A generic IJN cruiser for Guadalcanal scenarios, please. And the H6K Mavis flying boat - what a juicy target!

Fully agree.

The Japanese were the foremost users of cruisers in the Pacific. Or perhaps I should say the best tactical deployers of them, especially early in the war.

A Takao class heavy cruiser and a Kongo class battleship would make the IJN's "fleet" in IL2 a lot more realistic.

The dream team --- a perfect choice.

Just curious if a read me is ready for release highlighting the 4-11 goodies??

Romanator21 · #5 10-15-2011, 05:34 AM

A read-me would probably indicate that the patch would be out in a few days after that.

It's my birthday next week...maybe it'll be out by then

Unfortunately, Ubi did not have a historian in their legal team. NG does not have a right to prevent a WWII from being modeled. ALL US Navy vessels designed prior to 1966 were designed by the US Navy Bureau of Ships, a government institution. All the shipyard did was contract to build per US government designs. The naming of such vessels was by the Navy.

NG has absolutely '0' in the way of intellectual property in the vessel. Someone should have called the bluff.

Even calling their bluff would have cost many thousands of dollars in legal fees, which a small development studio like Maddox Games simply cannot afford, and a publisher like UBI or 1C will not tolerate on a small sales title like a flight sim.

Point of the matter is that NG has no rights to a bureau of ships design and they should have been reminded of that. The fact that the NG lawyer played that card was either ignorance or over reaching.
