Some new screenshots to calm your appetites.


Image
The 12h Observation Squadron reinforcement page, equipped with the De Havilland DH-4B, a single seat version of the DH-4.

EDIT: I'll probably change to level bomber. It is an observation style plane, but it should still be able to attack land/sea targets.

Image
The Curtiss A-3 Falcon, the only purpose built attack plane in War Plan Orange. Armed with 8 24lb bombs, some sources state 2 100lb. I may adjust this before release.

Image
One of VF-2 "Big Apes" Fighter sections, equipped with the FU-1 Battleship Fighter. This plane can be carried on a battleship in lieu of its VO Squadron, and provide mobile CAP for a surface fleet. 6 sections arrive in game, totalling 18 aircraft.

Image
The USS S-1. The S-1 was modified to carry seaplanes, and while never used in wartime, I have allowed it for WPO. The plane:

Image
The Martin MS-1, was a purpose built seaplane for the experiments. Only 6 were ever built, and the plane looks like more of a racer than a scout.

Image
The Armstrong Whitworth Siskin. Britain, Canada, and Australia all use the Sopwith Camel (only the Brit version is allowed to land on carriers). The British version upgrades to the Grebe Mk I, the Australian to the Grebe Mk II, and the Canadian to the Siskin. The Siskin, in addition to being a fighter, formed an acrobatic unit of the RCAF in the '20s and '30s, not all unlike the USN's Angels.

Image
Since many wanted to see it, here is French Indo China at the start of the game. Quite different from World War II eh?

I answered this somewhere before (FAQ perhaps?), but I'll repost it.

There is no French Flag in the game. There are also no French HQs. When creating French HQs, they default to the American Flag, and then the French HQs tend to screw up the AI. It is quicker, simpler, and beneficial for the AI if I put Indo China under Southeast Asia Command, both in that the British flag is closer, and the AI just assumes its borders have been extended, and will play normally.

In theory we could create French Commands and flags and such, but this would take Mike quite a bit of time, and I would rather his time on WPO be on things it needs to suceed, not on making it where new flags will display.
