Like the man said, gotta know when to hold 'em and know when to fold 'em, know when to walk away and when to run...

Sorry, what were we talking about?

Attached is a .zip file with a better side for an Omaha CLAA, using the 5in turrets from the Atlanta side. The other one had 6in SP turrets.

Gary, I really like your stuff here as usual. I do have one question. Have you made the stats for these ships to put into the editor as you for your what if Australian CVL you did a long time ago. I really liked your Hawkins CVL and the others and could use some ideas on wps, speed, ect.

Thanks

Sorry for the long Hiatus. Was making some Civilization III units and messing around with Starcraft II. Got bored with Starcraft pretty quickly, though.

I don't have any recommendations for stats for the ships above. Basically when I do stats I usually try to eyeball it between the original stats of the original ship and maybe stats for a similar ship with similar upgrades. Doesn't always work well but it's the best way I know of.

So here's a quick offering. Instead of being scuttled at Scapa, Konig Class BBs get a new lease on life, refitted between wars. The middle turret is taken out and the deck space used for life boats and scout planes. Never was and not even in the right ocean, but maybe someone out there will do an Atlantic mod. [8D]

Excellent work, Gary. If we ever finish tinkering Scen 70, I'm really tempted to make an alt_naval mod, using this art (assuming you're willing to let me use it, of course). I thought "This can make a great mod" when I first saw alt_naval fleet lineup, but that thought went nowhere my absolute lack of drawing ability.

Here's a nifty little ship I found at shipbucket.com. As far as I can tell this is purely fictional. I'm not even aware of any plans on the drawing board for this ship but it's a Dutch light cruiser/destroyer leader. The author of the drawing calls it the "Schelde" class. Looks pretty neat ergo I must make it... [:D]

Thanks Gary, now I will have to come up with some specs.

I can't find a Schelde class, but there is a Damen Schelde shipbuilding company who built some of the ships we know and love( some of the Dutch subs and DDs ).

Here is a link to the appropate page

I found the same thing when I did a search. I have a hunch this ship is purely the invention of the artist who drew it. As far as I know there was never even a design proposal to build these. But it was fun to make... [:)]

EDIT: I may look into the Dutch ship building industry one of these days and put together an alternative building program for them, something along the lines of the Alt_Naval projections I was fiddling around with.

Sort of along the same design as the Schelde posted prior to this except this time a heavy cruiser design. A bit longer and more guns.

I'll probably be doodling around a bit with the Dutch navy for a while. I just want to give credit where credit is due. Most of the drawings I'm working with are by a poster named Vossiej who has uploaded his images onto www.shipbucket.com. Thank you for your excellent work, whoever you are! [&o]

The Matrix forums seem to serve as a good base for my work for right now. We did have some comprehensive fan sites a la Spooky and RogueUSMC once upon a time. Are they still in operation and up to date? Otherwise I don't know where else to post my stuff.

Not sure if RogueUSMC is up to date...

Well, I'll track your post to got the ships [:)]

This is a neat ship, a VERY large DD at 426 ft. Somewhere between a DD and a DD leader. I took the original design on shipbucket and took off the seaplane (a seaplane seems kind of useless for a DD) and then added a third bank of TTs. Small ship with big pointy teeth! [:D]
