WAS Set IV: What will it contain Page Previous  1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9  Next          Axis & Allies ForuMINI Forum Index -> WAS General Discussion View previous topic :: View next topic   Author Message protevangelium   Joined: 18 Aug 2008 Posts: 249 Post subject: Did anyone notice how the type listing for aircraft in Flank Speed went from Aircraft to simply Air? Could this mean something new (e.g. blimps) is on the horizon for Sets IV and beyond? _________________ Mon Sep 14, 2009 12:17 am jfkziegler   Forum Administrator Joined: 10 Jan 2008 Posts: 6928 Post subject: More than likely it indicates an error. _________________ Mon Sep 14, 2009 12:53 am protevangelium   Joined: 18 Aug 2008 Posts: 249 Post subject: jfkziegler wrote: More than likely it indicates an error. That might be true, but it's kind of interesting. I don't have every FS unit, but looking at the cards for the Jill and the A6M5, they say "Air." On the other hand, the Helldiver says "Aircraft." _________________ Mon Sep 14, 2009 1:14 am JuggernautJ   Joined: 16 Aug 2009 Posts: 110 Post subject: Zepplins, blimbs, barrage balloons (whoops, wrong war) are considered airCRAFT. They just aren't air PLANES. Could this perhaps be (if it is not the most likely and obvious explanation, an error) be an opening for Anti-Aircraft? _________________ "...all the measures of the Government are directed to the purpose of making the rich richer and the poor poorer."

They were around for WW II. But that would certainly be an interesting route for WaS to take. Now that we have LST-type craft, it isn't out of the question. _________________ Mon Sep 14, 2009 1:32 am protevangelium   Joined: 18 Aug 2008 Posts: 249 Post subject: Looking through the photos on this site of the FS units, it seems only the Japanese aircraft say "Air". Probably an error, as suggested above. But who knows... _________________ Mon Sep 14, 2009 1:50 am woodgateski  F*** all these guntoting hip gangster wannabes Joined: 20 Sep 2009 Posts: 443 Post subject: I know whatever I throw in here would probably be shot down or something but anyways.... People talking about the sister ship to the Graf Zepplin and it never leaving docks, hey neither did Arizona. I know she already had combat experience but WaW focuses on the WWII point of any ship. That and its not like we're actually trying to recreate every battle like they happened. This is OUR war we create. Anyways a couple things I think would be interesting to see are the proposed US Montana class ships or UK Lion class ships. Both of them sport to be big sluggers, especially the Montana. The Lion sported an increased 9 in. belt, far more than the bismark class. The Montana was the only ship proposed that could have duked one on one with a Yamato class, carrying an additional 16" triple-turret and like sized armor belt as the Yamato. There are a couple other ships that they could use for germany before the run out of ideas.   In July and Sept. of 1939, two H-class battleship keels were laid. The H-class was pretty much a bigger Bismarck. 8 16"guns in twin turrets as well as 6 21" torpedo tubes. If we are just sticking to ships that made it out of port, well i know this one is streching it, but the IJN Super-Carrier Shinano would be a welcome addition. it did make it out of the dock but was sunk there. Idk if that counts but it would be bad@$$ Sun Sep 20, 2009 5:44 am SpitValve17   Joined: 09 Aug 2009 Posts: 35 Post subject: I Like all your ideas for new ships, and agree that for game play purposes, the sister of GZ would most certainly be a welcome addition. But I think comparing it to the Arizona is a bit of a stretch. For starters, the Arizona was built...and had combat experience as you said yourself. Like I said, I agree with you, but I think you just opened the flood gates... _________________ " WaS: 64/64    TF: 60/60   FS: 35/40 Sun Sep 20, 2009 11:00 pm woodgateski  F*** all these guntoting hip gangster wannabes Joined: 20 Sep 2009 Posts: 443 Post subject: whoops, sorry my bad, when i was putting the Peter Strasser  in the same context as the Arizona, I was fed information that the PS was sunk before it was put out to sea. THAT would have put them on the "same" field where which they both had WWII combat experience triying to prevent their own deaths. Sorry for the mistake there.

I for one--anyone else been with me on this?--have been leaning on RB to consider Sumner/Gearing (Laffey) or Benson/Gleaves classes (once we get one) as alternates for the US Reprint Destroyer slot. And RB told me if Trento/Trieste happen they'll be whole new sculpts, way back in the days when Set 2 was first confirmed to have reprints IIRC. _________________ <><><><><><><><><><><><><><><> Frickin' cookie crap...

Enemy Below     You need a fletcher class, theres no way they wouldnt have one. Thats a pretty good list but I would rather have the USS Texas instead of the West Virginia. The Texas served in both WW1 and WW2 in both theaters, in her entire time in service lost only one sailor to enemy action (helmsman on duty, Christen Christensen killed by shrapnel from a German 240 mm shell), and the Texas still exists to this day making her one of the oldest original ships in the world at almost 100 years old. As for the germans how about the auxilary cruisers I mean one sunk the HMAS Sydney, Give it an SA that can make it a Neutral Merchantman and force the attacking ship back to the deploymant zone because of a formal inqury into the attack (just a though). That or give the Germans seaplanes and seaplane tenders  (one of the tenders had a catapult) Just my two cents worth. _________________ And the Lord said whom will I send and who will go for me?
