SUPERFLY,
How's that bomber coming along? I bet it looks great, whatever it is.
Then again it might be French and I don't think even you could make that look good.

that is an ugly plane. :eek:
-
Not as ugly as this:

Definately French.
Or Italian, they made some spectacularly ugly bombers.
-
G4M2? :D

It is coming along fine. I have just started working on the texture map for it. Still a ways to go before it is screen shot material.

Cool! bet its a B-29.
The other american bombers (B17, B26, TBM, SBD, A-20 and Boston) are feeling lonely.
can we have a clue mr.superfly please? :D

How about a wire frame and let us color it in and we can quit bugging you ;)
Lots of good candidates for a new buff out there for sure. :aok

Guys,
Give Superfly a break. It takes a long time to get the [size=15]B-29[/size] ready! ;)

It is a so large bomber, isn't it?
B-29 coming... :)

need i say more? :D
-
Yes skull.
I strongly believe that it is a B-24 given the clues of a Boulton Paul turret by Pyro (or at least I think it was Pyro that made the post)
-
from the hint pyro leaked a few weeks back I'm betting it's a B-24.
-
Thanks for the update SUPERFLY.

Heh bet if its the 29 its heavily perked
I'd rather see the vader or some other bomber from some other country
-
damn it just what we need. another american Heavy bomber.:(
-
Pretty sure B-24 was tops in production for US WW2 aircraft,
and a must for any flight sim/game.
(was in a B24 squad in WB3) ;)
Though a Dornier, Pe2 or Betty would be fine by me,
the B24 will need to be included at some point
-
I understand why it is taking so long. The A26 Invader requires special artwork and flight modelling. You have to get the flaps juuuuuuuuuust right, otherwise, it won't be very good in a low E turnfight.
I can wait. :aok
-
I forgot B-24 is also large bomber.
If coming new bomber is B-24, we can see B-24/P-38L group vs Ki-84 battle. :)

Im definately going to start a B-24 squad if it is added to the game.
But: back to topic.
A screenshot of the unskinned aircraft would be appreciated if possible, but I can wait for the near-finished product. :)
Also Mitsu, it would allow for some great scenarios to be created including what you said with the P-38/B-24 vs Ki84.
-
I hope Ki-43 and early Ki-61 model for more great Pacific scenarios... :aok

The Vader would be awesome. But, we already have the Havoc. So, I don't think the Vader would be added at this point.
I always figured that HTC avoided modelling the Vader early on so that they could offer the Air Warrior crowd something new. :confused: Just a guess, though.
Okay, okay...yea, it could be the B-24. :cool:

Nope! Brit! Hanley Page Heyford!
I just with the 1/72 Matchbox model kit for it wasn't so damn hard to find :P
Also... B24 is the LAST plane that the planeset needs. Think about it, the performance is ONLY the same as the B-17. The defences are the same. The bomb load is only about 2k more. It's a WASTE to add the B24 when the b17 fills in nicely and when there are so many holes in LW bombers, IJN bombers, and RAF bombers... (forget Italian bombers, the Italians had crappy planes and weren't as active as the LW in most areas :P)
-
SUPERFLY! Did you already work for Ki-61 Hi-Rez skin?
-
I don't normally fly BUFFS, but I'd ride the B-25 Mitchell if it's added.

Would rather have a Tu-2 or Pe-2.
(or wishful thinking: a Halifax III in 'Friday the 13th' markings, or DeHavilland Mosquito B.35)
-
i would just be happy that some new planes are comming, whatever it is :)

That was a tongue in cheek comment regarding the Defiant.
-
well poo....

LOL Pyro, I missed that B-24 thread. I'm still hoping for the Amiot 143M for when you guys model leaflet raids.
Scenario: A Bish Amiot 143m putters over Knight airfield. All in tower get the following popup: "Your cause is lost Knights. While you take part in your brave but hopless vulches and gangbangs, getting sent to the tower with horrible regularity, the Rooks are romancing your sheep in occupied territority. Defect to Bishop and right the wrong. You will not be harmed if you show this pass in the maproom."

Hey Superfly,
I'd be really interested in seeing you guys post a wireframed, unskinned model someday, just so people could get an idea of how much work goes into the model itself. Almost everyone is familiar with skins now. :)
ps. Maybe don't spoil the surprise with the one you're working on now, but an older model would be great to see. :)

No..no...nooooo...by all means, please spoil the surprise... :D
Dux has a point. It would be nice to see the basic model beneath the finished product.
-
what, is the one i posted not good enough?!
:(

wow check this out!!!!

I'd also love to see a B-25... Only I'm torn... the -J would be nice for the glass nose and level bombing, but the solid nose 8-guns (with 4 more on the sides) would REALLY bring this thing into the fore-front for town leveling, I would think.
The only problem is you can't make that a weapons selection option, you have to model 2 entirely different planes (which we will only get 1 of at any given time)

It's not hopeless. We got the Boston Mk III and the A-20G in the same release.

I am with you on this.... :cool:
Douglas Invader would be ideal for us UBER ALLIES to have. :aok

"Nook"
:rofl
Great work furball, but I'm curious. What application did you use to render the *ahem* wireframe? :D
FWIW, Charon's troll on the Defiant (and Pyro's follow up comments) remain one of the best executed I've ever seen. I personally wet my flightsuit 3 times (a new record, i might add).
Cheers,
-
I am hoping for a patch before the weekend so we can play with our first new toys in quite a while. I think that would improve the overall mood somewhat.

But we already know we got the Ki, so we only get 1 more plane (2 planes, 1 vehicle), so it can't be both :)

Not this time, but we knew that before the Ki-84 was shown. Pyro said "A fighter, a bomber and a tank".
But is it is not the B-25 this time, then when the B-25 is added they may release two at the same time.

need i say more? :D
Hope it's the HE111 or some bomber from a country other than the USA, already have the B17s, B26s. Not that I mind a US bomber, just that the other countries are lacking in this area.
-
if its the b-24 I am going to fly nothing else. :)
I love that plane.
if its the pb4y2 I am going to fall out of my chair :D
hope its not some lame axis or russian 2000 lb bombload no decent defensive guns gadget lamebuffwagon.
we need heavily defended heavy bomb load fast high alt mean machine.
-
yep u just said every thing hehe that matches up with the b-29 fast big bomb load hi alt flyer Man your good ;)

Agreed, but Id much rather have a B-24J than a PB4Y. But, as of now, anything new sounds good. :D
