CAW ground objects
Posted: Mon Feb 02, 2004 12:49 am
As I'll shortly be embarking on the CAW target files, we need to think about the ground objects needed for CAW. These are my first thoughts, though perhaps our ground object types have been there before me.
If we're going to do fair representations of the substantial American and Japanese naval fleets we're going to need apart from the carriers, battleships, cruisers, destroyers and torpedo boats, and probably submarines. The best battleship we currently have is Woolfman's development of the original I did for Midway. Midway also had crude cruisers and MTBs, but these need to be upgraded to the current standards of the game. If we're going to simulate landing forces we may also need landing ships and landing craft.
For the land targets we're going to need Japanese and American armoured vehicles, including the US amphibious types. The Col's new trenches with any ammendments for pacific use would be good for the Japanese defensive positions in the islands and Phillippines
As most of the theatre is sea and islands, and most of the airfields were pretty basic, the only place needing any serious buildings are the towns in the Phillippines, principally Manilla. We probably do need some sort of pacific island rough shelter type things - bamboo and big leaves!
Most of the aifields will be single strips, so we can reuse the single strip without any grass surround or taxiways I did for Pacific Tide, with many of the converted PAW airfield objects with perhaps new higher res skins, and perhaps some parked aircraft.
More thoughts welcome.
