I've been following your thread. I did something similar in WITP and plan on doing it again with AE.

I saw some of the changes concerning adding AMCs and escorts.

Will the new AI use any of these (or need them)?

1. AO and AE. I figure the AI could use them but will it? In WITP I saw no evidence of the AI using for replenshiment.

2. CVE? In WITP I gave the AI several more CVEs, with air groups. They were never used. I thought about making all CVEs CVLs.

3. CVE with replenishment air groups?

4. Mine layers? I never saw the AI lay mines in WITP. All the mine layers were used in transport TFs.

5. AS, AD, AV and other tenders and AR? In WITP these were used in transport TFs.

6. If the AI was given a strategic bomber will it use for attacking bases and/or industries? In WITP the AI used heavy bombers to attack ground units.

Yes and no it will use replenishment TF's if you tell it to but has less need of them.

2. CVE? In WITP I gave the AI several more CVEs, with air groups. They were never used. I thought about making all CVEs CVLs.

Again yes but you need to tell it CVE/Replensihment TF CVE's and CV/CVL's are in different types of TF you need to specifiy which type you want it to use.

Typically the AI is told to use CV/CVL's more so adding those for Japan gets you more utility - Allies have more of both specified so either works for them.

3. CVE with replenishment air groups?

need to specify a replenishment TF for that one.

4. Mine layers? I never saw the AI lay mines in WITP. All the mine layers were used in transport TFs.

Not sure

5. AS, AD, AV and other tenders and AR? In WITP these were used in transport TFs.

Replenishment TF's use these types

6. If the AI was given a strategic bomber will it use for attacking bases and/or industries? In WITP the AI used heavy bombers to attack ground units.

Should do depends on targets in range and their defences

Thanks.

For question 5 I meant to ask will the AI move tenders and repair ships forward to assist in repairs? Will AVs be used to support seaplanes?

Will the AI create TFs that are not called for in the scripts? Example, if after creating called for script CVTFs it has a few CVs and escorts left over will it create a second CVTF?

Another one about CVEs with replenishment air groups. Lets say I add a replenishment TF to the scripts. At this point in time is the AI capable of recognizing a replenishment TF and having a CVTF meet up with it? I'm thinking of after an battle. Before the battle it looks like you can script the TFs to meet up. Afterwards is the trick.

Thanks again.
