Introducing TASK FORCE ADMIRAL Vol.1: American Carrier Battles

[The_Admiral]

Hey Daestrex,

sorry gotta go to bed on this side of the world  :hide:
But don't force them 10 pages of updates on yourself - if you want a good start have a look at the piece we had with Tim Stone over at RPS, it should help with a lot of the questions you asked.

After that you can have a look at Magz' video on our stuff here

I'll be back for those questions these two affairs didn't answer thoroughly already  O0

Cheers

Very interesting interview in RPS. I am impressed with the level of 3D damage/simulation models. A sweet feature in the game could be some kind of AAR or "battleground forensics" where all damage to ships are displayed and what those hits lead to and what was the deciding factor that sunk the ship.

Just read the RPS article.  Nothing not to like in there.  I think including a scenario editor is absolutely key to mitigating any huff about "only" ~30 scenarios.  With an editor the potential is really infinite.

Artsy time for those of you who would be men of taste in the audience 

I always thought them Vals looked better in green 

[Sir Slash]

Nice looking Val!  O0

[Gusington]

The Val was my favorite in Battlehawks 1942 on the Amiga ❤️

I also always loved the Stuka and the Bf110 - I have a thing for dive bombers and big nasty slow planes with heavy armor and cannon.

The Japanese, like the Russians, make some beautiful airplanes for sure.

I've been in a real WWII funk recently, but I have to say Mr. The_Admiral (or is that sir to me?) all these teasers and your game in general is really pulling me back! The more we see of this game the more I want it. It seriously looks fantastic!

[Gusington]

^That's Sir to you er uh...Sir [technically you are a Sir to me, if you are indeed a CPT in real life...I will take you at your word].

[IICptMillerII]

Ha fair enough!

No, I'm not actually a captain, so no need to 'Sir' me. The name is a childhood holdover that I decided to stick with for nostalgia purposes. Consider it a ceremonial title haha.

[Gusington]

WHAT??

Fine.

You can call me Sir, then.

[Sir Slash]

"Sir Gus". Kind of sounds like, 'Circus' doesn't it? Appropriate?  ::)

[Gusington]

Depends...

[The_Admiral]

Hello there boys!

Hope you're all doing fine.
Here's an update with the contents from the last few weeks, before we end up compiling the mandatory dev update some time soon, hopefully.

Unfortunately I didn't put all this on Youtube just yet - I will make a full video later. In the meantime please enjoy our Thach-Weave based shenanigans with the AI by clicking on the following thumbnails (and please tell me if that goddam thing works at all...)

Thanks! ^^





Cheers! And have a fine weekend boys!
