Tweaked repair screen:





Good stuff. Is there enough room to add a "$" or "%" next to a ship that is refitting?

Can a button be added that sets all ships that are "refitting" to "Low" Priority?

It would be great to have the ability to build/expand a Repair Shipyard.


The Japanese already can expand shipyards, but as I understand it the Allies do not have this ability. It would be very nice, though.


Will never happen. It is the sort of fundamental game design change which michaelm is not authorised to implement.

Status: offline 		Conversion Panel adjustment recommendation:



Slide the text over, align the text from the right, move the button to the right side of the button. The "Back" button could go over to the now vacant lower left corner.

The reason for the change is that it saves having to go from one side of the first panel to the other side of the next panel.

If I remember correctly, the focus use to stay with the group when it moved. But players wanted the focus to remain with the CV as they wanted to transfer off other groups.


Understood. I guess what is jarring is that this only happens for CVs. It's inconsistent. I'll FiDo. Thank you.

Wait, could it go back to the CV itself and NOT the next group on the CV?

If there was a WiTP 2 I'm not sure how many engine changes would be desired/required compared to automation or UI changes to reduce the effort and or make more accessible for the player.

Example;
- add a back button in the Plane/Weapon and Ship Database after clicking on unit instead of just an exit button

I was under the impression that if a base with a merchant or naval shipyard changes hands, the shipyard should turn into a repair shipyard.

However, I just 'Occupied' a base with a merchant shipyard and it is still a shipyard. So it seems that if you don't attack and conquer the base, but rather have it 'Occupied' without a fight, the shipyards do not convert.

Working as intended or not?

That depends on if you need a before or after. I already saved over the file as this happened several turns before I noticed it.

Usually he needs before so he can see it happening with his debugger running.

When transferring a fragment of a carrier capable air group to a CV, after transfer, the map will re-center to the upper left. Repeatable.

A current save with it showing would do.

Status: offline 		This one is reproducible and has been around for quite a while. Go to a base with various kinds of air units. On the air display, click on "HB" to filter out heavy bombers. It does not work. The other filers all (AFAIK) work.

Now click on "All Types" (or whatever exact wording) to make all the groups filter out. Then click on "HB" to show (only) heavy bombers. It works.

So it seems like something is wrong with 'half' of the HB toggle.

I'll gather a save for you if you need one, but this should happen in any that you are looking at.

this is WAD but i agree it is confusing, problem is u have toggle BM on which include all level BM types, so u toggle of HB but they are stil on because BM is on.
When u toggle all types u turn off BM toggle too so next time when u turn on/off HB it works fine

No. BM covers all of the bomber types: HB, MB, AB, etc but only the HB off toggle doesn't work.

Also, if it were WAD then the two parts of the toggle (off & on) would behave in sync. But the HB off toggle does not work while the HB on toggle does work.

Yes, the toggle is slightly confused. Have correct both the land group list and the base hex list
