A great new interview with PT boats developers Akella has been posted by our friends over at flottenbasis.de The interview is in German so be sure to use Babelfish to translate (unless you have a spare Enigma machine in your quarters).
here are some of the highlights:
A German PT Boats forum is to be launched soon (English and Russian are already up)
There are Over 100 units in the game, the player can steer approximately 30 of them!
Players will gain reputation points allowing them to "purchase" addons/ upgrades for their vessel
Ports are only in some missions eg attack/defend the port. The Babelfish translation of the interview seemd a bit contradictory about whether missions would start and end in ports, perhaps one of our real German friends can clear that up.
Akella plan to make a map/data editor available for modding the game
In multiplayer games each player can man a different station aboard a boat!
Mission types available include
attack missions
convoy attack
normal patrols
special missions
secret ops
invasion/landing missions
Damage
Minor damage can be repaired at sea
The player must return to port for repair to major damage
Best of all... Akella see this at the first in a new line of naval simulations based upon the public reaction the developers may produce a Pacific add on and a new addon with full control of the larger ships
