new AK off the slips (Antares)

cant anyone tell me if Argonne is in game cant spot it if not what class is it



Image

Argonne was an ex-sub tender. Served as Ghormley/Halsey flagship in South Pacific in 1942 without once leaving port. Listed as an AG. General auxilliary I think. Not in game.

If I may make a suggestion, I'd hold all your 3D art until you get the whole thing done, because it might put some people off having some ships 3D and some not. Just what I would do, but its your call. Looks great though.

this project will take weeks and I'am after comment and sugestions as I go. its a lot of work and to have to re-work all out put if I wait till all finished would double the effort its up to the players to try - leave in game if they like them or try them and take out and put in a waiting pool of ships to use after all completed.

thanks for input

Just trying to offer suggestions.... doing a lot of graphics is a pain in the ***. Its rewarding, but can also lead to high blood rpessure [:D]

Maybe it's just me but I've always liked the 2D "profile" approach for games like this. Seems less toy like. Nice effort though.[8D]

You aren't alone Ron. All my graphics will still be in 2D, simply because they seem (to me) more appropriate to this genre, and you can squeeze in more details. But, different people different tastes, no?

I love these grafs, but Akagi has a portside island, Kaga's is to starboard; your Junyo is steaming in reverse.....
