Hm. Hard to say. If you want a heavy, slow, but hard striking ship cut off these finns on the front and implement a cockpit like the Heinkel He 177 from WWII. Right behind the cockpit should be the widest part of the hull and goes thinner to the back. Downside a gondola in a shape of a half cutted drop would be nice and makes it fat but with a bit elegance.
After several weeks i had contact with Dragan again. I asked him about the progress of the model and it turns out, there was no real progress. With Dragans permission, i brought in some design ideas. Also i finished and skinned the model.
As you can see a bulky and massive ship. Me personally think, it would fit better with RH than my Asgards.
Thats the reason i finished it.
I love it! To me, it really looks like something that was slapped together under difficult circumstances, but is nonetheless effective, if that makes sense. Regardless, I definitely think it looks Hessian. A bit clunky, maybe, but very solid.
I only have one real gripe: what's with the two little pods on the wingtips? Those aren't the only engines, are they?
I like that one too, a lot! But the wing tip engines, if that's what they are, look strange to me. Could they not be more of a nacell/cylinder/torpedo shape? Not sure about that yellow/black texture on them either.
Definitely looks more Hessian than the dragonflies:)
"To gain a hundred victories in a hundred battles is not the highest excellence;
to subjugate the enemy's army without doing battle is the highest of excellence."
The main engine is the bulky back. After Hessian engineers tested the manoeuveribilty , they were shocked, because the ship turned like rock. The whole design was very promising and they did not want to scrap it.
So they attached some small engines at the wing tips, which was very helpful, even if this was more like an improvising.
Quote: I thought we weren't supposed to be making any more ships for, like, months.
Of course, you can make new models. No one will stop you. The topic was about new model submissions.
On the other hand, i offered my help to Dragan weeks ago and finished it yet. These posts are just a presentation. This model will be submitted not earlier as soon as 4.84 was becoming final as Igiss has requested also.
I vote nay. Both as a red hessian and a normal player. I wouldn't fly that even if it were put into the game, and that's being a hessian. I understand everyone has their tastes, and my tastes say *insert regurgitated food here*
what are the boxes on the side of the wings...?
from the top, it looks not so bad, just really big a target for a ship, on the side, it looks a like fighter that went accidentaly through a compressor and went out still functionnal... while the boxes on the side are really strange.
Also, I know RH doesnt have their own ship really, but... this doesnt look neither border world like, nor rheinland like.
anyway. nice design, but looks way too big to get in a fight.
