Feeding my addiction.
Well I was planing to finish this by friday but company is coming tomorow and staying for a while. Besides sleep is a....ZZZZZ hu wha. O ya as I was saying I give you the "Lancaster Bomber".
The power house bomber of the commonwealth in WW2. My game was not complete whith out it and I hope you enjoy it. It isnt my best unit but I like it.

I sugest using it as a flavor unit for any commonwealth nations you use in your game.

O alittle bit of info on this real life beauty is that only 2 are still flying today.

and historicaly:
Of the total of 7377 Lancasters built, 3932 were lost in action. During the war Lancasters flew a total of 156 000 sorties and dropped 608,612 tons of bombs. 55,000 aircrew, including 10,000 Canadians, were killed serving in Bomber Command. During much of the war 5% of the bombers which set out each night failed to return making service in bombers the most dangerous field in the allied military.

Thanks guys Im glad you like it. :)

Next on the plate is a unit I was asked to do some time ago (its a secret ;) ) and then Zulu had asked and I want to do the Matilda tank. After that who knows, maby the sherman (never realy liked the Civ 3 Tank) or some more air craft. :hammer:
 
Thanks guys im glad people like this one as well. I am starting to think I am enjoying creating units more than the game its self. I have been spending more time at it then playing anyway. :)

Well my good man how would you like it changed? Is it just a mater of colors or is more of a physical change. I have alitte more time on my hands this weekend than expected so maybe I can alter it.
 
You rock Hunter!

Just the sort of unit any prospective WW2 creator desires :)


I will give my crits once I've added it :)
 
Could you show me some more shots? (once youve done the camo)

I dont know really, maybe its the model quality...Sorry :(
 
Its the previews, some poeple dont have good picture converters please try the unit in game b4 your post negative feedback thanks....
 
I would, but I dont like messing around all the unit files...its annoying. A screenshot in game (print screen) is all it takes
