Lieuie Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 (edited) Plans yes but what will come of it remains to be seen. It's been more than a year and we haven't heard anything new. Still I am hopeful. Edited June 2, 2022 by Lieuie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danythunder14 Posted November 23, 2023 Share Posted November 23, 2023 It's a shame this year we haven't seen an update or new image of the Japanese Assets pack or Essex class aircraft carrier. 1 Wishlist : SBD Dauntless, F9F Panther, F6F Hellcat, TBF Avenger, USS Enterprise CV-6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navyBtown Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 (edited) I was just talking about this with the group I'm part of. The last time there was any update on Assets and the Essex class aircraft carrier was back in 2022 on their Facebook page. I think I remember hearing about a light carrier that was also in the works but that was a while ago.

AG-51_Razor Posted November 24, 2023 Share Posted November 24, 2023 I seem to recall my Dad telling me that the deck edge lights that define the landing area were what he called, "dustpan lights" which could only be seen from astern.

upyr1 Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 It looks like we're getting more ships acording to the 2024 trailer, anyone have ideas on what all is lined up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peq Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 IIRC Essex class carrier, Yorktown class (Enterprise with Measure 32/4Ab), Mogami class cruiser and Liberty Ship. I could be wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I tried to use it as a merchant type stand in for a Victory ship - did I get an unpleasant surprise ) Have you tried placing three Samuel Chase's in a line about 4000' apart, in-trail, going about 12 knots, on the Marianas map, and then have about 6 flights of 4 Fw190's with "Zero" skins attack from high-level with 250kg bombs? They make diving attacks. Maybe a Fletcher-class mod destroyer (or 2) a mile to port, on a parallel course. And then man the 5" gun on the center ship and try to shoot some of them down? It creates quite a show. Unfortunately, when you man a gun on the Chase (the only ship on which you can man a gun), AI does not operate any of the other guns on that ship. That's why you need the other ships nearby. And in the middle of that, add a few Ju-88's with "Betty Bomber" skins to make low-level torpedo attacks. You'll have a Pacific theater airshow. There's a mod ship of the USS Pensacola heavy cruiser. If you add that, it helps a bit with anti-aircraft fire...or an Iowa battleship. But not all guns fire on those. We need Fletcher-class and Sumner-class destroyers and Cleveland-class and Oakland-class light cruisers in DCS. Where we can man one of the Mk37 directors to aim the ship's battery of 5-inch guns or Mk51 directors to aim one or more 40mm twin or quad mounts...and yet have the AI continue to operate the guns we don't control.
