Sonarman,
Interesting that the addon has already been released in Russia. I didn't know that.
I knew it was in the works because the ship units booklet that comes with the DVD version of the game shows some of the new units. The game seems to have the meshes and .xml already in place for the mines. I also see reference to them in the .exe so I have a hunch it might be possible to incorporate them with mods. The air torpedo, like the Japanese Kate would carry, is also in the current game, and might be able to be incorporated. However, the new ship and plane meshes are absent.
I still want to look into first person aircraft control (rudder, flaps). Following with a camera, some of the aircraft are a bit erratic as they are flying (with the AI in control), particularly the light weight fighters. Their flaps are always over-correcting to maintain level flight. I see some of the ammo can be followed with a camera. Last night I was able to follow a 500lb. bomb down after it was dropped. I'm sure the air torpedo would be the same. Would love to be able to follow a shell from a big gun, but that may be impossible.
