What can we expect for the 'orrible 'uns and the Gentlemen Renners in part 2?
The Yankees get a New York-class BB and something called a "Patriot"-class CA, so what do they look like, and what is the LFN/IGN counterpart?

We're working up our press release and details about the classes. The LFN will likely not see anything new (well...perhaps 1 thing...but that's a secret), the IGN will be bringing out a well known big gun and at least 1 surprise...if we can get it done..2.
The USA has the biggest additions since they went without before.
LFN will have the most prominent place in the story...

There are a hundred little things that would enhance the game and if they do 15 or 20 of them I'll be thrilled.
In my experience making suggestions to game developers is productive. My first game was "Chuck Yeager's Advanced Flight Simulator" (Electronic Arts) which I played on an 8088 off a 360 floppy to a hercules monochrome monitor. I remember writing and suggesting that the next chapter include the X-15 and Space Shuttle and they were included. I anticipated a Yeager Combat Simulator because he was a fighter pilot and suggested allowing planes of different eras to fight each other and that was included. (If you get low and slow in an F4 Phantom in front of a good WWII German fighter you've got a problem.)

80-90% of the features included in every patch to Engima has come from a player suggestion.

The only game i bought for the 8088 was the Yeager flight sim (my mother was a pilot before she changed gears and had 7 babies). Seeing that game in it's card board sleeve in a book store is what pushed me over the edge to get my first computer.
I'm a simulator fan more than a gamer. I stayed with flight sims until MS trian simulator came out and then I got to drive steam locomotives (my grandfather was a railroad man).
The first sim i pined for as a child was something for sea battles. I passed up everything that came on the market until Enigma.
I've bombarded East with ideas because I've been waiting a long time for a game like this. Enigma is a keeker but there are endless possible refinements without losing the focus of the game.

Yeager flight sim, Yes Old Chucks Had that and loved it.
I am more of a gamer than a simer but back in the old days they were almost the same thing LOL.
I play a lot of anything online at the moment MMOGs FPS anything thats got some human involvement in it, much more fun than strickly AIs.

We are rapidly heading off topic, ladies and gentlemen. The topic being, what Cruisers will the League and IGN receive in chapter 2?

I think it is pretty clear from East and the articles: none...
But I can wait. We all have waited this long, it won't kill us to wait a little more.
