Thank you King Sama, U-boat and Le vengur

[Darkhorse]

If you still want to help with research, please could you tell me what naval forces Italy, Germany and UK had on the Mediterranean circa summer 1941?

Thanks for all the help you gave us until now.

Germany had 62 U-boats in the battle of the Mediterranean, and lost them all by 1944. I don't think they had many surface vessels, perhaps a few destroyers and definitely transports. Circa 1941, 27 Uboats IIRC. Submarines were disadvantaged in the Med, they had to sneak past Gibraltar and the water is clear and calm.

The Free French had a presence, using British Flower class, Cannon class, and River class vessels, a handful of Submarines, including Surcouf, the submarine monitor, and a handful of French destroyers.

The Vichy French had at least 4 Destroyers and 1 submarine, which were used defending against the allied invasion of Lebabon/Syria

Italy's Regia Marine had 2 aircraft carriers believe it or not , the Aquila (modification of the liner Roma, built but never used) and Sparviero (modification of the liner Augustus, never completed). There were 9 Battleships, the Cavour class: Conte di Cavour, Giulio Cesare (modernised World War I battleships), the Andrea Doria class: Andrea Doria, Caio Duilio (modernised World War I battleships), and the famous Vittorio Veneto class: Littorio/Italia, Vittorio Veneto, Roma, Impero (not completed) However, some of these were sunk at Taranto in 1940. Eight Heavy cruisers, from the Trento class: Trento, Trieste, Bolzano, the Zara class: Zara, Fiume, Pola, Gorizia and lastly the San Giorgio, again, I'll have to check losses before 1941.

The Regia Marina had large amounts of Light cruisers from the Da Giussano class: Alberto da Giussano, Alberico da Barbiano, Bartolomeo Colleoni, Giovanni dalle Bande Nere, the Cadorna class: Luigi Cadorna, Armando Diaz, the Duca d'AostaEmanuele Filiberto Duca d'Aosta, Eugenio di Savoia, the Duca degli Abruzzi class: Luigi Savoia Duca degli Abruzzi, Giuseppe Garibaldi, the Montecuccoli class: Raimondo Montecuccoli, Muzio Attendolo class: , the Capitani Romani class: Attilio Regolo, Giulio Germanico, Pompeo Magno, Scipione Africano, Ulpio Traiano, and the TarantoTaranto, Bari class: .

@Vs 002:
Good idea, we'll see about it when we get to the Europe campaign(s) development.

@le vengur:
Good polish navy idea added to the research compilation.

@ghhg44:
Have you TGW, our submod and nothing else activated?

i only have TGW and your submod activated and im sure of that becuase i dont use other mods

[King Sama]

i only have TGW and your submod activated and im sure of that becuase i dont use other mods

Try this: NTW Data Checker
It will tell you if there are any problems.

If they are not I would like to know:
1)Did the installer work or did you do manual?
2)Are you using mod manager to activate the script? Is the ww2 pack above TGW?
3)Is it only those two factions and those units or is it all of them?

[Admiral Van Tromp]

Added all the new researches to the Sandstorm Campaign Preview post.

1) it didnt work
2)yes i use modmanager and ww2 pack is above TGW
3)its all factions

[Admiral Van Tromp]

3)its all factions

Does the game work only with TGW?

[ghhg44]

yes

[King Sama]

yes

Hmm, this is odd. You are using the new ww2 text and replaced the old TGW one?

Also, when it loads, do you see the ww2 logo at the title menu? And different music from TGW?

[removeduser_23847628374234]

How about to add some generals for costum battle, in the orginal NTW you have to(Not really have to) choose a general before selecting units. As exempel:
(Sweden)General staff===>Duke of västergötland===> Karl XIV Johan
You could add known generals from WWII there, as exempel:
(The third reich)General staff-Herman Fegelein===>Otto Günshe===>Adolf Hitler
Maybe you would like some other generals, I only know their names.

[removeduser_23847628374234]

Here's a swedish general

Stig Norén

i see the logo and i dont know exactly anymore....

[removeduser_23847628374234]

Whas my idea good?

[Aanker]

I don't think Norén was in service during the time of the Great War, he was known as the head of the Royal Swedish Air Force from 1968 to 1973, which isn't really the time period we're looking at. Furthermore, he was born in 1908, and would probably not have fought in World War I, let alone command troops in battle.

PS. Oh. Wait. Silly mistake. This is a World War II submod.

*hum* WW 2 *hum*

[King Sama]

Yes sorry, we will be implementing something like that eventually

i see the logo and i dont know exactly anymore....

Place the ww2 pack and TGW text pack in your data folder. Then using the NTW data checker to which i directed you earlier, open your userscript from there, and enter exactly whats supposed to be in the userscript (you can find this in the readme). Save that, make sure there are no folders or files that are not supposed to be there (besides TGW.pack of course), and run the game. This should work, if not, then there is something conflicting with the mod

ok i will try

[The Vengur]

lots of research

i have been trying to find information about the royal navy, so far i got:
4 QE class battleships
2 carriers
possibly one revenge class battleship, one nelson class battleship and 2 more carriers (depend on date).

1 secure, 5 possible town class cruisers
2 secure, 3 possible dido class cruiser
and lots of destroyers

[Darkhorse]

Haven't had the chance to look into it yet (US Army faction for AtC). Barham and Ark Royal were there because they were sunk, some QE's were there as they were attacked in Alexandria buy human torpedo's and there was at least 1 Dido at Crete, which I believe were AA destroyers/light cruisers.
