail.
It was the source of much of the iron needed for the German war machine. In this iron ore was one of the key reasons the Germans invaded Norway, since this Ore was shipped out of Narvik, Norway and the Norwegians were not trying to help the Nazis. Germany was completely dependent on this ore. Most experts think that the Swedish ore, by itself, lengthen the war by two years. There were other things the Swedes did as well, such as the worlds highest grade ball bearings and ball bearing machines, and so on. The Swedes warmed themselves with coal stolen from the poles in exchange.
I could go on, but my point is made. History is what it is. Don't pretend what happened was something else. For example, Germany has learned and moved forward without bothering with trying to pretend that what they did was proper.

... well, must have been some Swedish book anyways... 
I preferr good ol' English historians for this period, and contemporary American/Hebrew econo-political entities for the present outlook (Horray to S. P. Huntington btw.)

You're right. Sorry for my part in it.
Nice update on your ship.
The changing flight path of the missles is very realistic, but will probably look strange in game.
