C.O.R.E: Tech photos for 0.7

[nachinus]

As you may know if you usually check the CORE general disscussion thread, 0.7 is being tested, pulished and prepared to be released. You may know as well that the tech tree has been revised, re-balanced and improved in all aspects. This means that a lot of new techs have been added, and they need their individual pictures for each one. We have more than 100 new pics for the new tech tree, but still we miss photographs for some of the techs. The current list of techs without pic is:

-Naval Techs:

Weight saving tech (to meet Washington treaty) *found*
Semi-modern fire control (missiles) *found*
surface and aircraft coordination *found*
Nuclear Super Cruiser *found*
Nuclear Guided Missile Battleship *found*

-Naval Doctrines

Battleline doc *found*
Battleline cruiser doc *found*
Scouting cruiser doc *found*
Mobile fleet base defence doc *found*
Close Blockade doc *found*
Distant blockade doc *found*
Submarine anti-commerce doctrine *found*
Coastal convoy protection doc *found*
Choke point control doctrine *found*
Commerce Raider doctrine *found*


-Submarine tech:

Analog filters *found*
Basic Air Scrubbers *found*
Basic submarine centimetric radar Detector *found*
Improved Waterproof AA guns *found*
Improved Closed Cycle Engine *found*
Improved Walter Turbine Engine *found*
Improved Closed Cycle Short Range Submarine *found*
Acoustic Countermeasures
Basic Decimetric radar Detector
Improved Walter Engine Short Range Submarine

-Armor Tech:

Post-war +120mm tank *found*



Any help with those pics would be *MUCH* appreciated. If you have or can find or know of any pic that could be suitable for some of the above techs, please let us know by posting here. I know that this sounds like a 'wanted' announcement in a western movie... well, that's exactly what it is!!

Thanks in advance for joining the CORE effort!!!

Thanks, bizkit! I used the name of the ship to search a pic and found lots of them!

Here is the USS Albany the only nuclear powered cruiser I could think of while maintaining some large guns.

http://www.battleships-cruisers.co.uk/images/quarto.jpg here is the Italian scout cruiser the Quarto, launched in 19 August 1911, she fits HoI's time frame as she was still in service by 1936 and only missed particpating in the war because one of her boilers exploded.

The link doesn't seem to work for me

Aww crap, well try this http://www.multied.com/Navy/cruiser/Albany.gif

That worked, thanks!

I must be missing something? Albany was NOT nuclear powered! In fact it was a WWII heavy cruiser rebuilt by removing all of the superstructure and all 203mm guns, and basically all of the rest as well, just retaining two 127mm guns and adding Talos and Tartar for anti-aircraft defense. Other heavy cruisers rebuilt in this way was Chicago and Columbus.

The pic of Albany shows her in her original condition as a heavy cruiser.

Boston and her sistership Canberra was the only two heavy cruisers rebuilt by the US that retained part of their main 203mm guns (in the forward turrets), and they did not have nuclear propulsion.

None of the US nuclear powered cruisers had guns with a larger calibre of 127mm, but there where plans during the seventies for a single automatic 203mm gun to be added to ships down to destroyer size, but for one reason or the other, this idea was discarded.

.....D'oh! Yah I'll keep looking, I'm a moron! o here's the Kirov.

Last three needed

THese are the last three we need for 0.7:

Improved Walter Engine Short Range Submarine

Acoustic Countermeasures

Basic Decimetric radar Detector

Kirov.[/URL]

We're using a pic of the Kirov for Nuclear Guided Missile Battleship. Yeah, i know it's not a BB, but a heavy cruiser... but there are not many nuclear BB with guided missiles around there to choose from.

 

[Semi-Lobster]

Well you wanted super cruiser so what's more super than a nuclear heavy cruiser?!

USS Long Beach. was the first Nuclear powered ship in the US navy.

 

[nachinus]

Perfect

Btw, I am LOVING these new tech photos.

As a former BMW tech, I am going to scour for some good shots of 'engine' stuff for the various techs and see if you guys would like those for the future.

Did you correct the one photo about for some type of battleship/cruiser that showed a CV?

 

[Semi-Lobster]

I can't find an engine but I could find this.
It's a picture of collapsible hydrogen peroxide storage bags being removed from the 300-ton Type XVIIB Walter boat U-1407 after the war. With the type of storage outside th pressure hull, fuel could be consumed without appreciable change in trim – seawater simply replaced the depleted volume.

Yes, it's corrected

I'm thinking about using it for Improved Walter Engine Short Range Submarine... sure the XVIIB was not a Short range SS, and we used other XVII pics for other Walter models, but hey, in the pic you can't tell what model it is, and at least it's a Walter SS!

Now seriously, i'd like to find a better pic, but if we don't, i would use it undoubtedly. I'm growing quite desperate about those last 3 pics! :wacko: If i continue searching google will ban me!

Oh! You'd except the subs to! I thought you where aiming for a picture of the engines! If you just want the u-boat then here is an actual XVIIB picture.
