Default The U.S and Japan and......

What else?

What other nations are in the game. Mind you, not asking PLAYABLE;I KNOW that it's U.S subs all over, but what can you encounter out there, as friendly or neutral ships?

I guess Australia is a must.....and Great Britain, but is there anything else? I'm interested......

I guess if you have the game, you could check the museum, but I don't have it, so please.....?

cheers.

From an ol' skipper.

I don't know but I'd hope there would be British, Australian, Dutch and (as a rare bonus in the Indian ocean) German .

The odd Vichy French merchant should show up as well. USS Bowfin sank one such ship during one of its patrols.

The Russians...they right across the sea in the north

They remained neutral for like 99% of the Pacific war, they would have tons of merchants running about in and out of Vladivostok(spelling?), the Kurils, etc. They had free run of the Sea of Japan, passed through the minefields(because they were set at depths for subs not merchants). Oddly, they sometimes ran without running lights though...not very smart. Japanese hospital ships would do that too sometimes.

Actually some Russian ships were sunk by the Japanese despite the non-aggression treaty, many in fact were running to the US to get Lend-Lease supplies.

The australians are there, but poorly done, theres a kent class cruiser but then the british are modelled with lots of ships they never used in the PTO, that australia did.

Work that one out...

And apparently we flew lancasters, buffaloes and TBF's... :hmm:

Lancasters, definitely not. The Brewster F2A Buffalo and Grumman TBF Avenger are, however, both American designs.

What no Canada? We'd at least have some motor boats guarding Vancouver or Victoria

The modders will go crazy with this game. The airplanes look like something out of a comic book. Ships are done ok but will definitly be modded. There is alot of raw material to work with so imho once the bugs are worked out with patches and they straighten out the video card issue
this will be the greatest SH-series yet. And if some of SH-4 can be incorperated into SH-3 what a big bonus that will be.

I'm sure the modders will get stuck in and sort out the aircraft issues. From the sounds of it (I have yet to receive the game, arrives today) Australia's aircarft are all wrong. If a modder wants a correct list of Australian, Just PM me and I'll let you know.

Default Nations in SHIV

The following nations are in the game US, UK, Japan, Germany, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, India, France and the Netherlands. Most have only basic rosters though - we are definitely going to have to get some more ships in this game for some of these nations.
