IMPORTAN T - Dua l/ Quad Core Performance and Command L i ne  Switches:
We’ve found that a number of newer multi-core systems with multi-threaded graphics  dr i vers
can be particular about how they want War in the Pacific: Admiral’s Edition to work. We’ve
added a number of new command line switches which, in our experience, make it possible for
every system to get the best performance out of War in the Pacific: Admiral’s Edition. They are
defined below as “Performance Switches” and we recommend that every player give them a try
as they can even improve performance on older systems in many cases.
There are also a number of other command line switches that may be useful to players.
To use any of these, Right click to edit the Properties on the “Quick Start” shortcut to the game
(located in your Start Menu folder for War in the Pacific: Admiral’s Edition). Do not edit the
default desktop link, which points to an “autorun.exe” as that won’t work. You have to use the
Quick Start link which points directly to the game executable. You’ll want to add these to the
end of the “Target” field to get them to work. For example, when you are done your target field
could look like this:
"C:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition\War in the Pacific Admiral
Edition.exe" -wd –altFont –cpu2 –multiaudio –dd_sw
Performance  Switches
(Please note that the old –dual switch has been removed in favor of the below combination of
more configurable switches)
-SingleCpuStart : Starts the game in single CPU mode. Switches to multi CPU mode if
available later. We’ve found this to be useful on some multi-core systems, especially AMD
processors.
-SingleCpuOrders : Starts the game in single CPU mode and stays in single CPU for the orders
phase, switches to multi CPU mode for running the turn, then switches back to single mode for
the next orders phase. We’ve found this to be useful on some multi-core systems, especially
AMD processors. Use this or –SingleCpuStart, not both.
If either of the above are used with one of the -cpu# switches noted below, it will use the
specified CPU, otherwise both of these switches default to the first CPU. If a -cpu# switch and
one of these -Single switches are used, the turns will always be processed in multi-processor
mode.
-cpu# : (cpu1, cpu2, cpu3, cpu4) Switches set the cpu affinity for multi cpu systems. It will do
nothing for single cores and will default to using all cores if a core is designated which is not
there (for example using -cpu3 on a dual core system). We’ve found this to be very useful on
some multi-core systems, especially Intel processors.
If used alone, the -cpu# switches will keep the game running on the CPU specified all the time. If
used with the -SingleCpuStart switch, it will only use that core when starting the game. If used
with the -SingleCpuOrders switch, it will stay in single CPU mode for starting and the orders
phase, but will run in multicore. If one of the SingleCpu switches is used without a -cpu#  sw it ch,
it will default to cpu 1 when it is in single core.
-multiaudio : Invokes a fix that changes audio timing for multicore machines.
-dd_sw : Handles DirectDraw via Software. We’ve found this can make a huge difference on
many systems as far as reducing interface lag and making button clicking in-game more
responsive. On a few newer systems this can cause some visual glitches and slow combat
animations though, so give it a try and remove it if it’s not ideal on your system.
Performance  Examples
For example, on an Intel Dual Core system here, we use the following switches:
-cpu2 –multiaudio –dd_sw
On an AMD multi-core system, we use the following switches:
-SingleCpuOrders –cpu2 –multiaudio
Try these switches in different combinations to see what works best for your system as what
works well on one may not be ideal for another. However, we have yet to find a system that
didn’t benefit at all from at least one of these switches performance-wise, so test them out!
W i de Screen  Support
New in the third official update:
-px -py
To have any effect x must be greater than 1024 and y must be greater than 768. If values less
than or equal to px=1024 and py=768 are used the original values of 1024 and 768 will be
substituted.
Spanning mode is not supported and user should ensure that both the video adapter and monitor
support the px and py values.
We were unable to test on all possible monitor combinations, if you experience issues you should
immediately remove the –px –py from your command line switches to revert to standard display
behavior.
Examples:
-f -px1920 –py1200 for a 1920x1200 monitor in full screen mode
-w –px1680 –py1050 for windowed mode, so that the window is
within desktop
Other  Switches
-colorBlind : Support for color blindness
-deepColor : Enables 32 bit color, intended for Full Screen mode
-altFont : Enables alternate in-game font (Lucida Sans Unicode)
-w : Windowed mode
-wd : Windowed mode, daily autosaves
-ww : Windowed mode, weekly autosaves
-fd : Full screen, daily autosaves
-fw : Full screen, weekly autosaves
-r : Show Roads
-autosave : Daily autosave
-archive : Put data reports in archive directory
-skipVideo : Skip the intro video when starting the game
-fixedArt : Will not use rotating images
Change  History:
V1.01.23x10– August 23, 2014 (Game version shown as 1.7.11.23x10)
1. Seventh Update – This release is a comprehensive release updating all previous
versions to v1.01.23x10 beta
2. Code Changes
Fixed
1. Display of AF/Port icon between player saves based on player's intel
2. Return mines loaded on ship to pool when ship is upgraded. Otherwise, they are lost when
weapon list updated
3. Reported cargo/troop safety values incorrect when no cargo/troop space
4. Allow smaller 'reserve' space for small groups on ships
5. Preserve some more data when swapping fragment and parent to prevent lost of parent
6. Correct attacking plane count before final post-air combat
7. Pilot promotion may have occured in error sometimes
8. Raid detect message sometimes dropped of the combat report
9. Some TFs did not auto-refuel when at base. TF with Support ships loaded with supply
generally
10. Some pilot-leader connections were being corrupted
11. Movement bug with following units due to incorrect move indicator. Seems to fix a few
other move issues due to the incorrect indicator
12. Wrong ship sometimes reported in Ops report for TF movement which causes some damage
13. Escorts being assigned to auto-convoy TFs when not in the AC ship pool
14. Status (static,restricted,etc) filter of ground reinforcement/withdraw not working with the
date sort
15. ASW groups not allowed to attack sometimes
16. Fragment size not set sometimes at time of the fragment/parent swap. This was causing
HQ/LCU to jump to reinforcement queue
17. Bug in bomber intercept if too many rounds of fighter v fighter combat
18. Required Aviation Support is NOT capped at 250 for the human pl;ayer. This was removed
at start of AE but crept back in sometime during updates
19. Removed the fragment/parent swap during a TF unload as it could often orphan the
fragment.
20. Clear patrol levels if the patrol leveles are not valid after a aircraft upgrade
21. Additional victory conditions for post 44/45 apply only to game-time of over 3 years (ie not
short scenario). This was fixed in a previous patch but only for one of the VCs, not the full
set
22. Certain sequence of actions allowed enemy LCUs to be visible at enemy base
23. Enabled 'z' to speed up all animations; was commented out in a few animation replays
24. Bug caused F/FB to sometimes bomb at low altitude
25. Aircraft factory upgrade not always happening on time resulting in short span upgrades not
occurring properly.
