1) Ship naming, will grunt ships be named the same thing or randomly named? Demo there were a few ships with the same name. Not that its a big deal just want to know what your doing with it. (Waiting till the ex-pack)

[Hunter_pff]

Name of each ship is seen in the game. Each class of ships and submarines has its own list of names. Thus, you will never see a destoyer named BB Iowa, or US baqttleship - HMS King Georg V.

List of units planned for PS:Allies

 

Ships

 

Germany

 

Submarine Typ VIIC class

 

 

What is the motivation for operating medium range Type VII U-boat (Atlantic boats) in the pacific?

 

As far as i know, all uboats that operated in Indian Ocean were type IXC or type IXD (Long Range boats). The Type VII were operating as far as the Gulf of Mexico but not further.

Type VII corresponds to the class of submarines presented in Japan and Us navies in Pacific Storm. Farthermore, it is quite possible that Allies will include historic missions for single/multiplayer as well as for battleplanner, with not only Pacific battles such as Hood vs Bismark and etc.

Type VII corresponds to the class of submarines presented in Japan and Us navies in Pacific Storm. (...)

 

In wich terms does it corresponds to it's opposants?

From my sources, the Type VIIC is smaller, lighter and had less range.

The only german class that had comparable specifications was Type IXC and Type IXD.

Hunetr answered on official forum:

 

Unit list is flexible because there are many models in various stage of production, some additional units are added to fit the balance and for many other things. Some extra units that are not yet listed are planed to be added at least after Russian release to demonstrate mod support system
