Publisher 'Eidos' has just announced that 'two new download packs' are shipping in July for their Battlestations: Pacific. Featuring six new units and 18 new pieces of nose art, the Mustang Pack allows players to customise their battles in both single and multiplayer modes. Amongst the units, players can take to the skies in the legendary US P-51 Mustang bomber escort, a late entry to the Pacific campaign but one which made its mark in Europe as a deadly force; or control the seas with the US Navy's Alaska Class, giving the upper hand with a large and heavily armed 'cruiser killer'; or the Super Yamato Class, a huge behemoth of a ship which, had it left the drawing board, would have outclassed the Yamato in every way with the potential to be the most powerful battleship in history.

Gamer Limit writes: Because gamers love nothing better than hot chicks, any promotion material for a title involving scantily clad glamour models is sure to inject nothing but the word want into millions of potential customer veins. In turn, this will obviously send hordes of bleary-eyed zombies flocking to their nearest game store to pick up the product in question. That's the mantra of Eidos and and Warner Bros. right now, anyway. They've decided to delve into the completely relevant world of sexy women in order to sell PC and Xbox 360 tactical WWII blaster Battlestations: Pacific.
Battlestations: Pacific offers one of the most authentic gameplay experiences with over 100 air, sea and undersea units to master: fighters, bombers, kamikaze planes and subs, aircraft carriers, destroyers, submarines, battleships and more. Each unit is recreated with incredible visual detail and comes complete with a full damage model that brings the battle to life. AA fire can rip planes to pieces, with wings and tails sheering off while carefully placed bombs or shell fire can pierce the hulls of even the largest ships, causing engines to stall, fuel stores to catch fire, magazines to explode and ultimately ships to break apart.
