Last iteration, ships were removed to save development time but now… …the shipyards are wide open! Until now, this was the entire in-game Soviet Navy: It has now more than doubled in size! Gnevny-Class Destroyer Anshan-Class Destroyer During the 1970’s, China strapped missiles to some Gnevny-Class Destroyers However, these missiles can easily be countered by Anti Aircraft Guns Project 633 Class Submarine Alternate skin: Type 033 Sverdlov-Class Cruiser Slava-Class Cruiser The P.500 Anti-Ship Missiles were made to kill carriers Kiev-Class Aviation Cruiser Kiev is also armed with P.500 carrier-killer missiles Kiev’s primary aircraft is the Yak-38 VTOL Strike Fighter If the Yak-38 is too slow for your tastes, try the more advanced Yak-141 New American Ships: Essex Class Carrier New Feature: Carrier planes automatically fold their wings when parked… …and unfold when throttling up As seen last episode, planes would teleport onto flight decks by pressing the dock button Now, you have to “pretend” to land by throttling-down and deploying landing gear Another new feature: Carrier Weight Limits Notice that Essex can only handle 12 tons The F-18 and especially the F-14 exceed this limit The lightweight F9F can be directly placed onto the flight-deck The F-18 cannot However, the F-18 is still light enough for a one-way trip If a carrier plane is under 150% of the weight limit, it can be loaded from the ground However, you will not be able to land Kitty Hawk-Class Super Carrier Kitty Hawk can handle all carrier planes in the mod pack Spruance-Class Destroyer 1980’s Modernization Non-Naval Content: If you have seen recent server combat footage, you would know that Radar-Guided Surface-to-Air Missiles are extremely effective Aircraft have received a new, cost-effective weapon to fight back: Anti Radiation Missiles You can be way off-target, and still score a direct hit However, missile operators can turn off active radar to protect themselves When set to passive-mode, anti-radiation missiles cannot lock-on Here is a more in-depth explanation of how passive vs active radar works in-game: In this scenario, all three tanks are set to passive radar, and none of them can detect each other Now the active radar tank can detect both passive tanks… …and the passive tanks can both only detect the active tank Hopefully this will encourage a deadly cat-and-mouse game between pilots and missile operators Video Information

The latest iteration of the Tyrants and Plebeians flans mod server and mod pack has ended, and work on the next one has already begun.
In the previous server iteration, ships were neglected and entirely excluded from the mod pack, but now they are back and better than ever. With the next pack focusing on the late cold war, I specifically focused on adding Soviet Russian and American ships built between the end of World War II and the Fall of the Soviet Union. As of the completion of this video, the in-game Soviet navy has grown from three to eight vessels including fully functional missile cruisers, carriers and submarines.
The functionality of aircraft carriers has also been further refined since the previous devblog, with a more immersive landing system and aircraft weight limitations that will prevent silly scenarios like loading 20 ton fighter jets onto World War II carriers built for lightweight propeller planes.
