ORIGINAL: Onime No Kyo You mean that hulls 10, 12, 16, 18, etc dont have names? What does that do for anyone? He's talking about 2x3's choice to not include these hulls in the PC game. The only way the US player can get them in WitP PC is to first get his earlier CV's sunk. The hulls were historically built and renamed during construction after some of the sunken US CV's. But they would have appeared historically even if no US CV's were sunk since they were already under construction when the losses took place, but WitP PC vaporizes them unless/until you get some other hulls sunk first. In my PBEM game, I carefully husbanded my CV’s so I could start an early counter-offensive in 1943. Now I have no CV’s queued to show up as reinforcements in 1943 so if any of my early CV’s get sunk early on in 1943 I’m hosed till 1944. It would be nice to have those hull numbers scheduled to appear as they historically would have in 1943 just in case I take some early 1943 losses in CV’s, but no luck for me. The net effect is it will probably make me far more cautious than I want to be during my counter-offensives. I want to take some risks but the down side basically shuts me down for 1 whole game year so over-caution will probably rule my play until at least late 1943 slowing my counter-attack way down. Jim
