Really looking forward to seeing that CAAA (can't be a CLAA with all those turrets).

[el cid again]

That CLAA is not sensible. It is an Atlanta writ large - too many guns. And you cannot mount those 100 mms on the sides like that anyway - these are HEAVY mountings - bigger than 127s or 140s. The Japanese did study CLAAs and what they did was very much better - they shrank the design to a destroyer with four mountings. That ship had an AIR plot behind the bridge - the first in Japan. Japan had the first computerized air defense plot system in the world - "probably better than anything the Allies ever had" - from a book on radar just published. While six centerline mounts make some sense, the side mountings in Japanese studies were twin 76s - those fabulous ones for Ibuki and Oyodo - but which they failed to mass produce. Sort of the US 3 inch 50 much sooner.

I request art for a Ku-8 Glider in tow by a Ki-21 tug - an ex bomber,

I request art for the Ki-76 - imagine an up engined Feissler Storch - in JAAF colors. Possibly with its 1943 depth charge armament. This aircraft operated in a squadron off an Army carrier - a conversion of a transport into a full deck carrier. Must be the lightest carrier combat aircraft ever to fly in WWII - or maybe ever.

That's nice, but you'll never see it in the game. Transports are never displayed. And as a result, only A/C with offensive weaponry and those that have offensive missions available to them are seen in game.

[Terminus]

Exactly. The tops are a waste of work, good as they are...

I Know that but I dont know how he is going to apply them after all I have airships and choppers in mine and they work ok

Cobra Aus

[Terminus]

Yeah, but those are (I assume) patrol aircraft?

[Akos Gergely]

Nah I have a boatload of plane art wishes, just don't know where to start. I have photoes and other stuff about'em which I can post later on. ('Im sorry if any of them has been done before..)

So here it goes:

A7M Reppu - Sam
G8N Renzan -Rita
B7A1 Ryusei - Grace

and for the allies:

F7F Tigercat
F8F Bearcat
TBY SeaWolf (TBF Avanger's contender)
B-32 Dominator/Terminator
Douglas XB-31 (contender to B-29, was superior but palnning was more advanced on B-29) just imagine an enlarged Invader, but I have photoes of it's model, it's really a beautiful a/c.

Any of these would greatly help!

Thanks in advance!

I'm interested in the ex-DD banana boats that were acquired by the U.S. Army as blockade runners in early 1942. Names were Teapa, Masaya, and Matagalpa. All I have are a poor photo and a poorer schematic.

All but the TBY, B-31 and B-32 have been done.

I need if possible art work for the douglas XB-31 no luck so far if anyone finds please post

Cobra

[GaryChildress]

That would be pretty hard to do as there probably isn't a drawing in existence of an XB-31.

The Douglas XB-31 was the third of four engineering designs resulting from US Army contracts issued on 27 June 1940. Two of the engineering designs (XB-29 & XB-32) resulted in prototype contracts; however, the XB-31, like the XB-30, was withdrawn from competition. The XB-31 never progressed past the basic engineering design phase.

The XB-31 design was never finalized, but the basic parameters were the same for all projects in the Very Long Range Bomber competition. The aircraft was to be powered by four Wright R-3350-13 radials of 2,200 hp. each and had an estimated gross weight of 88,500 lbs. A crew of twelve was projected, but some Douglas design studies had as few as eight crew members.

That one never got off the drawing board, did it?

Anyway, I searched Boeing fast and came up empty. Good luck.

[Akos Gergely]

They are very nice! A big thanks or them!

Terminus, where can I find those planesides that were done from my list?

Yep, the XB-31 wasn't built, but nevertheless it was a technically advanced design and was superior to the B-29. And finally it looks extremely cute ! I sent to CobraAus the only pics I have about it's model.