26. Bug in Industry 'failed' indication not showing properly sometimes
27. Location check at scenario load to include small map sceanrios
28. Bug in air supply to fragments in a non-friendly base hex
29. Using way-points defeats some TF missions (eg bombardment) as the TF destination was
being set to homebase before execution of the mission – ie was returning to base
immediately
30. Error in Strategic map display
31. Additional and stockpile options were not turned off when base was captured
32. Correct LCUs that were being changed to a base (type 6) resulting in 2 bases showing on
mouse over
33. Army experience being gained when not 100% prepared as per manual; changed to allow
chance to gain experience if >75% prepare and < 50% national exp level
34. Army experience being gain while unit was not on map or was in a ship. Fix 33 added to
alleviate the incorrect experience gaining happening while in reinforcement queue
35. Increased road path when using STRATEGIC_MOVE to allow unit to remain on RR –
caused unit to jump “off-rail” and move overland
36. Captured base sometimes set to a incorrect HQ if LCU had a bad HQ
37. Excessive accident messages on unload from TF reported
38. Reworked editor sub-unit merging as some devices could drop off the unit list when merged
causing smaller size unit than expected
39. Corrected possible TOE error in scenario data load for inactive units
40. Air transport by seaplane to enemy bases was being allowed; a commando type unit can
however be allowed to do this.
41. Possible CTD if sinking ship's load was a group
42. Limit the number of devices built from resources per unit during LCU replacements; this
was causing an over production for that turn
43. Retain day/night setting when creating group fragments
44. Adjusted supply and fuel values in base list not to overrun the space
45. CT_APc removed from Minesweeping TF;CT_AM removed from Local Sweeping TF, but
added YMS to Sweep TF in line with manual and code
46. Auto-rebuild (1/3 of TOE) of Chinese ground unit devices is limited to Squad types as the
rule relates to the abundance of manpower and is not covered by replacement pool. Normal
rebuilding of destroyed units is not affected by this.
47. Carrier capable and trained text not showing together on Group screen
48. Handle any blank re-name changes by ignoring them
49. Possible CTD when air fragments combine
50. Unloading TF can freeze a LCU onto a ship under some conditions
51. AI not behaving if main HQs missing (affects small map mainly)
52. AI using AGC for normal land units – removed from TF if not needed
53. Soviet activation message not in Ops report
54. Correct off/on-map movement of LCU - not always behaving correctly due to the hex range
55. Clear Soviet air balance if not activated. Possible incorrect base switching
56. Sub attack against docked TF not happening for port size <3
57. Unit type changing unexpectantly
58. Torpedo replacement on plane sometimes is missed
59. Double handling of overstacked supply requirements
60. Fixed alternate weapons for port attacks
61. Corrected weapon system damage to show after combat on ships in port rather than wait till
sometimer in the ship repair cycle.
62. Ship tonnage over 32K could cause repairs to fail
63. Display message for group on ship could cause crash
64. Allow upgrade of group when “withdraw” is off
65. Patrol sub TF doesn’t return to base if it doesn't have home base
66. Setting TF name to max 25 characters wiped out TF
67. Corrected display of some weapons in a/c display
68. “Set Objective” will allow some prepare points to remain based on unit experience
69. Check torpedo supply available before deciding alternate torpedo load
70. Allow ship-based groups to draw reserve upto 3
71. Some display issues with weapon filters and missions for aircraft data
72. Issue where a weapon slot having multiple filters could lose some weapons
73. Forming TF in from base showed incorrect TF
74. Zero length TF name caused corruption to name
75. TF icon could show wrong side if TF from each side present
76. Parent LCU swapping not always working if fragment off-map
77. Error in rebuilding of editor sub-units not clearing original parent device numbers first
78. Split groups sometimes not counted as one for overloaded AF check
79. Burma Road not open if Rangoon is captured
80. Para unit not moving by seaplane
81. Partial weapon load not kicking in if ops needed exceeded ship's ops level and ammo load
exceeded 1000
82. Fixed discrepancy in base AV on some lists
83. Protect against fragments being linked to other fragments for LCUs (as in un/loading on
transports). Can lead to loss of ability to merge with unit’s parent.
84. ASW combat could result against ‘phantom’ TF when one TF had been eliminated in an
earlier combat round
85. Fixed groups could fly too far if escorting transports
86. Single plane filling of group not counting previous clicks.
87. Non-port base trying to build port (type = primary AF is NOT a port)
88. Fixed non-base disbanding of LCUs
89. Fixed transfer name box for veteran pilots missing
90. Overfilled TOE of LCU could lose a number of devices when device upgraded
91. Corrected device upgrade sometimes skipping an upgrade
92. Disabled devices not being carried forward for reinforcements when Japanese production is
on
93. Restricted filter on Unit list for 'change all on list ..' not working
94. Don't show TF to enemy player (in case it happens)
95. Troop/supply can unload from TF at an enemy 'dot' base, but once base captured, unloading
is almost impossible. Treat 'dot' base as no base for unloading purposes
96. AI swapping aircraft to different nationalities on reinforcement
97. Pilot training HI expenditure was not set in some cases
98. Strategic movement type not carried to 'set all follow/march' units
99. Missing '*' next to AA on class upgrade display
100. Disbanding VS group when not returning wasn't merged
101. New scenario LCU move direction not always correct
102. Writeoff any active ships that are in enemy port base. Possible bug if ship repairing when
base captured
103. CV groups should retain resize capability when moved back to ship. In general, any ship-
based group which is carrier trained can be resized.
