Excellent! I was about to mention that as well. It looks great! The Corsair is my favorite WWII fighter and was disappointed it didn't come in PTW. :goodjob:

The animations are in I never even thought about the attack because when I tested it in game it looked good. of coures that was just a test and after some color work I just plum forgot. o well its in there now.

The Corsair the P38 Lightning the Mosquito and the Typhoon are my favorites. Listed in order of love.

The P-40 Curtiss and P51 Mustang are cool to.

The Wildcat was the standard USN fighter at the beginning of WW2. The Corsair was introduced in 1942/1943, it was generally a better fighter though it had some handling problems early on that limited it's use on carriers. It saw service with the Marines until the problems were fixed, then with the Navy as well.

Very Nice Unit.

A little disconcerting seeing it with that red meatball though. Like a Japanese Corsair.

Very true I had not thought of it that way.

However since it also saw service with the English I was going for something generic.

oops.

Mind if I use the Corsair in my WW2 mod Hunter dude?

Sure I made it for my personal WW 2 game so I cant think of a better use than your WW2 mod. When dose it come out?

Kentonio · Jan 30, 2003

Hopefully not too much longer, although the new interface is taking forever and the 24 new leaderheads may take a little while. Most of the new units are done though.

Kentonio

Hunter · Jan 30, 2003

What new units are there and would you like the cromwell tank I am making?

You wanting it would give me motivation to finaly get off my butt and finish it. :hammer:

Lynx-Eyed · Jan 30, 2003

More WW2 fighters, that's cool!!! Just don't stop with making good units and you are becoming my best friend

I like it, thanks!

Kentonio · Jan 30, 2003

Yeah dude, Cromwell would be VERY sweet. Cant list all the new units im afraid as the list runs into the dozens. Mostly tanks and planes so far, we've still got to get the ships done. *shiver*
