re-vamp 3D models for ships

[iron650]

Just to put it out there... they said that there were batteries with 4x 8 inch guns called "Chicago Pianos" and had some .50s to shoot at planes that are even closer to the carriers without going down.

Raise the elevator.

The elevator was never raised... maybe we could try lobbing bombs under the deck. How about we put the number of the CV on the side where they put the number of the CV group? (sorry about the wording) Like, C187 would have the CV have a 187 painted instead of the 15.

"Chicago Pianos" were quad 1" AAA which were prone to jamming and replaced by 40mm's.

.50's were only on prewar Destroyers, as were the above quad 1"s, and also quickly replaced due to being ineffective with 20mm's.

I can only think of French or British BB's, one or two maybe, with Quad mounted turret guns.

Could someone post picture(s) of the Ships BEFORE they were updated?

Essex class carriers had catapults. And they mounted 50 cals on the superstructure. And could steam backwards to land aircraft from the front. http://microworks.net/pacific/ships/carriers/essex.htm
