The above was the reported list. In SHIV, aircraft have generic names, probably for licensing reasons:

- USFighter=Fighter
- USTorpedoBomber=Torpedo Plane
- USHeavyBomber=Long Range Bomber
- LBSUSSearchPlane=Search Plane

There are other nations in the game, but they mostly get some of the generic vessels that were assigned to the US, such as the Tug Boat. I will refer to this as the "Standard Roster Assignment" - below are its contents. Thus, I will just list the unique ones for each nation, plus this assignment:

Standard Roster Assignment:
- Armed Trawler.
- Coastal Composite Freighter.
- Small Split Freighter.
- Fishing Boat.
- Fishing Trawler.
- Tugboat.

UK/Australia/Canada (with their own rosters in game but combined here to save space):
- King George V class BB (UK).
- Kent class CA (UK, Australia).
- Dido class CL (UK).
- Tribal class DD (all three nations mentioned).
- Plus Standard Roster Assignment.

Germany:
- Auxiliary cruiser.
- Plus Standard Roster Assignment.

The Netherlands:
- Frigate (listed as "What is This?" under names file).
- Plus Standard Roster Assignment.

France, India, New Zealand, and Russia are included as well, but with no unique vessels - only the standard roster assignment.

Also Included:
- Lifeboat.
- Liferaft.
- Survivor.

I may post some screenshots later, but they will probably be on the SHIV site soon anyway.

Maybe this thread would make a good sticky?:hmm:

Yep sticky this thread! ...and update of course.

[Safe-Keeper]

Just a reminder: The Zero has made an appearance in the trailer, if you're planning to list airplanes.

[Payoff]

Sticky that puppy!

[WilhelmSchulz.]

I call the fishing boats "Fishi Marus"

[rodan54]

I'd say the Mogami class for sure is in, well at least the CA/CV hybrid version is.
They've also shown the Val, Avenger, and Liberator.

[JU_88]

B24 - Liberator also in the screenies

[SmokinTep]

US PT boats would be nice.

[Soviet_Sharpshooter]

If we actually destroy a few Japanese carriers, will that speed up the war :hmm: like will the course of the war be dynamic? That'd be nice

Why is this going to be included?

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by that question, so I will answer both possible questions that I think you could mean.

1. Why are US warships being included? The same reason Axis warships were included in SHIII - to enhance the dynamic campaign by having ships from both sides present. This would be particularly useful as the war proceeds further, and more US (and maybe UK and Australian) ships appear on the offensive.

2. Why the New Mexico class? I don't know - there are a lot of older battleships I'd rather see in the game myself, including the Pennsyvania, Nevada, or Colorado classes. Still, maybe we will get several of them anyway.

Also, I will add aircraft to the list - I don't know as much about aircraft as I do about warships, so if anyone can identify the specific models represented (for example, which model of zero) that would help a lot.

[JU_88]

Im the opposite - I know f**k all about ships esp pacific ones, but planes I can spot a mile off.

[bookworm_020]

I hope there is Australian ships (as well as New Zealand, UK, Dutch, and any others). Australian ships were there from day one (Australia was fighting from September 1939, yes it was Europe, but Australians saw action in pretty much every theater of war, as were other countries).

Providing they the devs give us a decent unit editor it will be easy fo us to make ships, planes and hopefully subs form other nations Other wise it will be hard work like in SH3 (but still possible I imagine) Its just that less people will bother.
