You think I should reinstall the game?

first strike IS important.  what is odd here is that i didn't to it.  the computer running midway for me did it.  i got in and mopped up after.  i would feel a lot better about it if i had been commanding the midway forces.

"especially with the anemic results when you attack a landbase"

boy, that is for sure.

so, is there much MP action...or not?

playing midway as USN (unusual for me). the scenario with saratoga in. assigned midway to the computer. danged if midway didn't find the IJN carriers on first strike and put soryu and akagi out of action immediately. i got in and put kaga and hiryu down and that was it.

i know in the original CAW a heavily damaged ship had greatly reduced speed. i have not seen that in this version, but i have not really been looking for it.

ok, so what i was really trying to find out was if anyone else has experienced a "passive" USN AI in this scenario.

played philippine sea (the back from the dead variant) as IJN and must say i whomped the AI. sank 9 USN carriers and did not suffer a single air strike against my carriers. am i that good or is the AI not that aggressive in that scenario? i know i got spotted.

that is what i am running it at. looks good!

<t> currently, my game breaks when there are sightings or when i force it to. is the behavior the same in an MP game? the advantage of the break to me in single player is that i get to organize what i am doing. is that same advantage available in MP?<br/>

got it, thanks gregor.

i find the popup that shows hex, terrain, and what to do to designate a movement objective whenever the cursor is still to be annoying. can it be turned off?

<t> "Well, we put them in because they did happen but early in the war they are, as you have discovered, almost completely ineffectual.

oh, and i LOVE the air raid siren.&nbsp; first time it went off, i nearly dived under my desk. &nbsp;[:D]

<t> have played several coral sea, midway and eastern solomons scenarios and have launched both land-based and carrier-based air strikes against the likes of midway, henderson field, gilli gilli, port M. i have yet to record even ONE hit. i don't recall air strikes being terribly effective before ...

<t> why the IJN?, cuz they lost i guess, and mostly because of bad strategic/tactical decisions.&nbsp; i can fix that! &nbsp;[:)]<br/>

i just sank all the USN carriers at midway and lost only one myself.&nbsp; i am rounding into form.<br/>

i think this is a faithful recreation of the original, which makes me happy. i thought that game was near perfect. if you didn't like the original, you won't like this.<br/>

"So there are lots of Carriers at War scenarios created for the previous version of Carriers at War and we'll we helping the mod community get some of those made using the game's editor, others we will redo ourselves."

you know the one i want, gregor!

make sure you are targeting the ships, not the port.

<t> i realized zoom is working, just not quite like i thought it would.&nbsp; the TF icons stayed the same size, but the other stuff changed which made me think it was jumping around.&nbsp; the zoom also, please correct me if i am wrong, does not have a lot of range and seems to go in steps rather ...
