In the unit list, the Britain & US have no submarine and the German have no carrier.
It is true that German didn't put any CV into real battle during WWII, they do plan to build them in the "Plan Z", but they didn't make it.
Since DDAY have so many "never existed" unit, so I think it will be great if you add the German's never existed carrier, such as Graf Zeppelin or Flugzeugtrager B, into the game as the German's CV.
Graf Zeppelin :

Graf Zeppelin II :


And about the US & Britain's SS, they were important during the war. Like the US's SS cut off the Japan's supply line between south Asia and Japan's mainland, which caused the oil lacked JPN not be able to operate in distant seas.
So I am curious about why the two nations have no SS, is it because of gameplay balance or some other reason?

By the way, the French BB looks great, all the unit in the mod is really detailed.

In-game, SS would probably just be equivalent to heavy infantry, for whom the US and UK have SMG gunners. How they're used in the game is really up to the player, so recreating raids and the like is more up to the player than Miggy, but I'm sure he's considered the strengths and weaknesses of every unit.

As for the lack of German carriers, I haven't played the mod but I'm hoping various inconsistencies between the unit lists makes the sides play and feel different. As much is it would be great to see every possible unit, especially once Miggy's voxeled them up, but if the graphics are the only differences between the sides, there's no point having more than one.

Pity there's no logic (as far I can remember - its been years) for different units for water crates, or it would be a great addition!

I've actually already made two different voxels of the Graf Zeppelin, I'm not happy with either of them tho & will probably be making a third at some point. Either way the Graf Zeppelin will be in the mod at some point, but it won't be a standard unit.

The exclusion of submarines from the allied sides is mainly for balancing & variation, not every side has carriers so they ones that don't specialise in submarine warfare instead. The exception to this is Japan tho, who are weaker then other sides in land & air so their naval strength compensates for that.

PS: Jeeves you can have access to the beta if you want? I wound have asked you before but your not very active around here any more :/
