A Violent Peace, 1946-Now

[Lionic]

Yes I know, it was not a request but rather a fun fact.

 

[Delta_Strife]

No worries but your question made me think I better offer a reason in case people did want them.

 

[Ozymandias]

With Japan, Australia, and the US de facto allied with Taiwan, and (a) China having no experience operating a blue water navy (b) China is an absolute mess internally, and the Chinese word for both their "aircraft carriers" and militarized atolls being "target practice," ... AND the entire US B1-B inventory being converted to ship killers - I'd give the imbroglio a max of 3 days, although many (and I believe unrealistic) simulations show the US losing one CV.

 

[Thorvald of Lym]

Granted, that carrier might very well be an own goal.

Which one of the three officially acknowledges Taiwan's independence?

 

[Ozymandias]

You might want to check the dates on those articles. Military readiness did not fare well under Trump.

Lithuania (seriously!)

... but the Chinese carrier looks great!

Of course! It's an @Delta_Strife ™ Production! Still -

"In a battle, it would be a very good target for U.S. and Japanese forces, and they would take it down at the very beginning," said Yoji Koda, a retired admiral who had commanded the Japanese fleet.

I will just leave this here:

 

[AnthonyBoscia]

A Ro-ro! You even loaded up the deck with vehicles.

 

[Delta_Strife]

Update: Came across a South Korean submarine and I just had to do it!

 

[Delta_Strife]

Update: Another update related to the Ukrainian war this time I wanted to get ahead on the Black Sea Fleet Ships before mysterious things happened to them so I did all the models I had that related to them. Corvette's and the patrol ship are done using a scale I use for smaller WWI/WWII boats so that we can see more of their details.

 

[Moff Jerjerrod]

Delta, those new additions are absolutely gorgeous. Time to update my units in El Justo's "The Cold War".

 

[Delta_Strife]

Update: New sounds for the modern Russian boats and oh look a Golf Class snuck in there!

 

[Civinator]

My favorite of those updates is the submarine of the Golf Class. It fills an existing gap in the chain of Russian missile carrying submarines.

Delta_Strife, one more time a big thank you very much for all your great work!

 

[Lionic]

Thank you Delta! That is a very important addition.

As always I love the work you do. In my custom scenario I have battleships upgrade into modernized versions -- some civs get a modernized Iowa-class BBG, others get the modernized King George V-class BBG, etc. I was able to find a fictionalized modern Yamato-class BBG with a VLS attack, as well as a Kirov-class "battlecruiser", but both have dated and/or incomplete animations. Is it a possibility to get updated versions of these or other battleships?

 

[Delta_Strife]

Oh anything is possible just depends on what I get inspired by or what has grabbed my current interest. Never say never.

I agree that modernized WWII ships are good units for modern senarios, too. For example these battleships. And for example the Carrier Taiho who has an angled deck in The Man in the High Castle.
