In fact, the Hellcat would be a better suggestion. What does that leave the French with, though? I think they used Seafire F. IIIs, but the UK would probably already have a Seafire F. XV as their naval fighter... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seafire seems reasonable and we'll take that into consideration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As suggested before, I think the Seafire F. XV would be the best choice - both aesthetically and functionally. If we ever do get that aircraft, I think this would be a great camouflage to follow (preferably without the serial number and the K): Spoiler That is in fact the only airworthy example of the XV remaining. I would also think that the F6F is the best choice for the USN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using broadside guns as broadside guns also makes it look a lot better and can give more firepower (you don't have one gun pointing into the back of another, so all will fire.)

Thingymajigy Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 For a suggestion, I was thinking the 12 inch gun from the Alaska class, to maybe bridge the gap between some of the other stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acea Posted April 1, 2016 Author Share Posted April 1, 2016 (edited) Log: It's time to look forward and we're heading towards modern warfare. WW2 naval battles are exciting, but they are historical and what we want to see is a totally new way to engage enemies in the ocean. So in the next version, 0.4.1 "Combined Action", we'll do something significant and modernized to change this pack forever.
