Post by: bloom25 on November 15, 2000, 07:36:00 PM: I don't believe those guns were meant to be used on the Essex class, except as a last ditch type thing. They damaged the flight deck when they were fired. (I may be wrong though. (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif) )

Post by: Sundog on November 15, 2000, 08:30:00 PM: Will the carrier have kill markings on the port side showing how many pilots auger into the stern per tour? (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Seriously, do you guys know if the Essex had catapults? It would be very cool if HTC modeled those (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)

It definitely looks awesome so far. Oh, it's gonna be a long two weeks.

Post by: Pyro on November 15, 2000, 08:35:00 PM: On my work machine, the cv looks like a silhouette. On Superfly's machine or on my home machine it doesn't. At any rate, we've still got some detailing to do, mainly with the different gun positions. The cruiser is also at the same state and we're starting on the LVT.

Post by: flakbait on November 15, 2000, 11:29:00 PM: Bloom, I hate to burst yer bubble [yeah, right] but the Essex Class [short and long hull] had dedicated 5" guns until they got modernized after the war. Info is here:

Essex Class (http://www.warships1.com/UScv09_Essex.htm) carried between 10-12 5" guns, 4 in twin turrets, 8 in single mounts. The Long Hull carried 12 up to CV-31, when only 10 were mounted. I doubt we're going to see 80 40mm Bofors cannons along with 60 20mm cannons. You couldn't be able to attack it without getting hit!

[edit]If that thing has more polygons than a Ju-88 my FR is gonna go to crap. No carrier landings for me; heck this old piece of junk had siezures when the WBs fleets would come into vis range. Little pauses here and there as each ship was being drawn. Real pain. Oh, and if any of you start griping, send me $1,800 to update this Rustbucket! :P

Post by: Regurge on November 16, 2000, 12:03:00 AM: I dunno about damaging the flight deck but check this out. From The Fighting Lady by Clark G. Reynolds, describing a betty attacking the Yorktown

In the words of gunner Ed Wallace, batteries "6 and 8-my new battle station, opened fire with the 5 inch and I saw an enemy plane go down in flames and we kept firing as did most of the ships in the task force. The concussion wrecked two planes on the flight deck and at times spectators on the flight deck interfered with the firing."

Post by: Zigrat on November 16, 2000, 01:19:00 AM: sorry delta, but i think its time for the minimum standard of AH to be a p3-300 at minimum to maintain 30 FPS under normal circumstances.

no im not gonna send u money but computers really are cheap now. a p3-800 MHZ cpu now costs 220 dollars. a 566 MHZ celeron costs 65 dollars. Time to move on.

So this is what the big hype is all about. Here we need vehicle suppy convoys and roads, and this is what we get. Oh please, can we have more Navy planes!!!

Looking for logical additions in 1.06!! (http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/Smileys/default/smile.gif)
