Graf Zeppelin German WWII Carrier

[Gaius Octavius]

We? WE? It seems I have been doing most of the work around here.. (Well, I don't mean Smitty or Asio, but I have not seen any Gaius Octavius's doing anything.

We keep a low profile.

Gaius, I meant Unit wise.

definetly great unit - another flavour unit for Germany in 1939
And i like texture very much

Thanks, coming from you, I know it means something.

Just need to reitterate Matt... GREAT JOB... love the unit... already in my mod!


Gotta love that Graf Zeppelin!


More pics of the ship in 3D

Yeah, I joined up on that site, thanks for the link. ):

Excellent unit, Matt!!!

PS: I never even notice the similarity between the Arizona and the Dreadnought until Wolfshanze posted these nice pictures! Thanks!

I don't think that is what he was trying to make happen..

Again, thanks all for the kind words..

Well if you had a model of the HMS Dreadnought that you built sitting on your wall right next to it, I don't think you'd be going around telling everyone the Arizona looks "fairly similar" to the HMS Dreadnought...

Let's see here...

Armament/Guns:

USS Arizona...
4 centerline triple-mount turrets... superfiring

HMS Dreadnought...
4 centerline dual-mount turrets (non-superfiring) and 2 dual-mount wing turrets

(that's four tripple turrets in a straight line as opposed to six dual turrets center and wing)

Silhouette/Shape:

USS Arizona...
Single smokestack, two large gun control towers

HMS Dreadnought...
Dual smokestacks, one largegun control tower


Meh... they look just alike!

It would take a lot of work (kinda like completely redoing the entire model from scratch) to get the Dreadnought to look like the Arizona.

Look at the unit. I'd say if there were any other unit that looked remotely like the Arizona, it would be that one. You only need to tweak the thing. Don't insult my intelligence, please.

Using textures is one thing... calling it the Arizona is another... this isn't the first time you called the HMS Dreadnought the Arizona... you did it in the original thread too.

All I've been trying to do is point out the HMS Dreadnought is not the Arizona and it's not a close match for it either... though I suppose a wooden deck is a wooden deck if someone wants to reuse a texture, but I wasn't the one saying the HMS Dreadnought was the Arizona more then once.
