Upd. 28-09-2006: fixed - wrong gunfire effects direction.

This my second fully animated BB IJN Yamato (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_battleship_Yamato)(so-called Super Battleship), this time representing late Yamato(year 1943) with 2*(3*155mm) secondary turrets and many AA guns and machineguns.
Poly count is relative very high - 1178.
Use the fscale=0.8, and point to the Yamato2.kfm file in your XML.
Can be used with my early Yamato (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=186756) without restrictions. Icon included.

Ooh! Nice looking boat you got there. :D You mention Custom Animations in your sig. What do you mean?

Well... (where is my dictionary???)
Most units here uses original CivIV units animations. It's easy. But, this animations have many restrictions. As example - you can't make 4-turrets battleship, you can't move turrets to another positions, you can't make twin engine fighter(with fighter.kfm).
Firstly i planned to use original battleship.kfm animation, but... "Oh, no! Turrets are in air" :)
So, i just make full animation for entire unit(both ragefinders, turrets(6 on early and 5 on late versions) and main hull).

Hurray for the super-battleship Yamato! Great job! Now I've got another unit to stick your seaplanes on. :)
