I think we're beyond micromanagement. Nanomanagement?

Terminus -> RE: few wishes for AE (5/12/2008 2:52:13 AM)
Particlemanagement, perhaps?

Im really excited by AE coming. I hope I can express this right - I get the feeling that the game will be far more realistic -hopefully less bloody combat -esp air to air, better experience , and Japan probably restricted now through various factors to a more realistic(if thats the word) expansion. I just hope that overall the "pace" of operations might be reduced. Losses "hurt more" I hope that we have more realistic stacking limits -and airfields can no longer support mega operations. I was playing a stock game (opponent seems to have dropped of to the the girlfriend planet I think[8\|]) where A/F size equalled number of squadrons you could operate -and it played very , very well. If AE reflects this sort of stuff -Ill be over the moon PS -clicking is good! Micromanegment is very good battling the same problems the actual commanders faced is the ultimate goal for me!

quote: where A/F size equalled number of squadrons you could operate -and it played very , very well. Thought about that too but the aircraft numbers being different from one unit to another, I prefered to take another mode of calculation based on the engines - AF size x 60 engines = number of engines allowed. Makes my job as the Allies tougher, aka nicer [8D]

Dili -> RE: few wishes for AE (5/12/2008 2:31:34 PM)
To clarify. I dont have problems with easing use and i am dont like clicking fest either, but not at expense of decision capability. Lets say we could multiple select units and change their setting simultanously, that would be great. Lets go further and suppose we had ability to define mission profile and weapons(100kg bombs, 500kg etc), now if we could save that settings and mass load mission profile in many squadrons simultaneously we could have even more detail than WITP/AE and less cumbersome click fest.

I wish the game would come with a cerebral interface so it would do what I was thinking... and not what I actually clicked.

Bliztk -> RE: few wishes for AE (5/12/2008 3:07:03 PM)
A good thing should be add a button to a base, so it can draw supplies Now getting supplies to a overland base it`s a lottery, at best

Showed next turn destination hexes will be only for novices. For hardcore gamers is here only course and speed. BTW map need displayed compas rose too, because I sometimes swap north and south (north in my language starting on letter s).

Never!!! [:-][:-][:-] I don“t want a reduce of micromanagement either... How about BOOTH options ? Auto setting (low, med, high) and manual micromanagment - lets players decide which buttons to use. I love details in Witp, but I hate tu much micromanagment. Certain automations will be very heplfull and can make game more enjoying - like previsously sugested auto starting/stoping of AC production when certain level of AC in pool is reached. Manual halting/restarting is annoying.

safe port check - (can be dispayed or hidden) - this will be simple function - it diver ship/sub to nearest port for repair, if is here chance ship will not surive patch to chosen port. Ship will simply go to nearest possible port for emergeny repairs to prevent sinking, and after necesary repairs are done, then ship will proced to destination (for better repairs) without risk of sinking on the way. I hate sinking of my ships due to bad chosen destination port. From which valua I can asume if ship surive way back or not ? I was send 43/53/0 damaged sub (as japanese) to port 20 hexes away (and AI leaving her partoling) and sub was sink on half way to port. [:@]

Czert -> RE: an idea... (5/13/2008 4:32:53 PM)
option to raise maximum amount of planes in unit - it is nice to have 9 emilis in unit having NS/ASW task, but it s not enough in some cases. And make this costly and limited -e.q. is not possible to more than double (triple for 9) original size of unit with progresive cost for every plane over original size. And just currious why H8K missing naval attacks if it can carry torpedoes ? Od course, usable only agains merchants due to size.

Dili -> RE: an idea... (5/13/2008 5:29:41 PM)
Czert WITP-AE intends to have some ressemblance to doctrine and historical issues. If you want more H8K in a combat front bring more H8K units. I dont know of any instance(tough i dont know H8K units histories like i wished) that a H8K employed torpedos or that their crews were trained for that. Torpedos are expensive weapons and usually go to well trained crews(that have to spend dozens torpedos training).

Torpedos are expensive weapons and usually go to well trained crews(that have to spend dozens torpedos training). Forget the expense of the torpedoes..., those big flying boats were expensive, hard to build, and far to limited in numbers to be risked at torpedo bombers. Even a merchant might do enough damage to keep one from getting home at the ranges they operated. Far too valuable for reccon.

Well maybe they work like the Catalinas - then you'll have to turn them into night ops if you want the Naval Attack option to get activated. I guess PzB and a number of player occasionally used the H8K in this role at night already.

Czert -> RE: an idea... (5/14/2008 4:54:14 PM)
Wow, I didn known that - activating of naval attack on night ops. Good trick (not mentioned in manual). And I have another idea - ETA for TF (at destination) - this make coordinating of invasion from multiple bases much easier. Dili - my problem is simple - I have not enough H8K for my plans, even if all units are at full numbers.

Czert -> RE: an idea... (5/14/2008 5:10:51 PM)
and another - ability to build completly new ship - yes, this will be ahistorical, but can solve many problems, I have lost many ships for simple reason -not enough numbers or AR ships (JE have only ONE for whole game , really, really "nice" - of course, allow building of completly new ships for allies too, but hey, they have enough numbers of all types of ships).

Charbroiled -> RE: an idea... (5/14/2008 6:10:53 PM)
In WITP, you can "build" AR, MLE, AV, AS, and a couple of other aux ships. For Japan, get a 7000 AK to Osaka and you will see a convert button. For Allies the port is SF. You can then convert the AK to the aux ship of your choice which will show up 180 days (IIRC) If I understand correctly, AE will allow more conversion options.

Dili -> RE: an idea... (5/14/2008 8:57:34 PM)
quote: I have not enough H8K for my plans, even if all units are at full numbers. It is not dificult to edit that in editor. But like i said that is completely off Historicaly. To build them can only(or should ) be made at expense of other stuff. Maybe converting those 40 Transport versions build to Patrol.

Anothjer very needed thing, not mentioned in manual (i read it carefuly recently). Hope devs make good manual for AE.

and another idea - option to REMOVE one (or more) planes frpm units - for simple reason, sometimes replenishing of CV from port resulting in 110% of capacity (which is in limit, AC can perform stikes) - but which is bad is type of overnumber planes - all time off only one type (TB or DB) which is bad if I want fighters or splited overcapacity to all three (two) types equal.

C ships may upgrade by clicking on a button on the Ship Information Screen that brin a list of possible conversions. The ship must be in Osaka (for the Japanese) or San Francisco (for the Americans) to have this button available. The upgrade will take 180 days (plus some for damage) added to the delay for the ship being converted. The ship types that can convert are: �� Large AK to AE, AR, AS, AV or MLE �� Allied only Large AK to AD �� Allied only PG or LST to AGP N h t a large AK is an AK with a Capac The option to upgrade will appear in the Ship Information Display at the bottom left of the if the ship meets the above requirements.

I agree with this one!!! I had a Japanese AV with 12 float planes draw 4 more planes and put them in reserve. I know you can prevent this by putting the air unit to "no reinforcements", but I am reluctant to do this because the float plane strength of an AV is not something I check very often. However, I can see some "gameyness" to this. I can see someone pulling some air units out of one unit...they return to the pool....and immediately "get planes" in another unit clear across the pacific. Maybe a solution (if this is considered) would be to only remove planes over the max capacity of the air unit. Or better yet, prevent air units from being over strength to begin with.

Beware, though, that they'll launch only if the target's location is known. Expect it to happen primarly when one of your subs makes contact with an enemy naval force. Most of the time, Night phase naval attacks are triggered by sub sightings [;)]
