[WIP] Modern ships (career playable)

[iowa101]

have you thought about how your doing the weapons on your carrier, you said earlier that you where having anti-ship missiles, is the that the main weapon.

and if so are you having anti-aircraft guns like the modern type in stead of having a carrier from our generation and having ww2 guns lol.

also this is a nice little info you might want to look at.

if you scroll down it gives the weapon layouts of a few dozen carriers including your choice of carrier.

and missile supplies and different planes and stuff.
so enjoy

would it be possible to send me the other models i want to check them out too, the kitty and admiral are very well done by the way, dont take to long getting the carrier into game. i cant wait to see the finished product.

also how the hell do you use mm3d it's wierd, the camera is annoying and trying to find a template to model from is hard lol

[iowa101]

A little hint. Don`t remove, make individual 3d models of parts not needed and add them in S3D. Parts such as elevators, propellers, rudders, planes and the island.

And remember always keep a backup of the original 3d model, just in case you screw up big time. Has happened to me a couple of times.

I have an off-topic question. What ship would be best to use as a base for the Alaska class, the Iowa, North Carolina, Baltimore or Cleveland?

Here`s a pictue of her:

[iowa101]

i would say iowa because of her three main gun setup, but the ship looks more of a battle cruiser type so most likely any of that type mate

She`s not really a battlecruiser, she`s a large cruiser. Here`s the thing I like about the induvidual ships: The Iowa has the right type of bow. The Cleveland and Baltimore has the right type of stern while the North Carolina has a forward superstructure wich has some resemblence to the Alaska. What do you think?

[iowa101]

yeah, it does look like a mixture doesnt it. i would do with which ever fits best then, if you need anything else for her let me know, right now im trying to de poly my model of nimitz lol

Here`s a pictue of her:

My opinion as a starting point would be the NC. Remove the center funnel. There are two aircraft "launchers" at the stern that you could move to the center. I think that might give you a good start. I am not familiar with the Alaska, so I don't know how much of a size difference you need to deal with. It wouldn't take much reshaping to get the bow right.
Just my 2 cents.

As a matter of fact I found a solution to my proble. The answer did not lie in the Iowa, North Carolina, Baltimore or the Clevleland but in the Brooklyn. Just removed the bow replaced it with an identical copy, then made the bow longer. Now I have a bow wich more resembles the bow on the Bismarck. I`ll post pictures tomorrow.

If you have big problems with getting S3D to accept the Nimitz then you could send her to me, maybe I can help. My Ticonderoga class has between 200-300 000 vertices. I had to split her up in several pieces. Any information on how many vertices the Nimitz has?
