Okay, I'm a returning WitP player and working hard to get up to speed on the AE Japan side. Maybe bad for me to be asking for this, but... Turn 1 as Japan is a lot of work...

One thing I wish for every time I restart doing turn 1 is a ship filter for an individual class. Something on ships display perhaps that says "Show all ships of this Class". I want to be able to see where all my Fubuki(I)'s are on turn 1 to ship them off to await upgrade to Fubuki(II)'s on 1/1/42 for instance, or move all my Akasi class xAK's to a collecting point for convoy systems. I want to convert my Ansyu-C AK's to PB's, etc. You can do this to an extent by filtering ship types and sorting by endurance, speed, etc. but it is still a pain.

Oh, and actually displaying the class on lists would be nice.

Default air groups to normal range rather than extended, please! It's such a minor thing but at the same time it's such a chore to always have to "fix" this on air groups - at least I generally prefer to avoid the extra OP losses you get from extended range.

To me this seemingly minor addition would be a major quality of life bonus.

Some time ago, on the port view screen the "Manage ships under repair" button was added (, which in my opinion has a relatively hidden position).
In my opinion this makes the "Show Ships under repair" toggle superfluous on this screen.

When this toggle is removed and the "Manage ..." button is moved under der "Form TF" button, that would free up space.
Also, the new position would be more consistent, since it is not just some kind of filter, but leads to a new screen (like the "Form TF" button does).

The "Show Ships under repair" toggle is not superfluous if, for example, you have a carrier under repair and you want to move air groups off of it while it's in repair mode.

Moving planes off a Carrier could be added to the view accessed via right-click in repair management screen.

It is a different display, yes. But if the ship type filters were added to the manage screen, the functionality would not suffer.
There is even space enough to add the -t to xAK that have the increased troop transport capacity (currently missing from the Manage-screen).

Even if the "Show ships under repair"-toggle is not removed, the suggested new position for the Manage-button still seems better than the current.

Can we please!!!! have a maximum time to conquer a Atoll back in the game, we used to have the 3 day rule, perhaps we can do a 2 week rule.
It is past any realism to have a 3 month battle with over 35000 troops and over a 1000 tanks on a 6 km2 sized atoll fighting for 2 months.

Disagree with you on the view in manage being better, it's far more crowded due to its different purpose.

Actually there was a 3 day rule in the old game, 3 days to conquer. Atoll or your forces where wiped out and surrendered.
The example i gave of troops and tanks is actually taking place in my PBEM game with admiral dadman as we speak.
Wake island , over 2 months of combat over 40.000 troops and over a 1000 tanks, 300 plus artillery.
Stacking limits do not prdvent these battles, it just consumes a hige amount of supplies.

I am not asking for the 3 day rule, but a max time and number of troops a cording to atoll size does help in this.
We are now approaching the 3 rd month of combat on wake, i killed so many tanks and allied soldiers, i should be able to walk from wake to saipan over the burned out hulls.

2 months in the surf of wake with 35000 troops and a 1000 tanks, thats not realistic, these troops get a cold, trench rot and the tanks start to rust by now.
