I don't know when will they release the pacific map, but I want to know what the map will look like.
I imagine the map will be set on the east and south east Asia, the powers will be Japan, China, Dutch East Indies, British colonies, Australia, America-Philippines, maybe even east russia (Siberia), and other powers, AI nations will be Korea, Taiwan and other small countries.
As for units I personally want to see Japanese units instead of the Axis units which is all German, because there are the allies, axis, and soviets, I want to see something more "asian" in the pacific map.
Finally I don't think America will be on the map, due to the massive distance of the pacific, and only the Philippines will be representing them.
Have any thoughts what the map will be like? Please replay.

I imagine it would be quite like the S1914 map.

You really don't. It would make the stats highly inaccurate. Japanese tanks had such bad armour that American tankers would have to use HE shells rather than AP since the AP shell would go in through the Jap tank and come out the other side doing little or no damage since the armour was so bad.

I know that but stats would be inaccurate. A Type 95 Ha-Go does not compare to a Pz. 35(t) F at all.

Current Anti-Tank guns all have the same stats, current planes all have the same stats. Yes, it'd be innacurate, but the current game also is, relatively speaking

Not really. The 37mm M3 is quite similar to the 3.7cm PaK, the M3 is slightly better but not massively so.

no need for new units to have a new map i guess
anyway I suppose it will de better if playable countries be Japan and it's colonies in manchuria and corea - china - GB burma and GB thailand - french indochina - US philippines -Australia - and ocean until USmidway it gives 6 playable contries
IA's well every think between those countries like netherlands indies -New guinea Sumatra Java ...

Every tech tree is the same.
That is ok for some, maybe even most techs. But definitely weird for some others.
US heavy tanks?
Russian battleships?
Every nation has rocket planes, a V1 and a V2?
Maybe its time to intruduce country-specific tech. Although that would open another can of worms.
PS: Taiwan wasnt an independent country before WW2; it was a Japanese colony.
PS2: It would be weird to have a pacific campaign, without the US.
What if I'm indoctrinated and actually fighting the good guys?

Definitely, but maybe just the western seaboard?

I imagine the U.S. west coast, East Russia, and parts of Alaska will show up on the map. I'd highly doubt they'd exclude the mainland U.S. Just look what they did with the 10 and 22 player maps; the U.S. coast was included as well as parts further inland. All they'd have to do is decrease the width and perhaps the height of the Pacific Ocean.

in order to make de west US coast exist you need a HUGE map

Huge maps are huge fun! Anyway, it doesn't have to be realistic, the 22 map isn't.

The enemy also takes ages to get to you. Currently it takes troops about 2 1/2 days to get from US to France.

if you add US you also can add Siberia and all Australia and New Zeeland which is nice for RP

Good for general gameplay too, those countries would make it quite fun.

Yes, huge maps can be huge fun, or extremely frustrating. Perhaps slightly speeding up naval convoys?

Nope. Then it would be like speeding up convoys for other maps, it just speeds up the game and the US does not get a new advantage.

Idk if someone said this already but I don't think Korea will be AI, correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure Korea was Japanese territory.

Korea, Manchuria and parts of China would be potentially Japanese, I think free China might be an ally of the U.S./Philippines in this map scenario.
