Has anyone worked out how many polys are in the existing ship models.

The quality of most of them seems good enough to me, -- for a flight sim.

11k polys for the Iowa seems a bit high --- but its your choice.

Well if you want to use particulary this model,below 11k it's not looking like ship,it's nothing.
It needs an entirely new model for IL-2.

This is what i found

Poly limit is 1000 for smaller cargo ships, this is 570.

Ground vehicle limit is 500 polygon, this is 482.
