Sweet ass, finally a place to show off my talents hehe. N e ways, ill hopefully be able to finish up the bombers animations *just the basic ones for now* tommorow and start on a fighter. After that, i wana make a helicopter lol. i know they wernt used for any combat during the war n were mainly used for evacuating the wounded but couldnt we build on that? that'd be pretty cool, well maybe...

hmm, i will need something else to do after the fighter of course, something cool n big :p hmmm... but jah... hosted = awsomely awsome. someone give me those icons for the upgrades, ill compress em down to like 2kb's-4 each aight?

Sorry Patrick, no Poland for now. But maybe when we make a campaign near the end of our project we will make Poland. Also, your sig you made me when i started this project has become our official logo :D Thanks for that

About helicopters, i dont think we should have them. They were not used in world war 2. There was an experimental helicopter that the japenese were thinking about using for anti-submarine wellfare, but they never got it to be very effective.

And the fighter, just make it like every fighter was in WW2, they had a general design that all sides used. Ill see if i can find a picture of it.... The dive bomber was also made in the same design.

EDIT: Here are some pictures of what it looked like (make them grey):

Fighter 2
Fighter 3

from the research i did, helicopters were used during wwII for mainly evacuating the wounded from the field. They were not used for any pratical offensive tatics since that wasnt until i think 1955 n the french were the ones to do it. I think it would be kinda cool to have a quick evac unit. It would make more sence yah know? a plane needs a field to land on, a copter would be able to land just about n e where. Plane would be better for the whole paratropped thing :) , u dun goto worry 2 much about giving me concept art since i gots a bunch both offline (my own stuff) and on-line.

When yah expect to have the forums up???

Helicopters weren't around in ww2, they were used to evacuate troops from korea, about 5 years later. so around 1950, whenever korea started., i mean man, think of M.A.S.H.! the best t.v. show ever!....I guess that was alittle before your time....heck that was before my time!

P.S. i think i'll say it in every post till it happens.
When is our forum area gonna be up?

You should have commisar as hero for the russians, He could have a skill called "Standfast" or something where he gives the men around him (this is an aura) a higher armour or something (devotion aura). Also another one could be "execution" where he kills someone and the rest of the men get a higher attack speed to prove they're not cowards, of course that one would need to be a trigger enhanced spell so it depends if your trigger man can do that, An ultimate could be (another trigger spell) inspiration and all the men get higher hit points, armour, attack and firerate for a few seconds (like a group version of the mountain king's "avatar") or something, You could also have a banner bearer for the russians 'cos the russians liked their commie banners :P

And sorry if all of this has been suggested all ready.

maybe, i duno, read somewhere n then heard somewhere of the limited use of helicopters during ww2 for medical uses and evacuating the wounded, but i could be wrong

Helicopter History Page

helicopters were being developed near the end of ww2 and to a great extent, they were quickly advancing... tested mainly for coastal uses since they wanted them to be used to identify submarines. Now i don't read nothing 2 much about medical uses. So much information, so little time to research it all.

I duno, i think it'd be kinda cool to have some simple uses for a helicopter but aint my decision i dun think. but meh, ima be finished my bomber now :P peace

If we had a helicopter there would be no use for paratroopers except for stronger infantry. And from what i read on that page, the first recorded US lifesaving operation was in 1944, the year the war ended.

EDIT: The forum was supposed to be up yesterday... dont know what happened. I think it should be done within the next few days.
