Set them at CAP with a range of 1 so they will still cover the convoy if the carriers are one hex away. Keep your Catalinas looking for any enemy surface combat task forces. If you see them, pull out and hit them with your carrier planes ...

NO. I tried them along time back with no joy....GP

RE: Changing screen resolution?

<t> The game itself works, i have no problem running it but i tried re-installing it anyway using administrator and compatibility modes but no luck, the game itself has no options for changing the screen resolution, i think the dev's designed it for a maximum resolution of 1024x768 and the WitP:AE ...

Changing screen resolution?

<t> Is there any way of changing the screen resolution to 1920 x 1080 like you can with WitP:AE, i tried using the same command lines on the .exe shortcut that i use for WitP ( -f -px1920 -py1080 -deepColor -altFont -cpu4) and they don't seem to work, are there different command lines for WPO or did ...

RE: Blue and Red Lines

<t> This happens to me too, i was doing Bulge 44 and after the computer completed the German turn and it came time for me to make my move the blue lines would come up, i would shut them off and sure enough next turn they're back again. The game got very slow and choppy while the blue lines were on ...
