If you look at the general discussion threads there are many examples of battles that appear to have been weighted one way or the other, or had some really odd outcomes.  It may just be the result of now being able to intercept in midocean (more intercepts=more combat=more varied outcomes), or it may be that the subroutine needs to be tweaked somewhat.

Both TFs will adjust speed, if possible. But none will stop and wait, so follow distance can not always be maintained when TFs have wildly different speeds. Also an issue when TFs are too far apart.

As a reminder for those who are reporting "combat balance" issues. If you are playing against the AI with the "Very Hard" setting, per the manual: "Computer is given some logistical and combat advantages". So before we send the developers off on a wild goose chase, please include your "AI Difficulty" setting along with your report.

Status: offline 		I don't know if this has been reported before, but in Scenario 6, the December 8 start, the CLs Achilles and Leander are commanded by ensigns.  The correct COs for these ships should be W E Parry for Achilles and S W Roskill for Leander.

Also, some of the Australian DDs were being refit at the start of the war.  Stuart was in the shipyard in Melbourne, Voyager was in Sydney, and Vendetta was in Singapore.  Voyager completed her refit in March 1942, Stuart finished in April 1942, and Vendetta was scheduled to complete in April 1942.  In the event, Vendetta had to be towed from Singapore to Melbourne, and didn't complete refitting until September 1942.

Voyager and Stuart start Scenario 6 with 10 and 15 points system damage, respectively, but that takes just a few days to repair, rather than the 4-5 months actually required.  They should have a lot more damage to start.  Vendetta is undamaged to start in the scenario; she should have about the same damage as Stuart.

One more thing, which is maybe less significant.  The scenario has all the US Asiatic Fleet submarines (except S-36 and S-39, which were at sea) in Manila.  Several of the submarines (Sturgeon, Pike, Shark, Tarpon, Pickerel, and S-38), along with the AS Otus, were actually in Mariveles Bay, on the Bataan penisula, and one sub, Porpoise, was at Olongapo, in Subic Bay, which would also be in the Bataan hex (or maybe the Clark Field hex).  Bataan has just a size 1(1) port in the scenario, but Mariveles and Olongapo were fairly significant ports, and it seems like Bataan's port size should be at least 3.  And of course, Subic Bay became a major USN base after the war, so there was clearly a lot more potential for development than in the game.

FYI - Subic Bay is considered part of the Clark Field hex. The "Subic Bay Defenses" LCU includes two 10" guns.

Are you sure you sank it?

It's probably Fog Of War working as designed.

I've had this happen in testing. FOW in AE can drive you nuts if you are used to knowing things "for certain". First, the "combat report" isn't necessarily accurate. These are the same pilots that could report an oiler and a DD as a cruiser and a carrier..., and sank more "battleships" than either side ever had.

And now you can't get immediate confirmation from the intel screens. It changes as time permits more data to be gathered. The Allies will eventually get it right (code breaking)..., but I don't know if the Japanese player can ever be certain.

So you are saying that the "ships sunk" screen isn't a 'confirmation' of a kill

If you have Fog of War turned on, it is as accurate as the original wartime claims. Maybe more.

Status: offline 		Hopefully this is the right thread to post this in.  I'm a little confused about the database entries for naval weapons (in the normal grand scenario).  I've been using the editor to find values so that I can wrap my head around the difference between various weapons (especially helpful for determining how essential ship upgrades are) and there are plenty of duplicate entries.  My understanding is that the earlier ones are no longer used, but can I assume that the last entry of any device is the one that is used in the AE version?

Thanks.

Exactly... I-122 is listed as sunk on 12/10/41 near Bataan in my game versus the AI. However, she put two torps into the Houston two turns later.

(Yes, I'm playing the darkside against the Japanese AI.)

How did you determine the timing on this? There is no mention of Akagi being hit, nor of the sub firing torpedoes... Are you sure the sub didn't fire first, than get counter-attacked by the escorts?

Not as clear as it could have been but the intent is to say that Naval Support increases the rate per ship but not the total daily handling limits of the port. That is, lighters and longshorement functions in Naval Support can increase the speed at which things move across the pier(s) but not increase the size of the pier(s0.
