We know, but remember how small they are. You can't get pixels that are 1/3 of a pixel thick, you know...

All right, Here's a Porter. Will not show total evolution of anything. These are eye candy only.



You guys have to understand these are just previews. we can't show totals of anything, we can't show the whole set af any ship 'type' or 'class'. All we are allowed to do is give a peek under the hood. Sorry, but there it is. Terminus is quite right, many upgrades, especially of smaller ships, are just a few pixels different from the base model. You are really going to have to wait for the game before you can complain about the art.

Ciao. John

Thar purdy!

. . . complain about the art.

I dont know how in the world anyone could do so. The models look amazing!

When you consider the fact that WITP is just about the ultimate game for grognard's, you really can't be too surprised that there will always be complaints. It's the nature of the beast, you see...[;)] 

Hi JWE,

not complaining at all, just wasn't quite sure what T meant, but now I see.

The complaint part is that it's a shame Matrix originally opted for such small graphics ...but I guess we have to live with that now .

Whatever you give us, I'm sure we would gladly take it as it is .

Oh, heavens, that was just a joke. Known Ron for years, and just can't resist giving him some gas every now & then. [:D]

Yeah, it is a shame, but then it makes it quite a challenge too. Being small, you can fit a lot of them on the combat screen. We'll try to show what we can. Under the rules we can show 'samples', but we can't show the whole Magilla. Have to keep some surprises under the hood.

But, here's another 'goldplater' - 2 models of Bagley.

When all stuff will be in my hands...those tiny ships will grow and grow....

I'm a "goldplater" fan. How about say, the Porter class through all the refits. Farraguts?[;)] PLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEAAAAASE!

" I found a typo in one of the other DD classes' data while looking at the Porters.[8D]"

Ah HA!!!!!!!!! Obviously BROKEN!!!!!![X(][8D]

I'm still amazed at the amount of detail you guys can cram into such small margins. Amazing really!!![&o] The goldplaters look friggin' great.

I know that, God love you. It was for you, mostly, but also for Dixie and others, that we made the bitmap charts. No need for you to plod through the thousand or so bmp files to see who goes where. We wanted to make it as easy as possible for ya.

Oooh, mentioned by name [:D]  That's very decent of you to make things easier [:)]

I'm sorry if it's been mentioned already, but I can't make the search work properly and I can't find out exactly what the scale is that you chaps used for the ship art. [&:]

Scale factor is [(loa x .165) + 45] or so; sometimes 46, sometimes 47, depends on what the Mk-1 eyeball thinks is ok. Smaller the ships get, the more 46 and 47 we use.

Can't wait for that, you master of ship arts !!!

Hope you add in the camo schemes as well (although AFAIK TOMLABEL did a good job on that part already).

A comprehensive set of USN camo schemes in conjunction with other modifications will be available after AE release as a mod/add-on developed by several folks on the AE team.

Keep the joy, csatahajos!!!![&o][:)][:D][8D][;)]

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too cool.[8D]

Thanks so much Tom! I like this game more and more !

BTW I like your avatars Tom, I guess these are from around the early '40s , anyways keep them up. Would be nice to see them back on the loading screens of Witp (in a separate mod of course).

Cheers,
