Good work boys.

Gary, the DD art is for 1936 Class Zerstorers ?

Correction:

Captain for CL Duca Degli Abruzzi was c.v. Pietro Parenti

c.v. Franco Zannoni was in CL Raimondo Montecuccoli

Hi Traskott,

The DDs are pretty much my own confabulations, not meant to represent actual DDs of WW2.

[GaryChildress]

Much thanks for the link Dili! Do you know off hand where I can find some names for Italian pilots?

An even more formal and in-depth analysis is in Fleet Tactics: Theory and Practice, Wayne P. Hughes, Jr, Naval Institute Press, 1986. Highly recommended.

Think I've got that one tucked away on the bookshelves somewhere. I'll have to have a look.

[GaryChildress]

Another U-Boat, type XXI. Free for anyone to use.

There was also a rare kind of ace
Pietro Bonannini. He served as gunner in naval search floatplanes.

[GaryChildress]

Awesome, Thanks Dili! That should be enough names for my Italians.

Hi Traskott,

Sorry I missed this. Dresden is kind of based on the Hipper class, a little. Otherwise not based on a real life design.

[traskott]

Thanks! How the mod goes? Any alpha version?

[GaryChildress]

No Alpha version yet. Thanks for asking. My job has been keeping me pretty busy lately. My mod has suffered a bit of attention deficit as a result.  

[traskott]

No problem, afb and jfb have always the same enemy: RL.

I'm going to start releasing some of the art I"ve been creating for Plan 8-8-8 for public distribution.

First up is the Kriegsmarine. This first file is carriers, capital ships and cruisers. Zip file is attached below. A preview of what's in the zip will follow in the next post.

[GaryChildress]

Here is the preview of what's included in the file above.

[GaryChildress]

This second file has a few U-Boats, 6 of the more common long range boats.

Here is a preview of the second file directly above.

Ultimately these are all cut and paste jobs so the AE team deserve the real credit.
