The Tench and Balao class SS for the US have Durability of 30, when they should be 40; the Tench and Balaos had thicker hulls allowing 400 ft test depths.

I've been noticing more invalid date entries in the database. The convoy disbandings are often given as the 31st of months that only have 30 days. If you want I can list them, but I don't know if they would disband anyway.

I know this is a completely different game but in one of the WITP mods I played regularly, listed a date for the the production of B-24Ds.to begin on 34/42. They didn't show up and I had played through 6/42 game date before I started check back in the editor and found the input error. Needless to say it ruined my game and I was to discouraged to correct the entry and start over. So I would say a correction of your dates mentioned above should be taken as a game stopper and be corrected.

He asked me to keep a bug list for him and fix what I can. I cannot see anywhere a convoy has to have a disbandonment day. I cannot list what I cannot see. By disbandment I meant "withdrawal." My understanding is that the date on that is when the convoy will finish "unloading" and dump the supplies, fuel, and devices into the pool.

JWE -> RE: Known Issue - off map turnarounds (8/21/2009 7:00:27 PM)
Yes. Have to say, I'm with MO. There is no "withdrawal" or "disbandonment" for convoys and don't understand what you are saying. MO cheched and there are no ship withdrawal dates that took place on the 31st. Ship withdrawal dates are from TROMS, so are presumed to be correct. As MO suggests, please clarify by posting an editor page that shows the date issue that you are concerned about. We will fix what we can. Thanks. John

BPRE -> RE: Known Issue - off map turnarounds (8/21/2009 7:11:58 PM)
Isn't he talking about the convoys to Cape Town? They have withdrawal dates as ground units. I can't see any incorrect date though when I look at scenario 1. /BPRE

fbs -> RE: Known Issue - off map turnarounds (8/22/2009 4:10:06 AM)
Scenario 001: CL Achilles and Leander start the war with Ensigns as captains; that doesn't look right -- may be caused by something in the database? Thanks! fbs

Device 1554 Squid has a effect of 35; when in real life, Squid had a mighty 200~ lbs of boom.

rockmedic109 -> RE: Docked tonnage in red? (8/22/2009 1:52:10 PM)
Scen 1. CM Bungaree is supposed to carry Mk VII mines. But the Mk VII mines don't begin to be made untill 12/42.

John I think I see the confusion, I'm referring to the convoys that are classified as ground units. Now that I think about it, it's probably a land team issue. Should I report it over there?

I am giving you into attention tests I run today: http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=2215485 It seems that ships set on cruise speed get their asses always handed by ships on mission speed! BUG or WAD? If you are interested I had turn before where you can play with speed settings. Tests conducted in Guadalcanal scenario, 1.080 Hotfix beta applied.

The Cimarron (AO-22) is shown as a Neosho class oiler when it should be reversed. "Rear Adm. Emory S. Land in full dress uniform while chief of the Bureau of Construction and Repair. Admiral Land played a key role in securing funds for the navy's rebuilding program in the early 1930s and prepared the original design criteria of the Cimarron-class oilers. (National Archives) " "Cimarron, first of the National Defense Features (NDF) tankers to be completed, slid down the ways at the Sun yard on the morning of 7 January 1939. At the time of her launching, the Cimarron, with an overall length of 553 feet and a beam of 75 feet, was the fastest tanker built in the United States and one of the largest in the world. The lines plan chosen for her hull form was designed specifically to enhance the high-speed characteristics desired by the navy and was radically different from that used on any previous tanker. The design was based on the latest advances in naval architecture, had been refined by extensive testing in the navy's model basin, and included a bulbous bow--the first ever to be used on a tanker. This feature was intended to improve the ship's performance by reducing the wave-forming resistance generated as the ship moved through the water. Cimarron also had a distinctive clipper bow, which with its raked stem was designed to improve sea keeping." See this link to see the AOs listed in the Cimarron class. http://www.ibiblio.org/hyperwar/USN/GSBO/GSBO-D.html Buck (an ex AO-22 swabby 1963)

Also RAFA if you could help (especially flying boat tenders, like Tung Song/Ann). Very hard to find data on those guys. Strangely enough I do have data on the RASC Fleet.

Nothing in response to surface combat with cruise/mission speed settings? Would be nice to know what do you guys think about it. Also it seems that ships are consuming cruise speed amount of fuel when set at mission speed.

Kull -> RE: AE Naval and OOB Issues (8/22/2009 10:45:25 PM)
The following is moved here from another thread. Although not a bug per se, the near-guaranteed loss of an AI-controlled IJN CVE at the start of the game would be a nice thing to fix. quote: ORIGINAL: sfbaytf Realize Japan is trying to do too much at once, but shouldn't carriers always be escorted? The CVE Taiyo was spotted and engaged by a PC. Both sides broke off. Finally I send a CL that was badly damaged and in Batavia being fixed up to finish the job. Night Time Surface Combat, near Toboali at 50,95, Range 1,000 Yards quote: ORIGINAL: Don Bowen Japan does not have enough escorts. If you are playing against the AI, it does the best it can with what it has. Note that Taiyo is (historically) proceeding alone at the start of Scenario 1. True, but the AI is doing something monumentally stupid with this ship. At the end of Turn 1, Taiyo is located at 89,93 and heading to Hiroshima. But where did sfbaytf take her down? 40 hexes away (as the Emily flies) at 50, 95 - just off the coast of Sumatra, where she is still a lone, unescorted ship. And (anecdotally) I've seen other AAR reports of her destruction as a solo ship in locations where she has no right to be traveling. So the team might want to see if there's some way to ensure that Taiyo heads to the Japanese mainland as ordered, instead of wandering off alone to certain death in the DEI.

PzB74 -> Merchant cruisers - do they work? (8/22/2009 11:25:41 PM)
One of my merchant cruisers (one of the 2 big ones initially deployed near Fiji in Scen 1) intercepted an enemy transport. The mission was "surface combat" - but still both TF's tried to withdraw - escape[&:] Is this a lack of aggressiveness, or does AE treat AMC's as transports that always will try to escape from battle?

There is a Base Force at Cebu I can evacuate, and so far 4 subs have picked up fragments and taken them to Darwin. Now the load routine is saying the subs cannot load anything else from this unit, even though there are still engineers, support and infantry squads present. Anyone had this happen to them?

seydlitz_slith -> RE: AE Naval and OOB Issues (8/23/2009 2:31:04 AM)
The engineers are too fat from garrison duty to fit down the hatch on the subs.

Don Bowen -> RE: AE Naval and OOB Issues (8/23/2009 3:21:51 PM)
Thanks. Do you happen to have any data on an RAFA ship named Dumana? May have been a seaplane tender or base ship in Australia.

Is TF speed even part of the combat algorithm? Or do individual ship speeds take over once you shift from the Strat map to the Tactical engagement?
