Status: offline 		Pwhex set 6.62 is released - normal and panama both.

These turn the upper Yangtze River into an "internal river system" complete with ports and tiny naval units - none armed with more than an mg. The same area also features a "Chinese Grand Canyon" of blocked hex sides - yet another way to rough up China. The art needs to be updated slightly - Cobra was waiting for this file to issue it.
[The trail along the Yangtze is always on the North or East side - it never crosses the river - for example]

Some mismatched hex sides were also fixed.

There will be a micro update for 6.62 today - pretty much devoted to eratta - and defining ports/vessels for interior river systems.

I will leave the Pearl River as external - ocean ships do navigate it - but there will be the following internal systems, in order of size:

a) Amur/Usurri/Sungari system
b) Upper Yangtze (above Wuhan/Hankow)
c) Upper Yellow River
d) Ganges (converted from external river system)
e) Mekong

The later two are not contested. b and c are contested only by mg armed vessels. a is heavily contested, but unless air power is used to mess up its ships, the Soviets dominate it.

Now for Level 5 pwhex files.

and need to be put on top of 6.62 or 5.62 respectively.

Eratta incorporated.

Status: offline 		Trouble in River City. Right here in River City!

I am unable to run ANY version of WITP.

Reinstall works ONLY at level 1.0 - won't update.

Until this is corrected- progress grinds to a halt.

Meanwhile, Down Under - Cobra is having trouble of a hardware variety.

We plan to do a comprehensive data file/pwhex file/art release for 6.3

We are getting good eratta feedback - and this may be a very nice set.
The only reason it won't be complete is that we could spend many months reworking
minor ships - now we have figured out how to add thousands while freeing up slots.
But we will do a nice subset and release for human testing - at last. At least the old
"there are no slots" problem no longer applies to ships!

China has become rougher - and its economy more robust. Among other things pwhex work
reveals the road/rail net was not right - and it will work better now. I love the "Chinese Grand
Canyon" - and so does the AI. I hope we are as happy with the Amur/Usurri/Sungari river system -
which is potentially a bigger deal. It is a "two edged sword" pointed at Harbin in one direction and
Kharbarovsk/Komsomolsk/Nikolaevsk in the other. Might also permit flanking of the defenses of
Vladivostok - and in reverse flanking the defenses of Harbin (which happened IRL). The frontier
is no longer "safe" for IJA to strip and send South either. Leave the Sungari uncovered? Maybe the
Soviet Red Army will exploit it? And of course vice versa - for the Amur/Usurri.

Status: offline 		We have at last been able to get a Level 5 pwhex file working - and I have invented a new way to generate pwhex files so updating them is not a line by line process (and fewer operations means fewer errors during the update process). So Level 5 users may see the Yangtze interior waterway - and the first offerings of grouped small vessels (albit not with grouped art - which will appear in 5.30). There also are a number of fixed eratta - and the introduction of some new river ports - and the land (and air observation) units of the Imperial Manchukuo Navy (one base on the Bohei Gulf - one on the Sungari River at Harbin - the former being also Navy HQ).

Status: offline 		Yes and no.

They are in unissued files - and Cobra is not doing too well with finding art materials. My scanner went down - and I must lose a day to send him images of Manchukuo and Russian vessels.

I think the Sturms are used in the ocean - not in the river system - but there is a gross shortage of Russian patrol craft - and in particular of ASW armed craft - so I will add them somewhere. Any idea where they were based?

We have Russian language data indicating a top speed of 21 knots - not far from your data if 25 refers to mph -
and that the DC were throwers - 2 of them. This is about right for a patrol craft not focused on ASW. Presumably K guns - did the Soviet's use a Y gun?

The Russian says 930 nautical miles at 14 knots. It lists "many" 20 mm - which seems strange - no mg.

I am trying to add some of the Soviet guns for ships - permitting better caliber representation - by combining minor ones.

Status: offline 		Shtorm - Borders patrol was her primary task during peace time, but ASW was her primary task during war.

Seems that correct name of this class was Uragan. It is not uncommon for Soviet Navy that they call the clas in each fleet differently after first ships arriving in their fleet. So class Uragan was named correctly in Arctic as Uragan, in Baltic they were called Tayfun class, and in Black Sea - Shtorm class.

Another version of data gives them 23 knots at power of 6300hp. But still don't see 20mm guns - only 3 x 13,2mm MGs. Maybe they were upgraded later? Maybe your data is for units from other theatre (small differences between different flets were not unusual)?

As to you question about K/Y guns - term exists only in US (or "Western") terminology, for me DC thrower is a DC thrower. What is the difference between K and Y guns?

These vessels - which you correctly speculated correspond well to Coast Guard cutters - and which have essentially the same design role (in WWII USGC did ASW) - were successful and long lived. They probably got upgraded after the war to use the 20mm in place of the classical AAMG used when they were designed.

