this is a sequel to the Gizmotron user-mod for Axis and Allies. featuring new types of weather & terrain. new, larger territory maps in skirmish mode. new experience ranks and bonuses (regiments improve up to 2000 exp points). 100+ special ops, new water-based units like cruisers and submarines (with torpedo attacks). nations included are Australia, Belgium, Bulgaria, Brazil, Canada, Communist China, Croatia, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Greece, Hungary, India (Allied), Indian National Army (Axis), Iran, Iraq, Italy, Japan, Mongolia, Nationalist China, Netherlands, New Zealand, Philippines, Poland, Romania, Russia, Slovak Republic (Axis), South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Thailand, Turkey, the United States, Yugsolavia, and the Yugoslav Partisans more nations and territories available for WW2 mode, see images for details.
players will now have three different types of battleships available to them for the US faction.
So what's the difference between them?
they differ in terms of health, defense, and the types of regiments they can deploy. the South Dakota and Iowa have the same primary cannons. the Iowa has as much AA defenses as the other two boats put together.
the Pennsylvania has the weakest attack per cannon and turret, but probably makes up for it by having 25% more guns. it will continue to be the default battleship
the South Dakota will be for fully upgraded armies in WW2 mode. it has 16-inch guns like the Iowa. however, it has lower health, weaker AA defenses, and can't deploy flamethrower or rocket-launcher amphibious tanks.
the Iowa will have to be purchased as a separate Metagame army. it has the most health, AA defenses, and can recruit the largest variety of amphibious regiments.
Fantastic redo of the Naval aspect of the Game, still, being a noob on the site, and a NC native, kills me there is no North Carolina class. I am simply amazed the game could be modded so much.
imo vanilla pennsylvania model is better
that's fine. everybody's entitled to their opinion. all you have to do is delete the new replacement folder and you'll have it back! ;-)
I like the new model-- because it looks more like the real thing AND it doesn't stand out from all of the other new models.
I think the new Pennsylvania model you have is before the refit that occurred later in the war, hence the vanilla model looking different.
i must say that the south dakota looks absolutely awesome
