An Act Of War To Feature A Navy!

[EvilViking 0]

It's time for another update! To start off, we've got a new team member, imustkill. He'll be mapping and scripting missions for both the USA and Iraq. He's currently working on a bonus mission (outside of the mission plot) to be released with v2.0.

 

As you can tell from the title, v2.0 will feature a Navy for all sides (Iraq and the USA in v2.0, North Korea as well in v3.0). This idea was cooked up by team modeler Garrick. Unlike other mods, where a Navy is a nuicance to create or is simply overpowered, the An Act of War navy will compliment the ground battle, not overpower it. There will be three ships for each side:

 

- Light attack, this ship can attack other ships or targets within range on shore

 

- Anti-air, self-explanitory, these ships can provide mobile AA on the water

 

- Transport, such as Hovercrafts or landing craft to transport tanks and troops

 

Let's take a look at the first naval unit to be finished, the USA Gunboat, modeled by Garrick. The Gunboat will be armed with a medium-strength cannon, and can be upgraded to missiles:

 

 

Also to show off today is the USA's new CG-47 Cruiser. This unit will not be buildable, but will be part of several singleplayer missions. The CG-47 is armed with powerfull dual 120mm cannons, or a single 120mm and duel missile launchers (shown):

 

 

It will replace the current Destroyer seen in v1.0 and v1.1. Post your comments or suggestions by clicking the link below!

Is that a shellmap?

[EvilViking 0]

No, no, it's a 3DSMax 6 render! :lol:

Damn...

I knew smaller naval vessels besides America's bigger warships would get into AAOW eventually.

 

Big thanks to Garrick

But you can't make the AI use the navy in skirmish, right? :(

[Black DoomsDragon 0]

We'll find out when PCTeen1 tells about that, Yuri Kenobi.

We'll find out when PCTeen1 tells about that, Yuri Kenobi.

How else would we find out, ask a random guy on the street? :blink:

[Black DoomsDragon 0]

I sense some sarcism, but PCTeen1 is the mod leader of AAOW as we all know

I was just trying to hint that what I had quoted was a bit obvious, sorta like saying "We'll find out how to add 2 and 3 when the pre-K teacher tells us" Plus, saying "We'll find out when PCTeen1 tells about that, Yuri Kenobi." doesn't really help with his question. :P

 

Anyways, very nice ships, except the missile launchers on the bottom one look a little off. Too bright maybe?

[mastermind 0]

Any chance of seeing CG-52 or later? The Mk-41 VLS is a very cool system. You could probably even make the missiles look like they've been launched with a bit of clever art.

Nevermind, Freedom. Yuri Kenobi, most Generels/ZH mods that include navy I seen hasn't been able to get the AI to use the navy or attack enemy navies. But PCTeen1 and Garrick maybe able change that.
