Haven't tried that. Nice pictures. Some of your pictures are already in the game, right? So what's the difference between yours and the stock pictures? Where are you, that it's so cold? Russia?

Yes, you're right. So Varyag is not my priority now. Here some new pictures for Russian destroyers Vnimatelni (unfinished) Bravyy (1st Pacific Squadron paint scheme) Bravyy (2nd Pacific Squadron paint scheme)

I'm working on third version now. If nothing happens, I will present it befor weekend. The third version will include: - new tuning of Japanese cruisers displacement;
- new and updated pictures for many ships with historical paint schemes (Amur, Bayan, Bravyy, Dimtri Donskoim, Iwate, Kasagi, Lena, Naniwa, Niitaka, Novik, Otawa, Puilki, Varyag, Vladimir Monomakh, Vnimatelni, Zhemchug);
- updated scenarios about Donskoi and Oushakov dramatic battles at the 2nd day of Tsushima;
- revised and optimised scenarios for playing vs AI ("RU" label in scenario name - Russian side vs AI, "JP" label - Japanese side vs AI);
- two new small historical scenarios (Novik vs Tsushima and Chitose, destroyers battle near Port-Artur);
- and maybe something else

So, here new pictures (in progress) of two similar Russian protected cruisers: Novik (1st Pacific Squadron) - 3000t, 25knots, 6*120/45 guns
Zhemchug (2nd Pacific Squadron) - 3100t, 24knots, 8*120/45 guns I could not found information about range finders on small protected cruisers. Can anyone tell about this moment? Maybe we need additional suggestion - don't use range finders in protected cruisers which displacement less than 4000t. This will decrease accuracy at 10%. Cruisers with small displacement were bad platform for artillery.

Nice to hear that someone like this mod. We talked about Varyag earlie and I just completed it picture . It didn't require much time. Now it looks like this It has pre-war paint scheme of 1st Pacific Squadron. This paint scheme was during the battle of Chemulpo.

BATTLE OF CHEMULPO BAY SCENARIO For Varyag testing I create new scenario - Battle of Chemulpo Bay. It represent situation at 12:20 while all sides opened fire. In this scenario Japanese force have Naniva with 8*152/40 guns (not Naniva89 with 2*260/35 + 6*150/35) and Niikata. Also it include some alternative like fighting without Korietz or without Naniva and Niitaka. Use historical force level for starting with all ships or variable force level for alternative situation. At any moment Varyag may return to Chemulpo and be saved. Japanese force can not enter into bay. Best play at Russian side vs AI. Good hunting!

Thanks!
I have been able to get the Varyag out of there, playing as Russians, using the stock scenario, by sacrificing the Koryets. But it's hard. Will try this. Will it be part of mod v3?
