Does anyone want to try a hybrid carrier/cruiser Seydlitz? Yea I know what you all are thinking.

Thanks

Is this what you're looking for? I ran out of time before having to get to bed.

Side:


Shil:


Patch:


Let me know if you get any pink artifacts with the shil/patch, I was moving fast on them, so I may have missed a pixel or two.

BMPs attached.

In for a penny, in for a pound.

Once I posted it, I realized the hybrid version would have some cruiser caliber main guns - I'm guessing this is more what you're after:

Looks great, and thanks Korvar.

1928 Molkte Battlecruiser

Suscribed, I want to have this art, too...

Preview:







BMP files attached. I didn't test the shill for artifacts (pink/purple squares showing up in the combat replay), so let me know if there are any issues.


Edit: files weren't attached

Looks great Korvar. Many thanks.

What are you working on Traskott?

A BHUSMM!!

( Big Hug Unrealistic Self Made Mode ).

I should add: VERY unrealistic. Hummm... Will open a new thread so all forum can point me .

This is great work. I've added to my art collection. Thanks....GP

That is a good looking ship.

Is it just me or did the German's really have a skill at building and designing BEAUTIFUL warships?!!

Traskott: My mod started out as being somewhat historical then I made a left turn down fun lane. If you need anything or help yell.

John 3rd: I agree with you, they did have some beautiful ships.

Thanks, this week will post a pre-alpha, to show my (crazy?) idea...

Nice. I have art from multiple people on my computer if you need some.

Thanks! I have a lot of art too, but will ask you for more...

Another request.

Hi Guys, does someone know if there is already a bmp of the Settsu in her planned 1944 layout as aa-cruiser? (I have a picture and a link too but I'm not yet allowed to post it...)

Or maybe in her real ww2 appearance as target ship? She was still used for Troop transport early in the war with China and could have been used so later too...

Veut: This is what I have. tm.asp?m=3892005