104. Possible overflow error when build list of ships
105. Change direction when set for direct move. Added description to March Direction on
screen to help identify when direct move is set
106. Devices in TOE of less than 3 could cause subunits not to rebuild
107. TF destination (unload at) not allowing some TFs to return home
108. Direct move fix last patch broke scenario start move setup
109. Missing seaplane expenditure on repair attempts
110. Correct TF patrol issue when no destination hex
111. Bug in activating barge that could disband random TF (DCB)
112. Aligned unit type and suffix to coorect ‘strangeness’
113. Low endurance ships not always using fuel for small moves
114. Some ships with system damage excluded from autobuild TFs
115. Some liquid capacity not used on xAK type ships
116. Stop multiple combats where more than 500 units in a stack
117. Fixed LCU device repair bug
118. Setting same destination won't clear march distance
119. City attack not allowing 'cities' and 'ports' to be bombed. Just the first type found.
120. Made emergency mobiliation forces arrive as delay 1 so get correctly setup
121. Moving units try to build non-base forts (using supply) which are zero'ed - wasted supply
122. Ignore empty convoys when checking for arrivals
123. Issue with '0' AV units continually retreating in combat
124. Adjust ship fuel after upgrade/conversion by adjusting ship/base fuel levels
125. Catered for only 2 ships in TF that becomes crippled
126. Flak factor could be randomly reduced when checking TF flak numbers
127. Flak calculation incorrect for land units
128. Ship-based groups could fly with torp if no torpedo slot on ship
129. Enemy base damage impacting ability to use paratroops
130. Tweaked Isolated units without supply can lose more devices
131. Fixed Retain extra data from fragment when parent restored from fragment
132. Fixed Auto-base capture not kicking in if non-combat friendly unit present
133. Fixed Group upgrade not performed if ANY fragment present on or off-map
134. Fixed retreat test for isolated units in supply phase
135. Protected use of 'unload at' destination when no destination is present that could cause TF
to run off to some other destination
136. Correct display of port building % - out by factor of 10 on display
137. Port/AF attack only against bases
138. Correct barge rebuilding due to 1123n
139. Units could retreat from combat without triggering pursuit
140. CAP range not accounted for when flying with DTs in transport intercept
141. Show '0' port if ships sighted
142. Ships unable to repair should be able to go to crew-repairs (as long as no other limits)
143. AI issue with resource movement by TF
144. Port refuelling when lowest endurance ship in TF doesn't need fuel
145. Ships in port with full fuel should have full endurance
146. Fix AI over-diverting TFs to top off fuel (courtesy of Don)
147. Unloading unit attack mode not correct in some shock attacks
148. If base in hex belonged to enemy, the LCU display would still show some 'base' info (eg
supply)
149. Damaged planes in reserve could interfer with normal plane repairs
150. LBA flying from small AFs sometimes
151. Setting patrol boundary could set destination on random TF.
152. Some errors in ship transfers due to tonnage limits
153. Error in setting Ground Reinforcements globally off by menu option
154. Cleared destination data on parent unit when rebuilding
155. Auto rebuilt Chinese squads are not affect by randomization. Other devices may have
some randomly disrupted rather than lose the devices due to the randomization
156. Stop in-game update from wiping pilot HI cost
157. Forming TF in base with large ships does not undock TF.
158. Corrected replacement delay when rebuilding split air groups.
159. Tender causing resource TF not to finish loading
160. Fixed Potential to only service 150 mines if more than one ACM present
161. Fixed altitude reporting error when altitude less than 6000’.
162. Normally non-trained carrier group on a ship wont take replacements. Docked ship (in
port >2 or in TF docked) should allow this.
163. Pilot losses caused be bombs (as in bombardments) to pilots was adjusting the Allied
counts and not Japaense ones.
New
1. Show Port re-arm level on ship list screens at base. Does not account for tenders, just the
port
2. On ship display, class ammo level will be in GREEN if weapon can be reloaded at base.
Tenders not counted
3. When showing mine device on ship, show '!' next to mine ammo if can reload at base
4. Ability to transfer ship in TF screen directly (disband) to the base in the hex. Quick method
to remove damaged ships from TF
5. New filter for “non-building” devices in Industry pool screen
6. New filter for “non-building” aircraft in Air Replacement pool screen
7. On base list, an indicator is shown next to port value if any friendly mines (*) or enemy
mines (^) detected
8. New symbol setting of 19 for Commando/raider type unit. If there are extra icons in the
‘button6..’ image files, then these will be shown. If not, by default there are shown as
standard parachute unit icons
9. Air/port damage and building is shown in base mouse over
10. On base list, an indicate ‘b’ is shown next to port/af that have building turned on
11. TF can be routed to stay within coastal hexes as much as possible
12. On Top Pilot screen show the 'ace' cut-off value if more than 1
13. Added option on group and LCU reinforcement screen to turn off replacements if game
originally started with gloabal replacements ON.
14. Current base can get supply returned to it when reserve planes returned which were
originally supplied from another base
15. Unit type filter on Troop Loading screen
16. Report killed ground units if not in combat report
17. “In port” and “In TF” filters for forming/transferring new TFs
18. Set all ships to current repair mode in base Repair screen
19. Add a cargo factor for the 3-day supply when showing Amphib TF for troop loading.
Removed additional cargo factor (x4) but kept 3-day supply when showing Amphib TF for
troop loading
20. Extended class name to some of the screens that have a mouse-over on the ship name.
21. Show Electronics data in in-game database view
22. Ability to change combat/strat mode in Load TF screen
23. Indicate moving unit on Location column mouse-over on army unit list
24. Show Upgrade and Replacement option by LCU on army unit list
25. Added message when LCU can't march directly to a hex
26. Added ability to return supply-driven ships to the pool from ship list screen. Slight menu
alignment changes.
27. Added reinforcement numbers for small craft to show as (x/y), where x is normal delay and
y is delayed but built (no additional building costs)
Changed
1. AF of 8+ have AV support doubled for purposes of determing support for air operations
(complements fix 18 above)
2. Permanently increased pilot array to 70K
3. Increased number of air combat rounds are a factor of total aircraft involved
4. Allowed submap to submap movement if land connected for land units. Should have been
so as per Andrew Brown
5. Restored the 'space' key operation for AI games. Added Cntl-Z to act as the quick message
delay toggle instead
6. Aircraft being grounded for maintenance factors in durability also. This will spread out the
maintenace a bit more
7. Support device replacements won't decrease the overall experience of LCU units. This does
not alter the overall EXP change due when any replacements are received.
8. For symbol type 19, the unit acts as if a parachute type. There should be a distinction
between the two but could break current games.
9. Some LCU Prep points may be retained if unit is experienced
10. Treating planes under maintenance as Reserves when calculating planes on ship if group is
at maximum size
11. Added DT_ASW to aircraft weapon display (can still be used as weapon, but not shown on
screen)
12. Cancelling from 'Form new TF' will return to original TF rather than close the TF screen
13. Only allow a/c weapon upgrade if profiling on to protect incorrect data in old scenarioes
14. Removed group type of CHUTAI from small unit check for overloaded AF check
15. Added any group with maximum size of <9 as small unit for overloaded AF check
16. Allow disabled planes in withdrawing groups to go to pool if base in mainland USA or
Japan, rather than treated as losses
17. Mission run-in speed change. In some cases, TF can switch to mission speed for quick
move in a phase (bombardment, near destination). The check for the distance to destination
was based solely on max phase move (ie 12 hex) not the actual mission speed. The check
has been changed to use the mission speed rather than the max 12 hex.
18. Increased effect of same air hq and group leader (and removed raid leader affect) on raid
coordination
19. Removed 'torpedo failed' message when no hits made by sub
20. Land based flak influenced by device's 'accuracy' value inline with naval flak
21. Split LCU Upgrade from Replacement so both can be used independently
22. Allow Crippled (ESCORT) TF to auto-disband into port once it reaches its Home base
23. Auto-disbanded Escort TF with heavy damage (>50 float or >70 system) in port 3+ go into
Pierside repair
24. Adjusted air filter to right justify in order stop overruns on wide font
25. Suppressed build rate if device has to be built from production/resources
26. Restored original code that allowed LI,REF to produce when enemy LUC in hex
27. Partially restore original code that allowed HI to produce, but only if no enemy LCU or for
port >3, no enemy TF in hex
28. Restored original downgrading of device for arriving Japanese LCU if unable to fully
satisfy from pool before dropping by 75% (production on)
29. Allow overdue ship groups to withdraw from ship in base hex rather than move ashore
30. Tweak TF transfer screen for ships in TF
31. Allow carrier based groups to pick out of range city attack. Inline with port/af attack
32. Show on LCU screen if enemy in next hex and/or crosssing river in movement
33. Check for enemy in hex only when moving into hex, allow move if own base present, or
moving unit stronger than enemy AV, or no enemy combat units, or friendly combat units
present – was interring with AI
34. Reverse base checking order for supply movement every 3rd turn. High numbered bases
sometimes missed out on supply if in a nest of low numbered bases.
