The PERFECT WAR Mod

[DOCUP]

HAHAHA I'm a trend setter.[8|]

[John 3rd]

I am useless right now. Am trying to resolve a life issue next Tuesday night and then should be able to get things going again. Don't know how FatR is doing but life in La Salle (us vs. the town) has been interesting.

[DOCUP]

I'm sorry to hear your having problems John 3rd.  I hope things get better for you.

[DOCUP]

Any news yet?

[Jo van der Pluym]

How is the progress with this mod?

[btd64]

Hows it going?[:)] Hope all is well. Just went though this thead, looks interesting.
Cheers

Do I need to come up there & set the town coucil straight?

[Rising-Sun]

I havent had a chance to read all this thread and wondering what improvements he/they did. What i am looking for is accurate aircraft plants, reinforcements are moved to homeland instead of frontline so you can transport them and finally can start right after Peal Harbor was hit on the 8th of December. Of course many units would have to be moved around since its another 24 hrs time frame.

[John 3rd]

We're currently working on RA 6.0. I'd like to get back to this but life keeps interfering.

FatR: What do you think here?

[FatR]

As I noted in the latest RA thread, many of my proposals there are based on what I want to apply to the Perfect War, so the work on this mod is definitely not dead. I just thought, that RA 6.0, Full Babes Edition, will be much faster to actually complete, and I needed an attainable mid-term goal to get myself out of the slump. I hope to return to this mod fully after we done there.

[Kitakami]

I, for one, I am happy that this is slowly moving forward. It will be an interesting mod, that is for sure

[MateDow]

Is it safe to assume that this mod will be based on the Babes as well?

Is it safe to assume that this mod will be based on the Babes as well?

Yes, it does. Its naval side is based on Scen 28C. The ground side uses the stock unit structure (base forces instead of many small units), though. As far as I can see - didn't have much interest in ground OOB.

Instead of this being permanently restricted to the West Coast of USA until being withdrawn in early '45, can just 'one' American armoured division be able to be bought out (PP)??

Having played RA into March '45, have you considered increasing allied air production slightly? In this mod, with all the streamlining of Japanese air production, you can get airframes almost a year ahead of RL production( the M8 Zero comes to mind, sitting here at work). As Allies, you have so many LSI's and LST's you can walk across the pacific if you put them bow to stern. But virtually every air campaign will come to a halt due to a lack of airframes. Fighter pools are very tight, so are heavy bomber pools, and light bomber pools will dry up. Reducing Landing Ship inventories and increasing airframe production would seem an intelligent trade off. Real Life production was drawn down due to the fact that the Japanese economy, and by association it's war machine, was noticeably being impacted by early '44. Air superiority had been achieved. That is not the case here, where the Japanese war machine can sustain itself with "banked" industry far beyond historical norms.

Just an opinion.


<edit>

Dang, I thought I was in the RA post. Having IT issues at work, took 3 tries to even upload this

[John 3rd]

Those are EXCELLENT observations. Can you Post more specific recommendations over on the RA Thread? I think you have gone farther into the Mod then just about anyone. WELL DONE!

[ny59giants]

Day dreaming here, but how about switching the FM-1 (30/month)& 2 (128/month) Wildcats over to Corsairs?? Those two models are too slow and pretty much useless for Allied players.

One problem in Real History - they wouldn't fit on CVE's.

I can make a HR that doesn't put them on. I'll keep Corsairs on my CV & CVLs and Hellcats on CVEs.

This is a simulation, so lots of things are not historical.

Nice work, and addictive theories [:D]
