User LuftWFJ44 uploaded this icon for the Hood sometime ago...

LuftWFJ44 created some excellent vanilla-style units in this topic here:
viewtopic.php?f=147&t=45942

I just recently stumbled upon this topic and added the units to my game. Too bad we haven't seen anything more of him yet, because he listed many other units he already created.

The Hood looks pretty cool.

I'm back... which units would you like me to post ?

Welcome back.

I just looked through your thread, and I have to say there's some really nice work in there... Which makes me think, you might be a great person to ask... We're currently looking for a good Fw 200 in vanilla style, which seems to be right up your alley. So if you're so inclined, the Condor would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome back (to work)!

Every single one, of course!
Seriously, all your units looked fine so far, but you can start with your other ships. Can't wait to replace those other generic ones!
If you have so many other units to share, better post them in your own topic for better overview.

Welcome back, LuftWFJ44! Nice to see you again around here!

The zip with the units I have is uploaded in the original thread. As for the Condor, I will see what I can do... I will need it for my game as well, so it's on the list.

Wonderful, thank you!

The Condor is probably one of the most overlooked (while at the same time most important) units in the game. Not only is it a cool design, but it also adds a new dimension as a legit maritime raider. Great to have a four engine, long range bomber in the arsenal.

Late, but hopefully not too late: finally did the UK gliders that were still missing. Here are the Hamilcar and Horsa, on-map gfx plus big UI render in a zip attached. Preview Horsa:



Unless I forgot something this means all air units in the game so far have a replacement.

They are excellent. Great job mate (as always).

Thx guys

You are right, so good

Thanks for making and posting these! I think you`ve covered everything flying that existed in vanilla. Apart from the V1/V2 rockets of course, but I don`t think there`s much point redoing those. Any plans to make other aircraft in the future?

From time to time, yes. Might even include that Yug 109er. Or something else for minors... There are some I'dlike to include in my game anyway so there will be still updates with some intervals of course I'll stick to my personal rule tho (units that saw active service prefered, so no prototypes or paper projects for the time being).

I was considering - time permitting - putting together an allied campaign that starts in Poland, but when you get to the Low countries and the Balkans it`s rather dull when you look at some of those countries` inventories. As an aviation enthusiast I consider a small air units pack for the minor factions would really spice things up. It`s up to you of course and, now that all the vanilla aircraft have been replaced, any extra plane you choose to make can only be an welcome bonus to the game. Many thanks for your efforts!

That mean we still have change to see rare units or common like Stork

You want Storch? I'll make a Storch for you later today, no problem. There's a free model on SketchUp Warehouse. Unless of course bebro wants to do it

Nah, just do it if you want. I'm certainly not stopping people from making units

I remember there was also a modder quite some time ago who did a Storch from a free 3d model IIRC but I dunno if it's available anymore...
