[kirk23_MatrixForum]

Hi Guys,for anyone who is interested in adding the Italians to any of there scenarios,then I have just completed the 3 Italian dreadnought class ship art,enjoy Tex might add them to a download if you ask him nicely [:)]

Italian Dreadnoughts.

Dante Alighieri class = 1 ship Dante Alighieri.
Conte di Cavour class = 3 ships Conte di Cavour,Guilio Cesare & Leonardo da Vinci.
Andrea Doria class = 2 ships, Andrea Doria & Caio Duilio.

The attached file is of the Dreadnought Dante Alighieri class.



I will be adding there Pre-dreadnoughts,Armoured cruiser's etc after I have completed my High Seas Fleet ships.[:D]

[tex]

Italian pre-dreadnoughts are so cool! I am looking forward to those. Yes, I will be happy to include them in the next download. It will be quite a mixed bag, what with the High Seas Fleet, USS Helena, and now Italians. Graham, you are now a WPO legend!

Yo I'm going to tweak the Italian ships colour by putting a darker edge to the hull outline because I feel in the combat screen,they are not standing out enough ?

Here is the Italian Pre-Dreadnought Regina Elena class.

Hi Graham,

Thanks for all of the work on these ships, they look great! Any plans for Austria-Hungary? Italy needs someone to fight!

[kirk23_MatrixForum]

Hi Hueglin I will try to create, what ever ship art,that the War Plan Orange players would like to see display in game, If I can get a good photo or drawing of a ship then I can do it,thanks for feedback very much appreciated.

[kirk23_MatrixForum]

New possible feature I'm also thinking about is shown below,where by the ship now looks as though it is traveling at 20 knots etc, and is creating a large bow wave effect,plus at the stern there is the tell tale sign off a large wake being left after the ship,I have tried this out in the combat screen view,and it looks like the ships are moving fast through the water.[;)]

The new art for the Armoured cruiser Giuseppe Garibaldi class with Italian flag.

[tex]

Hi Graham, the Garibaldi is fantastic! As for the special effects, in my opinion, keep the flags and lose the wakes.

[kirk23_MatrixForum]

Okydoky will keep the flags & lose the wakes,that was the way I was leaning anyway,will confirm all nations naval flags before attaching to ship art ![;)]

[kirk23_MatrixForum]

Italian Armoured cruiser Giuseppe Garibaldi class with Navy ensign,so this is one of your favourite ships is it,I think out of the ten ships in the class Italy used 3 & Japan got 2,I think Spain got 1 and Argintina got 4 could be wrong maybe yes maybe no.[:D]

[kirk23_MatrixForum]

Hi folks, Italian Armoured cruiser Giuseppe Garibaldi class with Navy ensign flying from her mast,she looks tremendous in the combat screen in game,I have experimented and a slight reduction to the size of the flag,looks great attached to all the ships mast.Instead of floating in the corner off the art work.[;)]
