Like the Argo! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0FX8I0V3Qc)

Id love to see battleships. Think it would make sea to sea fighting even more intense!! Not to mention more bombaring enemy town for LVT landings!! :D
-
I LOVED that cartoon when I was a kid!!!!! Too bad that clip didn't show them firing the Wave Motion Gun. That thing rocked:aok
-
Yeah, it's time to expand the sea section. So far GV and airplanes have been expanded, I think that the next update will include some kind of naval option.

How about instead of using animated films to show what kind of a destroyer we want. We use a picture, such as:

QJUAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL...forget the guns, what we need are those 8 Tomahawk missle modules.
I can see the Toolsheddarz now..."ok...1 Tomahawk for the VH...1 for the Ord..."
-
hell with that .. just one for the base.. one tomahawk with the cluster munitions can take out 300 sq yards

No, they are 8 inch. I think we need 16 inch guns, would be a great fun for sea battles!

Actually I think the largest naval gun in use with the US Navy right now is 5". It is a semi-auto rapid fire system on some of the guided missle cruisers.
-
and DDG's ..biggest guyns i remember shooting where the 3 inch ' 50's onboard the LST i was on .. i missed that
-
Starblazers was cool.....
I remember watching that when I was but a young an... Gonna have to find a copy for my kids...LOL

Wait a minute, thats way ahead the 1940's!! I thought this was WWII, not the Cold War.

I know, I was just noting in my own way that in the last use of the Iowa BB's the Tomahawks were more potent than the 16" guns. Not that the 16"rs were useless, but the Tomahawk was the main tool of the BBs, which is an awfully expensive platform to shoot missles off of.

how about the japanese kongo-class battleships?:aok :aok

Yeah, but it's a shame to have mothballed them. Sure, you can launch cruise missiles from smaller / cheaper platforms. But doing so lacks the psychological factor that hearing / seeing those big guns each launch 2000lbs of death fifteen miles inland.
Cruise missiles hit their targets . . . usually a building or bunker. No fear there. Walk away from the target. You're safe.
But OMFG those shells are raining everywhere seemingly at random -- NO PLACE IS SAFE! ! ! !
But maybe that is just me.
-
Imagine being able to rain a Lancasters worth of destruction on a coastal target salvo after salvo...
Not to mention that you would probably have 5" guns that could fire to the front or rear without being blocked by the turrets on a full-sized BB.

Yeah. It would be cool to fly over one and just watch it stop and explode on it's own!!

Give me teh V-1!
-
I loved Star Blazers!

V-2, okay, but not V-1's! They were believed to be awaiting a nuclear device so that hitler could send it into london. And that's where No. 633 squadron came in. Because what they bombed was not what they were told. About it being a possible creation site for the Rocket Fuel of the ME-163. It was an area believed to house the research and creation of a nuclear device.

V-1s were buzz bombs... You're thinking of V-2s... V2 was the ballistic missile!

Heck, I'd be happy if we could just spawn individual player-controlled destroyer escorts. Not much code required there, I should imagine, though we'd need to add torpedoes and smoke generators. You could use the PT boat code as a strating place, I should think. Also, I'd like to see an LST you could drive up to the beach and have it act as a vehicle spawn point. And now that I'm warmed up, how about adding a tanker, ammo ship, and troop transport to fleets to emulate the fuel, ammo, and troop bunkers on land bases? That way, you could selectively take out a fleet's ability to do certain types of missions without having to kill the flagship and wait for the respawn.
P.S. Loved "Space Battleship Yamato" (a.k.a. "Starblazers"), too. Me and a few friends have been trying to come up with a MMOG loosely based on the concept (though not the storyline). I'd post a picture, but I don't have it on a website I can link it too.

Okay, so I got messed up, it's been a year since I read the book.

intrestingly enough my friend.. perhaps the large beach landing cargo ship that carried tanks,,{lst}? drooooool:aok

Yup Saber, I'm with you on the player controlled DE, with smoke and torpedoes. We would also need to code smoke generators for PT's, as well.
If player controlled DE's are eventually implemented with the smoke generators that would go a long way to helping out in fleet vs fleet battles. You lay a smoke schreen down to prevent them from guaging their fall of shot, and can use it to spring out from and lay some 5" fire on them, or torpedoes.
It would be the battle of Samar, all over again.:D Those tin cans really worked over the Japanese Center force, basically de-acked the big boys so that the planes had an even better chance of getting in and damaging them.
