Maybe I missed something but is the only practically way in-game to see if an LCU is overdue with its TOE upgrade is to check the TOE row on the ground unit list?
If so could the sorting be checked because units with 0 delay aren't sorted instead they are just scattered over the list and hard to find.

Something quite strange happened, a ships was sunk but without being hit.
I checked thru every combat report and although two attacks on TFs in Singapore where flown none hit any ship, despite that the OpsReport shows me "AM Toowoomba is reported HIT"(that message wasn't shown as I watched the turn) and the ship list shows me "Sunk by 60 kg GP Bomb on turn 35 at 50,84 near Singapore"(sinking was reported in the second SHIP CREWS PERFORM DAMAGE CONTROL phase).
Only thing I found was that right before the hit message in the Opsreport the same ship reports "AM Toowoomba has spotted a Japanese Fighter at 50,84", could this "fighter" have attacked & sunk the Toowoomba?

I have a query rather than a bug regarding the ease of moving large amounts of supply between distant bases via very poor terrain.

In the opening release of ae it was near impossible to move supply by land from india to burma and from burma to china. This seemed very realistic as in reality the terrain between burma/india is thick jungle with just a few muddy tracks. Supplies and goods were shipped by sea to rangoon.

The more recent patches have allowed supplies to flow automatically from india to burma and then from burma to china - in very large amounts eg tens of thousands of supply points. This means I never have to ship supply by sea into burma very unrealistic and in china I can supply all my troops and bases quite easily. You can see this in my current pbm game. Chunking has recently gained around 50k supplies drawn from rangoon. save pbm attached.

Is the supply draw system working as planned and if so is it allowing supply to flow too easily over impassible terrain ? Also are too many supply points being allowed to move in this way ?

Any chance of an increased pilot limit in a future patch?

Maybe this has been addressed...but I just downloaded this beta...been using the most recent patch prior to this. Everytime I open the beta it will NOT open in full screen. I still see the min/full/exit symbols at the top and half of the bottom is cut off (goes outside of my screen) and can't see the base info at the bottom...
If I need to post a screenshot I will...just let me know how.
Thanks.

This is the resource/supply movement between bases for that turn. I don't see that movement.
1 Chungking receives 13 supply from Neikiang (99), store = 70736 req = 5623
1 Mandalay receives 24 supply from Rangoon (99), store = 1052 req = 351
1 Meiktila receives 11 supply from Rangoon (99), store = 737 req = 246
1 Prome receives 100 supply from Rangoon (99), store = 257 req = 53
1 Taung Gyi receives 18 supply from Rangoon (99), store = 770 req = 257
1 Toungoo receives 13 supply from Rangoon (99), store = 800 req = 267
1 Pegu receives 4010 supply from Rangoon (100), store = 20598 req = 3182
2 Magwe receives 500 oil from Rangoon (91), store = 10000 req = 1000
3 Rangoon receives 3000 oil from Magwe (91), store = 7000 req = 1000

The path for resource movement from Rangoon to Chungking can be traced through the rail/road network mainly.
It's length is not affected by any of the beta patches. The only patch change was to extend the supply length for resource movement once every 7 days to go one or two hex to cater for a path tracing hitch.

1. The Burma Road is showing as open despite the Japanese controlling virtually every base in Burma. I ran a turn with Tsuyung set to stockpile supplies and it seems to be receiving the 500 supply point bonus.

A supply path can be traced to Ledo from Tsuyung.
I changed the hotkey 5 to use the same setting as for the Burma Road, and found that the path is going across non-road, no-rail hexes.
According to the manual, it is suppose to follow roads and rails.

When I checked the code, it is not limiting the path by the requirement for road/rail.

I have changed it to the stated condition and it now follows the road/rail network.
As a result, the road is now closed.!
-----------------------
But even when the path is clear of enemy units, it is not possible to trace a road/rail path to Ledo from Tsuyung.
I don't think we can change this to a road/rail network only.

I really liked the supply trace numerical values with the original implementation of the "5" key, is this deactivated - and now only black indicators?

In a PBEM game, the numbers become black dots. There was some concern that seeing the numbers end before they become zero would give away positions of enemy units. With the 'dot', you can't easily tell if the same path ended normally or because of enemy roadblock.
