Confirmed SHIV Ships So Far - Page 11

Hellcats on the escort. You can tell because of the landing gear.

Great news on the Essex. I'll definetly have to seek that one out.

Good catch dude, that is the Wasp - look at this photo:

Why model the Wasp? That was a one off if there ever was one. Hope the Ranger doesn't show up.

Looked back through the video, and the Japanese fleet carrier near the end is most certainly the Hiryu of the Soryu class. The bow and bridge structure, plus the funnel placement are dead give-a-ways.

Also I could've sworn I saw a SB2-C Helldiver on the deck of the Wasp, but it's not very discernable though, probably just more Avengers. Perhaps someone else could confirm.

AG124 · 03-12-07, 09:12 PM

Yes, that is definitely the Wasp.

And yes, she would not have been my first choice either.

But she is there now.

As for the Hiryu, I don't think it is really appropriate to list her as Soryu class, as there were significant differences between the two ships (such as fuel capacity, different tonnages, and islands on opposing sides). Although there can sometimes be minor differences within classes, especially with older ships, I think the differences between these two are such that they can only be considered half-sisters at most.

You still need to add the Hellcat AG. It looks a bit like a F2A-3 but the pit is too small and is shaped wrong.

AG124 · 03-13-07, 06:20 AM

@ Aimbot; it has now been included in place of the Buffalo.

geetrue · 03-13-07, 07:17 AM

AG124 would have made a great officer of the deck and all of his look outs have done a great job of keeping the enthusiasm of SHIV going for all of these months.

Plus this is almost a sticky it's near the top a lot ...

Thank you all for your attention to detail ...

AG124 · 03-13-07, 10:35 AM

@ Geetrue - Thank you.

Of course, it won't be too much longer until the full SHIV roster is revealed to everyone anyway.

Not that I'm complaining...:hmm:

Barkhorn1x · 03-15-07, 06:39 AM

Two more for ya - those wallpapers from the German site show:

IJN CA Maya - Takao class
USS CA Northampton - believe that was a class name ship

Drebbel · 03-15-07, 07:14 AM

I do not see any Britisch units listed in the initial post of this thread.

According to the PCgamer preview in the Apr-2007 issue there will also be Britisch unites:

"....and over 75 types of U.S., Japanese and Britisch surface ships......."

I've read this thread and nobody has mentioned anything about other ship classes from other counties. Like i hope that the prince of wales and repules, that sailed out of sinapore and to their deaths, are actually british class ships and not american. Also what about the Australian navy, which fought in most of the major sea battles and island ivasions right along side the americans. And i'm not just talking about coastal sloops, Australia had crusiers which gave a good account for themselves, like HMAS Hobart sacrificeing itself in the defence of the america troop transports off guadalcannal. It wasn't just an American v Japanses affair. Sh3 had many counties with not just British or German classes of ships.

The devs have stated that there are 80+ classes of ships included. That sounds like a whole lot - but not when you consider all of the different types of ships and classes fielded by the two major navies in the Pacific (US & IJN). I really doubt you will see any Australian or Dutch ships included. As the sim concentrates on the US sub campaign. To include the POW or the Repulse would be a waste IMO, as they were little more than targets for Japanese land based air. In fact, after 1942 the Royal Navy hardly had a presence in the Pacific until 1945 - some minor exceptions not withstanding.

Sorry, I wish they were ALL there as well but that is the reality of the situation.

Hopefully (:hmm: ), new ships can be added.

If not, that would be a MAJOR blunder on the part of the dev. team as we can forgive them for not including everything due to limited resources but, hey, at least allow the modding community to finish the job!

Subnuts · 03-15-07, 09:53 AM

Here's two more you can add:
Northampton-class Heavy Cruiser (US)
Maya-class Heavy Cruiser (Japan)

Thanks, but the Takao class CA was one of the first ships I ever added to the list - thus, it is already there.

But I will now add the Norhtampton class (and yes, the Northampton was the name ship).

And in response to those wondring about other navies, I think from the statements that the dev team made earlier (some of which have already been included by others here) that we will see a few British and Australian ships. We just haven't seen any yet.

BTW - Neal, if you are reading this, would you mind telling us what ships you saw in your hands-on preview if you are allowed to do so?:hmm:

Drebbel · 03-15-07, 10:19 AM

So no Dutch ships in the sim ???? Dang, I sure hope all the operations done bu Dutch ships and Subs will still be in it, but then using US subs.
