Hmm... in order to dock, you need to click on the "Dock TF" button... what will the "Do not Dock" option do?

Cheers!

I think that this is what you're seeing:

"Refueling in port causes the TF to “attempt” to dock, up to the Port Docking Maximum." (pag 106)

Very good; adding that to Naval.

Thanks,
fbs

ps: By the way, you realize that by requesting that change, the automatic refuelling will take longer, and you may end up losing a turn to refuel the TFs, right?

I would like to see a "halt/start" button on Allied HI factories as it is the case for the japanese factories.

To be able to stop where i want the use of fuel by allied HI centers as fuel is also used by ships.

I would like to see malaria effects implemented.

There should be some rationale for wanting to occupy malaria-free zones and avoid the verminous fen that is malarial jungle bases. It seems as though a number of players have not seen any malaria effect even with months in small bases in the jungle. This is simply not a reflection of reality. Combat forces on both sides lost quite a bit of strength due to malaria, dengue, yellow fever, scrub typhus and the like. The 'malaria zone' reflects the predominating effect of these disabling diseases.

I request that malaria be reinstated, with the goal of implementation similar to the expected effect of malaria in WiTP. Namely, larger AF/Port sizes and /or HQ presence reduces the effect. This change never really did get implemented into the WiTP model, even though it was a nice idea.

Up with Plasmodium spp.!

Status: offline 		Would it be possible to synchronize the unit detail displays to the filter/sort settings of the higher level diplays? This works somewhat for individual ships, i.e., if the CV/CVL filter is set, the details screen cycles through only CV/CVL (unsorted). Not so much for the ACU and LCU contingent. In fact, on the AC unit detail screen, there are no NEXT/PREVIOUS buttons at all. Unless they are in stealth mode.

Thanks for all the goodly works,

This mostly affects the "round-trippers," so refueling isn't really an issue.

To add to this: perhaps being able to pay PolPoints for better SigInt or Counter SigInt. And as for better SigInt, how about once in a while the orders for a unit (ship, TF, LCU, sub, air unit, LCU) appearing? Yes, this means expanding the code for SigInt/FOW/CounterSigInt in general....

Help me there, dorjun... synchronize which screen with which screen? Unit detail screen you mean the Task Force screen? To keep the ships in the task force screen sorted/filtered the same way as the Ship List screen?

Thanks!

Status: offline 		If set to "Do not refuel", the "Replenish TF from port" is greyed out.  Each time the refueling option has to be changed to allow 'manual' refuel at the home port, then changed back to prevent automatic refuel at destination port. Request that the "Replenish TF from port" button remains active even if "do not refuel" option is selected.

Request for a change to ship withdraw

I keep selecting ships for TFs that need to withdraw. Could you please add a color coding to the ship if it is going to be withdrawn.
When selecting ships for a TF the ships are yellow, if a ship is to be withdrawn have it orange if withdrawing in the next 60 days and red if withdrawing in the next 30 days.

Thanks, Daryl

Status: offline 		Although without radar it was hard to scramble enough fighters before bombing run, consider overwhelming effect in aerial combat.

I am sure that even B17's wouldn't survive if 5 or 10 times more zeroes with adequate experience would attack unescorted fat bombers, and plz dont make me laugh by stating that bombers were so big that Jap fighters did have trouble assuming distance to the target.
'Overwhelmed by Allied numbers, the Luftwaffe lost air superiority. Suffering from chronic fuel problems and a lack of trained pilots it ceased to be an effective fighting force by 1945.' (WIKI)


On other hand more missions should be abandoned if there is no adequate fighter escort or contact was lost during flight, also escort to bombers shouldn't be lost as often as it is.

Huge square formations of B17 flying unescorted without losses against good fighter cover never happened. If we consider loss rate of bombers during day time bombing of '43 in Europe i dont see reason why Japan wouldnt be able to acchieve same thing as Germans did,to make strategic bombing without adequate escort impossible: 'In October 1943 the USAAF had sustained such losses that a temporary suspension of deep penetration raids over occupied Europe became necessary'(WIKI)


edit: 'Formations of unescorted bombers were no match for German fighters, which inflicted a deadly toll. In despair, the Eighth halted air operations over Germany until a long-range fighter could be found; it proved to be the P-51 Mustang, which had the range to fly to Berlin and back' (WIKI)


Overwhelming effect in raids especially on airfields is the key. Question is: Is there enough bombers to push the screen of fighters aside and bomb the target, and Is there enough scrambled fighters to make attacker crying for there life.

Bomber i dont care weather is 2 or 4 engine is a fat slow duck, there is no way u can match it in any way with a small agile fighter that has a focused firepower of 4 or 6 cannons choosing side to attack.

1 on 1 bomber looses 9/10 against any decent www2 fighter that has a decent pilot.

About 20k bombers were lost on allied side (US and GB) in ww2...

Status: offline 		re GUI-1:
I understand this is very difficult to realize. A small and "dirty" way to help could be some kind of paste and copy with the coordinates in the OP-Report and Sigint like this:
You implement a hotkey with a box on screen where you put in coordinates of the map and the screen centers on that location OR if you mark the coordinates in a report the hotkey command copys the coordinates and jumps to that location.

I hope it is clear what I mean.

Thanks

P.S I really think in future patches one priority should be the management of information, (what you need when and where) to shave of some time in the orders phase. It's quite a lot of lifetime to play a game like that.

For example, I am trying to pick up an unrestricted Brit base force in Jesselton with dutch transports flying from Balikpapan. When I click destination after selecting troop transport it tells me I canot move restricted command units because the computer thinks I am trying to move restricted dutch units from Balik to jessle....
