Blatantly copying the IronX style I'm working on an air unit mod. Tell me what you think.

So, nobody cares...

Then I'll just take my round units and go home. [:'(]

I do. They look great - some very interesting later ones.

Hi Hairog

They look great, especially the later war/ upgraded one's.

But you have 6 for each type, how do they fit in with the research levels?


Tac x 3, fighters and strategic bombers x 5


Even long range only goes up to x5


Regards
Mike

Glad you like them Mike. Hubert has the first level at ZERO. So the first plane has 0 level in whatever research. Zero and 1-5 gets you six.I just followed the arrangement of the square ones and six it is.

Actually it's twelve. Somewhere hidden in a script etc. is a string of code that uses the second/right hand set of markers when a unit is a certain distance or some trigger based on position. That way the Germans are facing West on the western front and facing East on the eastern front.

So lazy modders have to fill out the whole unit sheet or they get strange things happening.

Did a little research on the later models and they were the most produced in their time period. I never heard of most of them, but then again 1946-48 were pretty much lost to history in the US.

Great book on the era
