The upgrades has another set of filters ("Allowed to upgrade/Not allowed to upgrade) that show those set to Yes, or those set to No.

Where I can find these? I can see only old "Allow/No upgrades for ships on this list buttons on the port screen...

Reattaching the file.

Using latest beta (q1).
There seems to be display bug on the task force creation screen.
Adding previously converted APDs (standard DDs or CL, CA are OK) to a fast transport TF doesn't increase the shown troop and cargo capacity.
When you try to load troops on the created TF, the correct values are shown.

Now in June 1942 I've noticed that the ships due upgrade filter is showing ships due upgrade in 1943 when I click on the "show ships due upgrade" button. Using latest beta (P9)
Anyone else noticed the same thing?

I've encountered a strange thing during resolution of the turn attached to this post - mines at Bataan that just damaged my LSD seems unsweepable. At least, the minesweeper TF that hangs there tried to find them for over a week. Is this a bug?

Setting a patrol area does not satisfy the requirement to 'be in the destination hex or sea hex'.

Would it be possible to allow these groups that re-size (8 planes & 10 pilots) to initially draw a minimum of the pilots required for the next squadron resize (12 planes) so that when Aug 42 rolls around there are sufficient trained pilots? In other words, could the groups that start out at 8 planes be allowed to draw a max of 12 pilots initially to train? This would not impact the too-many-pilots issue you are trying to resolve at end-game, and would allow the training of the number of pilots required in the initial months of the war knowing that in Aug 42 they will re-size to 12. The next re-size in the later stages of the war to 16 would work OK under the new parameters since when you have 12 planes you can have 16 pilots, so you do have the opportunity then to get some more pilots trained up for when that re-size occurs.

hi michaelm,

could you check out this prob? it occurs in all the stock & beta releases.

when a TF arrives or is created in a port, & gets refueled/rearmed (either automatically or manually), it uses a certain # of Ops points. But if that TF is just left to sit (not disbanded or sent somewhere), its TF display doesn't clear the Ops back to 0 on succeeding turns.

In the attached file, TF 42 in San Francisco has been sitting there for weeks, displaying the same 80 Ops.

The ship Ops gets reset twice a turn.

I would say it spending them on something. I'll have a look and see what.

Here is another "port-related" glitch I am encountering with the latest beta....

When I go to the ship repair screen and try to delegate "pierside, repair ship, shipyard", it now takes 16 to 18 seconds for the cpu to register my changes, each...(I timed them)..Just time-consuming.........Love the improvements though..

hi bk19,

someone'll correct me if i'm wrong, but i believe that the sweep behavior michaelm described in post #494 is 'how it works now," he doesn't need to make a change, you do!

check the orders for your MSW TF - just t'other day i was getting exercised that an MSW TF of mine was slacking off its duty in Hong Kong - i admired its TF screen & discovered it was sitting in the hex w/ 'no destination set' & 'do not retire' - i set its destination to 'Hong Kong' & 'retirement allowed', and the TF swept the minefield during the following night turn & set sail back to Haiphong in the day turn.

Time is probably due to the fact the whole repair time has to be recalculated for all ships under repair in the base to get new repair times. It is a factor of number of ships under repair, resources in base, number of cycles it needs to go thru to get the timings.

Before the last build or two, it only re-calculated the repair times of the ship being changed. But the other ships under repair also could have had their times changed by re-allocation of resources, but this was not reflected in more up to date estimates for the other ships. Sometimes clicking on the ship would update the numbers but not always.

It might just be me, but I have noticed that it seems to be faster clicking on the words of the 'Repair estimates' row, than cycling thru the values in the 'Repair allocate' column.

If this is still a problem, then I can revert back to the old method as long as players realize that the estimates can be more wrong than now.

I also would vote for keeping it the way it is. As Bob points out, when you know there are a lot of ship being repaired, that will take a few seconds. I would rather have good info and wait the seconds.

OK guys, I've got what is probably a stupid question about the stockpiling and how it works.

Basically, can I use the stockpiling function to set a port as the main pick-up location for an island IE, will it draw all the resource/oil to the location then let me load it? Or am I wrong in thinking how this works?

What I'm thinking is 1 large convoy to a single port as opposed to a bunch of little convoys to a bunch of ports (easier to protect 1 area).
