Co-prosperity sphere lovers, lets not forget that the Jap sub float planes can upgraded to Jakes or even Alfs (range 8) when in a decent enough port (namely lots of supplies).

How about being able to prioritize ship repairs?



This would be a BIG fix as far as I am concerned.
Many ships being repaired at Pearl but the ones I
need the most are NOT the next in line....

You WILL be very sorry Michael when I figure out how to upgrade my SBDs and TBDs to B-29s.

Also being able to ignore port/AF damage and still build forts would be nice as would the ability to intentionally destroy your own base.


I definitely go for this one!

Status: offline 		1. Fix the dam sub tranport ability it's still broken!

2.Better fog of war, reduce spotting by about 50% for all platforms(air, sea, intel, etc.). It's hard to hide even a sub in WITP!

3. Give us some way to edit the target list (locations to invade) of the AI so we can get some additional life out of the game.

3. Fix the AI for subs, so they don't all go to the same place each and every game.

4. Give the AI the ability to conduct minning ops to defend forward bases, and mine enemy foward bases and rear areas. Right now the AI only mines a port on invasion and not defence.

Add the Fairey Albacore to the data base as an upgrade between the Swordfish and Barracuda.

Add cargo capacity to the 1st Langley so it can have the ability to transport aircraft as deck cargo.

Status: offline 		additional clarification of the interface would be nice - they could do something like they did for aircraft replacement - state what the condition is currently, and then have the button next to it to change the condition.

I.e. - TF is currently docked
button - "undock".

Unit is currently accepting replacment
button - "turn replacements off"
(Right now, for LCUs the button reads replacements ON when there are replacements arriving.)

(Currently, as in example above sometimes clicking a button means to UNDO something, and at other times it means to DO something.)

No one ever seems to ask this!!! You would think with the amount of traffic on this board that it shows the interest is there in enough numbers to work on it...PLEASE....
Me for one would give it a go at playtesting....

A nice AI would be nice, but I am just as happy playing PBEM.
A different land combat model would be a must.

Status: offline 		For WiTP 2.0 (which I would pay a premium for), I would like to have:

1. An AI that doesn't interfere (much) when there is a real player for the side in question.
2. Better ground combat modelling--see the Gamers OCS system for what I mean. Probably key here is partial hex occupation, since the game mesh combines big 60 mile hexes with short 1 day turns.
3. Air operations defined in terms of number of sorties, not squadrons/groups launching as a whole.
4. Way points for naval movements. And three moves per day.
5. Timing taken more explicitly into account during air operations. I can provide sample C++ code for managing an event list.
6. A better map.

Status: offline 		Add new option to CS Convoy orders

A big "Click Count Reducer" would be a modification of the CS Convoy orders. A 'CS' convoys is where you form a transport TF, set a destination, then click on the 'Human Controlled' toggle, and it switches to 'CS Convoy' (or 'CS Controlled' or something). The TF will then robotically:

1 load supplies on AK's and fuel on TK's
2 take them to the destination
3 unload them
4 return to the home port
5 start over at #1

These types of convoys are great helpers in reducing the repetitive work load on the player (hence 'click count reducer'). The problem is that they cannot move oil or resources. And players must move a lot of oil and resources.

Please add an option so that a CS convoy can be told to either load "Supplies/Fuel" or "Oil/Resources".

For clarification please note that I am not referring to the auto convoy system.
