Hey Icehawk, you probably missed my post. Could you tell me what's the font you use to write down model numbers on the icons? The small red roman numbers.

@IceHawk,
You are aware I hoope that Small ships doctrine (Composite Fleet, etc) is the assigned doctrine of almost all navies, including the British--i.e. anyone who does not use a large-carrier based navy and is not interested in Jeune Ecole concepts.

You'll find everything needed for making icons. Just select the right layers and it will come out correctly and in the right place. You don't need to worry about fonts. It's just a simple basic block lettering style.

Oh that should be in the Icon creation file posted many pages ago by Nomonhan - contact him for an upgraded version if you'd like to mod the graphics files. The file makes it super easy np!
Oh must have missed that in the write up process. In the tech files its called "Modern Mixed Fleet (UK and most others actual path)". I wasn't sure what other countries used the doctrine so I gave it the option to moving to a Green water navy for now.
Feel free to remove that option if it doesn't seem realistic - I figured that mid-sized South American or Asian countries that theoretically ended up in the Mixed Fleet doctrine could downsize to a green-water strategy, as most did. Blue water is SSN/CG inclined and that is outside most of those nations budgets.
Agree with Ringwraith below as well. Blue Water Doctrine should probably be relegated to BRICs, Large western powers & Anybody with over ~200-250IC min by 1975.. but I dont think code exists for that yet
Also added naval surprise 5% chance to Assasin's Mace doctrine that should have been added previously.
Another thing is that Assassin's Mace includes the very recent development of Anti Ship Ballistic Missile. It really is a game changer & should be realistically simulated by a medium range ballistic missile tech with naval attack. Probably a secret tech as well..
Also obviously more additional modernizations to naval brigades also need to be added. So far there are a few mentioned in the navy part 1 doctrines- FC, Radar & escort AAA for now.
Naval Doctrine part 2 will include a few more that need to be modded. Ill update it as I go along. Off the top of my head spotter planes become UAVs/helicopters, mines need modernization to self guided & rocket propelled editions, torpedoes will have ADCAP-esque version plus Shkval rocket torp plus few more..
This will be SUPER realistic when fully included - were going to put MDS to shame

Damn, I've missed that. ¬¬
I agree with iceHawk. Apart to some handpicked countries (like mostly the BRICs) The Third World have abandoned their plans of fielding Carrier bases navies. Their pretty much Green Water by now. Biggest example I can think off is Argentina, they managed to operate two Aircraft Carriers at the some point in history and now they have a mix of corvettes and destroyers as their main force.
Blue-water/green water could be a decision in the 1970s with one locking out the other. The modern large carrier ideas have their ultimate origin in the USA/Japan Base Strike Doctrine. The mixed fleet countries use escort carriers or no carriers. One idea is to make blue water require nuclear ship technology

Thank you about the icon creators.
About the nuclear ship technology prerequisite for Blue Water: I think it is not that good. BRICs operate conventional Carriers (not nearly as big as US Super-Carriers but no Light Carriers also): Russia, India and in the future China operate conventional carriers based mainly on Russian designs (Admiral Kuznetsov, Vikramaditya and Varyag, while Brazil operates the São Paulo, a Clemenceau-class (formerly the Foch). Despite the fact that there are plans for nuclear powered CVs from those countries (India, I think) I recall that, at least the Russians, will be fielding more CVs in the future but they haven't confirmed it would be nuclear powered, in fact I've read somewhere quite the opposite.

Another option is to have it a choice but require more prerequisites for blue-water. Countries without a lot of IC or close alliance partners would simply not be able to research all the prerequisites in time, and would be forced onto the other path.

I've left some space for the other 2 land doctrines--culture of fear and death squads but think these ideas if implemented at all should be either through the national ideas concept or by country-specific events, so I'm inclined against using them in the technology tree. The country specific event can nonetheless have technological prerequisites to fire, and along with the military benefits should include modeling of dissent or perhaps negative foreign relations or even belligerence.