35. Allow AI to return to the supply pool some small ships. This also corrects the player
returning small ships to the pool and having to pay Shipyard building points again.
36. Upgrading ships with any cargo will attempt to offload it while in port (ie not part of TF) so
can start upgrade.
37. Units with static squad/engineer devices can't retreat. This is inline with the design but did
not work if there were none left in the unit.
38. Re-arranged air transport intercept for messages
39. Naval bombardment sometimes stopped short range ships from firing if longer range ones
present
40. Changed Allow inactive pilots to be selected if group 100% training
41. Maxed out ship ops on refueling
42. Add right-clock to 'Refuel ships in list' for ammo rather than fuel
43. Replenish from port with 'no refuel option' will attempt to replenish ammo only
44. Global replacement OFF now includes upgrades for reinforcements
45. Mark as “loaded” for ships that cannot load troops in Fast Transport TF – was stopping
load process from ending
46. LCU don't start to move until unpacked (use to be that this only applied to units starting a
STRATEGIC_MOVE)
47. Limit return fire from LCU in defend/bombard stance when being bombarded only.
48. Add option to activate pilots in a group
49. Modified ACM to use the ship’s endurance/fuel rather than port fuel
50. Undocked TF in home base was not expending any endurance, although it does in a non-
home base. Such TFs will randomly expend a small amount of endurance.
51. Added air groups filter to loading TF screen, and made items not selectable if filter is off
52. When checking for low ASW ammo, ignore ships with NO ASW weapons as
distinct from having no ammo available.
53. Handle case where top HQ is also a Command Hq attached to another Command
Hq. Not really expected.
Notes
1. The main HQs (slots 1-27 and 100-134 for Japanese and Allied respectively) in a scenario
should not change player or HQ, even if not in play. These original HQs are used by the AI
routines so changing or deleting them can put the AI off. Changing other elements should
be okay.
2. Clarification to weapon filters for aircraft:
PM_CITY_ATTACK 1  // used for city attacks
PM_NAVAL_ATTACK  2  // used for naval attacks
PM_NAVAL_ATTACK2  4  // alternate for naval attack (like torp replacement)
PM_LAND_ATTACK 8  // used for land (ground) attack
PM_PORT_ATTACK 16  // used for port attack
PM_AF_ATTACK 32  // used for AF attack
PM_ASW_ATTACK 64  // used for ASW attack
Dropped any reference to secondary values for land and AF as they served no special use.
3. New symbol 19 (Commando/raider) was added in build 1112. This acts like symbol 13 in
games started before 1123.
In newer games, parachute symbol (13) units can drop from planes, and commando symbol
(19) units can be moved by submarine. Both types can be moved by seaplane to an enemy
base.
If there is no specific art for units with symbol 19, then it defaults to the symbol 13 art. The
art is in “Button6_AUS.bmp” files; the next block at the end of current file.
Clarification changes
1. Some clarification and changes in regard to use of the Soviet Motherland bases. These
bases are those defined as having an original Soviet hex ownership of SOV_UNION (90),
MONGOLIA(91) or TANNU_TUVA(92).
a. Allied non-Soviet groups can't transfer to Soviet Motherland bases
b. Allied non-Soviet LCUs can't move into Soviet Motherland hexes
c. Alied non-Soviet LCUs can be landed by ship or air at Soviet Motherland bases
after Soviets are activated, but can’t move
d. Allied non-Soviet TFs or ships can't replenish from Soviet Motherland ports, even if
disbanded in port.
e. Allied merchant ships assigned to Soviet Hqs will become Soviet ships permanently
f. Re-assigning base command of Soviet Motherland bases needs to also be Soviet
V1.01. 08r9 – January 21, 2012
1. Sixth Official Update – This release is a comprehensive release updating all previous
versions to v1.01.08r9
2. Code Changes
Fixed
1. Possible LCU or Task Force being lost if not set-up properly at scenario start.
2. Travel delay for East Coast and off-map movement for group leaders.

v1.00.95 - December 7, 2009
• Second Official Update – This release is comprehensive and updates ALL previous
versions to the v1.00.95 level.
IMPORTANT: Please also read the new “Interface Addendum” and the “Pilot
Management Addendum” which have been added to your Documentation shortcut sub-
folder and can also be found in your /Manuals installation sub-directory. These two
documents contain very important information on improvements and changes in these
areas.
• Code Changes
1. Interface Improvement: New Screen for Industrial Management
2. Gameplay Change: Air transport mission was using all ready planes. Now the
number of available planes for the mission will be adjusted by the rest/training
percent as on other missions.
3. Excess aircraft now returned to the aircraft pool, if possible, when a group downsizes
4. Reduced maximum ranks for USAAF groups’ pilots. Also allows more leaders to
show in change command list
5. Gameplay Change: Torpedo training for groups is now dependent on the ‘Use
Bombs’ flag rather than the altitude setting
6. Gameplay Change: Full base screen now show the consistent over-stacked AF
indicator ‘*’
7. Pilots who are captured or killed were still being counted in some group totals. They
are now removed from group’s pilot count, but still available for ‘Top pilots’.
8. Interface Improvement: The buttons in the lower panel of the main screen have been
improved. With the mouse over the icons on the far left, the number of groups, task
forces or LCUs at the base is shown. Added a previous page button when there are
more than 26 of those items (i.e. more than 2 ‘pages’) present in the hex. The tooltips
sometimes were corrupted when other screens were displayed on the map and the
bottom panel was still active. This has been corrected.
9. It is now possible to repair planes in excess of the group’s size
10. Gameplay Change: Adjustments made to air skill in training and combat. Skill
training is incremental. Points are accumulated and once a certain level is reached, a
point is added to the skill. The cutover level is the current skill level; so as the skill
level increases, it takes more accumulated points to reach the next level. Combat
gains points faster than training, and combat is required to reach 70+ skill levels.
Experience levels behave similarly with the one exception. If the Experience level is
higher than the best skill by more than 5, a skill based on the group’s mission gains
the accumulated points instead.
11. AI improvement to include more checking of TFs for lack of aircraft, sorties, damage,
ammo and return to base if required
12. AI Aircraft production will now stop based on comparison with on map aircraft totals
13. Gameplay Change: Malaria effects adjusted
14. Fixed bug preventing port construction in certain cases
15. Fixed bug preventing combat engineers from building
16. AI improvement refining settings for LCU attack levels
17. Corrected unit TOE loading bug
18. Correct bug setting default morale and experience when not provided by editor
19. AI additional checks for level bomber base sizes
20. Numerous supply tracing improvements
21. Numerous supply/resource movement improvements
22. Corrected several land unit fragment bugs.
23. Adjustments to TF merge function. TFs may fail to merge if the “meeting” TF arrives
at the destination of the “met” TF before the “met” TF does. Also adjust meeting
process to reduce chances that the meeting will not take place until one or the other TF
reaches the “met” TF destination.  Also correct a problem TF could
“merge” with a TF that no longer exists under certain rare circumstances.
