Hell in the Pacific MOD

[dimitri_harkov 10]

Well, the real Guadalcanal is more than 20 times larger than Chernarus... big enough for any warfare :)

Even our scaled down version of it is very large, and due to the planned dense terrain it will feel even larger.

Indeed that might be a good place for a warfare. Let's see if someone ports it.

Also, we have a huge low detail map of the northern pacific in the works that might suit your island-hopping-warfare-idea.

Somehow I doubt that this will ever work for AI but it could be rather interesting for warfare style missions with human opponents.

Cheers,

D.

Oops, yeah. Got my figures mixed up. Yes Guadalcanal is big. Roughly equivalent to the distance from London to Birmingham in it's diameter. Plenty for Warfare.

At some point I may replace the units in Warfare BE with WW2 ones to see how it plays out with those.

Sounds interesting ! The AI is always improving if you run the latest Beta's.

Just want to inform all that the mod team is back from summer break and working hard now to get the first release out ASP.

But still we have no date yet. We post here when we have a release date.

What? Are you kidding me? You were on vacations? Who did allow you to take à break instead of working on this mod?

This is forbidden! To all of you! What about the sacrifice spirit?

You are not to take any other break nor do anything else IRL until the mod is out, understand?

Ahahahah! Just kidding you, I hope all of you DID enjoy your summer holidays, and I wish you good luck and "bon courage" for this awesome mod!!!

Anyway, I dont remember if I asked you this already: will there be a SP campaign and SP missions released with it?

[dimitri_harkov 10]

Thanks, I indeed enjoy it and yes, you already asked :)

As far as I am aware, we have neither at the moment.

But I hope that I (or some other team members) can at least create some single player missions for our first release.

Cheers,

D.

Will there be a "Build campfire" option ? I notice this is actually in Warfare BE under Commander --> Strategic. Japs should have "Drink Saki" :drinking2:and "Clean holy rifle personally blessed by Emperor" options. Americans need a "Smoke Cigar" option to be used after capturing a position .

[fkymplbo 5]

Any latest screens of soldiers on both of sides?

[fkymplbo 5]

Really no updated progress on these?

[grub 10]

Have patience...If they spent all their time appeasing everyone's desires they won't complete their free mod they're going to give you!

Please stop asking for updates. It is annoying for everyone and also we deem any such posts as spam. Since you felt the need to ask the same question twice I guess its time for an infraction so you are again very aware of the forum rules which go here.

Will there be troop transports from which the marines will board the lvts or lcvps?Also I can't wait for the release you have done an EXCELLENT WORK and you have paid great attention to detail from what I can tell from the pics on the forum and the vids on youtube :rolleyes:

or Japanese just need a good landing ship vehicle .. :)

Very basic mesh :D

[dimitri_harkov 10]

:ok:

And by the way: The US have a nice Attack Transport for their LVTA2s, LCVPs, LCM3s... (damn, who came up with that abbreviations? :)) too.

Mabye Wax feels like posting an uptdate on it.

Cheers,

I was actually wondering what landing ships the Japanese used as I've only ever seen the one's used in BF1942 ... what model is that ? Looks good ! Hopefully it's packed with supplies of Sake .... Probably stolen from some hastily commissioned supply in Asia somewhere ....

[babylonjoke 22]

It's the No.101 class landing ship , soon will follow also the daihatsu ,which is the one that you know. :D

Does this mean that the LVTs,LCVPs and LCM(3)s will be stored into the troop transports and possibly get launched from them so that they can capture an islnad or bring ammo suplies and other stuff?:confused:

Typing mistake

[dimitri_harkov 10]

Yes, exactly.

I guess you can see this on several vids already.

At least we did this very often and it would be a shame if we never recorded it.

Cheers!

[MEU98 1]

Yes but I am wondering if the AIs are smart enough to do something like this..At least it will work at big multiplayer matches.Wait this means that you are going to detail the interior of ships?Man your mod is going to be just awsome to say the least.:)

[dimitri_harkov 10]

I guess with VERY heavy scripting you could make the AI do it, but normal AI does not know how to behave on a ship at all.

So far we have no interiors (that I know of), but that might still change.

[MEU98 1]

Are there gonna be any subs.Cause i had a great idea that originally comes from another ww2 pacific theater related game called medal of honor pacific assault.If you want me to tell you it just ask me but it has to do with subs and makin atoll.

[mr pedersen 41]

No. Subs is more for ARMA 3 where you have the sea you can dive in.

[MEU98 1]

Damm it.It would be realy nice though.I was also wondering if the Island of Pavuvu and the other islands that are around of Guadacanal will be included.

Do u know if you are going to make the Red,White and Blue uniform of the marines?

Edited August 30, 2012 by MEU98

[MEU98 1]

Are u going to add some kind of "jeep" or escort carriers?

[dimitri_harkov 10]

Hey there.

-We only have olive uniforms for the marines.

-We have the US Willys (by Waxbutter) and the Japanese counterpart, the Type 95 Kurogane 'Daruma' (by Gachopin)

-We have some sort of generalized escort carrier at the moment (it's no particular ship class as far as I am aware of, and we currently use it for both sides). I guess it will be like that in the first release too.

Cheers,

D.
