This is the Russian made Tu-16 Badger bomber. It is carrying two AS-6 Kingfish ASM/AGM missiles. I used bump mapping to outline the panel joints in the aircraft. This is my first time using bump-mapping, and it seems like a great tool.

China still uses them as the H-6 as maritime strike and as tanker aircraft. If any are still flying with the Russians then they are most likely being used as tankers.
 
Nice looking unit VingrJoe. Amazing too that the detailing you achieved in your past units without bump-mapping.
I like the bombing run. WRT the attackA animation. I think maybe it should be flipped 180. Since as it is now, it is flying towards the foe, firing away from it (to the rear). While if it were flipped... it might seem to be trying to get away (as a good bomber should)
 
Finally, someone who is actually competant in their use of 3dsmax and their understanding of civ3 animation.

The only thing I find a bit bothering here is, that the shadow of this plane is much bigger than the plane itself :lol: .

Well, this is only my third aircraft unit, and I just figured out how to keep the ground plane illuminated while casting a shadow for the aircraft without having falloff in the ground plane's color illumination. Anyway, I'll be more aware of the shadow size of any more aircraft I do.
 
Great unit, thank you for making it.
 
Shiny... Nice plane, but the bombs are a bit big, isn't it?
 
no, the bombs are not really too big. some Tu-16 varients (especially those used by China, the H-6) use/used some very large wing-mounted cruise missiles and anti-ship missiles. In fact, the "free-fall bombs carried internally" version only served very briefly with the Soviet Union, as they quickly became missile platforms and ECM patrols.

The only thing with this model which is anything left than perfect, imho, is the nose section .. a tiny bit off what the plane normally looks like, but only enough to bug a Soviet aircraft buff such as myself ;-)

.. now if we could get an M-4 Bison, life would be good ;-)
(Think a larger tu-16 with 2 engines on each side instead of one)
 
weasel, modern Russia has a few Tu-160s (less than 20 of them), still has some Tu-22M bombers around (the "backfire"). They also have some Tu-20s (aka tu-95 "bear") around, though all are either ECM, Recon, or cruise-missile-launchers.
