Be SURE to put the pwhexe.dat file in the top level AE folder - it is NEW a
and IMPORTANT.
Level II Update 2.47
https://1drv.ms/u/s!Ap7XOIkiBuUwg74A7TujZK_wdrKG1A
This update contains everything except new art. In particular, there are new
pwhexe.dat and pwzlink.dat files. Please be sure you have these in the top level
AE folder you use for Level II. They may or may not automatically install, depending
on your file structure: the installer assumes a default installation.
Also, if you use a new folder, insure you are pointing at it in any command line
you wrote - or it will point at whatever the old command line said. And it is also
a good idea for a new folder to open the Scenario Editor, select the Aircraft page,
and browse until it finds the ART sub folder under the AE Folder you want to use
for Level II.
Data changes are confined to classes and ships:
1) Numbers of pre war merchant vessels are redirected to Recife, Brazil - with
an earlier date.
2) One class of US Pre war merchant vessels has generally been stripped of armament. A new sub-class was created with no armament. This upgrades to the armed form. At the start of the war, few ships were armed.
3) Ten more USN LSTs were converted to arriving at Gulf Coast (New Orleans).
In addition, two RN LSTs were changed to USN since they never served in RN.
4) Two Texas built Liberty ships were added. One of these is in APA form (USS Davy Crockett).
5) C2 type Liberty ships were redefined and all class members updated. This is because they had two little displacement, to little durability as a result, and too little cargo capacity. This is likely a general problem - only RHS added or modified vessels have proper naval displacements (Navy ships, and indeed all ships from a damage control point of view, are always rated in terms of full load displacement. When that reaches zero, the ship sinks, more or less.) As well, RHS rates a ships cargo capacity in terms of the actual weight it can lift, not some tax oriented, volume measurement (e.g. 100 cubic feet per ton).
6) Early war USN LSTs are armed as they really were in 1943 - with few weapons.
7) RN LSTs were armed as they really were generally. With very few weapons. However, some transfers from USN have USN armament. Sometimes that is early US armament, but more often later full armament. In fact, the weapons were "authorized" but not installed due to availability. Players may update any LST any time they want to in order to get more guns. As well, all Allied LSTs may convert to many other forms when the conversion date arrives. Some are probably unique to RHS - e.g. a late war missile launcher for the Loon (the US copy of the V-1).
8) 19 RN LSTs were redefined, most with RN armament, and most arriving at New Orleans. But two arrive at Eastern USA because that is where RN took over, and one at Aden, because it became British in North Africa. Two were "lost" to USN because they were never in RN.
9) 4 RHN (e.g. Greek) LSTs, were added. They use RN armament. They are classified as Commonwealth and generally serve with RN in the Indian Ocean (along with many other RHN vessels in RHS).
The pwhexe.dat file and pwzlink.dat file were modified, as was the pwzlink documentation file (an Excel Spreadsheet), for technical reasons. These are almost
entirely related to ship behavior in the Arctic region in Winter and Spring seasons.
Mifune checked in! Seems he had a medical setback in February and was essentially unable to see until now. He may be able to help with better map art.
