ao'45 and pacific status

[terminator]

Tea Time : "Pacific is coming out probably december or late summer"

[rafstaff]

Correct me if i am wrong, as i understood from tea time next in realese will be ao 45 and than on summer, late summer will be pacific? so we can assume that ao 45 will be ready on spring or early summer?

[wecker]

Well that is great news!

Thank you for:

- free content
- AO1945
- Pacific DLC

And regarding the hours...

First i would like to thank the team for the amazing game, i lost count of how many hours I played already xD

If you play on steam you can look this up.

I´m afraid mine is quite low

I hope there will be some bonus scenarios in the free content.

I can't wait for the Pacific theatre. I am fairly new to the game, but must admit that I have grown fairly tired of the western and eastern front. I have always enjoyed the Pacific theatre and Vietnam war settings in other games though.

[PaxusZero]

People's General was absolutely brilliant. It was the last of the five star series. That's what I really, REALLY want slitherine to work on after AO 45.

If you've not been watching Tea Time,

Next release will be a large free update,
Followed by 1945
Followed by Pacific in the summer. Probably late summer.

Pat

I will watch Tea Time soon thank you.
About the pacific game, is that a new branch of panzer corps or this is the allied corps dlc(like it was in panzer corps I)?
Sorry for bothering and thanks for the update.

This is an enitrely new set of DLC. So separate from Axis Operations.

It will initially be from the Allied perspective, and once complete will be done from the Japanese perspective.

Pat

Maybe too soon to ask, if so my apologies. Have there been any discussions about European Western Theatre DLCs for Germany along with Allied/Russian Corps DLCs? And while I'm at it a 1946/1947 hypothetical?

AO DLCs after 1941 are all named "East" if you check the game files and core save names, so they certainly will do more than just the eastern front.

It's too early for us to give out any information. I would suggest look at the PzC1 releases and add on a few lesser fought wars. There aree ideas being mulled over and its always good to see what players are interested in.

Korea would be an easy one, relatively speaking, as most of the equipment used is already in the game

Well I would be interested in the following wars/campaigns besides the ones who are already announced (AO45, US-Pacific):
- for Japanese Pacific DLC I hope for: possibility to fight in the west to India (meet DAK, south to Australia and east to Hawaii and the US West Coast). I am still in love with the old Pacific General from SSI Fighting the Germans at the Mississipi was awesome
- Japanese DLC for China starting 1932 with Mancuria, Marco Polo bridge and then Nanking, Shanghai, Hong Kong)
- Chinese campaign (nationalist Kuomintang versus Communists and Japanese, communist one against Kuomintang and Japanese where both end 1949 in Taiwan. Possible Chennaults Flying Tigers as a reward unit)
- off course DAK in Africa (ending in India with meeting the Japanese there)
- campaign for the Desert Rats (including East Africa against the Italians)
- Allied campaign in Italy (Sicily, Salerno, Volturno, Monte Cassino, Anzio, Rome, Goten Linie and possible breakthrough into the Alpenfestung from the south)
- Soviet campaign starting with Finland / Chalchin Gol - ending with the conquest of Manchuria. Maybe you can orientate yourself on SSIs Scorched Earth where Konjew and Zhukov lead seperate campaign paths
- Italian campaign in Abessinia, rest of East and North Africa
- Hungarian, Italian and Romanian campaign on the Eastern front until the last fights
- Finnish Winter War and Continuation War
- French campaign (starting with the defeats in France, evacuation of Dunkirk, Narvik, Syria, Madagascar, african colonies, landing in Southern France)
- Free Polish campaign (starting in 39 with fights against Germany and Soviet Union), captivity in Soviet Union, Evacuation to North Africa, fights in North Africa, Italy, Normandy, Arnheim - possible Warsaw Uprising
- ANZAC campaign (mixed with Pacific and North Africa)
- Birma campaign (already done with Order of Battle but I would like it very much)

...and much much more other players here will find

A full battle of the Atlantic campaign would be pretty fun. Since you guys are revamping naval stuff. Always want to see US/allied grand campaign along with the Soviet one.

[Ruggs225]

Awesome news!
After the allied and Japanese campaigns I would like to see grand campaigns for both. The u.s. could even start in china with the flying tigers while the japanese campaign would definitely start in china.

Then i would like an allied grand campaign or US grand campaign for europe followed by the axis west campaign.

And Operation z campaign hypothetical could also be fun.

@PatrickWard
Will we ever get to know what really happened with the Pacific DLC?

Normally you announce a DLC, then two DevDiaries and two months later its released.

Pacific was announced 21 !! months ago and was said to be developed in parallel to the Axis DLCs. If it will really ever come out in late summer it will be way past the 2 years mark.
And if we look at the screenshots from the announcement all the 3D models were already finished. That leaves the design of 14 maps and some scripting, which some modders here can do easily in 10% of the time.
Additionally the communiction was basically nonexistent.

As Edmon is dodging any questions about this for the whole time now so its safe to assume we will never know. But damn im curious.

To me... it seems that as it was once said... "Houston!!!...We Have A Problem!!!... No-Communication!!!... No-Explanation!!!".
They must be "Bewildered and Lost!... and even incredibly unsure of what they are trying to accomplish". and If that is so!, then... as "You-Suggested"... the "Modders" here at this Forum could instead take a crack at this project... and maybe... could finish up this Job... in 10% of the time that its taking these "Specially Highly Intensively Trained... Experts to complete the deal".

Expert: "Ex- designation for something or someone in the Past-Tense"... As-Somebody who is presently described in the "Past-Tense" as "(Ex)A has-been!"... "(Spurt)A Drip Under Pressure!"

[PaxusZero]

Pretty sure it is: Pandemic, shifting corporate priorities, Pacific turns out to be more than just a DLC, work on other properties first.

[terminator]

I’m not in a hurry, there are other new WW2 games to play while waiting (Company of Heroes 3, Second Front...)

[RVallant]

I wonder what the big free update will be?

Sounds like it would be actual content, as I don't consider optimisation or balance changes to be a 'big' update, just a conventional one.

Maybe a free trip to the United States, the new mechanisms of play for the ships in view of the dlc pacific...
