Littleike,

Using this advice VERY loosely...
Port size 1,2,3 = 1,000 load for ships +/- variables.
Port size 4,5,6 = 2,000 load for ships +/- variables.
Port size 7,8,9 = 4000 load for ships +/- variables.

Assuming you have 5 AK's (3000 capacity) in a TF and load at a size 5 port you can average 400 supplies loaded for each ship per turn. It would take 7 days to fully load the TF of course plus/minus the factors of naval support, disruption at port etc.

There are experts on here that could break it down by ship type and so on, and I would trust thier information MUCH MUCH more than mine, but I have found it a pretty good fast n loose guesstimate.

Thank you Michael for the response.

Does it matter if the game started before this particular patch?

I still see bunch British Combat Engineer squads which has expired for 12 months in my game.

Thanks Koniu,

I see that option is on and my game version is 1.7.11.23h

So now I can only wait for them to convert slowly, right?

Yes. If You are playing allies after six months squads will slowly convert to last available version(only squads. Devices, guns, vehicles not covert).
If You are playing Japan old devices(tanks, guns, radars) will slowly convert back to armament or vehicle points.

Can I apply the patch to a game I started with the official version? Can I continue to play my game against the AI or does the patch only work for PBEM? Are the game changes significant enough that I'm going to have to learn a completely new game if I apply the patch? I'm just getting the hang of the official version. I don't want to have to start over as it's taken me almost 3 months of daily play to get to May 1942.

Thanks.

Hi Michaelm,

It looks like Kates can use the 800kg bomb in place of a torpedo while flying port attacks (there might be some checks/rolls that need to be made also?).

I am wondering if the 800kg bomb can be used during Naval Attack missions? I've used Kates attacking warships (BBs and CVs) and in the three missions flown recently they've only used 250kg bombs while flying the Naval attack mission. Maybe there is a roll they are failing?

I guess my thought is that if the Japanese CVs have 800kg bombs stored away for Port Attacks, it would seem to me that they'd arm Kates with those same 800kg munitions if they are going after Big Boys & Carriers.

Can you share the rules involved in access to the 800kg bombs for Kates and perhaps some thoughts on any in-game restrictions in current access to that bomb?



Thanks much,

Mike

Hello Michael. One minor but quite annoying thing about how ship repairs are handled is that ships with a single point of major engine or flotation damage must manually be put into a shipyard. This tends to result in dozens of ships with 1pt of damage that they have acquired while at sea piling up in ports and spamming up the operations log. Could it be made possible that if a ship, at the end of a turn, is in a port with a shipyard that has enough room to take it, and has only 1pt of major engine or major float damage, without having any other damage, can have a chance to repair the 1pt without user intervention? It would cut down on tedious clicking for the sake of clicking quite a lot, I think.

(I suppose it's possible that this already happens and I simply haven't paid attention to individual ships enough to notice, but then if that's the case I wouldn't know...)

In a sufficiently large port ships with one point of engine damage should not need to be put in the shipyard. Ports size 7 or larger can repair up to 5 points of engine or major floatation damage while in Pierside.

On the download screen the file is named 'k' rather than 'm', but appears to be the right one as it was only downloaded 2 times before me.
