naval warfare

[gokusiya]

I suggest
having ships,submarines it will be very good, ships armed with missiles and canons.submarines would be able to sink
ships using torpedos .posting.php?mode=post&f=30#ships could use sonar to detect them. Ships like aircraft carriers could provide a mobile airbase.

Ships are planned for 3.2+.

And much more ..

Oh and I was wondering about the body which you can access when you enter debug-mode
So now a reason to create some sea-maps as well, just pre-designs, guess there will come a
change fore costal region too... thx 4 confirmation .

If ships & submarines, what happens to the hovercraft ?
An Idee is to lett the hovercraft only work on shallow water, and the ships works on all type of water.
So in the map have 2 types of water.
A island, surrounded with deep water, can only bee reach by plane or by boat (but the boats can only reach as close as the shore). To make this happen, I think some type of transport ship will be necessary so it will be possible to transport tanks and engineering's troops. Or the use of Hovercraft and Cyborgs engineers must bee used. Can give a total new side to the game ?

I LIKE your idea

A counter-suggestion - simply make Boat propulsion roughly as tough as Tracks, but not as slow. That way, true naval units will be the masters of their own domain (but bound to it), while hover units are still the high-speed amphibious strikers we know and love.

I think we'd need a special shipyard factory so boats can be actually built in water and not on land, though. I'm not entirely sure how this would work.

[C27]

Would it be possible to have some combination of these?
(a) have a shipyard that can only be built on water
(b) have the shipyard building, when constructed, create a water channel in front of or inside itself somehow
(c) allow the building/digging of water-filled canals with trucks, to connect shipyards to water or bits of water together (I seem to recall that buildable bridges are planned, this is something of a similar scale and effect)
(d) the shipyard has a crane or roller of some sort that picks up constructed boats and puts them in nearby water

[konpaku]

I'd just like to know how big can a navy unit be

[Shadow Wolf TJC]

Personally, I believe that they could be as small as a speedboat, or even smaller than a person if we're willing to include unmanned vehicles.

Where have you read that?

Sorry, can't a human misunderstand something?
I misunderstand myself...
Anyway, they are planned. Use the cheat "give all" and check the propulsions. The naval isn't finished, but it isn't being worked on right now.

[Iluvalar]

it's not. The naval propulsion is there since a long time ago. There is nothing new there.

My patch that would allow normal factory to produce naval unit in water was rejected. Nothing else soon could happen.
