Tides of War

Future suggestions

Smoke screen generators for surface ships

More heavies (BB's, CA etc.)

Ability to launch airplanes from heavies

To be able under water looking up at ship

Water reflections

Better Fire controllers for guns

Squadron formation control

Ability to set priority targets for ships in the squadron

Good suggestions (for the most part) but at this point i really dont think that heavies would fit into the game that well. The bbs in the game right now are way out of proportion to the rest of the ships in the way of firepower and armor. If the tesseraction crew could make a better damage model and make make the torps more effective than maybe the bbs an cas would fit. As of now I would suggest adding some of the light cruser classes.

I really like the idea of formations. Just think of leading a group of dds on a torp run against an ususpecting group of enemy ships, if you know how to use them torps can be deadly at ranges of greater than several thousand meters. with great numbers of them speeding at the enemy...HAVOC runs amok in the survivers allowing you and your pals to slaughter them with concentrated fire and more torps.

The description for the LFN sub says it can launch an airplane from the deck. Perhaps in MP you will be able to choose a configuration with a plane and less torps. Similar could happen with other ships/subs.

Smoke screen sounds like a good bonus for a captain who makes a lot of kills. (Speacial ability)

Smoke screens are a great idea, all ships of this period could lay down smoke.

some good suggestions but i think before heavier ships come into play the visible distance really needs to be increased - getting shot by something that you cant see (or can see you) is unrealistic and spoils it a bit

actually its not the ranges of the big gun ship were miles not yards, and they were tageting using radar.

I'm partial to the smoke screen........I use to play Steel Tide and you could put down smoke screens to help get away. Great idea

It's good to see that good ideas don't die quickly. I remember suggesting smokescreen generators for the DDs and DEs sometime last year. Keep focusing attention on it, Guys

Well its something that could be done by all ships of the period so I dont see why its an idea that should die

Only problem with it is that your guns are normally AI controlled. Would smoke screens cause your guns not to shoot anyone within the smoke screen or would it just be eye candy?

It would be a good addition in my opinion but I don't know what others will say about having to manually shoot the guns to hit someone in smoke.
