Hell in
the Pacific 0.5 beta release
Finally
after many years of development, we witness the first release of Hell
in the
Pacific,
a mod that tries to cover the events that took place in Asia and the
Pacific
during
the Second World War.
We
decided to give our first release the rather arbitrary version number
0.5. We felt the
need
to release the mod now for various reasons, but would like to point
out that the
mod
is still in beta phase as there are many unfinished and missing
things we have yet
to
implement.
This
first release is dedicated to land combat in the Pacific and the
India/Burma
theatres,
mainly on the finished or at least almost finished maps 'Tarawa',
'Peleliu' and
'Kohima
Ridge'.
We
will include other WIP islands as well, so you can see what we are
working on.
The
same is true for many of the air and sea components of the mod. These
things are
still
in beta stage of development, but will be included as some sort of
sneak peek
or
preview.
Feature List
Below
is a small feature list of what is included in HIP 0.5 beta:
-Three
factions complete with vehicles and aircraft
-Three
more or less finished islands along with some very WIP ones
-Several
Modules that add new features like Logistics, Artillery, Suppression,
...
-A
mission pack
