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.
