I haven't found any flaws yet, but if it turns out there is one, that would explain all the complaining on the forum!

Oh, the old "unit teleporting" issue - can be changed with the editor.

My pet flaw is that ship crews do not need to eat > no supply consumption for ships (apart from ammo replenishing).

The biggest flaw playing the AI that is likely to affect your game play is the ability to reload a turn when it doesn't work out the way you want to (or is an unmitigated disaster).

In PBEM you pay for your mistakes, permanently.

To spare an already extremely involved game from even more concessions to "realism" that wouldn't significantly add gameplay nuance is not what I would consider a flaw so much as a saving grace!

Where are the WASPS and the WAVES, and the Red Cross Ladys?

This game is definitely flawed!

Flaw? In terms of design, no. On the other hand, it is so geeky that even my own mother mocks me for playing it.

My wife does the same. And she thinks that playing the game is cool compared to making little pixel pictures of aeroplanes and ships for the game. I'm hiding the shame from my parents!

Okay i let you know what the situations is, awhile back i was looking into the Japanese aircraft factories and noticed some of them are incorrect. Couple months ago i though about playing vs. AI again (scen 1) and made it to Jan 1942, samn time Hong Kong fell. I got some popups saying the reinforcements have arrive in vary places. One landed in Wotje Island (Wotje Base Force), so that unit got a free ride all the way to the island without having to transport there.

Some places have barracks and training grounds, for example Regiment was form in Manila and that make sense as long they are Philipinos. There also air groups get placed in front line without having them form up in the mainlands and then transfer to XY locations.

I looked into the Allied Reinforcements, its not as bad as it look. But for the Imperial Japanese really need to be corrected somehow.

Here the screenshot...


The ships is okay for all sides.

Here is a quick primer on the history on the Japanese occupation of Wojte Atoll;

The outbreak of the Second World War, Japan was gradually built a base forming part of the external defense of Japan. In addition, radio stations were built base for seaplanes land airport with two runways on takeoff length of 1052 meters and 1524 and two hangars with a technical background.

To defend the atoll was built firing positions for six 150 mm and six 127 mm guns. After the war began there have been more five coastal guns and six 150 mm 37 mm anti-tank cannons, along with about ninety light anti-aircraft guns and machine guns. In 1943, they were from the damaged ship Goyotsu Maru on strengthening coastal defense ship dismantled in two 120 mm cannons. The island was placed Wojte the radar for early warning against air attack near covering approximately 50 miles (80.5 km).

The crew gradually formed on the atoll in 2103 of Army and Navy, 766 civilian workers, under the command of Captain Nobukazu Yoshimi (of which survived the war only to 1244). The aircraft at the local airport gradually were two squadrons of torpedo bombers aircraft B5N Nakajima Kate and Ajèi D3A Val bombers, Mitsubishi G3M Nell and Mitsubishi G4M Betty (they were used for patrol flights) and some eight hundred and first Flight possessing six to twelve seaplanes Kawaniši H6K , which gradually replaced Type Kawaniši H8K Emily .Now Emily flying boats bombed in the night from 4th to March 5th 1942 the island of Oahu.

So as you can see the way the game treats the build-up of Wojte Atoll, is not exactly historical. But in terms of the ground unit structure of the game, is a close proximation of what would been the basic starting structure of the Japanese base-force.
