I-400, Japanese Sub/carrier

[GeneralMatt]

Here is that sub that asioasioasio requested. I am 'hoping' it is satisfactory, but I can do a better skin if needed. I used the red/white colour scheme.

Uses the subs animations, and is the same size of model so you may want to make the scale a little bigger than the subs (Here it is the same as I didn't want to mess around too much. )

Tell me asioasioasio if it is satisfactory.. In the final product there is a little plane there, but in the render, at the time I didn't have it in.

Edit: Uploaded a lower poly plane one.. Looks just as good imho.

I think that you did a wonderful work. Any more information about this ship?

 

[GeneralMatt]

Umm, hmm, I can look for some info, I have to go atm..
I will be back soon.

Thanks for saying it looks nice, I think I am just too much of a perfectionist (Like my mom).

 

[woodelf]

[GeneralMatt]

I think this is probably your best to date. Nice work!

 

[asioasioasio]

very very very nice indeed
There's small plane on the deck good work. For sure it'll spice up wars on pacific wich will come in phase two of mod

If you would like to model something for ww2 mod in the future i would be very happy

Glad you like it!
I may take you up on that offer (About modeling for your mod). At least it would keep me with ideas and stuff!

 

[snafusmith]

You're getting better each time GeneralMatt. Keep it up!

Any chance of adding an escort carrier to your list of potentials?

There's already a WWII-type carrier in the database, ready for you to download.
Granted it is Japanese by origin, but carriers of that day didn't look that different from one another.

 

[ww2commander]

I already have downloaded that carrier but it just does not look right as an Allied Carrier. I figure if GeneralMatt wants some variety he could add some wwii carriers to his resume.

Overall its like using an F-14 to represent a Mig-29....if you squint hard enough they both look similar in design

 

[GeoModder]

So, in short, you want a better texture file attached to the model?
O yes, and comparing the Mig29 with the F14 is like comparing the Nimitz with the original Enterprise.

 

[GeneralMatt]

can't wait try ur best!

Will do! Already got the model done, but had to go to bed last night ya know.

If you still do not think that the one in the database is sufficient, I wouldn't mind.

 

[ww2commander]

I am a bit selfish in that the one in the picture is the exact ship that was used in the arctic convoys, so I would be over the moon if you did that one.

Thanks for considering it GeneralMatt

GeoModder - Not saying that there is any thing wrong with the existing carrier as it is an awesome unit. It just gets a bit annoying after a while when you have to keep substituting units for everything.

The lack of ww2 infantry variety is a good case in point. Apart from the German infantryman, every other infantry in my mod uses the same infantryman that came with vanilla civ but just reskinned in a different colour....bit depressing when you think about it....heck there is more variety in ancient units then I have ever seen in other versions of civ put together, but the modern era foot units are lacking right now

 

[GeneralMatt]

Then I will put it on my list.
One thing, could someone direct me to the one there already? I cannot seem to find it.. :?
