Upon closer inspection, she is the S.S. Earl Sigurd, a 221t cargo steamer. She was powered by a 60hp (no, that's not a typo) Triple Expansion 3 cylinder steam engine that afforded her a top speed of 10kn, she was built in 1930 and served until 1969, and during WWII she was armed with a single 20mm Oerlikon AA gun for defense. She is the small black ship on the starboard side of the Ryujo Edited June 9, 2017 by dseehafer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought that Kaiser and König were also modified. Neither Kaiser nor Konig's stock hulls are historical, though, Konig's is close. Interestingly enough, the Konig is the only historical German battleship in the game that does not have a historically accurate representative of its class through a hull option or premium sister.

If we ignore the main guns on Gneisenau she is also historical on the A-Hull EDIT: I bet you will prove me wrong on this, you are that type of guy who finds the smallest of difference at a detail.

I mean, I know the general statistics for most warships as well (number of guns, gun size, speed, length etc..) For example the ways the FCS works on different ships, electronics, optical systems, radar and it's efficiency, those technichal details. Or gun performance.

900 vonKaiser Alpha Tester 2,902 posts 6,252 battles Report post #25 Posted June 9, 2017 Kind of reminds me of the cargo ship in 'Mister Roberts.' Similar lines, but the bow is too short. Ship used in Mister Roberts was a Camano Class, the USS Hewell. I still want that ship in game somewhere with a random Palm tree flying off the side from time to time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
