@ davbaker:

Can you reference this thread for post-patch malarial / tropical disease effects being included in the game? This has what I consider to be the final statements on the matter from BigJ62:

http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=2307611&mpage=1&key=malaria�

To summarize: Malarial effects max out at a disruption value of 8, fatigue of ~25. Larger base (port + AF) sizes will decrease the malarial effects by the formulae included herein.

Note: fortification level has no effect on mitigation of tropical diseases.

Thanks Guys,
Feel free to suggest any interesting nuggets to add as you see fit.

Malaria note added.

No problems about reposting/translating any info from my point of view, not sure on any issues re: Matrix etc.

Cheers!

Dave

If there is a Corps HQ present, and the Command HQ is within 2x its range, it provides a bonus of up to 90% of the Assault Value of attacking units.

Question? What if the Command HQ is loaded on an amphib or trans TF w/in 2x range, does the bonus still apply?

Since i see so many ppl stating that tracom doesnt help on pilot exp. I wonder if the following post from michaelm, shouldnt be considered for the faq.

http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=2317995&mpage=1&key=tracom?

There is some behind the scenes action with training of raw pilots and TRACOM.

The number of TRACOM guys can increase the month's EXP rating of the raw pilots.
If the new EXP exceeds the national EXP, then a random number of pilots will 'graduate' early.
When this happens, you get a message "instructors accelerate training of" in the operation report.

In general, this jump is only going to occur in the last month of training, unless you add a huge number of pilots to TRACOM.

A rough guide is: for every 10 in TRACOM (of the correct nationality), the monthly EXP might be increased by one.

Adjustments to the pilot training happens on the first day of the month.
The monthly EXP increase of the raw pilots (ignoring TRACOM effect) is a random amount (-2 to +2).
The new monthly EXP starts out as an average of the pilots in the month and those moving from the previous month.

Very great work!

The only thing i fail to understand is the leader chart (11.1 � CHANGING LEADERS). What skill is needed to get the bonus, or did i miss something there? :)
