Let's start with the colossal British "Project Habakkuk" Supercarrier which its hull is made of iceberg and have the ability to carry heavy bombers.

Because of how big the Habakkuk was if I did add it to D-day I'd probably make it airfield structure that you place on the water and build aircraft on instead of a usual aircraft carrier unit.

CVA-58's in-game bomber would be the "Curtiss Wright P-558" or you prefer the A-3 Skywarrior to be launched from the CVA-58?

The P-558 was canceled in favor of the A-3, but when they made a scale model of the CVA-58 they used the P-558 tho. So it would seem fitting to use the P-558 with the CVA-58.

With that said I dont plan on adding the CVA-58 or Habakkuk to D-day as they're to large and impractical for the game.

It's a fake, the H44 was the largest H-Class design and it was only a few meters bigger then the Bismark. The size of that "H45" is beyond impractical, its about twice the size of the largest ship ever built...

Will China be able to train "Suicide Bombers"? (By the way, It's the Nationalist China who used Suicide Bombers against Japanese tanks, Not the Communists).

How about adding this "Zhang Zongchang Tank"? It's China's first tank, Built during the Post-Qing Dynasty "Beiyang Era" (1912-1928), It's performance in the game would be similar to New Zealand's "Bob Semple"
(Although the tank is actually designed by a Czech and crewed by Soviet defectors).

You can answer me about the "Zhang Zongchang Tank" at anytime.

The post-war West Germany is going to use the "Breguet Atlantic" anti-submarine plane as a bomber (Like how the post-war JSDF *Japan Self Defense Force* use the P2J Neptune sub-hunter as a bomber) but you know? There is already a huge VTOL bomber aerodyne called "Lippisch Transcontinental Bomber" designed by Alexander Lippisch when he was living in USA after "Operation Paperclip".

Breguet Atlantic is faster & cheaper than the "LTB" but needs an airfield to build,land & rearm
While the "LTB" doesn't need to land & rearm and can only be acquired from the crate (although it's built from the factory in the "Total War" mode)

As i imagined, The "LTB" would works basically the same as "Kirov Airship" from the original Red Alert 2 except that it's less durable against any anti-aircraft weapons, How would you implement it to work in D-Day?

The Zhang Zongchang tank is already on the to-do list.

I'm not planing to give West Germany any bomber aircraft, they will have to rely on ground attack aircraft & artillery.

The "LTB" was one of several concept illustrations made my Lippisch based on his aerodyne design. None of them were real designs, just simple drawings made for magazines to show what might be possible in the future.

The idea of adding the LTB to D-day as a "Kirov" like unit is an interesting thought, if I did add it tho it would be for America as they would have funded and build it.

The cut off date is 1960, I will only add something past that if its necessary to fill a gap in the main tech tree.

Will you add this unknown French land battleship created by an artist named "Stan Mott"? Although there is already a real life French project of a land battleship comparable to the German "Landkreuzer" (I forgot its name but there's already a drawing of it) that is designed to patrol around the "Maginot Line".

It's not a real military project, just the random imagining of an American cartoonist.

Stan Mott also drew things like this desert seaplane carrier.

And this race car tank.

OK, What about this "SNCASO Dever" VTOL Interceptor? (Also should this & any other VTOL fighters in D-Day be able to land anywhere by pressing hotkey "D" (Deploy) to be repaired by ground repair vehicles & to avoid enemy fighters & anti-aircraft weapons for awhile?).

The Dever would fit into D-day but I have lots of other units that are a higher priority at the moment.

In an early test version of D-day all fighter aircraft could land by deploying so they could then be repaired by a repair vehicle. The feature was removed tho as only a few sides have repair vehicles and it was to much of a hassle to micro manage.

I might look into other ways in which fighters can be repaired in the future tho.

I know that this one is too modern but your "Girls und Panzer" line-up wouldn't be complete without this tank, So Will you add the Type 10 "Hitomaru" from GuP as an "only modern tank in the game" that can be only acquired from special crates? Its fast and armed with a powerful gun but its armor protection of all sides is so weak, Because the tank is mainly designed for urban warfare.

Last time i was mentioning "Maginot Line", So will you add this British land-battleship called "Moveable Maginot"? It has loudspeakers,Variety of big guns,Can load/unload infantries,vehicles & fighters. (And should it be able to heal infantries & repair vehicles loaded inside? Also should fighters & helicopters be able to land & becomes loaded in this land-battleship?)

The "Moveable Maginot" artwork was made for a propaganda pamphlet in 1941 and wasn't a real design, but it would fit into D-day tho as a British equivalent of the the German P-1000 and Soviet Tank Grotte 1000t super heavy tanks.

It could be made as a giant "Battle Fortress" that could load lots of infantry that would fire from it. Or it could be given multiple guns but wouldn't be able to carry infantry or units.

Units cant be healed when being transported by another unit.

It could be made to spawn aircraft like an aircraft carrier, but aircraft cant be manually loaded into another unit.

The are much more important Australian tanks like the AC1 Sentinel or Yeramba that should be added to D-day instead.

The "Puckridge’s Land Battleship" was another doodle done by some random person, the design is extremely impractical and was quickly rejected. If I added it to D-day it would be a giant box that takes up half the screen and can't shoot any thing.

The X-7 was designed as an infantry weapon, the Germans didn't have any plans to use it on vehicles.

Even if the idea of Flying Boats doesn't seems to work in D-Day, Would you still like to add the gigantic "Kawanishi KX-03" flying boat?

PS: There is a vehicle in a Red Alert 2 Mod named "Mental Omega" called "Drakuv APC" that can heals the infantries who are loaded inside the vehicle, Can you pulls the same thing in D-Day too?

It turns out that Lyon's design in World of Warships isn't historically accurate at all as the image below shows the Lyon's original design from 1913, So would you still add it to the game anyway? ((And don't forget to answer me about the Isaacson Fighter too).

The "Isaacson Asymmetrical Fighter" is an interesting design but I need to make Sweden's main aircraft before I start adding any extra ones.

The Lyon is a bit to old for D-day.

I plan to add flame-throwing infantry to several sides in the future.

And here is the another Thai SPAAG "Type 77", Although this one cannot attack ground enemies and have rear-facing gun, So should it works the same as the British "Archer" tank destroyer where it drives backward all the time in-game, Or mobile "deployable" AA Gun like how the "Juggernaut" works in "Tiberian Sun"?

The 75mm Type 77 was a towed anti-aircraft gun and not a SPAAG. The image you posted tho is (as the caption states) a 10cm Type 94 howitzer towed by a 4-ton tractor.

Towed weapons in D-day are used as base defenses, as I'm not going to add Thailand as a playable side in D-day adding either the Type 77 or Type 94 would be pointless.

If you want to make units suggestions for countries that are not playable in D-day then the unit has to have some sort of historical importance or unique design.

The Type 76 for example was Thailand's main armored vehical during WW2 and is the first ever tracked SPAAG, this gives it some historical significance and a reason to be in D-day.