The term K and Y refer to the way the gun works. A K gun is sort of a pipe with a pipe off to one side - bent upward and outward - a spigot onto which the DC is placed - with an explosive charge inside a pipe that in effect "throws" the DC - in the direction the arm is facing. A Y gun is a double mechanism - one arm to both sides - and it fires two DC at the same time - in opposite directions - the recoil forces neatly balanced so it does not tear out the deck - not even as bad as a K gun does! K guns are placed near the side - just enough room between them and the side to load a DC. Y guns are placed on the centerline - and fire one round off both sides at one time. This helps insure a proper pattern.
A later variation of this is a triple DC mortar - a 3 barroled weapon firing 3 DC from classical mortars vice spigot mortars. The 3 tubes are directed so that they produce a circular (equalateral triangular actually) pattern centered on the datum point. Yet another variation is the Hedgehog - a tiny spigot mortar with a large number of rounds fired in a circular (oval actually) pattern - just strong enough to crack the hull of a Type VII U boat. A still tinier version of that is Mousetrap. These were clever - but as subs got bigger and stronger - the later weapons went away - while the DC is STILL used - and so is the triple ASW mortar.

You made a lot mess in this link (for example: lack of dot between web4u and cz). The correct one:
http://warships.web4u.cz/lode.php?language=E&stat=SOV&typ=TRA&trida=%C5%A0torm

Also I have info that those (probably some of them) ships lost their torpedo tubes during 1942 - so probably they had their AA armament increased.

They used BMB-1 depth charge projectors that fired one bomb at a time or ordinary depth charge racks. Soviet navy either used BB-1 (large) or BM-1 (small) depth charges of Russian production. At least the Arctic Fleet received British Mk VII depth charges (via lend-and-lease), but I don't think that any made their way to the Pacific Fleet.

Status: offline 		RHS 5.623 and 6.623 will be comprehensive updates INCLUDING pwhex file sets AND ship art sets.
This is not quite x.63 because there is so much to do - but it is a big step in that direction.

These updates mainly can be said to involve

MORE empty ship slots
MORE small craft represented (river craft, landing craft, gunboats, etc) - but fewer slots used for them
MORE internal river system hexes open to navigation (mainly Yellow River and Amur River system related)
[And a technical addition of one external river system - the mouth of the Old Yellow River is navigable for one hex]
LESS eratta for ships and land land units (devices, classes, aircraft and air groups appear clean)

CHANGES to the characteristics of the Yak-9D (it carries a bomb load) and the Yak-9UF (it has greater range
due to drop tanks).

ADDITION of the Australian Army 3rd Watercraft Transport Group which includes at least the
41st, 42nd and 43rd Landing Craft Companies (50x ALC-50 LCMs each)
and possibly 51st and 52nd Water Transport Companies

Possible addition of Shore Battalions for US Army Engineer EBS Regiments - which have all been reclassified as US Army vice US Navy (in terms of their watercraft elements).

Possible addition of new classes of Soviet coast guard vessels and rivercraft - if the art catches up with us in time for this update.

Redefinition of road/railroad/trail definitions where required for technical reasons to help China, Manchuria and Russia function economically in the context of the new interior river systems (we are removing the old ferry markers on these systems and the associated code "under the hood" that made them work - in favor of real watercraft or visible roads/trails) - and to correct errors between art and coding.

It includes data washed location and ship files, the usual eratta

It appears we may get the data folded in - and errors checked by rewashing - by about Monday or Tuesday.

About errors. I have find the following

1. The TOF 13 Gds Naval Inf (2517) has still the Indian nationality.
2. The Ships of the SN Lekaryev MSW Class (9447-9458) arrive all in Seattle.
3. The Ships of the SN BO901 SC Class (9459-9476) arrive all in Nome.

4. The following ships have no Nationality.
SN Smolinsk (9222)

SN Kirov (9707)
SN Vorovsky (9731)

Status: offline 		A cut fiber optic cable has prevented communications with/to Alaska. I have proceeded to nearly complete the pwhex files at 6.63 level (all interior waterways and all eratta). I will issue these in about 5 hours (after work).

I also have nearly completed the 6.623 file set - to a higher level than intended - very nearly 6.63 level -
and will try to get them out in about 12 hours. I will see if we can send the art - or ask Cobra to post it.
While we are still doing art revisions - they are also nearly completed - and winding down. Lots of new ships and some map materials.

I have added some locations in India and Thailand and China - along the river systems - and tested the river systems. AI will NOT use them UNLESS I also program task forces - at least for the Allies. It uses external rivers normally - but interior ones it does not use unless there is an existing cargo/tanker/transport TF.

Status: offline 		Note: You can always use ANY version of pwhex with ANY set of art. THIS set features almost all of the interior river systems - (and if you don't like them don't use it). Only the Irrawaddy and the Mekong are missing. The Irrawaddy is new - and requires new art for Burma - and will add 3 locations. The Mekong will add Vientiane and move Luangprabang to the correct place (at the upper bend of the river). In Thailand we have the Chao Prya and Nam Ping system - all the way to Chang Mai - which is added - along with another river port Kamphaeng Phet. Thai river gunboats and river transports now navigate this interior system.

