I noticed there is no drone detection ring on your defence platforms, despite all the aircraft available. Is this just an oversight and yhey do actually detect drones or is it a case that that just wasn't implemented? Just asking so I know wether to mix in the base game naval monitoring stations among the defence platforms. Thx for the mod, excellent edition to the game!

@saulferrandiz Absolutely. I have released the Japanese Naval Air Station mod just for you my friend.

I started playing with the QOL mod by Combat, along with his Battlecruiser, HLA and Arsenal Ship mods. I feel like I'm missing instalations where there are any naval helis, other than the default monitoring station. So with his QOL you get Spec Ops helis for Air Bases and Attack helis for tactical bases, which I do apreciate, yet that leaves all five slots locked. That makes your maritime patrol aircraft unusable :(

I kind of hoped this mod could fit in that need, however it has just two naval helis, it seems well balanced, not complaining. So here's an idea:

How about a land-based naval air station with less weapons and more aircraft. Multi-role attacker (~10), Naval heli (6 to 8), Carrier AWACS (2), Maritime patrol and the fifth could be anything. It would work best as a separate mod and could have your maritime patrol incorporated only in said NAS so people can still use QOL mod

thx and sorry for the tirade lol

Any possibility for an AEGIS type system?

Like an AEGIS Destroyer & Aegis ashore type of thing?

@Zombiedragon I will check it out.

@PhantomCrestTV The C-RAM Emplacements mod has been updated to include SEA-RAMs, a new water-deployable missile defense system.

Love this mod, proving very useful when playing in south asia/australia and middle america (denying the texas gulf). Fantastic job.

As for other mod ideas I'd recommend checking out the declassified US document: AD-A956 443 which is a 1980s ICBM basing concepts document (should be able to be found in a search engine). Other ideas would be a Mobile Operating Base (MOB, has a Wikipedia page) or Nuclear powered hovercraft based ships/aircraft carrier (think naval units but faster). Just ideas though, don't have to do them.

@PhantomCrestTV Yes, that is easily doable. I'll see what I can do after the new year's.

Mayhaps we could have a Sea deployable C-RAM?

seeing the slow clap award warns me off

I've uploaded a "Naval ABM" mod that should fit your requests. If that's not enough, it's very easy to add a terminal ABM weapon to this mod.

Given your discussions below, and that you feel this may be too much, maybe something like adding Terminal ABM but reducing the Aircraft, say to 4 attack planes and 2 navy helicopter?
Just a suggestion, as I do love this mod, but I do see both the author's and Baron's points?

possibly a cheaper alternative to a carrier

@Redacted but not so It is doable but why? Better a fleet of ships than a single do-it-all ship.

@BaronVonSwagger I can create a separate ocean-deployed terminal ABM or mid-course ABM if you want. I prefer to have them as separate units to create variety and flexibility instead of adding everything into one unit. Even this mod feels a bit excessive in that regard.

I am very surprised that no one has made an aircraft cruiser mod, it feels off in free bird with the kiev being a full aircraft carrier

Could I recommend at least terminal ABMs for what's a major border installation, or would that break balance?

Holy moly, this is perfect for my strategy of creating a wall/border of NMSs along all my waters, and especially among choke points!

Railgun has been added

A railgun addition would be really nice. The game seriously lacks late-tech fixed anti-ship options.

@PhantomCrestTV Definitely let me know your suggestions

thanks

You need to research "Sea-Based Defence" in the Naval Technology research screen. You will then be able to produce the "Naval Defence Platform" in the Bases and Facilities production screen.

also how do i get it?

now all we need is torpedos and anti submarine ballistic missiles.

Absolute god! Been asking for both this and placeable C-RAM for ages! Thank's Man! Can't wait to see what else you have in store! I do have a couple of suggestions if you would like! :)
