Hopefully this week, I'll be talking to Mike Wood over the phone, and hopefully we can do something about setting the scenario starting date in the 1920's (@Mike, my hotmail is down, that is why I haven't emailed you).
So, without further delay, here are some new screens. They are showing off battleships and cruisers, and show graphic changes as time progresses.
First up, the Armored Cruiser Charlotte (ex-North Carolina)
A sister ship, USS Missoula, after being rebuilt in 1926.
The Protected Cruiser Chester. A small cruiser, useful as a destroyer leader.
The First Class Cruiser St. Louis. While in WW2 terms a light cruiser, under the 1920 designation system she is classed as a CA.
The First of the "Capital Cruisers", USS Lexington.
The L class submarine L-11. The L class served in US, British, and Russian Navies (American Built sub).
The First of the V boats, The V-1. (Better known as USS Barracuda)
Now, the first working pre-dreadnought in WPO, the Vermont class Kansas.
Compare the South Dakotas after some modernizing (Note, 4 of the 6 SDs will arrive in the configuration of the second example).
The South Dakota in her as built fit, without catapault.
The Indiana after modernizing in 1928. Note catapaults and 5"/25 Mk 10 AA guns.
The Nevada as built in 1916, and little modified at the start of War Plan Orange.
The Oklahoma after modernization. Note catapaults and 5"/25 guns. Also note relatively uncluttered look, compared to the 1941 Pearl Harbor fit.
The Texas after rebuilding in 1927. Again, note tripods and other goodies. Compare to earlier pics of her in my previous updates.
The Wyoming after rebuilding. Again, compare to previous shots in previous updates.
The Beloved Utah, after 1927 modernization. The near-sister Delawares are modernized to a similar design. Note 5"/25s and catapault on Q turret.
Well, that's all for now. As you can see, lots of work being done. Enjoy!.
OK, more screenshots. Gunboats! Can you say Sand Pebbles.
The Ashevilles (at Manila in Scenario 15) are present, but are considerable different from their normal Witp appearance. They are also the only US made seagoing gunboats (barring the PG-CL Denver class)
The Elcano (Incorrectly spelled Eclano in Jane's Fighting Ships) is an old Gunboat captured during the Spanish American War. She is based out of Manila.
Looking similar to the Elcano, this class (Small Gunboat) represents a myriad of 3pdr armed US gunboats. The same graphic also represents a myriad of 3pdr armed Phillippine owned gunboats (US have 4 3pdrs, PI have 3 3pdrs)
And the most famous gunboat, the Panay. The Panay, Wake, and Luzon classes of River gunboats are all represented, though they do not arrive until 1926.
