10K feet power dive over 60 seconds is not extraordinary for most WW2 fighters. Basically your only limit is your max speed, so 300mph over 60 seconds at a steep angle will drop you down 20K feet if you can maintain control and consciousness. There are so many factors involved that trying to model i...

I fixed a bug in the launch delay code where the timing would continuously reset to a later delay even while the radio activity was increasing and no raids had launched. I also found some doubling up of the delay time. Now the defender delay will adjust properly as the delay readiness decreases from...

yea I'm working on this, and the Mossie's night strafing of railyards.

It causes some damage to rail use at that location which slows down the movement of supply to your troops.

All you can do to override the launch delay is order them to patrol, which starts the clock to get them taxiing to the runway. The delay that you see is for the planes that have not yet received your order to launch. I'm going to look into this to see if anything is odd, i.e. It appears that Com del...

go ahead and attach it to a post on this thread. It may need to be zipped, or rename the extension to ".txt" for matrix to allow it to upload here.

Hi Mark, Thank you for the info and reply. I wish more could be turned to day combat as the Night fighting part of the campaign is woeful, though I know the team has been trying for years to find the right balance. Again, thank you. Cheers, AKL I have a chance coming up to make some changes in the ...

That sounds like you need to download the latest patch 1.06.83 from Matrix. Let us know if that helps.

My wife and I are Guild members of Angel studios and have been watching the series for a while now. Unlike King of Kings or the Greatest Story Ever Told, which were great for the time, the character development of Jesus as a man in the Chosen has been so engaging that it will be very difficult to pr...

I also found that running the game as administrator is not the panacea I thought it was. This is an issue with the game's memory caused by, as far as I can tell, launching large 400-500+ aircraft raids all at or near the same time. Fixing this issue, if and when I find a solution, could result in al...

Ah, excerpts from a post by the mysterious "Alter Ego" who reverse engineered the code for a while and then vanished. The replacement rates look right, I don't think we changed those. Experience has more mechanics and randomness impacting these raw numbers but you can get an idea of the ba...

I just checked and the routine for adding up the planes is pretty basic. Ready/not ready planes that are based somewhere are tallied whenever you open the summary tab or at the end of the turn. Slots are getting filled with new replacements and repaired aircraft each turn so I'm not surprised that t...

No, contrary to what the manual suggests, there is nothing that a player can do to impact repair rates of aircraft except airfield service damage and overstacking on airfield slows down repair rate.

The Allied AI won't be flying the heavies at that altitude, where are you getting this info? from your own Axis intel?

I was informed recently that my "Invasion of Prussia" mod is still available for those who are still interested. You will find it a few lines down at the old NIR project website. You need "Prelude to Waterloo" to play this campaign. I don't have much time to support this anymore,...

Yes, it's WAD. Avalanche targets can include industry targets now, Looking back at the code, I believe I was thinking of changing this but it doesn't look like I did so something may be awry. What is the current value of Avalanche targets in the target list? EDIT: I see what is happening. US 15th A...

Yes, it's WAD. Avalanche targets can include industry targets now, and we made the Uboat mandatory bombing less frequent.

What is the best way to determine the range of an aircraft that is not in the air? Do I really have to calculate the range based on burn rate, fuel load, and performance band in the database? These old eyes are just not seeing it. Thanks.

I found that the AI is competent with the micromanagement needed to counter night raids. And it is acceptable gameplay. One thing about this strategy is that factory damage will repair 2 or 3 times faster than urban damage, so when the weather turns bad or moonlight diminishes your opponent may have...

Around 18:00 switch your HQ's to "computer controlled" so that the AI operates your nightfighter interceptors and see if that helps. I'm surprised he is getting this kind of accuracy with night bombing. I assume this is the latest patch? Also to get rid of that dot-matrix 1970's font, on t...