24. Corrected bug preventing formation of TFs at level-0 port. This was due to lack of
docks at a level 0 port and the standard practice of creating TFs as docked to facilitate
fueling/arming/loading of ships in the TF. Newly formed TFs will continue to be
docked if the port has the dock space for them, but will auto-undock when adding a
ship to the TF causes it to exceed the port capacity.
25. Adjustments to naval retreat determination. TFs retreating after combat will now be
less likely to retreat to hexes containing other enemy forces and be more likely to
retreat toward a friendly base.
26. Interface Improvement: Change to the “set all …” buttons on ship based air units: it
is possible to set aircraft or type in (a) the hex or (b) a TF. Or if the ship is disbanded
in port, (c) ships in port (disbanded).
27. Interface Improvement: Implement search arc drawing on map
28. Corrected torpedo rearming bug. Correct restrictions that prevented partial rearming,
ensure partial rearming is in full mount increments, and adjust ops usage according.
29. Fixed naval support availability bug. Naval Support in HQ units that were actually at
a base were incorrectly excluded from Naval Support totals at that base. This was
due to an error in calculation of Naval Support availability over HQ Command radius.
30. Corrected LCU fragment TF load issues. A TF set to load a land unit at one location
could improperly interact with fragments of the same parent that were at other
locations and had been previously loaded by either the TF or one of the  sh i ps
curren tl y in the TF or, if the load required multiple days, when unloading of other
fragments of the same unit caused and automatic switch of a fragment to the prime
unit.
31. Corrected bug to allow repair of damaged devices even if ship has no other damage.
Previously repair of all system/floatation/engine damage would terminate repair of a
ship that also had a damaged device (weapon, radar, etc). Damaged weapons will
now prevent full repair of systems damage and may “create” small amounts of system
damage to keep the ship eligible for repairs. Note that this may have the affect of
small amounts Systems damage being not repairable at a location where it normally
would be repairable if that location can not also repair the damaged devices(s).
32. Interface Improvement: Changed Allied aircraft replacement display to show nation
of aircraft
33. Corrected several menu bugs
34. Corrected TF pick up bug. Multiple small errors could prevent successful pick up of
land units by TFs.
35. Interface Improvement: Add “undo” for ships being transferred during  sh i p
transfer. Previous undo only functioned properly for ships being transferred into the
selected TF. Provided undo for ships transferred out of the selected TF.
36. Corrected bug causing ships to move in excess of maximum speed when in a TF that
is following another TF that is beyond the player-set follow distance.
37. Change ship based aircraft repairs to be by plane, instead of by group
38. Interface Improvement: Made air group screen larger to reduce clutter
39. Gameplay Change: Adjustments to supply consumption by land units
40. Change to AI shock attack determination
41. Improve AI awareness of intel on nearby enemy LCU
42. Gameplay Change: Changes to AI LCU upgrades on “Historical” level
43. Gameplay Change: Changes to AI production on “Historical” level
44. Improvements to save file process to reduce chance for file corruption, especially by
deleting the old save before writing the new one
45. Interface Improvement: Auto set the filter to skip over Soviet ships if not active
46. Improvements to refueling calculations and processes. Ships are more likely to fuel
from bulk oil supplies on oilers/tankers. Also adjusted the refueling and rearming
sources for the “from port” and “at sea” variations.
• Replenish from Port will now use the available fuel/supply at the port and on all
replenishment ships disbanded into the port. For those disbanded into the port,
only the fuel/supply cargo of fuel ships, ammo ships, and tenders will be used.
Tenders must be of the appropriate type for the ship being replenished. Note that
port facilities are used in preference and ships in the port are only used if the  por t
i s not able to completely replenish the ships in the TF.
• Replenishment at Sea when the TF is in the same hex as a friendly base will now
use all ships in TFs in the same hex but will no longer use ships disbanded into a
port in the hex.
47. Interface Improvement: Add new map icons to highlight certain events
48. Gameplay Change: Allow ship withdrawals at any on map level-9 port and some
smaller ports with no enemy nearby. Ships can always be withdrawn from any off-
map port or from any TF that is currently off map. Ships that are not badly damaged
can be withdrawn from some on-map ports or from TFs in certain on-map regions.
For on map, ship may not be on fire, total damage may not exceed 99 and no
individual damage type (system, floatation, engine) may exceed 50. Ships may not
be withdrawn from any on-map location where the enemy has air superiority. The
intent is to prevent withdrawal as a method of saving a ship that stands a good chance
of being lost or further damaged. On map withdrawal ports are set based on the
historical exit locations for ships leaving the Pacific:
1. Any level 9 port.
2. National home ports of the United States, Canada, India, Australia, and New
Zealand (with no port level requirement)
3. Any level 7 or larger port on the US or Canadian West Coast.
4. Any level 7 or larger Indian port East of Ceylon (including Ceylon itself)
5. Any level 7 or larger port in South Eastern Australia, plus Perth.
6. Any level 7 or larger port in New Zealand.
49. Changes to ship sunk FoW. When a ship is being falsely reported as sunk in place of
another ship actually sunk, the data for the two ships could be mixed. Depending on
circumstance, this might result in one or even both ships being reported as sunk.
50. Corrections to calculations of AA, ASW, Gun and Torp ammo for display on TF and
TF list screens. The calculation will continue to show the remaining ASW capability
(i.e. only ships with ammo remaining) but the percentage of ASW ammo remaining is
now based on full load for all ships in the TF.
51. Resupply capacity for bases added to editor
52. Fix for disbanding of Command HQs to prevent inadvertent release of restricted units
53. Adjustment to AI unit planning level based on AI difficulty
54. Ensure minefields are created for proper player when a single TF lays multiple types
of mines. Player of minefield properly set when first mine type laid by a given
minelayer but a similar check was missing when the TF contained minelayer(s) with
two different types of mines.
55. Gameplay Change: Change to partisan effects. Only port and AF are damaged and
10% loss of supply and fuel, and 1 VP and no supply movement into or through hex
for owning player, if partisans attack and cause damage.
56. Gameplay Change: Movement rates for clear and desert changed to 25 for
mechanized units
57. Gameplay Change: Land combat effects toned down
58. Ensure AI captures empty bases
59. Gameplay Change: Allowed groups on disbanded ships to do training missions to
save from moving them ashore. Training from disbanded ships does not increase the
pilot mission count.
60. Changed the autosave file name to pwae_#<scenario number>_<game date>.pws in
order to help identification of saves
61. Gameplay Change: Improvements to Pilot Management System (see separate “mini-
manual”)
62. Gameplay Change: Placed limits on glide bombing altitudes. A TD/DB/FB/F group
must be at 10-20K altitude to perform glide bombing, otherwise it is a normal level
bombing attack. Groups were at maximum altitude and conducting glide bombs
attack, sometimes without engaging CAP or flak.
