Two things.

1) LSIL is listed twice, once each for large and small. Maybe one should be LSIS?

2) [X(] Holy Cow! [&o]

And the end. A total of 78 types.

Also, the AI will use some ship types depending on class attributes.

Sorry if this has been asked before (these threads are getting way to large to follow them all.. :D), so would there be any changes to surface ship main gun accuracy?

It's really annoying when BBs shoot at each other with 20mm guns for half an hour...

Is sub vs. sub finally there ?

Just started a new game and I would like to see an auto disband option added to sub missions. This is particularly useful when you are directing subs to bases with naval bases for a scheduled refit.

Nothing to do with main gun accuracy...

Yeah, like I said...

Anyway, the earliest I can find (same book as above, page 208) was the joint USN/RN operation against Sabang in Sumatra on 19 April '44, HMS Illustrious flying off Corsairs of 1830 and 1833 Squadrons, FAA.

OK. Following six displays are the AE ship types. You will notice considerable expansion.

Also:
1. A number of additional types are primarily variations of pre-existing types, included for historical accuracy. CVB as a variant of CV, for instance.
2. As much as possible, we adjusted ship type designations to the US Navy standard. It is generally understood and very detailed.
3. Where necessary, we used designations from other navies - generally for types that did not fit well into the standard US designations.
4. Several existing types have been reclassified! AG is just the beginning.

Here is number one. Not too much new here. We added CVB, CB, and TB (especially for the 12 Japanese large TB).

Wow! [X(] Great work and thanks for the answer.

I know this might be a very obvious and redundant question, but just to make sure, all these new ship classes will be listed under these new designations and you can sort by them? So I can sort my list (SAIEW) by ship class and I will see AP, APA, AK, AKA, CV, CVB, SS, SST and so on all grouped together and listed as such (you wont have to right click on a SS to see if it is a SS, a SST, or a SSX like you do right now to see if a AP is a vanilla AP or an APA)?

Thanks again. The more I read about this expansion the better it gets [:D]

Yes, of course.

What is SAIEW?

Excellent stuff about all the new classes.

Does this mean that only certain types of ships e.g. AO and AE can enable a "Replenish TF at Sea" in game? Or will the ubiquitous facility remain? If it really is restricted that would do much to reduce various unrealities and gameyisms ...

Given that Japanese Tankers built during the mid to late 30's were required by law to be equiped to act as AO for the fleat in time of war, how is this handled in AE?

I can scan some details of Side,trailing and lead refueling tomarow for Japanese AO's if nessary.

The way it is now, fuel can be traded between ships of the same {or different task forces} when the refuel at sea button is hit.  Will this still occur or does it need to be at a base or dot hex?
