Michael has a whole bunch of time off coming and I am going to limit myself to a turn a day with Dan so we can get the Mods buffed up and worked on.
I would like everyone who has been throwing out ideas for improvements, changes, and issues to take a look at their comments, put them together, and Post them again below. Try to be concise. Michael and I will do the same thing and constantly Post our work as things move forward.
Interestingly, I was re-reading my list for BtS Lite earlier today. Here it is:
Notes for BtS Lite:
1. Shokaku and Zuikaku are overloaded by 3 planes. Perhaps you should decrease the fighter squadron size by 3, just as it was done with the other 4 fleet carriers?
2. Kiso, Kitakami & Oi are in torpedo cruiser configuration (20 Long Lances per side). Is that as intended?
3. Conversion bind 404 (1033 CL Nagara -> 1037 CLAA Nagara): class 1033’s date is 12/42, while class 1037’s date is 10/42. Is that as intended?
4. Conversion bind 104 (1696 BB Fuso -> 1700 BB Fuso (Hybrid)): class 1696’s date is 12/42, while class 1037’s date is 12/43. Perhaps the bind should be (1697 BB Fuso -> 1700 BB Fuso (Hybrid)), as class 1697’s date is 7/43, or at least add it as a possibility?
5. Kiyokawa Maru-2 and Sanyo Maru-2 are the only 2 (out of 10) at-start AV FP units that can’t upgrade to the Rufe. Unless there is a doctrine reason for making those differences, perhaps it would be better if all or none are allowed to upgrade?
6. Ishitaka-1 is the only one (out of 6) at-start BC FP unit that can be upgraded to the Rufe. Unless there is a doctrine reason for making those differences, perhaps it would be better if all or none are allowed to upgrade?
7. CA Chishima, Yoshino, and Seiki’s FP units are reversed in comparison to the other CA FP units; Number 1 can upgrade to the Rufe, and number 2 can’t. For neatness’ sake, perhaps it would be better to have them the other way around?
8. CA Miyako has both Miyako-1 and Miyako-2 being able to upgrade to the Rufe. Perhaps only Miyako-2 should be able to?
9. Aoba-1 is the only unit that can be upgraded to the Rufe in the Aoba and Furutaka classes. Perhaps it should be the same in all four ships (perhaps removing Aoba-1’s ability)?
10. All IJN 2E at-start bomber units can upgrade to the Liz and Rita. Is that as intended?
11. 19th KuT-1 is the only at-start land FP unit equipped with the Pete not able to upgrade to the Rufe. Perhaps it should be able to?
12. Chinhae KuT-1 is the only at-start land FP unit equipped with the Alf that can upgrade to the Rufe. Perhaps it shouldn’t be able to?
13. The Hiryu air group is 21-24-24, and the Soryu air group is 21-21-21. Is that as intended?
14. The Junyo, Hiyo, Kaimon, and Taikaku air groups exceed capacity by 3. Is this as intended?
15. Nisshin's air group exceeds capacity by 2, and two of its 25 mm banks start with 0 ammo. It this as intended?
16. AV Sanyo Maru has a plane capacity of 9, but her air units start with sizes of 9 + 5. Perhaps they should be as other AV air units, 6 + 3?
17. The squadrons on board CVL Wellington are Australian. Is that as intended, or should they be Kiwis?
18. When they arrive, CA Algerie and CL LaMotte-Piquet have no search plane unit on board. Is that by design?
19. The NZ 3rd Div HQ arrives in July '42, but there is only one Inf Bde that is not restricted to NZ, and it arrives very, very late in the war. Is that as designed?
20. The Wilcannia-class AG Viti is the only Wilcannia-class AG that cant be converted into a PC. Is that as designed?
21. xAK Fusto Arosemena should be Justo Arosemena, with a J. He was the Panamenian/Colombian lawyer/politician responsible for negotiating the terms of building the Panama Canal.
22. French BC's need 0 shipyard size for their Aug '42 upgrade... which takes them from 291 AA to 1686 AA and gives them radars. Is that as designed?
23. The Dutch Empire-class xAK's can't be converted to AKV's. Perhaps they should be able to, since the CM Krakatau is allowed to convert to an AGP?
Cheers!