That actually makes sense. Id shoot for having any nuclear ship tech be enough. Soviet union didnt have nuclear carriers but their cruisers and SSN deff were. France has CVNs, UK SSNs, Japan theoretically being the only difference but then again theyre a special case.
Countries that miss Blue water doctrine in 75 will still have it available in 2005, if they progress far enough. & it makes sense - if a nations naval technology did not progress into at minimum, experimental nuclear designs, then they should be a green water navy.
Take a look at models.csv to see what's missing (there's a lot missing) and submit your model names that you feel competent in submitting. Ringwraith_JP is doing Brazil so you can do any other country that has blanks or that only has a few early models. Also if you feel that a country has incorrect model names post your findings to the forum.
I submitted APC/IFV & tank model names for Chicom, Germany, Sov, France, UK & US that havent been included yet as well. I could prob help out with the model file after I do the Naval tree unless your on it
If you could make a file with JUST your models (not the whole models file just your changes) it might speed things up.

No problem, I'll start on Australia. What are the conventions for "gaps" in the tree? Obviously, not all nations utilised every slot...should I go for upgraded variations of the same model (even if they weren't used in practice), or instead look at other equipment that was tested and is a viable option but was ultimately not procured?
Additionally there are several models on the tree (such as the CAC-15 Kangaroo) which were prototyped but not used in active service (the RAAF elected to use the P-51 Mustang instead). Should I default to domestic options in all cases when one is available?
Lastly, there are some cases where the same aircraft (Mirage III, F-4 Phantom) were used as interceptors as well as fighter-bombers. Maybe in the future the tree should be changed slighly to accomodate this. I notice that interceptors in the current US tree seem to correspond to lighter aircraft such as the F-16, wheras the F-15 falls under the fighter tree...in reality both of these aircraft are multi-role and perhaps the tech tree should be split between cheaper light fighters (F-16, MiG-29), more expensive heavy aircraft (F-15, Su-27), and a few slots for a dedicated interceptor tree (F-104, MiG-25, F-14, MiG-31) since relatively few nations fielded aircraft of this type.
Same deal with CAS aircraft...I'm not sure they need so many slots since relatively few nations field such aircraft (relying instead on helicopter gunships or fighter-bombers to fill this role). There's definitely a place for the A-10/Su-25 of course, but maybe it should be separate from the AC-130, etc. Maybe you guys already have plans to change these things, I don't know.

The real world doesn't neatly fit the game design, and in fact many planes were built with different versions--the same plane could be an interceptor, multirole fighter or strike fighter (tactical bomber). If you look at some of the main countries like the USA and France, you can see which versions were used for interception vs multirole (for example the Mirages of France) and use the same versions for Australia or any other country that used them that you wish to do. And if you know of a prototype that was seriously discussed but canceled you can use it as long as it got far enough in the design and testing to assess its likely performance. For example. Britain and Canada have a couple of hypothetical models of canceled projects.
Re: Helicopters
They exist as either Air-Cav divisions or (beginning in the Vietnam War era), as Helicopter Gunship brigades representing their most frequent actual use. CAS still exists for the major nations that deployed it.

IceHawk,
Great work! For green water navy you could have
"Air independent non-nuclear propulsion" or something (Sweden's non-nuclear subs were actually found to be a difficult challenge by the US Navy)
benefit could be that THEIR naval intelligence is reduced
Otherwise I'd say "call it a day" for the naval doctrines and put anything else on the naval ships screen.

Thanks!
Yep agreed - Green-water navy will likely have an exclusive earlier AIP tech & coastal mini-sub technology. (Blue & Global doctrines both have 2 techs so it makes sense)
Submarine & surface combatant doctrines are mostly technologically based so putting them onto the navy ship screen makes perfect sense.
With part 3 ill also post a explanation of all the naval brigades Ive currently talked about as it might get a little confusing, if necessary.

When you're done I think I'll go ahead and release 0.19 with the naval improvements and anything else I might get done. Will make it AOD 1.06 B1/B2 compatible (B2 users have reported a serious malfunction in the sleepleader command with a random argument in that a leader of a different country gets slept multiple times.) However am implementing AoD's Soviet B2 ideas regardless.
The naval doctrines screen doesn't have to look as packed as the land doctrines screen because only a limited number of technologies are subject to doctrinal choice.
