Naval Warfare? More Tanks?

[Bludwulf]

 I have seen Aces high grow slowly over the years. I enjoy the game and the improvements made thus far. I feel we have enough aircraft for now, and most humbly put forth a few Ideas.
1. Tank Landing ships ( transports a Sherman tank to shore)
2. Destroyers and Submarines ( and all that goes with it, I know it seems like alot but a sub is just flying underwater)
3. More tanks, Tank Destroyers, and maybe Artillery.
4. In future- Cruisers, Pocket Battleships, Battlecruisers, Battleships. ( Make them cost points but let us have our own ships)
The naval warfare has been only just explored in game with our task forces, I feel it can only help bring all those naval fanatics in with those aerial warfare lovers to the game. Imagine The hunt for Graf Spee. or Destroyers launching torpedo attacks?

I am very happy thus far, and only want to see Aces High succeed against its competitors. By increasing the types of battles available it should bring a more varied group of paying customers to High Tech and Aces high.

No.   Thank you.

[Zacherof]

No.   Thank you.

  think of it as more kills to pad our stats

1) LST's are argued.  Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing them.
2) HiTech himself has stated that he wishes to add submarines to the game.  It's guaranteed that we'll get DD's along with em to counter them, as well as sub hunter weapons/aircraft.
3) Agreed.   More artillery would be nice as well.
4) Largest ship that should probably be player controlled is a heavy destroyer.  Now adding bombardment fleets that included heavier cruisers and battleships...   We would need to up-gun the shore battery's for sure though.

more aircraft this is Aces High after all.

I think the casual naval crowd would certainly enjoy these roles, would provide much more varied and accurate experience then other similar games do at the moment.

 I would like to see the Stug III the Stug IV and the Hetzer 38 in the game. After all the assault gun was the most numerous of all German armor in WWII.

+1 to all except submarines.

Two 8" guns vs over a foot of armor and ten 14" or eight 15" or nine 16" or nine 18.1" guns?

Sounds fair.

I don't hate water.

I hate little squeakers that would be using those subs. Not only would they most likely shoot off all 24 torpedoes but every single one would miss. On top of that the subs would have to be enslaved to the CV group.

After YRS of asking, Gave up wishing for more detailed Naval warfare..

+1 but I ain't holdin my breath..

I think subs would work fine as autonomous, player-controlled units just like PT boats.  The biggest problem I see is that they'd be boring as heck without other significant changes/additions to the game.  Right now you can, A: Hunt CV groups, B: Fire your deck gun at coastal towns, or C: Hunt other subs.

Option A could be fun for the patient player.  B is kind of pointless.

C is impossible... how would you even find each other?  Enemy CV groups can be spotted easily from the air, or give themselves away when littoral combat begins.  Subs are hidden, and with vast oceans on most maps (at least in game terms), you would never just run into each other.  I think shipping lanes would be a fun solution, sort of like the trains and supply convoys we have now, but that would require a far more complex upgrade.

Sounds fair. 

Come on Karnak, the fact that they only have about a 90 degree arc of coverage more than makes up for the lower caliber and inferior numbers.

[Latrobe]

Yes to all! Unfortunately we probably won't be seeing most of those wishes for a long time.


I'd love to see more things for Jabos and bombers to blow up. More supply ships for our future PBYs and subs to hunt, more trains for P-47s to strafe, a train station for bombers to bomb, and more truck convoys to kill.

Maybe even get a new resupply system where we have scattered supply depots all over the map that resupply their region. We could either bomb the depots to lengthen the down time for objects in that specific region, or bomb the strat cities we have now to lengthen the time it takes for those depots to resupply their regions. We'd have tons of targets to hit with bombers and Jabos.




Did I mention more trains as well? If not, we need more trains!
