The MiG-29K/KUB is definitely carrier capable. I'm not so sure about the MiG-35/29M.

[Steve]

Hee hee.

I found an awesome program someone posted on ParadoxPlaza that lets you take flag pics and convert them into shield and flag format for HOI2. So I've done that for, well, every SDNWorld country I can find a flag for.

I believe the list of HOI2 formatted flags I have now consists of Shinra, San Dorado, Vineyard Commonwealth, Tonkin, Canissia, Byzantine Empire, Serenity, and Langley.

[Karmic Knight]

I am reasonably certain Stas can sell you carrier-capable Su-27s, or maybe even Su-31s.

That would work, if Stas is willing to sell them to me.

The MiG-29K/KUB is definitely carrier capable. I'm not so sure about the MiG-35/29M.

From my research, they don't appear to be.

Please post proof and this program.

[Beowulf]

Is anyone willing to sell me 25 MiG - 29Ks and/or 15 SEPECAT Jaguar Ses?

I can't give you sepecat jaguars, but I can offer A-7Fs, which are generally higher performance, and still retain carrier capability.

The proof?






















As for the program? Here it is. Rather simple to use too, though don't try to use .gif files, it won't load them.

Well, okay, to be honest the Cascadian stuff was already done by a nice fellow, Fernando I believe, on the ParadoxPlaza forum. But I included it just to be thorough.

That sounds fine, how much for 15 A-7Fs + Spare Parts? And How much to lease the design to Gizmonic Air?

Very good, thank you.

[Shroom Man 777]

AWESOME! An aircraft carrier with MY NAME ON IT!

What should PM Shroom do in light of this honor? Maybe I can steer the vessel to port myself!

[Siege]

Karmic: I can sell you the Rafale-M, which is carrier-capable. Apart from helping out an ally etc. its space parts etc. would also be compatible with the regular Rafale aircraft I sold you earlier!

[Steve]

For an HOI2 mod I'm doing for fun, I've ran the flag of Alaska through the program too, and I figure Marius may count it.

8 Type 212A submarines for sale.. who wants them... going for 150 million each...

I'll take all eight as soon as they're available. The bill will come up to exactly $1.2 billion. Needless to say, I won't be taking any of Lonestar's Scorpènes.

[Steve]

Lonestar claims the Virginian flag, sooo.....

$12 million each (+ spares cost). Call it $200 million total. For rights to the design, $50 mil or $1 mil/aircraft, whichever is greater, payable to LTVR.

[CmdrWilkens]

So as a general heads up starting in Game Year 2015 or 2016 I'm going to begin decommisioning all of my Ticos and Burkes. They won't have Spy-3 but they will have the last generation of AEGIS and can be outfitted (by that point) with the entire SM-4 family (excepting the KIM-169 Kinetic Interceptor and RIM-172 ASAT). So if you want to start financing them now you can get the ships with the least wear and tear when they come off the line. Most will have 25-30 years of hull life but the entire fleet was SLEP'd in the 1996-2010 timeframe so most of them are fully modern.

Oh yes and if anybody wants UNREP ships I'm selling those as well. All of my Oilers are going to get phased out starting shortly after that point as all of my principal surface combatants will be Nuke driven and my AOEs carry enough fuel for my onboard aircraft.

How about the start of next year? (6 game months from now)

That sounds good.

By the way, when will I expect the delivery of my Formidables, F100s, LAV-25s, and PzH 2000s? Same time frame as before?

Probably. The vehicles can be done by the start of the next year since I am busy churning out new vehicles for army restructuring.

Damn dude I didn't realize you were buying F100s since over the next 10 years I've got 20+ that are going to go on the discount auction block.

Well.. there's the always the option of a clerical error...

[K. A. Pital]

I'm selling Su-33. That's one of the most capable carrier fighters allaround, especially with a very good range. You can also technically carrier operate other various Su-30 derivatives and some MiG-29 derivatives if you find it necessary, I believe. Not all, but some are carrier capable.

P.S. Flags are awesome. In fact, I believe we could make a HoI II: Armageddon mod for SDN World II.

$50 mil in royalties to build 15 A-7Fs.

This idea has some merits.

[Steve]

You're right, it's a cool idea.... but I am not making a new map and mutilating a copy of the game to accomodate our current map. I'd rather insist we modify SDN World II as-is onto Earth.

Which sucks more for some than for others, since the game cuts off the Arctic and thus reduces, at least on-screen, the size of Alaska, Tian Xia, the CSR possibly, etc.

Plus we'd have to decide which continent would get to become Frequesue and which would become Veleria.

ALternatively, I can see how to make some of this work. Unite Iberia and France to make Canissia, turn Britain into Shroomania obviously (maybe give it Ireland), enlarge Yugoslavia at the expense of the other southeastern Europe nations to turn it into the USSR, make the Soviet Union into the CSR (Though perhaps trim it, given the CSR's not quite as big as the Soviet Union was IIRC). Byzantium is easily made by merging Albania, Greece, Bulgaria, and Turkey plus adding bits of the Levant (In fact I remember one pre-DD mod I played that had Byzantium instead of Greece/Turkey, including a number of events that would permit the player to at least try to steer the Eastern Roman Empire into any of the big three alliances).

Of course, other countries - Japanistan, Tonkin, Shepistan-Old Dominion, are not so easily modified....

[Siege]

Price for 10-12 Rafal-Ms?

$550 - 660 million (they're $55 million a piece).

Plus we'd have to decide which continent would get to become Frequesue and which would become Veleria.

Australia for Frequesue (which was intended to be about Australia's size, after all), Africa for Velaria. Since, you know, both are shitholes .

[Karmic Knight]

$550 - 660 million (they're $55 million a piece).

Alright, 10 for $550mil, when can you get these out?

[Coiler]

Well, all this talk of flags finally motivated me to make one for Coilerburg. The full size one can be seen in the Building Your Country thread.
