HMS Hermes R12 Released V2.5


Recommended Posts

Looking awesome, Cant wait for these to be out so I can use the updated versions in my missions, but also cant wait so you can start work on the 60's version So i can fly skyhawks off it!

 

I am sure you cant give a time frams on how long these will take but ball park 2 months?

yeah about 2 months..

 

At the time of writing it looks like the 80s will be first then the 70s.

 

The 60s will need a bit more work load to do.

1944 laid down, finished in 58

60s is CATBAR 1959-71

70s is ASW / Commando 1973-80 < cat and traps were taken out and a large chunk of the angled deck was cut out for the landing crafts.

80s STOVL 1981-2017 < Added the ski jump

 

The only airframe that can use her and as a CATBAR carrier in game is the A4.

I know it would be entirely fictional and there isn't much source material but would you ever consider making the canclled CVA01?

 

Would be a perfect mod for the upcoming Falkland map that RAZBAM are doing.

 

Or better yet Ark Royal the 70's refit that had the Buccs and F4Ks

 

Can't wait for your Hermes mod update use it all the time with the AV8B here's hoping to an FRS 1 one day.

The plans for the CVA01 are available at the the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich* along with Ark Royal and ,sort of, Eagle as well.

 

Never know, the Tomcat might even be able to use it.....

 

*guess where I'm going Friday for a chat...

 

Quick Hermes update...

 

Making the Sea cats and the command thingy and complete redo of the textures as there are errors that needs fixing... again...

 

 

Current textures are temporary anyway

If you actually did that would be insane, one if the British skinning guys I am with plans on reskinning the Forrestal when it becomes available but actually having a CVA 01 would be a Whole other level.

 

Did you manage to get down to the national Maratime museum?

I haven't tried it with the F14.

 

IRL they had trials with the phantom but she was too small and the cats were to short and weak for it, along with the newer jets, her deck wasn't strong enough hence why she and others were converted to Commando / ASW ships.

At present the only airframe (realistically speaking) that can use the 60s version is the A-4 mod.

She did trails with the F-4 but they found out that her cats were too weak and too short plus her flight deck (landing area) would need strengthening to cope with new heavier airframes.

 

Will have to wait for the CV01 to use the Tomcat and Hornet on a Royal Navy Carrier in DCS.

But don't expect the 60s Cat 'n' Trap version anytime soon....

 

Realise will be -

Phase 1 aka sea trails

As is..

Working and animated Lights

 

Phase 2 aka shake down

Fixing any errors

LODS

 

Phase 3 aka Weapon Trails

Weapon systems online

 

Phase 4 aka Commissioning

Release Version 2.0
