In regard to gaming industry, very detailed high-poly models are often used to generate texture, shadow and normal maps for a low-poly variant of the same in-game character. This technique rarely used for mechanical objects, because in their case, it is easier to do by hand in 2D editor.
But for "organic" models, like humans, animals, etc. this hi-to-low-poly modeling is preferable technique. Plus, the "left-over" high-poly models can be used for making pre-rendered in-game cut scenes with those characters form the game.

And, offcourse, there are a lot of other applications for the high-poly models outside the gaming industry.

And for franchise and advertisment articels, box covers etc.

Thanks for every new aircraft! We need them! Do-217M is beautiful (although a bit slower than she should be), we can look forward to the He-177 and renew the debate on the desirability of the Do-17 :)

S!

Ju88 P -series would be nice :) .. Some heavy firepower :)

Dreaming of Ju 88’s versions, my favourite would be the Ju 88H-1, long-range reconnaissance aircraft for Atlantic theatre. Too difficult for implement in the sim – it would be completely new plane – 2,57 m longer fuselage, radial BMW 801 engines… but with its range of 5.150 km and on-board radar… A fifteen-hour mission, alone over the sea… I know, nobody wants try this:). On the contrary Ju 88P needs only simple weapon improvement – so it IS a reasonable wish, I think.

The Ju88P would be interesting. I'd vote for the Ju88C-6a which is a heavy fighter gunship version with a trio of light machine guns and another trio of MG-FF 20mm cannons. These were used operationally at various points on the eastern front as train hunters and the like.

And the A-14 too. Both versions were already done long ago, but Oleg rejected them... :(
