Requires game verison108g7h2

As Supreme Commander, balance your resources with the Army's campaign in China, and the Navy's campaign in the pacific...

This is a DLC for Apollonir’s Pacific Mod which adds land units and colonial civil services mechanism. Includes an overhauled UI with a Japanese theme. The point of the mod is to experience the two main fronts (China and Pacific) to relive the challenges as an admiral of the IJN and General of the IJA in China. The China front will be mainly land units, but they will significantly drain your resources for your defense of the pacific. And the defense of Burma is another threat.

Looks very interesting

[Apollonir]

A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one!

This sounds amazing. A great step forward into transforming this game into an all around land air and sea warfare game also adding the logistical challenges. Love it. Adding conflicting campaign missions ( IJN and IJA could never agree on which theatre to focus on ) would be pretty cool. Absolutely love this idea, keep at it and thanks for the great work already! Will download this when I get home.

[COMMANDER HANFEI]

Thanks. I will keep updating files in the google drive to tackle possible errors and bugs.

Hey man, have come across some sort of bug trying to launch the campaign. Followed the instructions ( started by using JSGME to de activate TTE and associated mods. I then downloaded your override folder which I added and replaced the existing override folder ( deleted original override folder first then added yours ). I loaded in, got the graphics you added in the main menu, tried to launch the campaign and it will bug halfway into loading, showing a character / ship management menu on the left ( the one used to manage cargo, swap, unload all cargo etc etc... ). Tried again, added the pacific mod dll and had the same bug again. Preparing to uninstall fully and add your override folder, hoping uninstalling and re installing fixes the issue.

[Squirrelz]

Seems like I have tried almost everything and still getting the same bug when loading campaign. Gets stuck halfway and the background is a blank map of the campaign with a character ( general / admiral ) options menu open on the left. Re installing and deleting all saved games files and game files still hasnt loaded in for me. Not giving up, love the idea, hope it works for me at some point! Keep at it and thanks again for the time you re putting in!

[COMMANDER HANFEI]

I've uploaded a new zip file of the override. And please make sure to change the game version to version108g7h2. Thanks.
Here is the link on how to do that. The mod runs on an old version of WOS.

I've encountered numerous bugs like the Zero fighters having 5 millions km of range to no zoom for planes and ships not mentioning non stop clipping. Also the cargo Ships selection categories are hard to follow but otherwise i absolutely love this mod and the real feeling playing as a Japanese. Thank you

[COMMANDER HANFEI]

Hi, thanks for trying the mod. Its still the initial release so I am aware of these issues. But the unlimited range of the Zeros was an attempt to imitate the deployment of air force in land bases. So you can deploy a group of zeroes in the pacific islands as stationary forces, and pull them back once you change strategy. Its intended to relive the scarcity and preciousness of skilled zero fighters. I intend to disable land based aircraft totally to really relive this situation.

At the end of the war the IJN was in real need of skilled pilots, so they even deployed navy pilots into land bases, so many Japanese CVs ended up having no planes to put. These empty CVs would then be stuck at naval ports since there isn't enough oil either.

As for the cargo ships, I am working on that. The first three on the list should be enough for the game.

And the zoom is also on purpose because I wanted to get a deck view of the ships. You can get the normal camera by deleting the config.txt in the override folder, so that the game will use the default camera.

The sound of the aa for ships have been muted deliberately because I thought it got really noisy after numerous battles. But thanks for the comments.

Whatever updates I make, I will put it in the hotfix.zip in the download link.

Is this mod completed? I've tried to find the latest download here and in Discord, but even though I was able to get the game to run, and I can create task forces and launch carrier aircraft, I can't find a way to launch planes from any of my airfields. Everything in the pop-up is blank.

It looks like a great mod and a welcome addition to the game, so I'd really like to be able to use it. Thanks for all your hard work.

[Redmarkus4]

Guessing this mod is dead?

[COMMANDER HANFEI]

Hi, it's not dead. But I am not working on any changes at the moment. I disabled all land based aircraft for the Japanese side. Instead, the zeros, vals and kates should have almost unlimited range. This is to recreate the deployment of pilots and squadrons to various battlefields. You can "station" your vals and kates at any base since they have almost unlimited range.

Thanks for the reply and for your work on the mod.
