Upgraded for the first time USA Subchaser.

Also upgraded for the first time USA MSW Bird class.[:)]

Ok, I need some help. I love all the artwork that you and your uncle did and want to incorporate into my game, but I don't know how. I have looked for a post but I either looked over it or just plain don't know what I am looking for. Any help from anyone on this will be GREATLY appreciated!! I want to see these additions in my game. (Sorry for the ignorance. [;)] )

The art file within the game directory stores the ship art along with all other files that show art in game,now there are 2 files for allied ships called Alliedship_ back & Alliedship_Transp. the ship art is numbered like this as an example = AnSide0014 & AnShil0014 The AnShil files are needed to show the ships on the combat screen,and they are coloured PINK!!!!

To add the new art, if the art comes in the numbered format as above,all you do is copy & paste the new art into the Alliedship_back file,thats the file showing the ship as it appears with the sea and sky background,do the same for the Shil file,but copy & paste it into the Alliedship_Transp file.Please note each ship has 2 files Side & Shil.You do the same for the Japanese art,but they go in the Japship_back & Japship_Transp files.

Thanks Kirk. I will give it a shot when I have time this weekend. I appreciate the help!

I think she's a real beauty.

Cheers Bill II, between you & me it was Connfire who requested it hehehe!!!!

Yep - looks awesome! Thank you. [8D]

It wasn't until I started playing the 1926 Scenerio that I realized that BB New York starts the game rebuilt, and her sister BB Texas enters as a reinforcement with similar tripods. [;)]

It looks like the USS Panther should have been built with a zipper for as many times as she was Recommissioned and Decommissioned. Looks like they couldn't make up their mind what to do with her.

USA Lexington class Aircraft carrier.

USA Dreadnought Florida class rebuild new art.

Does somebody own a compilation of all ship and aircraft art mods, downloading them like this is quite tedious.

Yep. I was looking everywhere, and nothing. So probably thats the only choice.
