For custom livery

why do i need invicible carrier?

Currently learning how to use blender. Once i know how it works then i can try.

aight.

Blender I believe

What 3D Modelling software does Sea Power Use?

I mean if I find someone with the 3D modelling skills to do that then yes

@BrotherMunro any chance of the model looking like this ???

Apparently they considered extending the sides to add a pair of phalanxs to the centerline but it would have been to costly so they never did it. But it could have been possible to add 1 on top of the hanger.

Also would it be possible to add the pair off 30mm auto cannon's to each side with the 5 martlet missiles on them because it was tested on bored HMS Sutherland back in 2019 !!

I probably could, was that something that was considered?

Hey you couldn't make a fictional version of the type 23 with a phalanx on top of the hanger and CAMM replaced by CAMM-ER ??

I've not done any work with sea lifter/anchor chain so I'm afraid I don't know what is causing that

interestingly with sea lifter and anchor chain plus the other royal navy mods soemthing does not like this mod as im getting major texture issues.

Any chance could we get the modern version off the type 23 with its CAMM missiles and its radar upgrade plus NSM are even just better RGM 84 ??

Importing models into sea power is a bit awkward, and I’d need someone to make one of a Type 23, so this is a proxy (like most of the mods available at the moment)

This looks nothing like a Type 23 Frigate. Is this meant to be a joke?

Quite the sure the Harpoon Launchers on these frigates are suppose to face outward rather than inward. Small nitpick.

NTU adjusts a few speeds (nimitz, la), might be smart for the T23, Lancaster was recorded at 32 knots in open source media in the 90's even before it got anti fouling paint, transom flap (worth about 3 knots), so 33.5 seems reasonable

Wouldn't the Garcia-class be a better ships to base the Type 23 on?

@kmknowles001 if your using the type 42 mod put this one above that, it still has a residual early sea wolf in the 42's files that are 40km

40?! Should be 6! Have they aquired Sea Darts by mistake? I'll look into that @cloudybeer

Sea Wolf range is 40km?? Should be 10km.

The steamer I'd very much like to see in the final RN Orbat is the Leander Class. I served as the Underwater Warfare Officer (PWO(U)) of two of these fine ships back in the 80s - Arethusa (Ikara Mod) and Phoebe (Exocet Mod) both fittted with the towed array Sonar 2031 India. Had many a fun time with Victor 2/3s, Echo 2s and the occasional Delta!

Yes this is a Knox class that has had stuff swapped around! I might be able to get the harpoon launchers correct once I find another model in game with them that I understand how it works 😅 fully custom models will take some time as steam won’t allow modders to pull a model from another game (as we don’t have the right to do that)

Assume these and other custom models are reuses of in game asserts as I noticed that the Type-23 here is a single screw hull, also missing the harpoon quad tubes forward of the bridge, can't wait till the game supports the import of new 3d models to let you modders really spread your wings/

I’m working on the Type 22 now, though they’re quite tricky. As for the type 23 they are very modern ASW frigates for Sea Power, but they aren’t exactly amazing or overpowered 😅

The batch 3 T22's would probably a great, time accurate asset for the base game- with the sea wolf launchers fore and aft, bigger hangar, 4.5 inch gun, 8 harpoons, TAS and Goalkeeper Ciws. Love the NTU mod for example but the 23's are probably too modern to go in the base game

@Shane, It is certainly doable to make proxies of 21st century ships, but we don't have any suitable models for them. Given the game's scope I'm going to try and help fill out the RN's cold war roster :)

True @50Stone but HMS Glasgow isn't due to enter commissioned service until 2026/27 so the Type 23 is still the front line ASW frigate in the RN, which I'm pretty sure the designers of the Type 23 would be very surprised by, they'd probably also be surprised to learn the expected end of life date for the class is 2035!

Type-23 isn't the Royal Navy's newest ASW Frigate, that would be the Type-26. Still thanks for bringing Royal Navy ships to game

Amazing mod!

I just imagine the future ships that can be added, the Type 45, Type 26, QE Class Carriers, Type 31 ect for UK, and future ships for other nations as Sea Power develops.

I need to work on a Type 22 now don't I xD

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH MY ESCORTS
