Re: Pilot Question






Sheesh! 40?!? By the 5th hit she'll have fires, by the 7th or 8th hit the fires are already big enough that she will be 50-50 sinking. And if they are 1000lb-ers that the DB's carry, forget it. By the 5th hit the fires will be unsurmountable due to the sys damage. That's assuming there hasn ...

Re: Struggling with Air Superiority

Keep Fatigue down. You can try a CAP trap. Move your carriers close enough to be seen and let him attack you. Set your fighters a little higher than his bombers will come in. This will only work early as the Allies will soon have so many airframes that they can afford losses.

This is dangerous ...

Re: Keeping track of submarine/submarine commander scores

My first boat fishing trip was on the "Finback" out of Bodega Bay {North of SF}. I was 11. We caught a lot of fish.

I keep track of the U.S.S. Finback. I note her arrivals, departures and ships sunk. Easy to do with just one.

Re: Defending Burma (vs AI)

Re: Help with fresh install

4K monitors do not work...or at least mine didn't. Not even the command line changes did anything. Not even setting the game resolution in the command line to 1920x1080 worked.

Once I changed the monitor resolution to 1920x1080, it worked far better than I had ever imagined. Before this, the ...

So historical level is the only level that is realistic?
I am switching my game to historical, I cant have Jap A.I. carrier groups parking themselves in my front yard and bombing everything in the area for weeks without needing to withdraw!

It all works out. I "won" on DEC 16 44 on Historical ...

Re: Hard difficulty buffs for A.I.

It's been a couple of years since I played {just starting again}. So this is from memory.

Hard gets a bonus to supply. I do not know if the carriers get more sorties before being out of supplies. I think that if this was the case, someone would've figured it out and it would have been posted. I do ...

Re: Windows and WITPAE fighting for control of screen

Thank You.

This is exactly my problem. I had it fixed and when I come back to AE, the problem returns. I could not understand why. Windows updates makes sense as the cause. I had put a period at the end of "sense", reread it and added "as the cause". Better this way.

Re: best practices for TF escorts

CVE task force following the protected tf. If it is in the same hex, the CVEs will operate at full efficiency even if shallow water. This will provide air protection and the bombers can be placed on ASW patrol. They have to train for ASW to really make a difference but more eyes are always better ...

I've been playing since UV. WITP was in development by the time I got into UV and only discovered it because it was in a store. I take a break now and then but I always come back and continue playing. I read more than post but I have been hanging around since 2003, I think.

Re: Laptop fans switch to high speed on start

3840x2160 is native.

In Display Settings it is set for 200% in Change the size of text, apps and other items. Not sure if this is what you want.

The in game menus are all easily seen. Some games are not and at 4K, my nearly 60 year old eyes cannot make out anything in the menus.

Every time I turn it on. I do not know why. I doubt the graphics can come close to taxing my system more than the abuse I heap on it in a heavily modded 4K fallout 4. If you haven't heard about it, then it has to be something with my laptop or my model/build of laptop.

The lack of a 1920x1080 ...

Laptop fans switch to high speed on start

My computer is an almost two year old Alienware 17. When I start this game, the fans go to high speed. I've never had a game do this. I am playing at high resolution {3840xwhatever}, but other {3D} games never do this.

I also do not get an option for 1920x1080 resolution to play the game. They are ...

Re: Need a refresher course on some basic stuff

I really do not know what the difference a HQ makes. I do not see any "Your unit attacked better because it's HQ is nearby" information. I guess you could look at the adjusted AV during ground combat but there are so many other variables that I don't think it possible to pin anything on HQ as the ...

Yep. Once they get to 70 in the main skill and maybe Defense, send them to the pool. You can then manually assign them where you want through Request a Veteran button.

I was just getting up to 70 in their main skill. I think the next game I will try to get Defense up as well. 100' altitude bombing ...

Re: Need a refresher course on some basic stuff

Trugrit is right.

I did not understand just how important pilot training was. As allies you are going to want a huge surplus of fully trained pilots to send to your B-29 squadrons. I spent the better part of two hours changing out the B-29 pilots when I was ready to begin strategic bombing of Japan ...

Re: Need a refresher course on some basic stuff

Patrol planes are your best bet. ASW tf early in the war may net a sub in rare cases, but you are better off using ASW ships as escorts in a task force. An escort has a chance of spotting the sub before the attack; Killing the sub is rare but might happen. When you get enough escorts, you can start ...

I am not advocating for that kind of thing at all.
