Yes and no. We have no "trainer" aircraft per se, but there are squadrons with the training functionality.


What properties or capabilities/limitations in game will an air group have if you check the "trainer" box?

For more info, please go to the Air thread.

I am not seing in editor the tonnage limits for ships and ship size in Ports? is that a hardcode example 6 port size means XXXXXXX amounts of tonnage with size limit of XXXXXt

And you won't. They are hard coded. They are not in the editor. There will be a table in the manual.

Please let Brother Terminus do his thing and stop pulling things off-point. Thank you.

As for the squadron thing, nothing keeps you from doing that in stock, and the same goes for AE. A squadron is set as 12-36 aircraft, but there's nothing to stop you setting squadron X at 6 aircraft maximum. Why'd you want to is another thing.

20,000 total, with no set ranges or number for nations.

Thanks again guys and keep up all your great work (and please ignor those who press for a faster release). I have seen the quality of all your hard work and am more than willing to wait for AE since it will most likely end my future socializing.

Probably best I keep my attention her way til I got a good reason to get into trouble!

First off, aircraft. In the attached screenshot, we have the B5N2 Kate. Most of it is pretty self-explanatory, but there are a couple of things I want to explain.

First off, you see that the aircraft appears to come pre-installed with MAD and radar when it becomes available in April 1942. However, this is not the case. Instead, those devices do not appear until the devices themselves become available in 1944. In-Game, they will be greyed out until they become active.

Secondly, in the bottom right corner, you see that we have added the ability to enter specific ranges for any aircraft, with or without drop tanks. Very useful, and less difficult to find than you'd think.






probably an uber dumb question
but the new hexes are 30 nm ?

the ranges given for the kate all make it 38 nm , ie 27 hexes 1075 nm = ~ 40 nm /hex ?

I doubt it T, some modder will want to fill 120% of the available slots with some pet items.

Just for clarity, the new hexes are 40 nautical miles (46 statute miles).

Sanity is over rated anyway.

If one were to do a mod where the two Naval Treaties were never signed, I could see using a lot of ships slots...but I doubt all of them.

               I noticed while reading the info for the editor that there is a mix of sizes ie Metric & Imperial, I think all info for this time period should be in standard Imperial 4" Guns, 18" Guns etc not cms ?
