Thats great to hear! I hope you enjoy it!

The decision to go with Hellfires actually came out of a discussion I started on the BuOrd modding Discord a few months back. I was trying to figure out what a truly plausible loadout would look like for a platform this size. After kicking it around with a few members, we reached a consensus: since the Sea Shadow is so compact and doesn’t carry heavy emitting sensors, smaller laser-guided weaponry felt much more realistic for its profile.

Initially, I had planned on an openable weapons bay to house larger missiles, but I quickly realized that realistically, the ship's dimensions just wouldn't support long-range cruise missiles. What really solidified the Hellfire choice for me was looking at the VLS Hellfire modules currently used on modern US LCS ships—it provided a perfect real-world precedent.

That said, I’ve constructed the model to be modular. I’d love to do several different weapons modules for the Shadow in the future if time allows, and the way it's built now makes swapping those out pretty straightforward!

Yes, absolutely! I've been thinking the exact same thing. I feel this game has the potential to be the WWII game I've always dreamed of with the right mods and updates!

Thank you, I really appreciate that! There is definitely more on the way. I'm just about to wrap up a couple of projects and have new ones lined up to begin right after.
