Things that go BOOM!

[TX-CUDA]

....just tried this out..First off, these pics are from a new map I am making called Castle1.mis...The opposing forces have seized our castle and are drinking all our wine and chasing the women! Bombers are to attack the ships in the area and also destroy all ground forces in the area so our troops can re-take the castle. Same brief for each side (RED/BLUE). Here you see where I added both tank cars...and ammo cars..to the load that the ships are carrying...so when they are hit...BOOOM!! in the case of the ammo cars...the tank cars just put up a lot of smoke...







...just started on this one tonight so I'll post more as I make progress. Off Tuesday so I might even get it finished..

...I worked on this "Castle1" map tonight for a bit and here are some screens of things I let my imagination go with. One is a heavy bomber factory that is encircled by a high wall to keep Fifth Column sabateurs away from the assembly lines.85mm guns are inside the towers...and I checked,they shoot!Another shot is of a dock..and finally I made a pretty good looking hangar for my heavy bombers as my line crew was complaining about having to wash the salt off the plane almost every weekend.Same goes for my HE-111H-6 which is not in the hangar yet.The last shot added shows the guns firing at each other from across the Gulf(enemy guns are located under balloon on horizon)..will work on this map as time allows..TX-Cuda

...Thanks Monguse. I am not sure when I'll have a test version ready as my next idea is to place spawning planes under such a hangar..and to see if they can be protected from naval gunfire and bombs by it. I'll try that out starting tonight.I did so a couple of fly overs and strafed with MG fire and the cannon from an IL2-3M and the bomber was not damaged....so I'll have to see what the bombs do next.I'll keep ya'll posted..TX-Cuda

...put the map up last night and had several pilots on the test.I found that the 88mm and 85mm involved in the gun battle across the water are so intent on shooting each other that it is possible to fly to the Blue base..drop torps at the ships...and circle the ship to watch the torp hit and the train cars explode without even drawing any AA fire! I have never seen this before but it happened last night. Also tried to taxi into the "hangar" I had placed on the blue base and found that even though you can place a bomber, four Stuka's,and a flight of FW-190's inside..apparently there is a problem when I went inside. Problem was...the roof came down and destroyed my 190! ....ships loaded w/either ammo cars or fuel tank cars put off some beautiful smoke when hit with torps....i'll post some pics later when I get home..TX-Cuda

...just noticed this...Look at the last picture that shows the smoking ship docked underneath the Castle...look at the damage that the ship's exploding cargo did to the castle...not gonna be much vintage wine...or women..to salvage there!TX-Cuda
