No, the harpoon tow cables it comes with are only good enough to take down sumos. :3

that actually would be a nice alternative to the newton.. harpooneer... drag enemys into trap or water... or tear them apart...

we took a sumo, cabled him over a cliff, and there was evil radar-unit to tickle its feet.. he died a roflribble death.. the laughter haunts me at night...

definatly would steal that, but i have a creature already that harpoons with its tongue tanks long range- so cant steal from myself :.(

even IF the guy who did those ported them to spring.
- They are flat with very shallow details, meaning all of that will be lost on you in game.
- They have little contrast meaning everything will look like a grey blob.
- The rest would take many years of work to complete.

too hard to follow? they look >decent< for a cinematic and are useless for in game. What mr. bob is producing is much better.

this reminds me on womens shoes.

it looks like a big heavy gun, with very little around it (which looks like a destroyed, upside down Lego piece), but it can swim.
like guardian out on the water, and it can swim.
that is just my general, overactive sense of "realism" though, the guns and the tower look very nice, also ... everything i guess you did on it, Behe.

About those russian remakes, smoth put it pretty much perfectly well why thats near impossible.

Also, just to be clear, All of the models in this thread are done by Mr. Bob, which is where all credit should go. I only rig them and chuck them in game. All textures by pyra.

The Problem with realizm is, that you basically get down to one standardshape for a ship, that isnt much altered at all, except for stealth and rockets replacing artillery, military ships over the last century didnt change much concerning look.

I liek the destroyer.

yeah true, for ultimate realism.
but that is not what i am talking about. what i do not like with this model, is that the turret looks like 1/2 of the ships volume, and 3/4 of the above-water-volume. it feels like a 10t stone with a standard human swimming west, and it swims!
with the old model, the relations in size seem much more natural.
With the crow for example, it is the other way around; the new model makes much more sense.

I think the ships are my favourites so far, especially as shown in Beheriths latest shot, please dont change them.

As for the peewee, even if all of smoths points where null ( which they are not ), why would we want an exact duplicate of the peewee that's just higher res?

Well, back then when I saw the boats I thought I'd whine about how the boat bow was in imbalance with the rest of the hull, especially with the cannon, making it look a bit silly. But now seen them again, in-game, I kinda like em' being expressive and characteristic.

They look really good.
