Lol could it work?
 
Would it be possible to model such a large ship that it takes up half the atlantic ocean? that would be incredibly cool. also what about continent sized planes, or country sized u-boats? is there a limitation of ship size?

And maybe a mod where Admiral Dönitz screams 'Tis' a trap!':rotfl2:When Darth Churchill and his fleet of Tommie Troopers arrive in the Ostsee!
And a Single Player Mission Where Hans Olo and Bernard dive to the core of the Death Hood to torpedo it!

Um, I'm not sure how to break this to you, but YOU are the one working for the evil Empire. I mean, we're the ones with the storm troopers, right? :D

I actually have thought about making a submarine in the shape of an Imperial Star Destroyer before... Imagine having that as your U-Boat! :haha:

Jankowski 09-27-10 06:24 PM

yeah, something like that.

I was wondering about the game limitations

Schwieger 09-27-10 06:29 PM

lol... Imagine the look on the sonarmans face when this appears on the sonar:

:har::haha::har::haha:

I guess port raiding would be out of the question... unless you wanted to ground yourself.

I can see where a fleet of country-sized uboats would make blockading Britain a much simpler job... but how in the world would you ever get them out of your harbor to sail them there? :O:

I wonder how the hull holds up on re-entry?

Forget re-entry, how would you get that into space in the first place? It is not very common to blast around 80,000 tons into orbit.:haha::haha:

I really hate to point out a fatal flaw in most of these space ships, but why are there almost no guns on the bottom when there is no up and down in space? Not the Spacebattleship Yamato though... that has guns on the underside I think...

The X^ series games (like X3TC/X3TR) actually address all the common sense problems like that (helps that many of the game developers actually play the game regularly and are the biggest mod contributors) having guns in up to 6 locations (front turrets, port/starboard turrets, aft, top and bottom turrets/fixed guns) that can give some ships a full 360 sphere of fire. Also having all the shipyards/factories that are already in space so you don't have to worry about that pesky gravity stuff helps :DL

Well, let's not leave out the luftwaffe...
