[WIP-FA] World War II Conversion

[:1]The biggest war ever fought comes to the most epic RTS game ever developed. World War II on an unprecedented scale. Full-size naval battles, 1000 bomber raids, aerial dogfighting, and much more.
The initial plan right now is to get the air and land units for the Germans and USA done first and then decide on whether to add naval units or to add the Soviets and Japanese.

|||Pretty nice job, dude!
Now the "Fuel" feature can be used as it really should be.
What unit will be the Commander? Talk about your conceptions and gameplay.|||Thanks!
I am willing to listen to ideas about the commanders as I don't know the best way to implement them with a WWII feel to it.
The best idea I have is to keep the idea of commanders as we know them. Each faction gets a General unit that will be the "Commander". These units will be command tanks (think Rommel in the desert, or the famous pictures of Patton in his tank with all of the antennas) that will be able to build the factories and simple defenses such as AA guns, Machine Gun nests, AT defense, etc.
The engineers will be what were referred to as Engineer Halftracks. Each country used them in the war and they will be able to build the entire arsenal.
Infantry will definitely be included. They will be complete stealth units that can only be seen by other infantry. They will not show on the radar map. Most vehicles (with the exception of scouts) will have a small sight radius so it will be possible to ambush vehicles using infantry.
I have the entire unit list figured out already and I can post that if anyone is interested.|||I loved the "infantary stealth system", that will turn the gameplay much more interesting.
I always thought that supreme commander have a incridible potencial to diferent gameplays, not only the constant "big weapons and many units". As I can see, your mod will bring a true scaled war.
So, what about he economy system, you will use mass and energy?
Post the unit list! |||Sounds like a pretty cool total conversion that I'd love to play. It also sounds like a lot of work...|||It definitely is a lot of work, but it is moving along quickly. I am looking for help with pretty much everything, so hopefully some people are interested.|||I updated the first post with the unit list.
The plan is to use "Mass" as Oil Deposits. Energy will remain largely unchanged.|||This looks great! :)
I have a few questions:
1) T1 and T2 ground for both factions have no AA. Is this intentional? If so, what is your reasoning behind it?
2) Are there going to be different types of infantry units, or are they all going to behave the same way?
3) It looks like each Tier contains the same types of units but just stronger variations. Is there going to be any reason to continue using units of a previous Tier once you have teched up? For example in FA each tier would give you new types of units in addition to stronger variations of some lower tier units.
4) Do you plan on adding a third faction? If so, I hope you make it the Russians!
Again, the screens look great :)|||Thanks!

but anyway, this is looking to be promising, keep it up, I'll be watching :)|||Two new units enter the war. The P-38 Lightning and the Sturmtiger Heavy Assault Gun featuring a 380mm Cannon.

btw Alt+L turns off health bars for screenshots.|||Thanks Sam!
Here is the Focke-Wulf Fw-190 Fighter-Bomber
|||When you get closer to releasing this let me know. I can make some beautiful WWII inspired maps for it if you would like. Western Europe, North Africa, Iceland, etc...
See these threads for some examples of what I have done. Some of my maps have been included in tournaments and Moonlight has been in the FA Ladder map pool since release. It would be fun to participate in this mod. I might have some ideas for balance also. I've been playing FA since release and have been a top 100 player so I have some concept of competitive game play.

A couple of comments:
pap1723|||Just to point out the Ju-87 was a dive bomber. The Ju 88 might be what you are looking for.
There's also the 88 MM cannon.
Also Germany did build a few super cannons on rail ways.
Might be worth considering for exps. There's also the V weapons.|||Quote:|||pap1723|||Awesome! Mithy you are the best!|||I just took another look at how I did the configuration portion of that mod, and I could probably make the whole thing a lot more convenient, and move some of the actual offset math out of the on-damage function to make it a bit faster. I'll try to release another version in a day or so that has some improvements, and a lower UID.|||Sounds great, please let me know when it is available.
