Auto assigning ships to a new TF you create - 8/14/2004 4:22:12 AM

Status: offline 		Hi there. There are a few things I don't get, and this is one of them...

At one point in the tutorial, I could create a TF at my base... Lets say a TF with Escort as task.
And the computer it self would assign a few appropriate ships to it.

Same with "air escort", or however it's called. It would assign a few carriers to the TF, allong with a number of destroyers and stuff.

But then I restarted the game, and guess what?!
The computer won't assign any ships anymore by it self.

Like is this a bug, or...?

Anyways. I'm reading about this auto TF ship selection and I guess there is a bug. Cause it doesn't work all the time.

He's not talking about the auto-supply system. When you create a new TF one of the options in the screen where you select mission type is "Automatic Ship Selection". I believe this is what he is referring to.

Personally, I've never used it so I have no idea about actually fixing the problem.

Status: offline 		yes, I have had this too, though I do think they know about it.

when I first got the game, I could do everything in the manual, went to sleep, came back and the auto-TF option wasnt even there, and no way to do it, have never had one with the allies at all.

But I bet it won't in a minute, when I start the game up again.


BTW
I really love these kind of games.
I remember having a game like this on the SNES I think.
Of course this one is much more advanced.

Status: offline 		I'm not sure if it was for the SNES or the NES. I had them both so NES is possible too.
PTO...sounds right

I loved that game.
I love this one even more. But I have sooooo many questions about this game.
Especially about transports and support.

All that proves is that you've started the program.

More seriously, there has been several discussions about loading ships. If you run a search on some appropriate terms you will probably find more posts/threads than you want to think about.
