Russian jet will be the Yakovlev Yak-15 which if I am not mistaken was the first purely jet aircraft the Russians developed.

Japanese jet will be the Nakajima Kikka which I believe is the exact same aircraft.

@Cernel Yah the Italian jet fighter could be either. Since creating an operational unit for the Italians is really an exercise in "alternate time-line" creative license. But since the Caproni Campini was actually built.... I went with that since it is conceivable that if time and energy were put into that project it may have been developed further and been turned into an operational fighter aircraft. Additionally, since there is/was uncertainty as to whether there were ever even real designs for the Reggiane Re.2007... I chose to go with the aircraft that truly existed.

I also used El Alamein as it is very iconic as a WWII historical reference.

@redrum said in Global Dominance:

@hepps Very productive today...

Not so much about productivity. Really just about sharing some more comprehensive snap shots with you. I use the same image of the map and layer all the national units over each other so that I know when all of the units for a particular nation are done. Can be really difficult trying to look at the list in the folders to ensure I am not missing things.

I had to do the same thing with all the: Veteran, Hit, Light Damaged , Moderate Damaged, Heavy Damaged, Disabled and Occupied units.

[Hepps]

But since you inspired me with your enthusiasm... here are the last 2.

[redrum]

@hepps Yeah, Yak-15 is a good choice as well as it was built first though it and the MiG-9 were first test flown the same day (MiG-9 technically went first). And yeah Kikka is just another name for the J9Y.

Sharing is caring

[Hepps]

@redrum Yeah the Mig 9 was the other option... it just looked kinda boring from a visual standpoint. But really it is neither here nor there.

[Hepps]

Sorry forgot the final unit in the line up. The Germans get an additional unit at the end of the Tech chart as a national special unit. The HO-229

[Hepps]

@hepps Given the warm reception all the jet fighters have received, perhaps the time is right to reveal the new rockets.

[Frostion]

All the unit pictures are astonishing quality What is the difference between the two rockets?

[Hepps]

@frostion Yeah, the Rocket images were long over-due for a revamp. Thanks.

First generation... and Second Generation (Advanced). The second gen. rockets have a bigger payload (more damage) and better accuracy.

[Hepps]

Lets see if anyone can find the special unit!

[redrum]

@hepps The big cylinder thing though I don't think I even have a guess to what it is.

[Hepps]

@redrum You guessed it first try. A big cylinder thing.

[Frostion]

Flakturm / FLAK towers !!!

[Cernel]

If one wants to be really very (overly?) detailed, it can be said that the jets with a single engine in the tail and with two engines in the wings should be two different units (like bf109 vs bf110) (but then several units would need to be totally invented).
Never read of those towers before.

[Hepps]

BTW all... just to be clear...the Flak Towers were just for shits and giggles.

[prastle]

@hepps is that Canuck language?

[Hepps]

@prastle Might just be Captain Canuck language.

[prastle]

@hepps I think you just like big obstructionist objects that might impede things

[Hepps]

@prastle I guess its because I have one with me everywhere I go. It also fires in an upward direction when a suitable slender target gets within range.

[Hepps]

Ok. So during a brainstorming session an idea was tabled which intern developed into one last change to the Sea Transport line-up.

I swear this is the last change.
