Well it's official

[+Stary 2,427]

So the ships are unloading their flak and launchers at the ASM guests.

 

So are my thoughts, otherwise TK wouldn't SPEND TIME making screens of Backfires firing them followed by shots of ships engaging something.

Pure Monday morning logic apply

Well one of the ships in the background does appear to be getting hit.

True, noticed that too

[Teras 67]

All I can think of from those pics. VAMPIRE VAMPIRE VAMPIRE!

lol That's what I commented on the pic on Facebook!

[Slartibartfast 153]

Lets face it that many inbound somethings bound to have problems... also I think there would be very few ships out of CV/N's able to handle a single hit with an AS-4 and thats without it having an instant Sunshine attachment... looks damn good though...

Is that a Gearing class DD?

 

Update: DD 743 was the USS Southerland, a Gearing class DD. She was decomissioned in '81.

Are those new burners?

[+Stary 2,427]

these burners look like on previous shots

 

anyway I DO LIKE what I see

[Murphy'S 15]

Did you see the Carrier hit on the first pic?

[+Stary 2,427]

there's no carrier hit on the first pic, move along

 

looks like it's exploding... waay to big for standard ASM object hit explosion effect

 

there's another ship taking hit close to radio mast, another to the left, and slightl visible water hit right of carrier

I bet, WWII mods will use interceptable ASM as object type for kamikaze and maybe even V-1.

[Centurion-1 1,228]

Nice. I am really excited about the possibility to destroy carriers, and a proper naval warfare. It's going to add a lot to other scenarios too! I just hope like PureBlue that the community get's access to the new terrain tools ASAP after release!

[+Stary 2,427]

IIRC TK stated several times that terrains will be made entirely in 3D Max

[+JonathanRL 974]

I just had a strange feeling that when I wake up tomorrow, SF2: NA will be released.

 

I do not belive it, but somehow, it feels soo close one can almost taste it. God, I love TK not providing release dates. It makes it soo much more exiting :D

[JediMaster 451]

Perhaps, but after all this time I no longer feel it. I'm now in the "it's out when it's out" zone. If he provided an actual date that might change, but otherwise my feelings are just "nice screenshots."

same here, since the Saturday set(s) of screens... something's in the air, I can almost feel it

That's because you just farted.....

[arthur666 65]

hey Stary, can we expect you to work your magic on the new Iceland terrain? Don't forget the sheep! :)

[+Stary 2,427]

That's because you just farted.....

 

hey! No way! It's the wind

 

@Arthur666: will see, I'm dying to get my hands on the new(er) terrain engine

[Gr.Viper 131]

Don't forget the sheep! :)

Each one an individual model.

[+Julhelm 266]

Yeah it better not be too hardcoded...

[Silverbolt 104]

well, from now we haven't see a mult radar-lock screenshot or intercepted ASMs

 

also wionder if tk will update the ship destroy effect (ammunition room explodin and etc) andif they will be modular...i'm not sure if a single Harpoon would sink an kiev class , but it would at least cripple it.

 

what you guys think? is it too much wishful thinking?
