Classic Carrier Distinctions Emphasized
To make sure people were giving proper respect to the Concordia class Fleet Carrier, Marc has created an enhanced design based on his original Light Carrier model. The changes might be subtle on the outside, but the fleet carrier cruises with more than twice as many fighters into combat. Both are painted in fancy WC2-era colors, and the heavier ship is pictured second. An animated image shows a close up of certain details visible in WC4 DVD screenshots. The unique vessels are set to assume their proper roles in Ironduke's recently covered strategy game.
