East Indies Campaign - v3.1
Is a Standalone Map and Mod centering around the Dutch East Indies in early 1942

Background
During World War II, ABDACOM (American-British-Dutch-Australian Command) was a short-lived military alliance formed in early 1942 to coordinate the defense of Southeast Asia against the advancing Japanese forces. It comprised military forces from the United States, Britain, the Netherlands, and Australia.

However, due to various challenges such as limited resources, communication difficulties, and the overwhelming strength of the Japanese forces, ABDACOM faced significant setbacks. The alliance was unable to effectively coordinate its efforts, and its member nations suffered major defeats, this provides an opportunity to rewrite the course of history and reverse the tides of adversity.

The Mod incorporates several additional ships and a new map with two campaigns of the Dutch East Indies:
Allied Campaign - The ABDACOM Defensive.
Japanese Campaign - Centrifugal Offensive.

List of code improvements

• Custom resource mechanics, costs & airfield plane replenishment costs
  -5 fuel & 5 engineering & 50 supplies per ship that expended ammo or lost planes
  -2 fuel & 2 engineering & 10 supplies per lost task force plane
  -2 fuel & 2 engineering & 10 supplies per replenished airfield plane
  -unload engineering and fuel in batches of 10
  
• Additional Invasion Force Mission.
  
• AI convoys now resupply and upgrade bases (secondary objectives) that they have taken over.
  
• increased AI torpedo attack range from 50% to 75%
  
• AI fighters no longer strafe player ships and will focus on fighters if enemy aircraft in the AO, I wanted to ensure that fighters with bombs attacked ships and not senselessly strafe hard targets like Cruisers and Battleships, the base code has fighters ignore enemy fighters in the area if they spot surface units initially.
  
• AI TF's no longer wait 24 hours before sending out a new TF, this now occurs immediately on the return of the previous AI TF.
  
• AI Carriers now provide "aircover", a setting in the campaign seamissions which in vanilla code only has land based fighters perform a CAP over AI TF's, any TF with a carrier will now provide their own aircover.
  
• Auto airpatrol bug fix - this was a new bug that was introduced with the latest patch.

Features

• All new East Indies map, with new bases and full tactical map alignment.
  
• Japanese DEI Campaign - "Centrifugal Offensive"
  
• Allied DEI Campaign - "ABDACOM Defensive"
  
• Introduced extended range to some fighters utilising drop tanks.
  
• Complete overhaul of AI gameplay, with more realistic player experiences, utilising increased aircraft ordnance dispersion, increased sub, and decreased torpedo detection ranges, this is variable depending on weather conditions.
  
• Lowered submarine torpedo accuracy by limiting the maximum solution for subs to 50%. This adjustment was made in response to the core game's exceptionally precise torpedo-targeting systems.
  
• Rebalanced ship damage to represent historical damage and realistic time ships actually sink. (the game has ships sinking way too quickly)
  
• New sound effects taken from (Berserker45, AoBaMaoGG and KilluH) sound mods.
  
• Japanese-themed music.
  
• Diamond Formation for Aircraft.
  
• Merchant Naval Flags for Japan, the UK, Australia, and the Netherlands.
  
• Rebalanced all weapons (refactored using Garzke and Dulin Empirical Formula), torpedoes, and bombs to now better represent historical damage.
  
• Uses Apollonir's "Pacific Mod" modified resource mechanics, you will now have to manage your base's resource flow.
  
• Added realistic sea states which reflect real-world weather, using the Beaufort Scale (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beaufort_scale)
  
• Broken and Overcast Days have a more realistic ambiance.
  
• Separate "Merchant Ship Resource values" text file located in the main folder for referencing.
  
• Improved ship maneuverability mechanics to deliver a more authentic ship feel.
  
• All aircraft are compatible with KFG's new aircraft mechanics.
  
• AI subs/ships will deploy their torpedoes at extended ranges.

Still working out asset lists of the relevant ships and aircraft around this time, campaign is nearly done, so I suppose.....soon :)

[ltrbs104]

Very much looking forward to this.

I hope!

[Mr.Gold]

I am following this mod with interest. Hope it isn't an unmitigated disaster like the real Abda campaign. Not that Abda could do much. Couple of police regiments and some old ships and aircraft vs the veteran troops of the Japanese army and Navy supported with the best equipment money can buy.

[Markus1987]

I am also very excited about this

[YorT]

@Mr.Gold you've hit the nail on the head, its going to be a very challenging campaign with not so good odds on the Allied side, it will definitely be worth the wait :)
