Guctons Dream Scenario Mod
Posted: Tue Dec 21, 2010 8:46 am
We have given a christmas Break to my PBEMs and I used spare time to design a humble Mod which can be considered christmas wish list for Imperial japan. It can be considered in line with RA. But my design cannot be compared in no way with RA and any other time spend, research spend mod. I just added my best wishes to Imperial Japan. The mod is based on stock Scen 2.
I addes planes from RA and WNT mods.
My biggest change is in the form of converting all Yamato class BBs to Shinano Class CVs. I increased Aircraft capacity considerably.
Other noticible changes are
1)Changing conversion time tables for ISE class BBs. They can be converted to half CVs much sooner.
2)Changing some planes arrival date considerably shorter.
3)Adding CVE conversion tables for one merchant class.
4)Adding Fake CVE conversion tables for one merchant class.
5)Creating very few AMC AA cruisers for what if idea
6)Creating one AMC conversion for shore bombarding
7)Adding more I-400 class submarine and shortining their arrival dates.
8)Added two BC in the name of CB using left over Turrets from ISE conversion but using 3 Turrets focusing on their AA performance.
9)deleting Jack instead fastining arrival of A7M3 Sam.
10)Added H8 Emily bomber version only using bomb load.
11)added G5 and G8 Bombers from respective RA and WNT mods.
12)Some Important planes get their arrival day shortened.
13) The only very ahistorical change was to change Dinahs 37mm cannon to twin 20 mm cannons. I realy wonder how will they fare in this form.
My historical arguments are
Yamamoto and some clever full stars decided it is an all out war way before Midway disaster. They focused on some clever shortcut strategies to fully take advantage of their initial position.
The decisive battle concept is dropped. now the focus is carrier Battles and supporting Carrier groups as much as possible.
Mobility and on the spot force projection is more important. Still Like the old Shinano concept The main battle line will consist of Shinano Class CVs They will try to lure Enemy focus on them leaving weaker CV in the background.
The fake CVE concept is much like what japan tried at Philippines defence operations. At some point they will be used as a bait. Or inside Carrier group to dissipate enemy air assult focus.
Historically Far east's art of war depend on deception. I just wanted to add some flavor to deception abilities of Japan.
I-400 are very important if succesfull it will force Allies to leave picket Fighter units in the backstage. Diverting its resorces. A succesfull I-400 attack can be very nasty for allied morale.
Secondary AMC conversion are for mopping up operations. The idea is to solve problematic mopping up operations after Japan focus moves other places other then DEI.
I have not changed any economy or factory settings. I belive in stock form it is better. It will give any player to choose it focus of plane production and naval production. Still to procude everyting you will have to spend some on Naval shipyard capacity. or else cancel some other stuff.