63. Changes in order to standardize inactive Soviet group’s training options;
64. Interface Improvement: Added pilot select mode (auto/manual) to group lists (see
Pilot Management for more details). The number of pilots on the group lists is RED if
less than the number of ready planes in the group, indicating a shortage of pilots. This
shortage may be filled automatically or manually for a mission based on the  p il o t
se l ec t mode.
65. Corrected issues with group destruction on scuttled or sunk ships and groups on
withdrawing ships
66. Gameplay Change: More superstructure and fewer deck hits in Naval Combat at
close range
67. Gameplay Change: Greater weighing of crew experience in surface combat
68. Gameplay Change: Limited radar directed fire, increasing over time
69. Gameplay Change: Revised weather and spotting, resulting in fewer surface
combats at 1000 yards
70. Gameplay Change: PT Boats less likely to attack in daylight
71. Gameplay Change: Submarines less likely to be hit in deep water, more likely to be
hit in ports and rivers
72. Gameplay Change: Submarine captain ratings have more influence on Submarine
performance
73. Torpedo hits on escorts not showing in combat report bug fixed
74. Gameplay Change: Aerial ASW less powerful in early war
75. Pilots still flying planes from sunken ships were treated as losses, resulting in any
diverted fragments having planes but no pilots. Pilots still flying planes are now
ignored for sinking ship purposes until their plane lands.
76. Group transfers in off-map bases from a ship in the base hex to the base itself were
being delayed ‘4’ days. There should be no delay.
77. Scenario Design: Aircraft can be added to convoys, which will be added to pool when
the convoy disbands.
78. Gameplay Change: The kamikaze activation range has been changed from 15 to 20
hexes. The range was not changed when the game scale was changed.
79. Fixed bug when displaying search arcs at a base
80. Fixed Escape key on Industry Management screen
81. Fixed oil and resource in totals on Industry Management screen
82. Interface Improvement: Add an extra line to the Industry Management to show total
shut down industry on Industry Management screen
83. Interface Improvement: Add base select to Industry Management
84. Gameplay Change: Any seaplane, rest/training and/or fragment group counts as
ONE group for Admin stacking purposes; the presence of all three in a base counted
as 3 groups for Admin
85. Fixed a loop that can sometimes happen when a ship upgrade changes air groups
86. Fixed set of secondary mission on a Training mission for some fighter-types; NF and
FF being affected by old stock code that cleared the secondary mission.
87. Fixed an intermittent issue with tool tips not showing for random bases/LCUs/TFs.
88. Fixed an issue with tool tips being offset from actual hex when forming new
taskforces
89. Added the saving of preferences on save; the preferences on PBEM saves occurred on
the end of turn save only. Preferences are now restored as saved for the player at the
time.
90. Changed air supply mission to use a friendly base as destination, if both a base and
LCUs are present in the hex; it was sometimes giving the supply to the first unit only
91. Fixed air supply drops to a hex containing both friendly and enemy units; often the
mission was canceled because the enemy LCU was selected as the first unit in the
hex.
92. Adjusted TF refueling to prevent ops expenditure of ships that do not need fuel.
93. Prevent very low grade TF commanders from returning single ship TFs to port to
rearm when rearming not needed.
94. Fixed the supply cap and monsoon effects on supply
95. Gameplay Change: Removed the wastage of resources/oil/fuel during overland
movement.
96. Gameplay Change: Prevent supplies moving from a Soviet base to a Chinese base
when Soviets are inactive.
97. Tweaked resupply task force to Japanese bases.
98. Fixed a HQ/Chinese unit respawning bug.
99. Restricted permanently disband/withdrawing air groups from being able to the the
“Trainer” option in the type of pilots to use.
100.  Restrict the options available to pilot movement in permanently
disband/withdrawing air groups; mainly restricted to making them active or in-active
within the group.
101.  Fixed error in splitting air groups caused detachments not-in-play still attached to
parent group - stops divide ability
102. Fixed an issue where some autosaves could reset game options.
103. Disabled the ability to make a group a temporary on-map Trainer.
104. On-map Trainers will have a higher chance of OpsLoss for low EXP and/or high
FATIGUE pilots.
105. Made some adjustments to Kamikaze effectiveness.

• Map/Base Changes
1. Garrison levels in China have been increased for both the Japanese and the Chinese.
New level for the Japanese is about 5,000 AV. For non-occupied China, about 1,400
AV.
2. Garrison levels in Japan have been significantly increased for the Allies.
3. Garrison levels in India and the Philippines have been increased for the Japanese.
4. Garrison levels have also been adjusted in other locations, with some areas having
small increases.
5. The inland "Chinchow" base in Manchukuo was a Port. It is now corrected to be an
Airfield.
6. The starting fuel level for Los Angeles has been increased.
7. The Adak Island base in Alaska has had its port level decreased from 2 to 1.
8. Anchorage in Alaska now generates a small amount of resources.
9. The Dutch Harbor base in Alaska has had its port level decreased from 4 to 3.
10. The Kiska Island base in Alaska has had its port level decreased from 1 to 0.
11. Nukufetau has had its port level decreased from 1 to 0.
12. Pago Pago has had its port level decreased from 3 to 2.
13. The Christmas Island base no longer generates resources. The Christmas Island (IO)
base does instead.
14. "Ahmadabad" has been renamed to "Ahmedabad".
15. The generation of Daily supplies at Chinese bases has been distributed to more bases,
rather than being concentrated in a small number of locations. Overall,  Ch i nese
supp l y point generation  has increased, to about the same level of supplies as in the
original War in the Pacific game (it was a bit lower before).
16. Australia now generates a greater supply point surplus than before - about 5,000
points per day as opposed to about 4,000. Fuel requirements remain the same.
17. The "Terrace" base has been "moved" to a more accurate location - hex 200,41
instead of hex 200,40 - and the road and railway networks in the area changed to
match
v1.00.84e Hotfix – September 15, 2009
• Code Changes
1. Corrected an array boundary issue causing occasional crashes.
2. Removed the invalid ship file update from the data update process. This change is in
accordance with the documentation for 1.00.84. Games that were already “updated”
their data from previous versions to 1.00.84 will unfortunately already have the bad
ship file data, but this hot fix allows games that have not yet been updated to safely
update. Please note that this issue did not affect new games started with 1.00.84.
v1.00.84 – September 9, 2009
• First Official Update
More Performance Improvements for a ll systems, espec i a ll y those w i th  multi- core
processors. See the “Performance Swi tches” sect i on  above.
• Upgrading an Existing Game
When you load an older save file, the following improvement/changes will
automatically be incorporated into your game.
1. Code Changes
2. Device Changes
3. Aircraft Changes
4. TO&E Changes (these will only take effect when a unit gets to its next TO&E
upgrade  po i n t )
5. Ship Class Changes (these will only take effect when a ship gets to its next
upgrade point)
6. Map changes
The following improvements/changes will only be immediately available if you start
a new game. Some will be applied as noted above when a unit reaches its next
upgrade point.
