Need WW2 Help for scenario!

[aaglo]

Would this kind of unit be useful in this mod? I was about trying to make animations for this. Would you have any use for it?

 

[aaglo]

Since I don't have civ3 in this pc, could someone test if the blue colours in this file work as the civ colours, please?

Yes, the bules are civcolors as they are in the proper palette spots. You don't need civ3 to test it, flicster works just fine to do so on its own.

 

[aaglo]

But flicster gets the civ-colours from the civ3-folders, so the colour changing does not work. So the blue won't change at all.

 

[pdescobar]

Huh? I don't understand what you are saying. All that matters is the palette position, not the actual color. Your FLC could have uniform shades of puke green as the first 70 palette spots and in-game they would become varying shades of the appropriate civ color. Trust me, I've tried it.

 

[aaglo]

I was just saying, that the graphic tools in this pc are so poor, that I have no idea of the colours palette positionings .

I just copied these pics on top of one working animation

And oh yes, I trust you

[edit]: the complete animations are now available at the units -forum.

I'm not sure, some WW2 weapons expert help me out here. That is a mobile SAM thing right?

 

[Procifica]

They didn't have SAM's in WWII.

Though, the Russians did use a mobile rocket launcher, which looked a little like that. (fired up to 16 rockets at once, I forget its name, begins with a K)

Katyusha. I am not 100% sure of the spelling though.

Very impressive in news movies of the period and great on a mobile front but I am afraid aaglo's unit looks too modern for it.

Edit : I have found this one that lloks great for the period :

Again, I will probably be staying away from adding extra units to this mod but maybe I will make another one later with extra units. Right now I have enough stuff to do on the scenario without the extra units.

Thanks pap, I put the WRONG YEAR up there! I meant to say, August, 1940!

From The Wizard War: WW2 & The Origins Of Radar
While work on radar continued in Britain, tensions with Hitler's Germany were increasing. The Munich Crisis of September 1938 made it clear that war was coming soon, and work on the Chain Home network accelerated. By the spring of 1939, there were 20 stations in operation, providing a mostly unbroken electronic barrier from Ventnor near Portsmouth in the south, to Netherbutton in the Orkneys to the north.

There were more primitive forms of radar used during teh Battle of Britain also.

It was advancing quickly. Microwave radar played a crucial role in winning the war.

In 1940, the priority was S-band AI for nightfighters.

It was clear that developing "centimetric" radar systems would take time, money, and engineering resources, and Britain was desperately short of all three. Churchill knew that Britain needed American scientific, engineering, and manufacturing resources to win the war. He decided to unconditionally share the cavity magnetron and other British technical secrets with the US to ensure rapid development and deployment of the new technology.

Sir Henry Tizard had been promoting a meeting between British and American scientists, his contacts across the Atlantic having told him that there were many American scientists who really wanted to help defeat Hitler. At the beginning of August 1940, Churchill authorized Tizard to form a team to take Britain's most promising new technologies and demonstrate them to the Americans.

Another source said Britain agreed to share their microwave technology with the Americans in exchange for mass produced copies which is what they did with the Merlin engine aswell. The Americans didn't deliver - possibly because of the sudden outbreak of war in the Pacific.

Had the Japanese not attacked, the influx of spare parts and superior technologies would have overwhelmed Germany in 1941 but Britain had to soldier on with limited resources for a while longer.

The Army Air Corps were in awe of British radar systems and pressing for American companies to clone British gear, but that's not really fair because by 1941 the longwave radar systems of both countries were fairly equal. Awe was probably caused by success in the Battle of Britain combined with rumours of a future-technology radar.

---

The old radar system of 1930's allowed British stations to pick up sorties and scramble interceptors but they required high visibility to locate their target, which is why Germany swapped to night-time bombing. The new radar system of 1940 would allow air superiority fighters to locate incoming sorties regardless of visibility.

Even toward the end of the war, Gemany refused to accept the allies could possibly have such a technology.

 

[Yurt]

Thanks for the info! So do you think America should have any radar in the game, or would the game's radar be too advanced for what they had in 1941?

 

[Procifica]

I wouldn't give America radar personally, only the British really used it in 1941 to any extent, and their technology in that area was more advanced.

 

[Yurt]

That's what I was thinking. The Civ 3 radar would represent a relatively advanced radar system, which America still wouldn't have had.

Here are some more cities sizes:
Please comment on these ones if you know about China because I sure don't, they're just based on rough estimates and modern populations.

CHINA (China total: 112) (Japan total: 73) (total: 197)
Shanghai (JPN) 24
Beijing (JPN) 22
Nanjing (JPN) 10
Qingdao (JPN) 7
Hainan (JPN) 5
Taipei (JPN) 5

Chaozhou 6

Ulaanbataar (N) 3

 

[Procifica]

Wuhan is not on the list? (unless you have a different spelling for it) This was a very important Japanese controlled city (near Nanking and Shanghai).

Shanghai and Beijing should both be somewhat smaller, other than that, I have to look the rest up.

Fuzhou, Hangzhou, and Louyang also should be a little smaller. Hong Kong considerably smaller.

 

[Yurt]

The reason I didn't have Wuhan was another map problem, but I fixed that so it is now in.
