Here we are again Pacific fans. Time has gone quickly dont you agree? It feels like yesterday that we announced the Mod and our long dream became a reality. The Merge with Hypergames2k8 followed and Pacific Thunder steamrolled forwards with new models exported and factions created.
Anyway, back to the Press Release. This time we feature the Crewed Weapons of the Imperial Japanese Army, first off I will show you the Type 92 Heavy Machine Gun.

Secondly, after careful consideration. We decided that the Relic mortar is a lot more like a Japanese mortar than what we actually moddeled. So after a small Jungle Re-texture. Here is the Japanese Type 94 90mm Mortar.


And now for the biggest news that we have been dying to show you all week. Even though the maps are still a bit messed up and the Textures arent up-to-grade yet, we are happy to show you the First textured model of a Pacific Thunder model working in-game.



We also have some more Imported models so if you take a look at the Images section over the coming week. We will be sure to update it with all the new model. Well, we here at Hypergames hope you have enjoyed this small but important update to show the progress of Pacific Thunder.
We would also like to take this oppurtunity to congratulate and welcome members of our team.
Sonnhalter has now been designated Head Moddeler. And we have extremely luckily gotten hold of the amazing skills and talent of Uccido.
We look forward to showing off more and more models over the coming weeks.

Well they'd be on the same team, Japan was part of the Axis. How come you guys can't do that? Do the same thing the Eastern Fronts mod is doing. They allow it so players can choose to play as any original faction and the Red Army. There's no point if this mod will only let us play as Japan
until recently it wasnt possible to have extra factions, it was only when eastern front managed to contact relic about restoring the ability to unlock races to avoid illegal file editing for it to be accessible. this happened in version 2.601
If your not going to make us able to play as the original factions then what's the point to this mod? No offense but it sounds like if we download this, we will only get to play as the Japanese. Why can't you guys make it so we can play as the original factions also
the point is that Panzer elite wont be fighting Japs and Japs wont be fighting in France :/ Anyway the Marines will be almost the same as they were in vcoh
actually there is the US Marines. The US Marines and the Japanese are available in this mod
This is really cool i love it. But just one question. Are you going to make this like the Eastern Front mod where you don't change or replace all the other factions in the game and make the new units balanced like the vanilla units so you can play against the vanilla factions?
EDIT: Sorry just one more question. Is this compatible with Eastern Front?
No, this is a Total Conversion mod, meaning that the US army, the Wehrmacht, the Panzer Elite and the British army will not be available to play as.
We are hopefully going to expand on the Pacific Thunder feature list during and after release through patches. Which could possibly mean new Armies/Abilities for each faction.
Also, Eastern Front is its own mod. This mod is in no way compatible with Eastern Front. :) hope this answers some of your questions
Ah, well nvm i can still play as soviets and japs, but just not at the same time :)
guys wikipedia has some list of the IJN weapons during WW2 it also contains the types of katanas wield by the japanese officer..
hi guys im from the philippines and i just read about some of the infos regarding ds mod..well its veri nice to see these kind of things, i really wanted to play COH in the pacific mode, because im an asian..anyway i hope i could contribute some help in making ds project or some infos about the pacific setting in ww2.maybe i would like to suggest something about the IJN army..the japs are really good in guerrilla like warfare based on my research and at the movies, they are good in ambushes screaming banzai war cry charging der pointed arisaka bayonet or katanas at der foe..maybe its good to emphasize the melee combat aspect ds time..im not sure if ds will be possible to do it..how about putting up tunnel networks to allow the japs to access quickly to der occupied territories…and deploying snipers at trees, some pit traps wd MG emplacement covered by leaves and so on, also how about allowing the japs to place booby traps to pinned down foes to the ground and strike dem wd banzai charge..and one more the japs don’t have the best tanks compare to german counterpart during WW2 right? Maybe we should add some of der standards like the Chi-ha I think or the others similar to the stuart light tanks,but more anti tank capabilities for the IJN how about that? Haha I really cant wait for the next post guys..i was just so excited to see the progress..hehe sori for my English anyway, not my primary language :D
