Did that make it to AE?

My understanding is that it's simulating the fact that USA production was not maxed and could have produced more carriers if there was a need.

The Allies were cheated out of some key 1943 CVs that they didn't get if they didn't suffer early losses

The Allies got way too many cruisers though; CL ADELAIDE, a useless Aussie CL, would re-spawn as a Baltimore or Cleveland; it was actually worth getting ADELAIDE killed early-on for an easy reinforcement. Same with the Omahas.

Thank goodness Respawn is dead, IMO.

Status: offline 		reinforcements for allied CV and CA are now fixed and include every historical ship, including the historical reorders. Should you make a mod where you want it, in Scenario tab of Editor at bottom, select 'use respawn.' Note you cannot expand or contract included classes or apply to the Empire. It is what it is.

I dont look at this option as good or bad...just available.

It was primarily a mechanism to simulate the renaming of already planned CV's to that of the lost unit in question. In Pacwar the naming scheme (and production schedule) was fixed so it was possible to have a USS Yorktown afloat and a USS Yorktown II afloat in one game. Kinda cracked the Fourth Wall to use a crude metaphor.

It was partially eliminated due to serious bitching during stock days about the historical nature/game impact of the accelerated production of CV's.

Status: offline 		If you look at the list of ships building, all of the real-life CVs and CA/CLs that were named after sunk ships are listed as "Yorktown II" or "Canberra II" and so on. However, up until these ships are completed, you can go to the ship data screen (in the game, not in the editor) and change the name of the ship to anything you want, including the names of ships that are sunk in your game. This seems to accomplish the historical accuracy the developers are striving for much better than the idea of "respawning." At least IMO.

You can change the name of the ship in the ship data screen in the game? How?

Note that if you let the ship arrive on the map you will not be able to change the name.
