Alright, for starters, I love this game and I do love the current plans for the next two campaigns. I personally love the WW2 part of history since there was a lot of intriguing events going on so this game was a perfect hit for me. One of my personal favorites in the WW2 was the Pacific Ocean battles with Japan vs America.
I think for a future campaign, the Battle of Iwo Jima should be a major focus in the game. There is the jungly terrain, the tunnels, and much more that made that battle a whole lot different from what we currently have. Conquest and defense/attack modes could work well with these. I do not know the exact real size of Iwo Jima so I don’t know if its possible to split a lot of it up, but could use all the other islands as well rather than just Iwo Jima.
Secondly, rather this is a LTM or just a differnt campaign as a whole, there should be battles that involve defending your aircraft carrier or destroying another’s as they make their way to key points. Would give players a more reason to fly. This would also introduce a new mechanic of water with boats and submarines to destroy the enemies carrier. Depending on if the current engine can do it, you can even spawn on the carrier to use anti-air and anti-boat guns to protect it. Perhaps a more easier way to land as well using these carriers.
Here’s another cool idea that would be neat for a Limited Time Mode. A map that is a ship. Like an aircraft carrier or battleship. Of course these wouldn’t be historically accurate so it would be a LTM or an April Fools event
The pacific alone has so much insane content that instead of just specifically Iwo Jima, they could call it “Battle of the Pacific Ocean”. Unless Iwo Jima can fit a whole bunch like Normandy and Moscow can.
Perhaps, but I do not see this game doing non historically accurate events or even events at all. It seems to be one of those serious dead set games rather than goofy games. I could be wrong though. I wouldn’t complain either way.
I would also suggest potentially an early war battle as well like that of Of course but you can have an early war campaign like that of the Philippines or Wake Island. Philippines is probably the best option there.
Pacific campaign would be great, points for the first suggestion.
Either grouping them together or focusing on a specific landing zone would be best.
But the second idea, nah, I know people want this to be war-thunder with infantry, but a vehicle based gamemode isn’t suited or in the scope for this game.
Battle of Manila would be really awesome for late war too. A proper city battle between US and Japan.
Pacific theatre as a whole has a ton of content that could be added. Both Iwo Jima and Wake Island are small enough that it could technically be possible to recreate the entire islands in a map.
I am curious about how the Chinese front will play out with the ROC vs Imperial Japan. That area is the least explored part of ww2 and can be very different equipment-wise compared to other campaigns.
