is there a possibility of a FH naval battle...

***lbaran36*** · May 5th, 2003

i was just wondering if anyone on the FH team or any other modders were planning a naval battle map or mod based on great battleships such as the bismark,hood and the familiar prince of wales. it could be based on a search and destroy type map and it would not even have to be historically accurate. it could include u boats and early carriers and being a water based map couldnt it be made very large?

They are doing a bismarck map...bismarck, prinz eugene(right?), other boats, and the infamous fairey swordfish that lead torpedo strikes on the ship.

that will be real cool if they do. its seems so far most naval maps are carrier based with air combat being the focus of everything.

Yeah, they are producing naval maps and naval units. But the ships takews alot of time to make.

Also the ships got a little bit more heat. When you got an artillery spotter (man or plane) near the enemy fleet, your battleships can pound the hell out of them while half a map away...
That can wreck your carriers day in seconds.

I cant wait to fly a biplane, that will be a blast!!

Maximus, it is one of the greatest experiances you will ever have...judging from my Trench Rats testing, anyways...

i wonder if they can make the damage to the ships centered on the areas where they are hit. examples: hits near the guns would slow down reload time, hits near the rudder/propeller would effect steering and speed. that would make it somewhat realistic but still a blast to play.

Hey I hope the sound guys go real hardout on the swordfish..I mean it was an open c0ckpit so there should be a nice wind gushing by sound as well as a nice loud engine...should be a real noisy bastard to fly.

I love artillery...cant wait to take out ships from the other side of the map.

We can't respect the exact location of the hit to make changes in the ships behaviour. Probably we'll have destroyable mainturrets, but not 100% sure yet.
