Is RA still being worked on?
There's a new version supposedly anytime now to be released.

I played with the older beta for a while, and absolutely can't wait for the newest release. It really does add a lot to the game.

Guys,

Just know this....

When this mod is finally finished, it will be unlike anything we've ever experienced in DW.

I don't know if anyone else noticed this in beta.. but there is a technology trend (platforms and weapons) as well as little details about each and every air, sea and submarine platform that will make for a unique experience.

What I got out of beta is there isn't one platform(air, sub, surface) that handles / operates exactly the same way... Each platform has their own perks & flaws / strengths & weaknesses you'll have to be mindful of and will possibly open up areas of specialization of class or platform you choose to learn and control..

The impression i get is the mod team is very accurate and thorough about details. When the mod team is finally finished; its going to be a great & unique experience to look forward to...

Hi GrayOwl been a long time since I last spot a post from you.
What happened to your old account. I see now you're using a new one.

I don't know if this is the case... I know that the Virginia Class is in the mod but its reported that she has the exact same characteristics as the stock seawolf from 4 years ago.

Excuse me but this is pure bull****. Have you played with the latest version ?
I don't think so, otherwise you would never have said that the Virginia has the same characteristics as the stock Seawolf.
People should really stop talking things that they have no experience of.
All the freaking units in RA, playable or not have different characteristics (in terms of sonar performance, in terms of weapons loadout, in terms of speed/stealth, in terms of 3d modeling, etc....). There are some "limits" dictated by the poor choice of interfaces avalalble especially for surface units, the Udaloy for instance cannot have the cwis in the real life position, nor can it have the ral life dual cannon because in the game it is constrained by the frigates interface.
But this doens't mean that it plays like the american frigate.

I am really impatient to see this mod guys.Have you seen if the AI units have been improved concerning textures and hulls? I mean for example,if we will see remarkable differences between the Enterprise CVN and a Nimitz class.Most of the AI ships were not very accurate on the stock game,so Im wondering if its shape and textures are more eye candy now.

Cheers to all.

Okay... settle down... I'm just saying what this thread reports. Relax. Don't be a hot head.

If you read the threads it says

"2. Yes you can play the virginia. The systems mimick the Seawolf class"

Ok I get where the confusion came from.
But the fact of the matter is that the Virginia in RA is no Seawolf.

Some models are upgraded, but defintely not the whole database.
Its an immense job, and unless many people that play DW are willing to redo the 3d models for every sub/surface/air units you'll just have to accept whats there.
Hell even SCS didn't have the will/manpower ti upgrade the models in the database.
