I didn't know until recently that WITP modeled Spanish-Armada era fire ships: [:D] [image]local://upfiles/18431/1E206DE5CD9A4D7DB6F4C608D53F75F5.jpg[/image]

Texas D -> RE: Fire Ships? (6/3/2007 12:00:43 AM)
Thats a nice fleet you got there [:D]

ctangus -> RE: Fire Ships? (6/3/2007 12:10:21 AM)
It's a burning and/or sunk fleet! [:D] Sigint told me, correctly, that there was only 1 IJ base force defending Gasmata. So I decided to take it on the cheap with essentially no pre-invasion bombing. I did take it on the first assault but that d@mn base force scored a ton of hits against my shipping. Lesson learned...

How in the heck did you get over 100% fire? That's one heck of a conflagration. Bill

burn baby burn![sm=sterb032.gif]

MkXIV -> RE: Fire Ships? (6/3/2007 4:50:52 AM)
Looks like that while it is impossible to start a fire storm in a city, it is possible to do it on a ship! [:D]

Mynok -> RE: Fire Ships? (6/3/2007 6:28:28 AM)
Sinking candles. Who would've thought. [:D] [:D]

RUPD3658 -> RE: Fire Ships? (6/3/2007 6:30:00 AM)
It's an Allied ship so it will probably survive anyway. [;)]

BrucePowers -> RE: Fire Ships? (6/3/2007 7:57:56 PM)
Are fireships as useless in WITP as they are in my Napoleonic naval wargames?[:D]

saj42 -> RE: Fire Ships? (6/3/2007 9:13:23 PM)
I wouldn't like to be a member of the 3 NZ Cav Bde on AP Koolama - 100% fire has got to be bad for one's health. That ship is anything but 'Kool' [:D]

Sonny II -> RE: Fire Ships? (6/4/2007 2:35:44 AM)
That column is not a percentage like the others. It is an actual count of how many fires are currently burning on the ship.

Your flaw was not taking a PT boat along. That one PT boat would of absorbed 85 shell hits[:D]

Yamato hugger -> RE: Fire Ships? (6/4/2007 9:56:15 AM)
I have NEVER seen more than 49 fire on a ship. Honestly.

Arkady -> RE: Fire Ships? (6/4/2007 12:40:38 PM)
It is not a fire...but heavy smoking NZ unit...there was Lucky Strike's clearance in ship canteen [:D]

It is an actual count of how many fires are currently burning on the ship. if so (and i am not convinced it isn't a glitch) - it is a clear departure from predecessor games where fires could actually INCREASE - to 100. This is the first time i've seen or heard about a ship with fires >100, which makes me suspect a glitch. Has anyone alse ever seen fires >100 on a ship [&:] (no, cities do NOT count... [:-] [:D])

Monter_Trismegistos -> RE: Fire Ships? (6/4/2007 7:30:26 PM)
I saw it too, one of my hasty K... (semothing in north Borneo) invasion gunboat after meeting with Coast Defernce Guns turned 99/99/101.

Nikademus -> RE: Fire Ships? (6/4/2007 7:56:58 PM)
the fire range has always been 0-49 Don't think it was changed. Looks like a glitch of some sort.

Deep ocean water put those fires out quickly... [;)] Probably is a glitch, but one I found amusing. I'm glad I wasn't aboard one of those subchasers.

Procrustes -> RE: Fire Ships? (6/5/2007 4:58:49 AM)
Forty-one ships in one TF?

ctangus -> RE: Fire Ships? (6/23/2007 3:57:42 AM)
Dang - happened again. I think I'm learning I need to spend some more time suppressing the CD guns of anywhere I invade. [image]local://upfiles/18431/5ADEC183848E4935B3F07587AB1BA781.jpg[/image]

rtrapasso -> RE: Fire Ships? (6/23/2007 4:04:05 AM)
This reminds me of the line from Kids in the Hall - someone was talking to a pyromaniac and asked them how they liked their job - and got the reply "Very nice... everyone is so flammable!!" [X(] [:'(]

Admiral DadMan -> RE: Fire Ships? (6/23/2007 6:23:33 AM)
Fires can grow beyond 99, the display is supposed to be capped at 99, or 49 or whatever. It's a glitch/bug/oopsie.
