YES
YES
NO
NO

YES (I assume you mean factions and all factions support government in exile you can't mod that)

So seeing that picture, it appears that each ship now has its own list of enemy ships it has sunk! Looks cool!

 

[King]

Names are in txt files for sure.

yes in names are indeed in a text file.

It was in HOI 2 already.

HoI2 had that as well, certainly in Armageddon and maybe in Doomsday and earlier.

SR redeployement through sea and air?
Air transport for non para units?

 

[unmerged(131342)]

Nice, as expected. That's always the trouble with excellent performance, people expect it after a while

no
yes

 

[unmerged(87984)]

A destoryer is currently defined like this

transport_capability = 0.00

That's very interesting, thanks

 

[unmerged(138740)]

no
yes

Yeah! Mountain troops send by air to support landing on Crete!
My dreams are comming truth!

Another q, possibility of new:
1. Installations
2. Resources

and if yes - will they be visible on map?

 

[TheLoneGunman]

Honestly, never knew you could track the kills for individual ships...

Can you say more about how air transport of non paras work? I think this is great. Thanks for the DD!

You have a variable, can_paradrop = yes/no

 

[unmerged(140781)]

For transport- are units assigned to certain 'ships' or are they just put in a pool based on the capacity of the ships?
If the latter is true- can you just lose some str instead of having the division destroyed when some ships are sunk, but not enough of them to completely eliminate the capacity of the fleet? ( EX 3 destroyers with 1 capacity are carrying an armoured div that has a weight value of 3. If you sink one of the destroyers- does the div go down or do you just lose a % of strength?)

Thanks King.

 

[Lauri]

Then is there another variable for dropping a division?
Since there's a difference in a paradrop (where you drop airborne) and a air transport (where you fly a division to where it's going to go)...

can_paradrop sounds like the last one..

 

[BL68]

Looking at the screenshot it looks like there is some sort of naval chain of command,
is it so ?

And is the "Ob Vest" a land based naval HQ ?

There is no difference in Hearts of Iron 3
