Description

Aided by nearly 6 years' worth of historical reference material at warrelics.eu, I set out to build a replica of the famous merchant submarine U-Deutschland, and like the historical vessel, converted it into a U-Kreuzer configuration for unrestricted submarine warfare. Assembled in 1.5:1 scale for maximum detail and a walkable interior, the 1917 U-Kreuzer replica is a representation of a U-151 type First World War cruiser submarine in fully armed configuration - a pair each of 150mm and 88mm deck guns, plus 2 internal and 4 external torpedo tubes. This hybrid U-151/U-155 loadout was chosen in the interest of gameplay considerations - 2 torpedo tubes would never be adequate in the current version of FtD! The U-151's completed blueprint may be obtained here: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=665844886 The unarmed U-Deutschland Merchant Submarine blueprint is here, for "equip it yourself" purposes. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=663549264 Visit the vehicle build thread here: http://www.fromthedepthsgame.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=18894
