About This File

These models represent two major landing ships in service with the People's Liberation Army Navy:

  • Type 072 Yukan class, introduced in 1978, China's first indigenous large landing ship
  • Type 072II Yuting class, introduced in 1992, an improved version of the Yukan

 

These classes form the backbone of China's amphibious assault force. Each can carry 10 tanks, or 200 to 250 troops, or 500 tons of cargo, and feature a bow ramp and stern gate. They are desgined to be fast enough to reach Taiwan from the mainland in a single night. Each ship is armed with medium-caliber AAA guns. Some Yuting hulls were apparently equipped with a pair of 40-tube 122mm rocket launchers for naval fire support. As there is not enough information about them, this variant is not included in the package, but is available on request.

 

Important note: Once these ships are installed, the game can automatically generate task forces on naval maps featuring China as the primary opposing faction (i.e. Taiwan straits/Formosa and so on). You may be tasked to sink these landing ships as a naval strike mission so plan accordingly.

 

I recommend that you install the Luda, Jianghu, and Jiangwei models (as well as any PLAN ships I create in the future) so that a full escort force is available.

Acesfakia: These ships are actually very similar in size and shape to the Jason class. 

It would be fairly easy to change the weapons and superstructure to create that ship for the Hellenic Navy, but I don't have the time for it at the moment. If another modder wants to take the project, please send me a pm. I will provide the .max file and templates for the Type 072.