1. Air Group changes
2. Ship changes
3. Base Data changes
4. Unit Location changes
5. AI Script changes
If you are playing a PBEM game, make sure both players upgrade at the same time or
you will see out of sync issues and other possible errors appearing in your game.
• New Scenarios
1. New Scenarios #7, 8 and 9: “Quiet China” variants. These are identical t o
scenar i os #1, 2 and 6, but with a chance to the AI to make China a “dormant” theater.
These are intended for players who do not wish to concern themselves with
operations in China. By playing these variants, you can effectively ignore China
without having any significant effect on the rest of the war. Important ote: You
will still see some initial activity in China in these scenarios, for the first few  weeks,
as the AI makes adjustments to its local positions, but it should become dormant soon
and not embark in major strategic offensives.
2. New Scenario #10: “Ironman” variant. This is a scenario intended for play against
the Japanese AI. This is for players who want the most challenging experience
possible against the AI, but be aware that this adds forces to the Japanese AIs roster
that are beyond the historical roster of forces the Japanese had available at the start of
the war. Still, for those who want the ultimate challenge, try fighting this “beefed up”
Japan. For those who want a tougher AI fight without any ahistorical forces, give
Scenario #2 a try.
• Code Changes
3. Interface Improvement: A button has been added to the LCU list screen to allow
global operation mode setting.
4. Interface Improvement: Buttons added in the Base list screen to allow global build
set for port, airfield, and fort independently.
5. A problem with aircraft side art being drawn on the map has been prevented by
ensuring the icon pointer can never get too large and point off into the aircraft art.
6. Cross loading of Motorized support as if it were regular support was preventing some
Task Forces from finishing loading. Fixed.
7. Improper use of data for base “0” by an undocked TF that is loading from a base has
been fixed.
8. Land units that were aboard ships were being landed without proper supply levels.
Also supply was not being transferred during unit merge or prime unit swap. Fixed.
9. The conditions for dash-in/dash-out by Bombardment, Surface Combat, Fast
Transport and Mine laying TFs include a check intended for AI forces being used for
human controlled forces as well. Fixed.
10. When a TF was in a large region of enemy air superiority it may not have properly
found a "safe" location to retreat to, setting and resetting a retreat for each hex moved.
The selection of retreat path algorithm has changed to reduce the chances of a TF
retreating too far away from its destination.
11. In the Naval Database, some AA weapons were being listed as ASW weapons. Fixed.
12. Naval Support Squads in Command HQs were not being used. Fixed.
13. The transfer of loaded ships between transport and amphibious TFs is now prevented.
14. New Feature: Threat Tolerance. The ability for players to specify differing threat
tolerance levels has been added (on the Task Force Routing screen). The new
function allows the player to specify a TF’s Tolerance for detected enemy threats that
could cause the TF to auto-retreat.
Tolerance has four levels:
a. Normal: No offsets to retreat calculation.
b. Low: Lower threat tolerance = higher chance of retreat from detected threats.
c. High: Higher threat tolerance = lower chance of retreat from detected threats.
d. Absolute: Absolute threat tolerance = TF will never retreat from detected threats.
15. TFs set to FULL speed do not actually go FULL speed. Fixed.
16. TF post-battle retreat logic has been altered. More intelligent one-hex retreat after
battle, considering destination and home port distance, and the presence of enemy
TFs in possible retreat hexes, has been added.
17. Damaged subs were attacking enemy TFs. Fixed.
18. In some cases, having an unusual set of options and random target assignments for a
sub patrol TF could result in the TF not routing and the game to crash. Fixed.
19. Mine laying TFs were not mining their home ports. Fixed.
20. The “Transfer to base” function within “Transfer Ships” did not check the nationality
of base in the hex and was allowing the transfer of ships from one side to a base of
the other side. Fixed.
21. When a ship was to be upgraded, the program was forcing the ship into Pierside
Repair if the total damage (upgrade plus pre-existing) was high enough. However the
existing repair method was not being checked, so ships in other repair modes
(Shipyard or Repair Ship) were being blindly moved into Pierside Repair. Fixed.
22. A "No additional repair possible" message was being generated when a ship assigned
to Repair Ship repairs could still be repaired by repair ship,s but the Repair ship(s)
were out of ops for the turn. Fixed.
23. Changing the repair mode of a ship, then cancelling the change would result in the
clearing of the minimum conversion delay value for that ship. Fixed.
24. Transferring ships under repair in a Shipyard to Readiness was allowing them to be
selected for Task Forces immediately, instead of after the specified delay. Fixed.
25. For Japanese Cargo -> Troop Conversions, ship details changed but the changes did
not appear when forming Task Forces, when ships are listed in the ship selection
screen for Task Force (TF) formation. Fixed.
26. Gameplay Change: If the minimum specified shipyard size for a ship upgrade is
smaller than the minimum shipyard size able to be used by that ship, then the ship can
upgrade using “pierside” repair for the upgrade, as long as the ship is at a base with a
shipyard at least as large as the size specified for the upgrade, and as long as the
upgrade does not apply flotation or engine damage. If flotation or engine damage is
applied by an upgrade, then the ship MUST be placed in a shipyard for the upgrade.
27. Fixed a range calculation error for TFs moving directly off map, to do with the
interaction of the on-map and off-map portions of range calculation. With the direct
off map movement BOTH were adding in the entry-zone to off-map portion - one as
proper movement and one as improper "return to home port".
28. The calculation for the allocation of remaining fuel operations when a port had large
amounts of fuel, and the operations limit was reached before refueling was
completed, would overflow the ship fuel value resulting in a negative endurance
value. Fixed.
29. A following TF may teleport to the location of the followed TF when the followed TF
reaches its destination. Fixed.
30. The “Rearm from tender” process was using the wrong variable in checking what
ships can rearm from an AG. Also for non-DDs from an AD. Fixed.
31. Gameplay Change: Adjustments have been made to the routine steaming damage
function to make it more difficult to keep PTs at sea for long periods. It was modified
to accumulate considerable damage for PTs under extended steaming and  a l so
i ncrease chances for major events (breakdowns, running aground or on reef, etc).
32. Gameplay Change: The React range for PT boat TFs has been restricted so that it
may not be set higher than 1 hex.
33. Gameplay Change: To avoid high losses, PT TF's will now mostly evade/decline
combat with enemy combat TFs during daylight hours.
34. Interface Improvement: When TFs are loading units, any units that are in the wrong
mode for loading, instead of not showing up at all in the list, will show up on the
"Load Troops" list as grayed out (not selectable) and with text indicating a reason
why the unit cannot be loaded.
35. The buttons for step through the TF's in a hex were not working properly. Fixed.
36. In some cases, Sub TFs were leaving station with too little fuel to get home. Adjusted
the conditions for automatic leaving of patrol zone to refuel. Also found and fixed
several AI interactions with TFs en route to home base, and some more exposed  by
t he fact that the home port was out of fuel.
37. In some circumstances, US Subs were rebasing to San Francisco when Manila fell.
Fixed.
38. Gameplay Change: The TF selection routine for combat has been adjusted so that
surface groups more frequently are chosen by other surface groups for naval combat.
