USS Iowa (Battleship) (Virgil's boat)

colossal, i guess xd.

it's my fifth (or sixth) model; it took two months and probably 150 hours in total, because i don't know how to build a battleship :/

* Because of the in-game polygon limitations, I used as few polygons as possible in my AA-guns modelling to avoid the game engine not being able to compile the model ...... although it would make them look cheap. (This does not mean that the battleship has so many polygons that it could easily cause the game to crash)

* the air-to-air radars of the 1943s look so ugly, that's why SPS49 is used.

This battleship doesn't have any collision boxes because Valve (the game developer) has not made its collision boxes under control of the add-on's model; in short there is a problem of jumping overboard through the model. Please make sure to take a little safety precaution when using it.]
