More of a headache but also more realistic, too. Concrete and steel, shipped en mass to where you want things built. Can be used to supplement or even replace the whole war bonds cost mechanic. Part two (optional), add a new resource type: Construction Materials. Worried about the enemy counter-invading your latest acquisition? Focus construction on coastal guns before everything else. Want to have a back line storage facility with maybe some repair drydocks? You can do that, too. Want to have a major airbase and nothing else? You can do that. So now instead of paying one large flat rate to do all these once, you can pay smaller amounts to just do one of these at a time, in order of a priority that you can decide for yourself. Also includes spotlights.ħ) Port Facilities: Haw fast ships refuel/rearm, as well as repair. Hanger size would also have a moderate impact on how much aviation fuel can be stored and extra room for aircraft munitions (bombs, depth charges, etc).Ģ) Airfield: Limit of active aircraft and turnaround/launch times - larger runways could launch two or three fighters at a time, for example, while a certain minimum would be needed for larger aircraft to be usable at all.ģ) Warehouse: Obviously has very large affect on dry goods stored, including rations.Ĥ) Fuel Depot: Ditto for fuel and aviation fuel.ĥ) Coastal Guns: The bigger the better! Start with two or three and work you way up to a dozen or more.Ħ) AAA: For preventing those pesky aircraft raids.


We can then split bases up into different modular sections:ġ) Hanger: Limit of reserve aircraft and repair speed.
#Building new aircraft in victory at sea pacific upgrade#
With a modular system players (and AI) could choose to upgrade specific parts of a base while ignoring others. Defense guns, cargo capacity, aircraft runways, etc. First and foremost, I propose getting rid of the linear, high cost base upgrade system in favor of one that is modular in nature.Ĭurrently, if you want to upgrade a port, you have to spend $1000+ and everything gets upgraded together.
