WW2-1979 Graphics Showcase

[tanelorn]

2nd try to post this. So I'll be brief

a)Kawasaki Ki 45 Toryu "Nick" -long range fighter.
b)Kawasaki Ki 61 Hien "Tony" Bf-109's engine.
c)Kawasaki Ki 100 the same with a Mitsubishi engine.

(I think I'm turning Japanese... )

Italians and Czechs coming up.

Czechs

Two more planes:
a) The Czechoslovakian Avia B135 fighter (it took me something like 5 minutes, you can see why). Never fought, really...
b) The Japanese Mitsubishi G4M "Betty" long range bomber. Something like 6.000 km, due to its huge fuel-tanks. Just one shot and boom! Fireworks

Have you tried any Japanese tanks to go with your aircraft?

Sure, name what you have in mind and I'll do it.

Meanwhile, even more planes:
a) A Japanese Mitsubishi G3M "Nell", the bomber that back in 12/10/1941 sunk HMS "Repulse" and the "Prince of Wales" maiming the Royal navy's power in the Indian ocean. The perfect choice for a pre-1942 Jap. bomber IMHO.
b)The PZL P.37 Los ("Moose", as Heresson told me ) Poland's best (medium)bomber during its fight against the nazi horde.
c)PBY Catalina, the famous and immortal airboat, since it flies to this day. Join the Black Cats squadron and raid behind enemy lines!
d)The Nakajima Ki 43 Hayabusa "Oscar", the Japanese army's workhorse for most of the war.(The superior zero was navy's plane).
e)Another airboat, the Japanese Kawanishi H8K "Emily", arguably the war's best protected, equipped and long ranged airboat. Try 7100 km! It patrolled the shores of India for a while.
f)Finally, the British Short S.25 Sunderland, the "flying hedgehog". Epic battles with Ju 88 long range fighters and panic striken U-boats on the horizon!

How to use an airboat in Civ2? Give it helicopter (no need for airfields), sub(to attack just ships), see2, see subs flags and let it rule the waves!

Steff, I am afraid the bmp is distorted. Here's your autoblinda anyway. A bit too dark perhaps?

[tanelorn]

Steff: Don't mention it. I need some italian armor myself, for a possible scenario. I 'll see what I can do.

Meanwhile, more planes:
a) A German Do 24 seaplane
b) A Fairey Fulmar (A late war painjob to turn it into a Firefly coming up ). A naval fighter conversion of the Battle, modern but inferior to the Sea Gladiator biplane(!).
c)A Japanese tankette.
d) and e) P39 Aircobra, American tactical fighter/ Attack plane.More than half (5000 give or take) were sent to the USSR. April 1941+,it served in the Pacific and N.Africa for USAF, RAF and the Free French. I think that USAF's only WWII all-black squadron flew this plane. A great favourite because of the 37mm gun that fired through the nose-cone. Perfect vs bombers and tanks.
f)A Japanese light tank. Is that ok, Fairline?

[tanelorn]

Thanks.
I 'll probably give it a try, during the weekend.

As to the Italians, most of their production was of the M11/39- 13/40- 14/41- 15/42 line that look alike, more or less. Nemo's unit fits them all. When the war started they had mostly tankettes, like this CV33. Their successor was this L60/41 light tank. As the war went on, they abandoned tanks (which they were so bad at making) for tank-hunters like the semovente (that stood a chance, at least against English tanks). There is a semovente a few pages back, I think.

Just another nazi looser with a big gun and tracks.
Is that what you have in mind?

Here is a 105mm sIG IB I made for 2194 Gigamap...
It is not that good, but do what you will with it.

Steff, the one you posted was blurry to me, so I jsut winterized ANZAC's version of the KV-2.
Hope it works for you.

[jim panse]

nope, the factory was ade by Nemo.

now i may present you some desert storm-like units.

M113A APC
US Infantry
M2/M3 Bradley
M1A2 Abrams MBT

[Pap1723]

Here are all of the German vehicles that I could find made in the Nemo style. I took most of them and I mirrored them so that you could have them facing both directions.

If I missed any units, or have the initials wrong on any of them, please let me know.

Soviet Vehicles
