One other thing....

Could you allow up to 100 torpedoes to be added to Air HQs at a time. Sometimes at a large airbase during a major battle I want to be sure to have a large surplus "just in case" and it would be a lot easier to have to type in 100 twice and hit enter than to type in 10 twenty times and hit enter each time.

Sure some people might over-request torpedoes but by limiting the amount which can be added to 100 they shouldn't be able to inadvertently run themselves out of supplies by ordering thousands at once by mistake.

No problem her (upgraded from M6 to M7).
Everything seems to be normal.

I suggest you include some more details, like Scenario, Game Date, PBEM or AI, etc. and attach a save.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for the new features. I'm not a big fan of the one above. Now, I have to click each time I want to see what ships need upgrading. The default sets everything to blank. I had a hard time following the threads above that caused you to change the default. But, I've never experienced problems in the past. Now, it's likely that I'll miss knowing there are ships needing upgrades because the default shows a blank screen. It'd be nice if the screen stayed the same from turn to turn, so I don't have to keep clicking each turn. Anyway, it's not a big deal. It's just my opinion.

Bradley,

I'm gonna look when I get a turn in m7 and fire it up... but isn't there a separate button at the bottom toward the right of the display that says something like "show ships due to upgrade"? I had the impression that the change Michael described is the toggle at the top toward the left that filters on ships allowed/not-allowed to upgrade. Hope this helps.

I know the one you're talking about. This one is at the top. You have to have both set to 'show upgradable ships'. I'm used to just clicking on the one at the bottom. Now, I have to click both.

This is a good one. 10 at a time just means extra keystrokes.

With regard to the "Ships Due Upgrades", I find it strange that the new default does not satisfy.
The new default will show ships that are due to upgrade AND have the upgrade option turned ON. Generally, I would have thought you would want to know when the upgrade would happen, and turn it OFF.

I honestly don't see why it is more important to see ships due to upgrade AND have the upgrade turned OFF.

I suppose if you turn all upgrades OFF, then the normal list would be blank. Which the old default could have left the list full.

Oh well, I never expected to please everyone.

I have attached a save so you can see if this is an issue or not.

I split a squadron of Zero's that were 'Carrier Capable' and put them on the CVEs in Hiro to train. Eventually all three of the squadrons (A, B, and C) were converted to 'Carrier Trained'. When these combined back into a single unit, they lost the 'Carrier Trained' designation and went back to 'Carrier Capable'. Carrier trained or not should be based on the pilots, not the squadrons. The pilots did not change so why did the recombing lose the 'Carrier Trained' tag?

Although it would be nice to have fragments of 'trained' remain 'trained' when combined back into the parents, basing carrier training on the pilots is whole 'nother can of worms that would complicate the game greatly once again. We would have to be able to keep track of pilots who were carrier trained, and have training carriers to carry out the training. I think it's best left at the squadron level just for practical reasons.

Fixed Too many old devices could be converted sometimes leading to -ve in pool [MEM]
Fixed TOE upgrades could lose devices as counts were sometimes replaced, rather than added [MEM]
Tweaked Disabled option to stop Light Industry as it is a permament industry like resources (per Andrew Brown) [MEM]
Fixed On turn 1, a mid-turn Allied save can be read by Japan by skipping the password. Only applicable on that one save [MEM]
Added Additional release buttons on the Reserve Pilot screen [MEM]
Added New option to load tenders in port from the ship list screen [DCB]
Changed From a base, Show Upgrade Due screen defaults to 'allowed upgrade ships' [MEM]
Removed Right-click from group PILOT keyword as PLANES is now on screen [MEM]
Tweaked Computer player TOE upgrades are slightly randomized to stop all happening at once [MEM]
Changed Removed Torpedo Ordnance from 'non-Air Hq' land unit's TOE/list so that device is not treated as a device; tallies are stored elsewhere so it is redundant once scenario is loaded [MEM]
(was causing some strange occurances)

I was wondering if this change will effect the ability of 4th fleet, and Southeast fleet HQ's to torpedo enable air-groups with-in their range?

Thanks DP.
