Atomic Eagle II: The Price of Freedom Development

[jim panse]

Ha, I am glad my American map is finally doing a good deed to Civ 2

[Broken_Erika]

I'll dig around my collection and see if i can find or make something that can be useful for this scenario

[Broken_Erika]

Mabe you could include this tank, if someone is up for making the graphic
T-28 experimental tank
Armament: 105 mm gun
Crew: ???
Armor (max.): 305 mm
Speed (max.): 14km/h
Dimensions: ???
Weight: ???
Produced No: 2

The germans weren't the only ones designing supertanks

Ah yes.... you bring up a good point Erika. How much thought have you put into hypothetical American tanks and airplanes Harry? Though the American war industry may not have adequate time to build designs which are too far fetched to fight off the invasion.

Also, last night before I went out for New Years Harry I caught part of "Red Dawn" on television. It got me thinking, are we to expect any "Wolverine" style militia's operating behind German lines? It would be next to impossible for the invading Germans to confiscate every single gun in occipied territory so I'd imagine American insurgents would have no problem getting access to weapons and other firearms.

That beast never even made it near a battlefield -

But in this timeline, it might just!

I could see it being a slow, but potent defences-buster...

I have that movie, it's a cool movie
It is also a good point, I guess you could use partisans for that type of unit, Ph33r the NRA

pLUS THE t-28 is in Battlefield 1942-secret weapons of 1942, it made a good sturmtiger buster in that game

[Sarsstock]

Yes, it would be interesting to see an American version of the Soviet Pripet Marsh partisans. They could do an excellent job in operating out of mountainous or heavily forested area's, striking at supply convoy's and sabotaging road networks.

I was also wondering Harry, might we see any hellicopters units in this game? If so I couldn't imagine them being good for much more than simple reconnaissance aircraft.

Our cousins at CFC CIVIII have done some serious work on the T-28.

If anybody knows how to extract a .bmp or similar CIVII friendly file from a .flc file, there may be some useful graphics here.

From the complete T-28 specs posted on the CFC thread as well as elsewhere on the Web, it appears that the T-28 belongs in the same dinosaur museum as the German Ferdinand and Maus.

The 28 would indeed suffer from the same problems as the other overly large 'super' tanks of the era.

The M-26 or Tiger were as big as a tank had to be.

(The Panther and T34 were the best WW2 tanks anyway!)

Size doesn't matter anyway, it's the way you use it...

[Broken_Erika]

I think the m-28 was probably designed as a tank destroyer that could blast any panther or tiger tank that it came up against,

What I can't figure out is..."Why the hell did they do the T-28 Civ3 version in LIME GREEN!? "

Still, the T-28 design over there is nice. With what 3D programs do they make those designs btw?

[Harry Tuttle]

Well I will try and work something up. I'm going to stay away from the Civ3 design as converting FLC's to Civ2 format renders the image as to blurry. The unit sizes are to different. I can probably use a design similar to what I did for Curt in his first Vendetta. Or was it second? I dunno. Anyways, I'll try it out.

[Sarsstock]

Indeed, I agree Harry that the Civ III unit just won't like right next to the amazing units you and Fairline designed. All are good units, but I for one don't care for mixed and machted unit.gif's, and I'm sure you'd agree.

[Broken_Erika]

i'd recommend making a new unit, i'll give it a shot
The m-28's max speed was 8mph
and as Dease described it "a big massive yellowy-green 190 thousand pound behemoth travelling towards you at 8mph is very very stealthy "
heres a picture of the unit that i found in it's thread.
