Suez Population

---

Hi!!! In this opportunity, I have populated Suez, the soutern edge of the Suez Canal. I have added some AAA and ships. I hope you like it!!! There's no readme, just replace your Suez entry in your IsraelME_TARGETS.ini with the entry inside the TARGETS.txt.

 

Required Files:

 

My Port Said Population, as all the needed files and TYPES are included there. (http://combatace.com/files/file/14777-port-said-population/)

 

IJN Kiyokawa Maru Transport. You can get it here http://cplengineeringllc.com/SFP1/

Thanks, but could I make a few suggestions?

 

First, please include a ReadMe -- it's a mandatory component of all uploads here. See:

 

http://combatace.com/topic/60088-a-reminder-before-you-upload-a-mod/

 

Second, could I persuade you not to make A-Team downloads a mandatory part of your installs? Not all CA members have access to A-Team files, so if you make them default components of your mods, you've lost a significant chunk of your audience.

 

Third, instead of rolling out these target area mods one at a time, why not wait until you finished with them all, then release a complete mod that includes all the necessary components. Easier for everyone involved, and you don't have to point users to another download just to get a TYPES.INI.

 

Finally, it might be wise to include a warning that these target area mods could be incompatible with other mods. If users replace the Port Said and Suez target areas in the 48-58 IsraelME terrain, for example, they're going to stomp all over plenty of other existing changes and updates to those target areas, some of which might be custom-tailored to the campaigns in that mod.

Indeed. One should make the basic assumption that DAT mods do NOT exist. Those with the ini dancing skills can add them themselves. There are plenty of freeware ships readily available.

 

A note on armed merchant ships: unless they're specifically a naval vessel (ie: an AK/AP/AO etc class) are illegal by international maritime law. They could be, and in some cases ARE, considered pirate vessels, and accorded the same treatment as any militant/combatant or naval vessel would be.

The precedent was set in WW2, when for example, our Liberty and Victory ships while still carrying civilian registry, carried USN gun crews, keeping with the treaty conventions. These are still in place.

That's the main reason we terraformers THINK in 100 year spans for terrain mods, and build accordingly. With FULL terrain mods

 

and your moored ships are STILL backwards in their slips.

 

For an accurate representation the Canal Zone and it ports, I'd suggest the "Eastern Med" map (modern rebuild of the ww2 North Africa). You'll see what I mean, when flying over the ports

Thank you for your suggestions guys!!! I'll do as you say as regards A-Team mods and Readme files. I didn't know about the status of armed merchant ships. Thanks guys! :)