39. Gameplay Change: The role of ship experience in surface combat has been
increased.
40. Gameplay Change: The Withdraw for ships that have a withdrawal pending is now
always available whenever the ship is in an appropriate port, regardless of the time
before the withdrawal is due.
41. Ship nationality and current location has been added to the Ship Transfer detail
display.
42. TFs can now load the last few points of supply and fuel from a base if there are no
requirements for them at the base.
43. Ships that were not supposed to be able to be transferred into a docked TF, due to
tonnage limits, were displayed as not able to be transferred, but could be transferred
anyway. Fixed.
44. It was possible that some reaction values and other data were not being cleared from
an old TF record when a new TF was formed using the same TF data slot. Fixed.
45. Gameplay Change: The damage cut-off point for Submarines returning to patrol was
too high, resulting in subs returning to patrol with fairly high amounts of damage. The
cut-off points have been reduced to the following: 10 points of system damage;  no
f l oa t damage; 10 points of engine damage with no points of major engine damage; no
fires.
46. Gameplay Change: The way that surface radar is used in naval combat has been
modified as follows: Visual confirmation is now required before ships will open fire,
meaning that ships must close to visual range first. Also, in situations where range is
increasing, if it goes beyond visual range (factoring in Detection Level) fire ceases.
47. Gameplay Change: Early war surface radars now must pass an “effectiveness”
check to ensure that the radar worked correctly and that the information from the
radar was assimilated through the TF chain of command and ultimately resulted in
useful changes of orders being issued to the TF in a timely manner.
48. Gameplay Change: Local Minesweeping TFs no longer require that destination be
set to their home port to operate in that port. These TFs will now operate in their
home port if just the Home Port value is set.
49. Gameplay Change: Local Minesweeping TFs will now consume fuel and be
exposed to operational damage even if they do not find mines. This makes the
operation of these TFs consistent with ordinary Minesweeping TFs.
50. A submarine in a mine laying TF with mines already loaded in place of torpedoe
tubes, and which was then ordered to rearm, would falsely reduce the mine pool by
the number of mines already loaded. Fixed.
51. Gameplay Change: ACMs maintaining friendly minefields will now consume fuel
and suffer operations damage.
52. The routine that checks to see if a ship has loaded all of a land unit that it can did not
properly account for cross load costs. This could give the impression that a unit could
load completely, when in fact it could not due to cross load penalties. This, in turn,
prevented the switchover from loading troops to loading supplies. Fixed.
53. Adjusted Speed in the Reinforcement Ship Display to show true speed,  w it hou t
regard to lack of fuel due to ships newly constructed on-map arriving without fuel on
board.
54. Pilots sent to be instructors were sometimes disappearing from the game. Fixed.
55. Pilots undergoing training off-map were getting skill increases, but the increases
weren't being displayed until they returned from a mission. Skills are now updated at
the end of each turn even if the pilot has not flown a mission.
56. Gameplay Change: Experience gain for training pilots is now slower.
57. Pilots not yet in the game were being allocated to new air groups. Fixed.
58. Gameplay Change: When fragments are created by the transfer of air units to a new
base, the fragments will automatically transfer to the new base by rail if that is
possible.
59. Automatic LRCAP should now not occur for human players.
60. Gameplay Change: Off-map movement of air units without ready planes is now
allowed.
61. Corrected the transfer of pilots to Training Command – some were being released
back to pool or to other groups.
62. Added checks to ensure pilots were correctly assigned to planes in the same group,
and in reverse.
63. Fixed the nationality filter on the air group list screen. It was not checking the setting
for replacements and upgrades.
64. Fixed activation of dormant air groups on a ship class upgrade – VBF units were
showing up ahead of time.
65. Fixed the error caused by clicking on a base/TF/anchor/etc symbol while setting
search arcs on the map.
66. Units with Aviation support devices can now repair aircraft at off-map bases.
67. Changed the float plane count on the “Task Force” mouse over to show total float
planes.
68. Fixed air naval attack missions that would sometimes attack bases rather than rest as a
secondary mission.
69. Fixed the faulty check on Air Operational Loss that was adding non-combat losses to
air-to-air instead of Operational Loss.
70. Fixed the aircraft replacement build intervals which were finishing a month too early.
71. Gameplay Change: Seaplanes are no longer counted against the aircraft stacking
level when in a coastal base.
72. Gameplay Change: Command level headquarter units now behave like an Air  HQ
for the purpose of determining the over-stacking limits of airfields. The effect radius
of a command HQ extends out to twice the command radius, but only applies half the
affect when the distance to the base is more than the command radius.
73. Interface Improvement: The air skill changes for pilots are shown in GREEN for
the last played turn, and ORANGE for monthly changes.
74. Interface Improvement: Added a button to the air group screen to get the maximum
number replacement planes if possible. A number of groups come back without
planes so this option is important for player controlled replacements.
75. Gameplay Change: The default British arrival base has changed to Aden, and then
United Kingdom.
76. The AI now has the ability to request additional supply for bases, based on the need
of units fighting close by.
77. Gameplay Change: When calculating the bonus for land unit planning for a target,
the land unit and its HQs (corps and command) must be planning for same target to
get the full HQ bonuses.
78. For the AI - Better checking for ensuring that an advance base is friendly when
building AI TFs has been added.
79. Fixed a problem where AI land units were attacking the same turn after unloading in
an enemy hex.
80. The text "Defending Units" would sometimes not appear in combat reports and all
units on both sides end up listed together under "Attacking Units". Fixed.
81. An adjustment has been made to the attack level settings for AI land units. The AI
will now be a bit less aggressive.
82. Gameplay Change: Fixed a loophole for units in reserve mode during combat. A
check is made before combat commences to ensure the defender has at least 25%  of
it s total assault value in a mode other than reserve. For example, if the attacker has an
Assault Value of 100, the defender must have a total of at least 25 Assault Value  no t
i n reserve mode, otherwise the game will automatically switch units to combat mode
until the 25% minimum is reached – starting with combat units and then non-combat
units.
83. A problem was found that was causing early Soviet activation, even though the
Manchukuo garrison requirement was being met by the Japanese.
84. After a fort level is reduced, the fort construction percentage will now be reset to 0.
85. The ability to change screen size has been limited, as this causes graphic corruption
on the screen.
86. Fixed various instances where an underlying scroll box was still active and showed
up on top of a LCU, group, or other screen.
87. When there were 20 devices to be displayed on the LCU reinforcement screen the list
overran the display window. Fixed.
88. Fixed the ‘replacements off’ option on the Land Unit list.
89. An issue with loading LCU fragments was fixed.
90. A bug with replacements that could wipe out a unit’s TOE in some cases was fixed.
91. A problem with the land Follow command was fixed.
92. Due to variable reinforcement or updated scenario files, certain LCUs were being
destroyed that were due to arrive on map very soon. Fixed.
93. Pilot attrition during training has been reduced to 2%.
94. An issue where some Base 0(0) ports were not building has been fixed.
95. ew command line switches added for the program to improve performance.
