- Fusō (Super Dreadnought Class)
Dominate the high seas with one of Japan’s most recognizable capital ships. The model perfectly captures her iconic, towering Pagoda mast and devastating arrangement of main batteries. A true behemoth that will strike fear into any rival empire. - Fubuki (Destroyer Class)
Deploy the vessel that completely revolutionized destroyer design worldwide. Known for her incredible speed and heavy armament, the Fubuki is sleek, deadly, and ready to lead your screen fleets or execute devastating torpedo runs. - Matsushima (Protected Cruiser Class)
Step back into the late 19th century with this unique historical gem. Built around a singular, monstrous 320mm Canet main gun, this protected cruiser brings unmatched character and authentic flavor to your early-game modern navy.
The original 3D base models belong to their respective authors (ThomasBeerens and Red Kaiser). All assets are adapted under standard non-commercial usage for the modding community.
I have performed a massive overhaul to make this mod possible:
- сonducted heavy retopology (reducing the polygon count by up to 80%),
- re-engineered several elements completely from scratch,
- fully remade the texture maps into optimized DDS/PBR formats,
- built custom bone skeletons, locator systems, and fire/movement animations from the ground up.
- Русский: включен
- Français, Deutsch, Español, 日本語, 简体中文, 한국어 Polski, Português do Brasil, Türkçe – auto-generated translation. Community translations for these languages are welcome.
Compatible with existing save games and most graphical overhaul mods.
Enjoy the mod, and let the rising sun rule the waves!
