2nd'ed.......Very nice, though the one thing I would suggest for the future is removing that "88" on the side, not all ships were that number y'know
Generalmatt's 3 Battleships reskined

- Start date

Until you have five of them all numbered "88", then you run-across the AI who also has all of their ships numbered "88"... and then you do research on the matter and find that none of these ships were numbered "88", and in-fact, none of these nations even put numbers like that in those spots on their battleships.
Don't get me wrong... great reskinning work by Danrell... but the "88" thing is a bit much... IMO.

Exactly why I have also preferred that there be no names on the sides of tanks and airplanes, though some units have them (even ones Firaxis made). It adds flavor when you are designing it perhaps, but with 200 of the same kind, somehow that doesn't mean much in an actual game...

You know, I recognize the model on that one, but the skin is way to good. WOW!

It definitely adds a lot of flavour from a designer's point.
Indeed, I just don't actually remember seeing numbers on any ships at all, save corvettes, of which I have done.. And I have seen quite a few b&w images..

Hey, Chuggi, where's this model? I mean, is it really in your very-soon-to-come CD update?

I made the Leopard 2A5 a while back and revised it again in Modern Warfare. You can find the German skinned version there - I'm guessing Chugginator has the skin for that version coming up.
I modified it for a Greek Modern Armour
(it said somewhere on the internet that Greece used Leopard 2A5's). It only looks so good because I resized the texture up to 512x512, and it's still mostly your texture anyway. 
I changed the model a little to make it look like the photo I was basing it off - the tread's more exposed, and I added some mirrors and lights. I also fixed that smoke issue that is on some of the older units out there.
Let me know if you want me to PM you the files.

Chuggi, you know how to correct the smoke issue on older models??? Care to share the info? It's freakin' annoying....
I use 3ds Max to fix it, you probably don't have that. I'll fix most of them eventually, if no one else does. It's not too hard I guess, just time consuming and you need the right programs.
There is another quick fix for the smoke you can do if you use Scene Viewer or Nif Skope - but it completely removes the smoke(even if it is damaged), and the animations are still funny at times.

Interesting info, Wolfie. So you are attempting to leech an image from: FireBlades.org. Thanks!

Yeah, and I noted his tendency to leech unit graphics from other people as well.

And not give them credit...
New nickname? Leechshanze doesn't have a good ring to it, so just leechy will have to do.

I thought he just dyed his fur white.
We should probably stop with the off-topic now before GM gets angry. Sorry GM.

But it's supposed to be about your battleship models!
