Battle of Britain WWII Air War Scenario

Or my artwork...

Nice chatbox, this is!

 

[Ambreville]

Here another type of aircraft I'll want to add -- the Heinkel 219.

...Dutchking, The Coyote, anyone else?

 

[Agent327]

Now that's way

 

[dutchking]

Could base it off the B-25...

 

[Gaius Octavius]

Yes, but for that you'd need to re-upload the B-25 first.

(Actually not, but who cares?)

 

[Ambreville]

Damn... Who shot down the B25!??

 

[Ambreville]

Could base it off the B-25...

Except I plan to use it as a fighter. The animation will be a bit strange. Oh well.

 

[Ambreville]

And of course, since I'm going this far, we should also think of adding the He-219's nemesis -- the Mosquito! Used as a night fighter, it was pretty effective and a true problem for He-219s.

Mosquitos in the night. Kinda makes sense, doesn't it?

 

[dutchking]

Well I could put fighter animations on the B-25...

 

[Ambreville]

What I found out about this is that you need bomber animations for multiple engine models, and fighter animation for single engine units. True?

 

[dutchking]

Not entirely...

 

[Ambreville]

OK. You know better than me!

Yeah, the German march was pretty cool.

I believe the piece of music you are looking for is called Aces High March written by Ron Goodwin. (It beats Darth Vaders Imperial March every time IMHO) It's available on the Battle of Britain movie soundtrack CD.

DK -- one thing I noticed with the animation of bombers is that their bombs drop often one or two squares away from their target. Any ideas why this might be happening?

 

[dutchking]

I never really cared where they dropped the bombs...

I don't know.

 

[Ambreville]

I wonder if it has anything to do with this entry:

short report, me 110 done (two version: destroyer and night fighter)

@ dutchking

you make the "Uhu", good , i need a rest from two engine fighters. perhaps you can use the mosquito animation (changed avenger ani, with both probs working)

Ciao

 

[Ambreville]

Cool! Thanks a bunch! Is there a link?

-----------

Edit

Never mind. Found It!

 

[dutchking]

Well anyway,
For a two engine fighter all you need to do is copy the existing propeller and move the two to be positioned right. (assuming you want fighter animations for a bomber like model)
