The model looks really nice.  A lot higher polygon count and very nicely done on the textures.

SUPERFLY, I certainly cannot do a skin, but I was curious how the textures work for the B-24?  How many 1024x1024 textures does it use?

Does it carry much more bombs than B-17?

It will probably carry 8,000lbs to the B-17G's 6,000lbs.

I don't think so.  4,000lb, 8,000lb and 12,000lb bombs were more of a British thing.

It will probably have a loadout with 2,000lb bombs though.  At least I'd think it would.

So why would anybody use the B17 now?  This thing carries more bombs, has better defensive firepower, especially from 6oc and 12oc high.

So whats the B17 for?

Did the "J" have 10 .50-cal. MG's, like the "H" did?

If so, are we going to have them all?

Great work Superfly! Superb job!!!

And yes Karnak, I am VERY excited to get this one in the air.

T-Bolt, the 24J and H were very similar, so yes the J did carry 10 .50s.  There wasnt much difference at all between the two.

I've even already got a skin planned out for this one. :)
