As suggested by Ron, here is the first draft of the Georges Averoff, a WWI era Greek Armored Cruiser.

I can't find any references detailing any refits to Averoff after her late 1920s refit. Her is a pic...

Your pic looks fine as it is.[;)]

RE: Artwork from TA
Conway lists her 1925-27 refit and reboilering, and also states:
"She escaped to Alexandria during the German Invasion of Greece and did convoy duty in the Indian Ocean after that. In that time she carried, apart from her and secondary armament: 8-3in, 4-3in AA, 6-37mm". I could not find a 3in Naval Gun so the best I could come up with is:

Actually, if need be I can unclutter the foremast, make it less "sophisticated".

USS Midway.
She isn't to scale as the others (she should actually be 80ft longer than an Essex). Still, I think a good representation, especially with the highlighted gun deck of 5"/54s.

There it is! Good job backwoods boy![:D] Hey, could you not use a frame the size that Subchaser uses and then do it to scale?

RE: Artwork from Tankerace
I probably could, but then in the surface combat screen (should it ever appear) it would seem to be ramming the ship in front or behind it.

Though perhaps accurate, I find those vertical lines aesthetically unpleasing. [:)]

RE: Artwork from Platoonist
TheElf send me a couple of weeks ago the art of planetop for testing.
For the one working of planeSide (SubChaser ?), do you match top with side to have a coherent look for plane.
It's a little disturbing to see a B17 Forteress in a color where transfering it and see another color on replay.
I have the same problem on original game with A5M4 Claude but it's less disturbing as they are quickly upgarded to Zeros.[;)]
