World War 2 Lite Custom Campaign

WW2:Lite is a campaign about classical big gun ship combat heavily inspired by World War 2. The campaign is populated by 8 custom factions with their own unique ships made by our community ship builders. (faction placment similar to Neter for familiarity, but map is different) Ship building is simplified for that classic WW2 feel, and block counts are lower than Neter for better game performance. There are some changes from the stock FtD campaign to create that World War 2 era feel: Long range radars haven't been invented, so spotter planes are need to spot the enemy. Aircrafts above an altitude of 300m will be able to spot enemy fleets on the strategic map before they can be engaged, but surface ships will be blockaded by the time they spot the enemy. Be sure to take the spotter plane fleet with you on your venture, and set its altitude to above 300m on the strategic map by right clicking and hold-dragging on the map. For the most part, World War 2 naval battles were fought without radars, reliable radars had been absent from warships as late as the Battle of Coral Sea of 1942. Some blocks like shields and lasers are disabled to create a World War 2 feel. Advanced cannons will be the only weapon. Missile blocks are locked even for torpedoes because guided missile components like IR seekers can not be disabled. Torpedoes are simulated in this campaign by cannons with an skipping warhead, which work pretty well. You can find this setup on ships such as the Type 249 Destroyer, the Determination Class destroyer, and the Fortitude class heavy cruiser. *Hydrofoils are disabled because they weren't around at the time of World War 2, so ships have to be floated and made stable the hard way, by using bouyancy and weight distribution, just like how real WW2 ships had gun turrets low on the deck to lower the center of mass for stability.
