Just curious, is there any consideration being given to adding a new motor torpedo boat and submarine or any new maritime AI assets to the Odessa module?

Apparently, the Romanian Navy had a number of UK built Vosper MTBs harassing Russian merchant and naval traffic during the siege as well as an Italian built submarine (Delfinul). The MTBs at least could serve double duty for people owning the Normandy module and it seems like the sub played an important part in the siege as it forced Russian convoys and ports to mount anti sub patrols and escorts tying down critical units as well as in the recon role as it seems like it spotted a surprise Russian attack and as a result the attack failed and suffered losses and some heavy damage.

An axis destroyer! Romania operated a few in the black sea. And when we ask for things what about a german and soviet skin for our infantry? 😀

From my perspective as a mission builder, smaller boat types used in river crossings or for landing troops would be most useful, like German assault boats or Soviet DB landing craft.

Of course I wouldn't mind if we get a Soviet cruiser or Romanian destroyer, but I guess that's unlikely.

One thing that was always interesting to me was the use of wood planking for "corduroy" parking and taxiing and perhaps even runways made of wood.  

Would this be too much to add to aircraft shelters for the mud season?

Hi there, I've been really confused as of late since there are people confirming the G.50 and the Buffalo could be in the works, could anyone point me in the right direction to this info if it's true ?
