Thanks DK... ever going to get back into making planes again... I have one I'd like to see (hint-hint).

I've even been loyal to you and haven't requested it from some other mass-producing plane-maker!

 

[dutchking]

Yes, I know. I haven't made much at all lately.

I'll make it the next one I release.

 

[Laurencius]

Thank you! I finally have my chubby polikarpov in game.

 

[dutchking]

My pleasure, if you don't mind my asking, what are you going to use it for?

 

[Wolfshanze]

I'm using it for the Mongolian fighter in my mod.

You sure? I'm getting a file not found.

 

[dutchking]

The hell?

Goddamn...

 

[dutchking]

Try it with any file, I think we've been hacked again.

(thus, the 2 hours CFC was down?)

Screw this, I'm uploading all my units on a separate site in one zip, I'm not reuploading 20 units again.

I gave it to the Aztecs as a fighter on my home just-for-personal-use mod. It would look cool for the Mongols also, as Wolf pointed out.

 

[Wolfshanze]

It would also be accurate for the Mongols, since during WWII, the Mongols were totally dependant on Soviet euipment... and usually got old-stuff anyways.

 

[dutchking]

The Mongols used their military during WWII? (they had a modern military? )

*rhetorical question*

*non-rhetorical response*

Mongolia was mostly a vassal state of the Soviet Union in the late 1930s, and a massive reshaping of society was enforced, among others most of the country's Buddhist monasteries closed. Hoping to exploit popular dissatisfaction with the Soviet regime, Japanese forces stationed in Manchuria invaded Eastern Mongolia in May 1939. Soviet and Mongolian forces, commanded by General GEORGI ZHUKOV, were able to inflict heavy losses on the Japanese Fighting ceased on September 16th 1939, when a truce was signed.

Check a little battle known as "Nomonhan"... the Russians and Mongolions fought together against the Japanese.

In any case, for Civ-terms, any WWII Mongolian equipment should be Soviet-based... mostly BT tanks and I-16 fighter types.

UPDATED 8/15:
Removed ~300 vertices and added Gloss Maps.

First post updated w/details and more screenshots.

 

[Wolfshanze]

Thanks for the update! I'll surely use it!

Hm, the first version had a pilot, this one does not. Is he the 300 vertices ?

I'd wish this one would have a pilot too.

 

[dutchking]

Well, I basically went around and merged all the doubles, the pilot just happened to be about 100 vertices.

If it really means that much to you I'll put him back in.

 

[Wolfshanze]

A pilot would be nice... but I must mention one thing...

You changed the unit scale between versions... aaaargh! (boy I hate trying to figure out matching unit scales on planes and ships).

It's done now... that's always a pain though!

Still, it's worth it for the nice new look.

 

[dutchking]

Well actually I didn't change the scaling at all.

I had to transfer it to an entirely new NIF to get the gloss on, well happy you worked it out anyway.

 

[Xenomorph]

A pilot would be nice... but I must mention one thing...

Yes, it would.
I went ahead and made a few shader changes and reduced the size of the gloss map.
