Fuel or ammunition for ships?

[FrancoisPhilidor]

Hi,

would it be possible to give ships fuel and turn harbours into sth similar to airfields?
Or to somehow simulate that ships have expended all ammunition (reload cooldowns after 10 shots)?
So that ships will have to return to port after major engagements, to add some more realism.
Because right now once you win a major naval battle, you can just keep pressing on, and the other player cannot recover anymore.

Although for that maps would have to be changed as well. Right now most maps are too small-scale and distances don't play much of a role unfortunately.

Any thoughts on feasibility and desirability of such mechanics?

I asked for this during the original beta. I do not know if it is possible in the current game system.

Oh wow.
It seems the Aristocrats are done with Order of Battle and busy with Starship Troopers. I actually wrote them an email recently to praise Order of Battle (since I'm quite new), and to ask if any version 2 is planned. But no answer from them. Well, game creation takes a lot of energy, I understand..

Back in the day I created a couple of custom scenarios for Panzer Corps.
i took another look at the PC2 editor recently and was surprised to see that there was no apparent restriction on map size. I could create at least 300x300 maps and I do have some really large master maps available. For instance Holland at 300 something. Hm.....

I'd be careful with large map sizes. I don't know if you know the game empire earth? The maximum size is 400x400, but it already ruined two of my scenarios when I tried to make such a big map. Sometimes it just crashes.
The developers should have tested it, and not included it in the editor, if it crashes.
Not sureif it's just because of the game empire empire, or whether maximum map sizes are a problem in any games.

And how is Panzer Corps 2 actually? Many people say the plane and ship mechanics are not as good as in Order of Battle
