IJN-25

Post by ohnothimagain »

I am new to the forum and new to UNCOMMON VALOR ( what a great game ) so my question is to the UV vets and WW2 PACIFIC THEATRE historians, does the game have the ability to "read" communications between Japan and its forces? The ability to read Japan's communications aided immensely in the Allies victory in the Pacifis Theatre of Operations, the Battle of Midway is a great example. As a side matter, sure would be great to watch the carrier battles screen and listen in on the dog fights, followed by the carriers being attacked and hearing the famous line " SCRATCH ONE FLAT TOP". Adds to the realism.

The simple answer is "No." As for the audio enhancements, I don't think it's in the cards.
Put my faith in the people
And the people let me down.
So, I turned the other way,
And I carry on anyhow.

However that type of information will be part of UV's big brother, WiTP which should be out later this year.

There is also word that enhancements on the UV platform that are applied to WitP will be retrofitted to UV in another patch.

US can not read orders per se...But it does have coastwatchers which do give info and the IJN player can not stop it...

political and strategic mistakes live forever". The authors were refering to Japan but the same could be said of the US misadventure in Iraq
