Now updated with working anti-ship missile launchers (and a bit more cosmetic detail including railings). They'll fit right in with the Jianghu series frigates I've just uploaded.

I kept busy during the site down time. Screenshot dump incoming. Railings added to the Jianghus; still messing around with the specular and gloss settings. Julhelm, if you have any tips for bringing out highlights, I would be very grateful. I did the same for the Jiangwei series: And added fully functional anti-ship missile launchers: The Ticonderoga updates and refits are nearly finished as well. Here's the final, fully modernized "Cruiser Conversion Program" variant. Notice the Mod4 guns, Mk38 Bushmasters, Block 1B Phalanx, and booster-equipped Standard Missile? And naturally, the Ticonderoga has working Harpoons now. (At least the CG-47, land-attack, and not-quite-VLS versions). I held a test battle of a CG-47 and CG-52 vs. four Silkworm-armed Jiangu frigates... Just two anti-ship missiles passing in the night... AEGIS has no problem intercepting those old tin cans. The Arleigh Burke, Kongo, and Kirov will get an equivalent makeover. The Leahy and Bainbridge too. The Sovremenny is coming as well, eventually, but I'm getting a little burnt out working on really high-detail ships. To me, doing smaller stuff like the Jianghu series lets me "take a break" but still feel like I'm being productive.

These are the improved Jianghu-IIs,basically the same thing but with better missiles and twin mounts for the main guns. I've given them a light grey paint job like the more contemporary PLAN ships. Incidentally, is there any interest in Taiwanese ships? The ROCN's Chien Yang, Chi Yang, and Cheng Kung classes are transferred or license-built versions of stock ships (Gearing, Knox, and Perry respectively), so I made them with simple extracting and ini editing. Different indigenous weapons were added to some of the ships later, so they're not perfect, but close enough to the real thing for purposes of this game I think.