Status: offline 		No. 48/35 is the FORMER location of Hankow/Wuhan. This "triple city" is now located to the East of that hex - in THREE different hexes - separated by the Yangtze and Han Rivers.

I am uploading 6.623 files at this time.

Cobra is or shortly will upload 6.63 art sets.

6.623 pwhex was uploaded 5 hours ago.

The concept is this: check 6.623 to learn the new stuff - and find eratta.

I will do 6.63 pwhex in the morning- and then create 5.63 to match it at Level 5 immediately.
I will spend the next day or two doing 6.63 data files - getting rid of eratta and adding hundreds or thousands of minor craft (all the while opening up ship slots) - and we will freeze all RHS Level 5 and 6 scenarios for human testing.

After than the RHS team will attempt to integrate Level 7 - while we do the human testing over an extended period on Level 6.

Status: offline 		Uploading comprehensive updates x.623 - intended for familiarization and error checking.

x.63 data washed (and somewhat more converted to new minor naval units) will issue Monday or Tuesday - and FREEZE both Level 5 and Level 6.

We will then move on to Level 7 development while we human test Level 6.

There is sufficient interest in Level 5 we are continuing to keep it fully up to date in parallel with 6 and 7.

FYI Level 5 uses the Andrew Brown Extended Map system with new art and pwhex - and you may use EITHER RHS Level 5 maps with CHS or the CHS map with RHS scenarios if you want to for any reason.

Level 6 adds a map edge movement track to the South Atlantic to the map system.

Level 7 adds Madagascar, revises Panama/Americas, and adds many ship tracks - resizing Australia to facilitate this (and increase scale accuracy). We don't know if we can make Level 7 work - or not? But that is next.

For some reason this copy fails - go to the Small Soviet Ships thread and see Dili's version

Note that in most ships list in that site it is listed the Soviet fleet where they belong. T-fleet is pacific fleet. Note also that you can click in ship name and opens a new  page with more photos and data.
For example with Storm class every ship in the list that have a photo icon means that there are more photos inside webpage in their specific name. Good for art files.

Have you ever checked your scenarios with witpchk utility? i have a lot of errors in scenario 065. So i'm unable to load it with witpdecoder utility. For example

"Class ID: 525 (Ibuki) - upgrade from (4409) to older class (Ibuki/4309)"

I think you changed a lot of ships and arrival times but leave the upgrade path...

Also it is better to change the double quotes in device no. 271 to single quote like this "Type 92 AA 'HMG'"

Thank's

Status: offline 		When we had Level 6 data washed, for some reason we got the wrong file for scenario 65 done. It is a nightmare - but I am fixing it line by line - and will issue an update shortly. The only good news is that it has forced me to find some things that needed fixing in all scenarios. Because we have a nearly identical scenario 55, I can fix this - it is just tedius. Some important things were lost - including the SW command area assignments and some supply sink settings. So I will give you the update ASAP.

Otherwise mainly adding locations in Indochina, Thailand and Burma - and coding for the river systems. Turns out there are TWO navigable sections of the Mekong - separated by a waterfall/rapids. Also turns out that adding minor points greatly helps units move down long trails.

Testing indicates the rivers mainly are assets for human players - and permit something close to real riverine operations. If you ignore the rivers you are not only missing a great opportunity - you may be flanked by the enemy. Drive his craft from the area - protect your own as if they were valuable task groups - and you can isolate his units (if a line of supply is on the river system) and not suffer the same fate yourself.

I hear you cannot get the check software to run unless you do things like get rid of ALL comments. I never do that. I don't have to run it because I have a utility test person on the team who tells me what the eratta are - insofar as utilities can see them. I hunt other kinds of eratta utilities don't understand. And note - if you run utilities - not every "error" is an error - both code issues (the utility does not know the rules) or my intent may be the reason. If it seems wierd - ask.

Status: offline 		So you can see the new locations in SE Asia - and so you can use the x.63 level pwhex file sets (yes - one for both levels) when they upload - shortly -

and to prevent reporting erratta already fixed

we are doing a microupdate. Just copy this on top of 6.623 comprehensive.

It is significant for Level 6 EOS - command areas now will work properly (they did in Level 5 but were "lost" during data washing due to a backdated file being used).

The new locations make movement along trails more practical - impact the economy - and will be important as river ports in many cases. When a location on a river is NOT a port - it is deliberate - because it is not a port! 60 mile hexes make this hard to see - but Ubon R... in Thailand is no where near the river - for example.

Status: offline 		These should be definitive for Level 5 and Level 6 scenarios. Unless something comes up, no changes to these are planned - and they will remain until we change some terrain/communications feature somewhere for some reason - or an error is detected.

As usual, these come in pairs - RHSPW663 = 6.63 pwhex.dat; PANPW663 is to be renamed pwhex.dat IF the Panama Canal is ever closed. RHSPW663 is used to get the normal file back after the Canal is fixed. Same for level 5.

There is still a problem with scenario 065. When i use the Witpdecoder utility I get the following error:

"no parent ShipsUpgradeOnlyToExistingTypes table: ShipClasses"

but until now i don't find the exact source of the error in the shipclass file
