Vingrjoe's Revised Ships Thread

outstanding job, as usual

By the way, I have old Wyrmshadow Burke and OH Perry units, found on CDG .
Unfortunately they are not the same quality of later Wyrm's jobs and now he seems too busy with SOE 5 to redo these. Do you plan to release improved versions of these units ? I think that wonderful US Navy BBs and CGs could not be really useful in modern scenarios without their complement of DD/DDG (you already made a wonderful CF Adams) and FFG.

Whatever your reply, thanks for your work !
 
Wolf 66, thank you, also thank you to all the others that have given compliments on my units. I'm glad you and others enjoy my work. I would like to do a Knox class frigate as well as a Perry class. I cannot give you a firm yes or no, just a maybe for now.

Badkharma, actually the default destroyer is very close to a Spruance class destroyer, while the Aegis "cruiser" in Civ3 is an offshoot of a chopped up Arleigh Burke destroyer. Either way, I find Civ3's and CivIV's stock warships somewhat appalling.

With graphics like this available, does anyone still use the standard Firaxis ones? That would be like trading your Porsche for a 1987 Volkswagen Jetta :crazyeye:
hehehe! Too true.

Simply brilliant ships Vineger Joe.
 
Okay, I believe I have possibly the final versions of the Modern and WWII Iowa class battleship. I finally achieved the desired effect for the pressure wake on the water, from the gunblasts. I was able to use the civ smoke colors to get it how I thought it should look. I also did some more minor tweaks. I feel these two units may have finally reached their zenith. Now, what I have been learning and putting to use in perfecting my two favorite units should greatly benefit my other units as I redo them and any new units I put out as well. You will find the links to the new files in post two and three of this thread. I hope anyone who enjoys my units will benefit from my insanity. :crazyeye:
 
Heh. Redoing the Iowas again? What version would they be? 976.47925 and 1/2? Heh. :D Its awesome. I can't wait.

Call me crazy, but I remember either you or Wyrm fooling around with a moidernized South Dakota.... did that ever get made?
 
I think Wyrmshadow posted a profile picture of one a while back, but to my knowledge, a modernized South Dakota hasn't been made by him nor I.
 
Hmmmm. Thanks for the answer. In twisted Goldflash Land, I could use the Iowa and Modern Iowa for american flavor units and the SD and Modern SD for generics. OOh, and I do remember the modern Yamoto you made for me.. but that, of course, is reserved for Japan. But Twisted Goldflash land is far off the interstate from reality.
 
Yeah that was a LONG time ago and I haven't gotten around to anything modern. Need any modern models to play with like the Kiev or OHP?
 
I have the OHP, thanks again for that model Wyrmshadow. Although, I do not have the Kiev.
