New Mods

[Gryper]

Any new mods working with the new update? I saw Wolfpack345 was using some mod this week in a vid but I can't find any mods updated recently. Or do people here not encourage using mods?

There's a modding forum where you can check whether various popular mods have been updated.

This game plays fine without mods. But if you want to use them, you can.

Honestly, as a user of many of the mods I'm really enjoying Vanilla after the latest update. The game is more challenging and plays really well. I'd be keen to add an updated Pacific War mod if one comes along later...

I think is might be the abdacom campaign

Edit: yes it most likely is it

The new recently Unit Catalog aircraft will not fly in the tactical mode of WotS 1.08h5. You can modify sea text files placing older version aircraft on ships with sea planes which launch and operate.

I saw the Wolfpack345 YT video. He is playing the East Indies Campaign-Centrifugal Offensive(IJN). I downloaded the mod. It is still version 2.01 and it does not display the new map. From what he said, he installed the latest beta version and restarted his campaign. It shows the new map and he intercepted enemy bombers that were going to bomb his airfield, so the strategic bombing of locations must be working. Maybe this updated beta version is compatible with this mod? I am unable to to test it at this time. Maybe YorT (the Modder who did this mod) can provide the information?

Wolfpack has early access to the new ABDACOM update, and says so in his video. It has not been released yet.

Great. Thanks for the info everyone. I think I'll just play vanilla for now and wait for other mods to be updated.

I'm playing TTE with the new update and I haven't come across any problems yet. Sent my B-17s to bomb Rennel Island just fine.

TTE is not actually updated for the new patch, but it's fine if it works so far

Ive got the same old issue of no realistic way to defeat the allies, gut their airgroup and maul their escorts? Well, I'll just spawn a fresh one in right on the same spot! You only start with 200 Points and the AI spawns fleets well in excess of that daily

get a light carrier and build the airbases up after capturing ports around the guadalcanal area works wonders oh and let them capture guadalcanal while you do that and while you build up your forces for a counterattack later
just use your carrier and later carriers to attack any attempts to resupply and target there carriers especially
while using fighters from airbases to patrol and they will intercept any enemy aircraft if you have enough of them
after all that retake guadal canal by this point you will have alot of air cover and ships at your disposal while the americans really wont have much air cover at all
