Agree. In fact, those may have been better than Austin LPDs for SF2NA. Anyway, it was about time to get the JMSDF. It was my fav part of a Jane´s 1989 my father keeps with all those ecclectic ships. I wonder how to make them appear in single missions, with Japan having no carriers. A mission with F-4EJs covering a surface group from Chinese attack would be epic

I think I'll leave the Newport for someone else to do. Sorry, I know it would be a good addition, but... it's just such an ugly ship! What with that big ramp thing on the bow and all. I don't think I could take the project seriously.

To generate a task force in a random single mission, the country needs at least one capital ship: an aircraft carrier, battleship, amphibious assault ship, or cruiser. The JMSDF doesn't have any battleships or cruisers, but I fully intend to provide an LST and DDH, plus as many escorts as I have time for.

 

Still need to do the decklines, decals, and bump-mapping on one of those escorts, anyway.

Hi Samuri,

 

Here's a few ship profiles, so hopefully we'll see them all very soon! Plus, I added my little baby just in case; Never enough f-14's, you can always hope! ;)

 

Cheers Mike G

Thanks for those drawings, mikeg_65! The Keelung (ex-Kidd) is on my to-do list, and models are so much easier to make with good diagrams.

 

It's the 4th of July over here, so happy Independence Day to my friends back in my country of birth. Here are some "fireworks" for you.

All the weapons are working now. The Sunburns are really nasty since she launches them two at a time and they quickly go supersonic. I still have a lot of work to do optimizing the model. (It's currently more than 60000 polygons, which is higher than my Tico, and a bit too much for a ship of this size.) And after that, the uvw and skinning.

 

I have some PLAN ships in the works, including their most numerous destroyer type, the Luda:

And the Yuting class LST, which will allow the game to spawn PLAN task forces:

There have been a lot of great uploads recently, so in case you missed them, please check out my Type 051 Luda class destroyer pack and Type 072 Yukan / Yuting class landing ship pack for the People's Liberation Army Navy. With these models installed, you'll be able to have full task forces appear as targets automatically on Taiwan terrain (and any others with China as a primary faction).

 

Finally finished unwrapping and started skinning the Sovremenny. Please give me another week or so.

The USN will be getting a new destroyer or two after that.

This ship is still in the works, but it will take forever to arm and even longer to skin.

Thank you for your support. I got a lot done this weekend:

I still need to do the distance .lods, collision mesh, helicopter deck, refit (956A) variant, PLAN variant, and all the non-sequential (nonsensical) hull numbers.

Decals done. Each ship in real life has had 4 or more different hull numbers so I just picked the ones I liked best.

Refit version done. The Top Plate radar came out really well, if I do say so myself. Her SA-N-12 missiles are very painful.

Bonus animation for those of you who like helicopter ops.

The Sovremenny package should be up tomorrow after final testing.

I think the NA campaigns just became little harder. Oh my.

not the stock. Sovremenny wasn't in service in 79.  NF5 on the other hand.......  all i can say is Hornets, Harpoons, and high speed low level!
