Pacific Additions

Suggestions
1

First off Pacific is a pretty good chapter that was much needed for Enlisted’s Campaign Theatre. The balance is fair for the weapons & equipment provided for both Allies & Axis forces, vehicles are okay but not suitable for the maps provided at launch it being about 60-70% ocean based & hard to really maneuver on land unless you got the LVT or Ka-Chi.

What I think should be added in the next major Pacific Part II Update is inland based Maps set in the dense jungles or peninsulas of Guadalcanal & other Pacific Islands filled with makeshift bunkers, encampments, with tunnels & caves, or railway bridges (New Armored Train Mode?), or even urban warfare like in the Philippines. Weather should also play a big part in this as well.

Vehicles that should be added that aren’t in the files as of yet. (To my knowledge at least, correct me if I’m wrong)

P40-E or F
(AVG Flying Tigers or Guadalcanal Hawks Skin/Paint job)

Ki43-II or III Otsu

Ki45 Hei or Otsu

Sōkō Sagyō Ki (Multipurpose IJA Flame Thrower Tank)

Type 2 Ka-Mi (Float Tank version of the Ha-Go)

Squads that should be added

Z Special Unit (Australian, New Zealand, UK, & Netherlands Special Forces Unit)

USN Seabees (Engineers)

Special Naval Landing Force (IJN Special Forces)

Additions for IJA/IJN & US Uniform customization.

Palm Tree/Bush camo for Japanese (Like a cloak)

Hachimaki (Kamikaze) headband for Japanese Pilots

USMC HBT Cap (Marine Corps Logo visible in both olive drab & frogskin camo)

M1917 Doughboy Helmet for US

Weapons/Equipment/Blades for both Factions

Type 99 Early (Short & Long)
Type 44 Calvary Carbine
1928A1 Thompson with Drum Mag
M1897 Trench Gun with Springfield Bayonet
Type 96 25mm AT/AA Gun (Replacement for the Flak 38 in game for Japan Engineers)
Type 1 47mm AT Gun for Japan (Replacement for the M1 AT Gun)

That’s about it, open for discussion. (Might add stuff that comes to mind)
Thanks, Frank.

The question is, is the Pacific campaign only going to focus on Guadalcanal and we’ll eventually get other Pacific campaigns; or is this campaign going to focus on the entire Pacific Theatre and all the different periods and battles.

Like would we eventually get Okinawa and Iwo Jima content

so far, that’s what inside the editor

less good about having the m3 gmc and m8 staghound premium though :unamused:

These are a big help, I remember watching DawgIVLife’s YT video posted a few days about all upcoming vehicles I guess I forgot the few he showcased, Thanks!

I personally like the core campaign system we have for the others; but I understand why they would make this decision for the Pacific so if someone wants some Pacific action they only need to go to one place. And Japan didn’t have that big of variety in weapons, vehicles, etc so its better to keep everything together.

In fact I’m willing to make an exception for the Pacific since I’ve been enjoying it so much

15

Ahah i can finally correct Erika!

P40 is a warhawk with 6 mg.

While P400 is more close to a aircobra (one big gun in the noze, a few mg)

They are two very different plane.

16

Another thing I forgot to mention should be weather like heavy rain or fog, Pacific Islands were notorious for it.

17

it’s named P-400 in the editor though

maybe a typo (?)

as i have encountered a few of them:
( like a camo called stantart instead of standard. or a few misppelled german names )

18

20mm Hispano in the nose, 4 7.62 MGs on the wings, & 2 .50s above the nose. A really gnarly aircraft.

What I love about this game is that its a true WW2 sandbox and we have everything from the famous and well known stuff to the rare, experimental, and prototype stuff. Weapons, equipment, vehicles, etc; and this game grows over time little by little with more content

And Japan has a lot of rare, experimental, and prototype stuff.

what the majority like less though, is getting more prototpyes stuff available for larger quantity and mass known produced tanks behind pay wall :upside_down_face:

but that’s another story for another thread…

23

third has the charm as they say.

but would you bet the forth will be paywalled as well?

bets are open.

dunno if we will ever see it since we got the III for normandy, but who knows :eyes:

26

Maybe we will get the StuG VI non paywalled with its MGs.
One can hope.

27

Judging by devs actions we will have a free TKS captured by germans, sooner than any free stug.
