Well ... for what it is worth, here are my opinions regarding ship requests ...
As much as I love ships of the Kriegsmarine ... (Look at my screen name :wink: ) I would rather have ships that were extensively involved in air operations. We already have a model for the Tirpitz, the sister ship of Bismarck, and these were the only two major German surface ships sunk or helped sunk by aircraft. Alot more happened in the Mediterranean Theater.
If we have to have Europe ships, I would rather see Italian Battleships and Cruisers. There were several MAJOR convoy battles in the Med and I believe they involved either British Carriers or CVE's. There were also several Italian Battleships sunk in Toronto harbor by Swordfish from a British CV in 1940.
But even then, MUCH more happened in the Pacific in regards to anit-shipping missions. I think we need a Kongo and Yamato class Battleship moddels before anything else. There were two ships of the Kongo class sunk by American aircraft as both Musashi and Yamato were sunk by American planes as well. This does not get into Japanese cruisers sunk by USA planes from Henderson Field from Guadalcanal. I would also like to see ACCURATE American battleship moddels for the Pearl Harbor Attack ... always been a big pet peeve of mine.
Anyway, I feel the Pacific Theater in this game needs WAY more attention than Europe or even Mediterranean. The number of ship models we have for the PTO is so pathetic it is offensive ... I am sorry but pretending that a King George V class battleship is the IJN Yamato just doesn't do it for me. Same thing for Pearl Harbor ... Pretending that the King George V class battleship represents 4 different classes of American battleships is just ludicrous.
To me it is the same as saying, "Just us the Bf-110 in place of a Ki-45, they're close enough."
... I would rather have PTO ships ... just my opinion ...
