Final countdown scenario, need Nimitz class

I want to create a scenario based on this movie. I was thinking of creating Strike hornets and Prowlers(IRL the ship can base 90 planes, on that day half were supposed to act as agressors and were based on Hawaii or something like that) to be part of the USS Nimitz. But i cant create the Nimitz class since the largest class i can build is the CVB Midway class.

Unfair to the japanese you say? Well, the ship in this scenario will have aircrafts that cant be replaced. And off course, the japanese might get close with a sub and sink the carrier.

Anyone have any ideas how to make a carrier without editing CVB Midway

Sure - go for a Dec 8 start with the KB at the bottom of the ocean

And make it not use fuel.

Well, they couldn't be replaced, at least not immediately but I don't doubt that with the knowledge base on the Nimitz it wouldn't take long for similar aircraft, maybe more primitive but certainly of the equivalent of 1960s Jet technology to show up in the US arsenal. Think about it, all of the technical knowledge of the Nimitz crew, taken in and utilized by the Department of War in 1942. Lets face it, the F86 flew less than six years after Pearl Harbor, with all of the knowledge on that carrier, it would have flown in 1943 and probably would have been closer to an F100 Super Saber.

Was not they sucked back right before strike?

There are two steps in creating ships. First you have to create class, and then you can make ships delivered from that class. So first thing you need to make is to go to Ship Classes, and make there NIMITZ class. Just copy some Allies CV, and modify it.

Good luck in your efforts. I hope you can get it to work. [:)]

Somebody did that for WitP(not)AE.. I will dig around through my saved files (don't ask me how many I have) and see if I can spot something like that!

If i do that i will try to make the game playable even on the japanese side.

1. The ship will be wirthdrawn on Dec 31 1941, if that is not possible then the airgroups will vanish on that date
2. Shooting star avalible in 43.
3. Mustangs with correct engine in late 42(iirc the Mustangs didnt have the range they were renownd for at first before getting a different engine
5. Midwayclass in 43
6. Nukes in 43(the books from Nimitz will shave a bit off the learning curve)
7. Torpedoproblem solved in the begining of 1942
