quote: ORIGINAL: witpqs quote: ORIGINAL: Don Bowen quote: ORIGINAL: tigercub But i did see Escort TF default back to surface TF after a battle. After combat, the composition of a TF is examined and mission open to change. It might change from combat to escort, or air combat to surface combat if all carriers lost, or escort to combat if no damaged ships remain. Don, A different slant on this: I've seen several times where I made an escort TF to get a damaged heavy unit from Pearl to the west coast for repairs and - without combat involved - it changed to a surface combat TF enroute. Didn't catch it when it happened so no save. If the damaged ships are below the damage threshold the TF will go back to combat. This normally occurs when the damaged ship in an escort TF sinks and the remaining escort(s) revert to regular surface combat, but the check is made every turn and crew repairs could improve the status of the damaged ship(s) over the threshold. If you see an example that seems out of line, please post a save.

Apologize if this has been asked - but why can't the Japanese CS ships carry troops or supplies?

Why have the ships on Escort at all if the game Will default back surface TF after a battle? sorry this does not make since to me? Tiger!

According to Don's comment, the TF will only revert when it doesn't have something to escort any more (either because the escorted ship is repaired, or sinks). Andrew

According to Don's comment, the TF will only revert when it doesn't have something to escort any more (either because the escorted ship is repaired, or sinks). Andrew It also happens at initial task force creation. If you create an escort TF but only select undamaged/lightly damaged ships the engine often selects an alternate TF type for you. Not a big deal but sometimes I want the type to be escort so the ships don't take on the behavior of the other type (e.g., I don't want an SCTF because I want the minimum chance of engagement.

afspret -> RE: AE Naval and OOB Issues (9/2/2009 8:55:49 AM)
I know the problem with subs not automatically returning to port when they hit bingo fuel has been addressed in Patch 1, but I've noticed that several of my ASW TFs are doing the same thing. WAD or possible bug?

afspret -> RE: AE Naval and OOB Issues (9/2/2009 9:04:41 AM)
Speaking of subs issues, I've got two @ Midway with 0 fuel (one disbanded in port & the other docked) and neither will refuel because both refuel options are greyed out. The one that is still in a TF has auto-refuel on but won't refuel that way either. Midway is still a size 1 port with a small amount of fuel, but I also have a troop and tanker TF there as well. Boats have systems damages of 13 & 20 respectively. I also have another sub @ sea about halfway between Midway & PH in the same hex as an AG but I can't refuel that boat either because the refuel at sea button is greyed out. This boat has systems damage of 22.

IN the case i am talking about,I have am undamaged TF toop ship group moving a Div,i have a Escort TF CL and a few DDs,and a ASW TF.....We come under attack by 3 DDs,they fight a battle and withdraw (3dds) but MY Escort TF coverts to a surface TF WHY? i dont see the point.(there is no damage to anyone to talk about) Tiger!

Escort TFs are misnamed. They're intended to be a mechanism for moving damaged ships to repair. Automatically-generated escort TFs usually have an undamaged DD or CL accompanying.

I see the light thanks Herwin,so my TF Escort should had been a surface TF all along Sweet. Tiger!

John Lansford -> RE: AE Naval and OOB Issues (9/2/2009 1:15:47 PM)
I formed two escort TF's for damaged ships transiting from Pearl to the WC. One has several damaged BB's and other ships in it plus healthy DD's, the other has lighter damaged (but still bad enough) cruisers with some healthy DD's as ASW. The BB TF remains as an escort TF, but the one with the lesser damaged ships reverts back to surface warfare. Damage levels in that one are in the 30-40 range in the three categories; the BB's have 40-50 damage. Also, I'm getting the "enemy TF parks in friendly port" problem. A TF stopped in Davao harbor a week ago and just sat there, not bombarding or anything else, until just last turn an invasion TF showed up. While it waited a BB got torpedoed and many Dutch subs had a shot at them.

Why do all Dutch submarines start scenario 001 returning to Soerabaja? I counted 10 subs at sea, and all of them are returning to base. Is that historical, or a quirk of the scenario? This is in 1.0.1.1083, btw [:D] Thanks! fbs

Any chance on getting another new Task Force button option, ( REPAIR ) ? often I have ships I want to send to a port or ship yard for repair only,and to avoid any other task forces if possible.[;)]

This isn't an issue as such, more of a question. Is there a reason that HMS Belfast doesn't turn up for the Brits in 1945? She was on her way out East on VJ Day and was in the South China sea in August.

They must refuel from a port, so if Midway does not have sufficient fuel, it won't matter how many tankers/transports you've got in the harbor, they won't refuel from anyone. I have had that problem too before the first patch, subs running out of fuel on the high seas, and I'd divert ships to meet them. They wouldn't refuel then either.

Hi guys, Just a tiny, tiny issue for you, the Australia class CA's have all their light AA assigned to the RS of the ship (I think its the 20mm mounts). This only seems to be until the first upgrade, the upgraded model is correct. Noticed in Scen 1 and 2, running Beta Patch.

AFDB-2 cannot move out of the port of Portland.

On the ship screen, the "only show ships with pending upgrades" button also shows ships whose only "upgrade" is a conversion. It would be nice if it only showed upgrades. One generally wants all the upgrades, but not all the conversions, and the more conversions pending the harder it is to find the one or two ships that missed their upgrades. Interestingly enough, there are five buttons at the bottom of the screen and room for six (two rows of three), so we could even add a "Show ships with available conversions"!

If you look in your Japanese operations report you will see "TF 304 slows down to allow following TF 20 to catch up". TF 20 is at Guam, loading. It actually should complete loading but does not due to a disrelated bug, now solved. TF 304 is oscillating 9 hexes away from it's destination (Canton Island). This is because the slow following TF 20 has forced TF 304 to slow down to 1 hex per phase and the need for a bombardment TF to stand off 12-hours max speed steaming from the target until night. It moves one hex toward Canton each night, one hex back each day. That will continue until TF 20 catches up. And all the other following TFs are linked to TF 304 in lock step. Cancel load on TF 20 and wait for it to catch up.
