If you find further gun issues, send me a PM/Email so I have it and will then go back through and correct.

Good to hear about life settling down job-wise. The RA Team holds you in highest regard. You were there when we first started this and helped SO MUCH. Will always greatly appreciate that Juan.

Bet you will find that sort of issue on any of the 'changed/added' vessels within the Mod. The AA might be endemic since we did so much AA change within the Kaigun. Still...an easy fix though.

This seems to be true for some, but not others. CB Kawachi look alright, CVL Aso does not (triple 10cm/65 mounts and quad 25mm mounts).

Suggest combing through these at some point - its not exactly a game breaking issue, it will just change the way damage is dealt to the mounts mainly.

The gunnery issue though, is going to have some really nasty implications for surface combat.

Will compile a report on what I find.

Thank you for your kind words. Great to see all the great work you and the team have done.

1744 45mm/46 41-K AA Gun
1748 533mm 53-38 Torpedo

For some of these (the DCs and the like), its simple a matter of different load costs or the like, nothing major.

The torpedoes are differenct as from what I can see RA does not implement the DBB torpedo changes, so I presume these are intended.

The allied (mainly above #1640) AA and smaller caliber guns mainly have differences in ceilings and some differences in AA accuracy. Notable, but not a massive issue.

The issue is the Japanese guns 15cm and up - they are anywhere from 1.5-2x more accurate than in DBB, and this is going to have some nasty effects on surface combat.

EDIT:

Here is a report with the aforementioned devices, comparing DBB values (above) and RA value (below) for each device. It is in html format.

Differences are highlighted in red text.

GREAT! Thanks for the info and help here. Catching this is fantastic.

There is no consistency within the differences on that chart. Some things are changed while others are not. I know we fiddled a few of the guns but nothing too bad. FatR caught a bit of this prior to 6.0 going out and we corrected what he found. THIS CHART provides an excellent, printable worksheet so I can do the corrections. Problem is I don't know which are honest mistakes, which are purposefully done, and which come from JWE's work/help

I know RA is an amalgum of DaBabes and our work. There have been a number of times where John (JWE) has taken the RA work and merged it with Babes or vice versa. Might account for some of the weirdness. We'll get to work on this when I get home from work tonight.

Thanks Again!

Juan has the current game files and is updating the database to fit along the Babes standard. Should fix all issues there.

Once he has done that and sent the files back I shall go through the entire Kaigun and new Allied ship additions and fix the number of guns/turret problem.

Everything can be done without interfering with existing games (Thanks Goodness).

Thanks John. And Thank Goodness is right. I'm at feb 2,1942. don't wish to go back.

Oh, bye the way, I have a two sub TF of IJN subs sitting off the coast of OZ and they have been there for about 6 to 7 weeks, in the same spot. Just wondering if this could be an issue. Let me know if you need a save or picture or whatever. I have emptied 4 destroyers and several aussie aircraft on them.
Cheers

OK. Got the work done. Files are uploaded to the RA Site.

Changes:
1. All guns 6" and higher are brought fully into Babes standard.
2. FIXED some Design issues with Ship Classes (as detailed earlier).
3. Moved the French around A BUNCH!

It seemed to me with how the French were initially placed that many of them served as nothing but extra targets for the Japanese advance. With Michael's help we moved shipping around and placed a lot of ships at Balboa, some at Tahiti, and a few to Mombasa.

The French Naval Squadron now begins at Balboa where it can be sent to Tahiti and arrive without issue. This makes it less of a sacrificial lamb while at the same time handling complaints from some of the Japanese players about a huge increase in warships in the South Pacific. There ARE lots of ships in the South Pacific but we've chosen to move the surface ships while leaving the AS and 5 French SS.

Moved the Free French HQ down to a Corps style HQ and it is now Tahiti. Tahiti gets a bump of the Port going to Sz-2 and we've added some fuel and supply. This place can now rapidly become a major base in the South Pacific. The tools are provided for your use gentlemen.

All existing games can have this change made without causing issues.

THANKS go to Juan and Michael for their help!

John, Please see post 524 above. Also, would it be possible to merge RA with IronBabes (30c). I really like your Extras, and the aggressiveness of Ironbabes. The two would be GREAT.

John, can you take a look at Toho xAk class? Either I'm missing something or it is impossible to convert cargo to troop capacity.

I think I got it.

quote:

works with any Japanese xAK or AK with 3000 tons or more of bulk cargo capacity.

Toho now has 2626 capacity, hence no -t conversion. Which is a bit of a bother for Japanese players, because the only 14kn class that can be converted to troop carriers is Husimi and you only get 25 of them. Perhaps Toho can be increased to 3001 in the next edition?

The reduction across the board on shipping is TOUGH! I do not have enough to take the entire world now and I don't like it. Just have to settle for HALF the world.

Seriously though...BBW it does take some serious getting used to in using the merchies for supply--resources--transport work. Takes some real planning. Thankfully your opponent is my Economics Minister and he helps when I get a wee bit carried away in this area.

John, Small issue with what I thought was a static base force unit. See picture. There are no Engineer units in this unit. I thought there was.

Port Hueneme is designed as the training base for the Seabees in Babes. I believe John has kept that paradigm in RA. Soon, you will have more engineer units at Port Hueneme than you will know what to do with.

You ever been to Port Hueneme? Even today I think you might possibly be able to sqeeze 4 or 5 VC2 alongside Port Road, but there still ain't no cranes, and no tracks, and not much for roads, and Channel Islands Harbor was a looong way into the future.

Ciao. JWE

John, Sorry to put this, but you need to know. The art is also missing for BC Strasbourg and DD L'agile. Along with the ones indicated in post 528 above. All french. Also, I know the Port Hueneme is a training base for See Bee's, but there use to be a static unit with engineers in it. not a big deal but was just wondering about that. Also, please read post 527. Thanks for your hard work.
