We Allied players never worry about gas. In fact we our surplus to power our ice cream makers and golf carts...


I know ... 1275's AAR is full of the fuel issues ... he is always short of fuel, struggling to get his fleet in position ... very typical IJ issue. AND, so very much like the reality that was faced ...

LoBaron, I was looking for that 'threat table' in the manual last night, couldn't find it, can you give me a Ch# or page#?


I did not find it either. Is it possible that there was one in the old WitP manual?

Anyways, the closest match to what I was describing is Chapter 6.2.4 "PATROL/RETREAT AND MAX REACT RANGE", and the ongoing chapters.

Weird, I was sure there was some pretty detailed table. [&:]

Not at the start in southpac we don't... I seem to spend the first year and most my USN tankers moving fuel into the Southern Pacific. [&:]

in the manual or not, TFs don't move at full speed when being set on mission speed and being spotted. Until just recently I've never heard this before (amazingly in all these years) and it's just wrong.

Noone playing Allied or Japanese will notice any difference in fuel consumption. I've just tried to run a convoy for ten turns, mission speed, then gone back to turn 1 and ran the same convoy to the same target for ten turns. Head to head, there were three PBY squadrons spotting the convoy EACH turn SEVERAL times. Guess what, after ten turns, 100% the same.

Rumors, nothing else. Ppl can believe what ever they like, I'm fine with if they think their neighbour is an Alien.

edit: latest offical patch

if he has fuel issues then be it, but for sure not because he rans his Navy on mission or cruise speed.
