I would love to see quite a number of ships, artillery, and several aircraft in the game, that through searching I havent found here:
Fuso/Yamashiro class BB
Montana class BB (would be great for a what if/longer war campaign/mission)
possible working mortars? the game already as mortar teams as objects...
the Schwerer Gustav rail gun....maye not as an artillery piece but would make an awesome object for a target
the Hughes H-4 Hercules (Spruce Goose)....would make an excellent target or plane to escort
Bv-238 flying boat
XB-35 flying wing....good target for fighters or to escort to target
Coastal batteries.....give something for the ships to shoot at that will shoot back
Type 5 Chi Ri (Japanese heavy tank)
T28/95 Super heavy tank
T-29 Super Heavy Tank....would be nice for some good heavy American tanks to go toe to toe with the King Tiger and Maus

This would certainly make for an awesome artillery piece or as a good strike target
and some history on both guns:
Schwerer GustavIn February 1942, Heavy Artillery Unit (E) 672 reorganized and went on the march, and Schwerer Gustav began its long ride to the Crimea. The train carrying the gun was of 25 cars, a total length of 1.5 kilometers. The gun reached the Perekop Isthmus in early March 1942, where it was held until early April. A special railway spur line was built to the Simferopol-Sevastopol railway 16 kilometers (9.9 mi) north of the target, at the end of which four semi-circular tracks were built specially for the Gustav to traverse. Outer tracks were required for the cranes which assembled Gustav.

The siege of Sevastopol was the gun's first combat test. Installation began in early May, and by 5 June the gun was ready to fire. The following targets were engaged:

5 June
Coastal guns at a range of 25,000 m. Eight shells fired.
Fort Stalin. Six shells fired.
6 June
Fort Molotov. Seven shells fired.
"White Cliff" aka "Ammunition Mountain": an undersea ammunition magazine in Severnaya ("Northern") Bay. The magazine was sited 30 meters under the sea with at least 10 meters of concrete protection. After nine shells were fired, the magazine was ruined and one of the boats in the bay sunk.[4]
7 June
Firing in support of an infantry attack on Sudwestspitze, an outlying fortification. Seven shells fired.
11 June
Fort Siberia. Five shells fired.
17 June
Fort Maxim Gorki and its coastal battery. Five shells fired.
By the end of the siege on 4 July the city of Sevastopol lay in ruins, and 30,000 tons of artillery ammunition had been fired. Gustav had fired 48 rounds and worn out its original barrel, which had already fired around 250 rounds during testing and development. The gun was fitted with the spare barrel and the original was sent back to Krupp's factory in Essen for relining.

The gun was then dismantled and moved to the northern part of the eastern front, where an attack was planned on Leningrad. The gun was placed 30 km from the city near the railway station of Taizy. The gun was fully operational when the attack was cancelled. The gun then spent the winter of 1942/43 near Leningrad.

The gun appears to have been destroyed to prevent its capture some time before 22 April 1945, when its ruins were discovered in a forest 15 kilometers (9.3 mi) north of Auerbach about 50 kilometers (31 mi) southwest of Chemnitz.

[edit] Dora
Model of the DoraDora was the second gun to be produced. It was deployed briefly against Stalingrad, where the gun arrived at its emplacement 15 kilometers (9.3 mi) to the west of the city sometime in mid-August 1942. It was ready to fire on 13 September. It was quickly withdrawn when Soviet encirclement threatened. When the Germans began their long retreat they took Dora with them. Dora was broken up before the end of the war, being discovered in the west by American troops some time after the discovery of Schwerer Gustav.

[edit] Langer GustavThe Langer Gustav was a long cannon with 52 centimeter caliber and a 43 meter barrel. It was intended to fire super-long-range rocket projectiles weighing 680 kilograms to a range of 190 kilometers. This gave it the range to hit London. It was never completed after being damaged during construction by one of the many RAF bombing raids on Essen.

I would like to add more pictures, but I am unfortunately out of time anyways, hope to see some new stuff soon!

[SAS~Malone]

lol, if you run out of time making the requests, imagine how most modders will feel looking at this list.
seriously, though, there's nothing really wrong with your requests - well presented, and decent enough. however, the problem with this kind of 'list' request is that no-one can see 'at a glance' what is requested, so it easily causes duplicate requests when no-one finds these in a search, and simply requests them again.
which is why we prefer individual mod requests, as opposed to lists.
anyway, your call, but i can guarantee you'll have more luck seeing some of these done if they were made as individual requests.
if i'm not mistaken, some of these are already requested, so please make sure that is not the case.
duplicate requests are pointless, and will likely be removed.

[Phoenix9491]

I did some quick searches, and on a couple found some mentioning in threads that hadnt been active in quite some time, I will, however, do a more thourough search and indvidualize

[Blazing]

wasn't the fuso done already?

[Phoenix9491]

I saw the fuso mentioned several times as a ship that would like to be built or supposedly in the works, but those threads hadnt seen any activity in quite a long time, only Japanese BBs i know of that have been done already are the Yamato and Nagato.....oh and Kirishima

[SAS~Malone]

rather just bump up an old thread by posting a question in it, than starting a whole new thread.
just because a thread is old and inactive is no reason to start a new thread.
it leads to confusion, and eventually, 2 old threads of the same thing, if you see my point.
the whole point of this section is to avoid redundancy and duplicates, and have things in a cohesive, structured manner, easy to find.

[Phoenix9491]

Ok, I do apologize, if you could remove this topic, please, I shall bump/individualize

[Oscarito]

Maybe the "Flying Wing" could be kept...
(Since it was not already requested)

[Phoenix9491]

I will individualize it for sure, would love to see either one in game

[SAS~Malone]

to make things easier, you could go ahead and start organising individual posts, and once you are ready to post them, just let me know, then i can simply remove this thread.

[Phoenix9491]

Ok thanks
