HMS New Zealand

[jakla1027]

Hello,

Does anyone have a late 1930's or early 40's modernized version of HMS New Zealand in their WiTP:AE game/editor?
I wanted to included her into my scenario as if she was kept by the New Zealand Navy after WWI & the Washington naval treaty.
I have already copied as much as I could from WPO & have the art work. I'm just wondering about an early WWII era AA arrangement. Has anyone here made the stats in the editor for a WWII New Zealand, or does anyone have any good recommendations for what the AA setup would be like on her?

Thanks

Might be a bit difficult to assign her a proper medium AA suite, given the set-up of her wing turrets, but I'll have a go.

Here's my version. The casemate-mounted 4in guns have been removed, and replaced with 4in HA mounts. The ship is assumed to have converted to oil burning and had a very slight deck armour upgrade. Not really worth it, but she was quite a symbol to the Kiwis, so why not?

Plus the kiwis basically paid for her construction, so why not let them keep her as a symbol! [:D]

Anyway thank you very much Terminus!![&o]

Could I ask you to do some more stats for other ships sometime?

[Terminus]

You can always ask.

Thanks again Terminus,

How about this time, same conditions but for HMS Agincourt?

Please! [:D]

[Terminus]

With all eight million guns...[:D]

[Terminus]

I see I forgot to change the designation of her main battery. They should be called Mk XIII. No different from the Mk X, but still...

Thanks Again[&o][&o][&o]

Whilst on the topic of Agincourt there was a plan to convert her to a Mobile Naval Base which maybe more useful for a WitP:AE player.

Hello,

I have another request Terminus if you have the time.

How about the WWI era British K class submarine? The horrendous "killer" class. If you could make her that would be sweet. If you have any thoughts or theories on what a modernised version would look like for early WWII I'd be glad to see it.

Thanks for your time Terminus[&o]

[dwg]

You might be better off with an updated HMS X1 (with fixed engines), rather than trying to fix the Ks, though K26 supposedly fixed most of the problems.

[Terminus]

Been away for a bit, so I only saw this now. Lemme take a look at it.

[Terminus]

Here's a first draft. It's difficult to conceive of these two types getting any sort of comprehensive refits, given how suicidal the K-class was and the "White Elephant" status of the X1. Seriously, I think I'd rather hop down an open elevator shaft than be on a diving K-class.

I see there's a couple of errors in the K-class writeup. The TTs in slots 3 and 4 should be LS and RS, respectively.

THANKS!!! Terminus[&o]

And yes....the elevator shaft does sound more appealing.[:D]

On the "K" class sub, shouldn't the Durability be closer to 20 to represent her max dive depth of 200 feet.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Correct. This really was a first draft. Reduced the "K" class to 20 Dur and the X1 to 35 Dur.

Ok terminus, been a while, but could you build the USS Ranger for me good sir?

Thx
