Ah well... perhaps someday I'll be able to use them in another capacity.

In RealFlight I s'pose they're not much more than pretty things to land on.
I still kinda like em.
 
Eventually it will find its way to the swaps.

I have 2 Ticonderoga class cruisers done now; the older model Vincennes (pictured above) and a refitted VLS version. Although the earlier variant of the Ticonderoga cruiser is no longer in active service (Vincennes is decomissioned), I always thought those older style missle launchers looked ominous. The refitted and active service version is the CG-60 Normandy. Since carrier strike groups can include two cruisers, I'll have both of them escorting the Stennis.

I can say that adding the cruiser to the AP does make it funner for the helis, and perhaps the rare individual that might like to launch something vertical, like a rocket.

That would be cool!

Although, I don't think the MK41 VLS can carry something as large as an ICBM.

A nicely detailed LASM would probably be more fun to model...

You could probably put a smoke effect on the deck for a launching missile...

But if I were to request, it would be a Wasp class assault ship. With superimposed Harriers above the deck. :)

I'm using smoke for the stacks on the Normandy...
(Stennis and Vincennes off in the distance)

So, you're the one breaking my iPhone with those obnoxiously large Pics. :rolleyes:
Figure out the forum attachment yet?
 
I was going to ask you about that, phrank. He probably thinks like your friend Reggie that we need to see the pics in as high a resolution as possible. I think it's annoying.
 
Yeah, I know how attachments work... and I've also learned how this forum works.

I didn't realize the pics were annoying. :(

The pictures themselves are great. The size of them however is not, mainly for viewing on smart phones. Panning around to view the pic is the annoying part. :)
