While AWAAP development is still paused, hope is at hands: "Bandits, coming in at eight o'clock high...break, break, break,........Gold Wing take those fighters, Natley and McArthur with me, we're going after the bombers....I'm going in on the leader.........got him! his starboard engine's burning up.....follow my lead men, tally ho!" ".......Damn it Gold Wing keep those fighters off us, I'm being torn to pieces......primary fuel lines been hit.....Jesus, keep them off me you bastards....those last two bombers aren't going to shoot themselves down....good God they've got the Bristol, her tanks have blown, she's going down!" A Wing And A Prayer is a total conversion for the Homeworld 2 engine, moving the action from space combat to early twentieth century aerial battles between a variety of fictional aircraft and airships, ranging from scout fighters up to ironclad super Zeppelins. Drawing on the style of games like "Crimson...
An early sketch of the campaign centerpiece unit,
showing a rough scale comparison to comparable
airships. Clearly Krieg is the biggest, most
heavily armed and armoured unit in AWAAP and as
such is non-buildable and non-controllable. It
does however play an integral part in the story of
the singleplayer campaign.
Wow. That thing looks AWESOME!!!! It's a pity you can't control it, though.
Theres a possibility of controlling it for one mission, but it makes much more sense in terms of both story and simplicity to have it as an AI/scripted unit only.
Hopefully that sacrfice will prove beneficial.
Nice, looks like a combination of the Bismarck and a space ship.
But also looks to heavy to fly.
Love the turrets.
This mod has very little emphasis on realism, the focus is on story and gameplay.
I love this...there is soemthign wonderful about stuff like this
wow, this mod looks like it could make hw2 become invested with players. great job ^.^ i have and idea for a aircraft name, Raamstein basicly it means a falling stone. so could be a bomber or bomber airships named? srry i love that band lol
its written rammstein xD
Thanks for the suggestions everyone, if you post them in the ideas threads of the forums: Moddb.com I'll see them quicker and will be able to discuss them properly with people :)
great ships.
but please dont name it Krieg. i never saw or heard about a ship called war. Maybe you can name it Odin or Wotan, these are gods of the old german barbarians. but please dont call it Krieg, cause it means war.
if you need good german names you must only ask, cause i am german
The ships the enbodiment of its namesake, hence the name.
Besides that I want to keep the German used in the mod to quite simple stuff, that people will generally recognise from war movies etc, even if they have no real knowledge of German.
OMG IVE ALSWAYS DREAMED OF A MOD LIKE THIS! I'm obsessed with aircraft, especially this almost steampunk style. THIS IS TOTALLY AWESOME! I mean, this is just so cool!
