I want a quick answer - why can't a flight of 21 H6K5 Mavis airplanes - COMBINED load value of 74,088 NOT deliver all of one parachute infantry troop with a load value of 949?!? IF it's because the infantry unit has devices that the game can't/won't allow to be dropped from a plane....I'd call that ...

<t> OK - I missed the 80% load penalty. But this explains several issues I've had over time.<br/>
<br/>
The oddest is to have a TF deliver ground troops, but after the battle, they don't FIT. The delivery was made with units in "strat" move and transport TF, I go to load them back up - they're not ...

<t> I'm trying a "new" idea by trying to minimize "waste" (no Troop space in cargo only, etc.). This has resulted in a TF that does not remain constant. The Ehime Cargo Class vessel "stock" shows T-285 and C-3575 but when it's put in a Taskforce and the "Load Troops" is engaged that same vessel ...

Although this will make for a less "pretty" front (I was going for a straight line pole to pole),<br/>
it actually makes things infinitely easier.<br/>

<t> I'm with you - don't waste the time or resources to produce the B6N1, go straight for the N2.<br/>

You'll have to R&D an engine and frame, only to toss it some months later.<br/>
While the aircraft plant should "auto update", not sure about the engine.<br/>
Spend that R&D points on the ...

<t> I'm trying to run a "wild" idea with Japan.<br/>
<br/>
I want to take several Sanyo AK and convert them to AV (carries 9, supports 21 float planes).<br/>
Placing them in TF's of 2 (or even 4), I'll station the vessels in the Pacific and set up naval<br/>
search(s) in at least a 180 degree ...

Some time ago I bought a documentary from the History Channel entitled "Battle 360 - USS Enterprise" covering the exploits of CV-6 (or CV(N)-6 as she was later known (after the first night mission off a carrier).<br ...

<t> Seriously...If it weren't a naval vessel, I'd use it as a paperweight [:)], But I don't want to get my battle plans all soggy. Fortunately there are only 2.<br/>

While it has typical speed, it seems lacking in almost EVERY other aspect. 42 rounds of ammo (total) for it's 3 deck guns ...

<t> OK - Now I'm really confused<br/>
<br/>
First - my apologies to Mr. Bowen. While It seems the code is indeed correctly selecting Tomozuru class TB vessels for ASW roles, there is the fact that - for whatever reason - my game, version, 1.0.4.1106i Oct. 27 2010, 22:07:02 (per opening screen ...

Selection for ASW (and all other) TF missions is based on type of ship (DD, TB, etc). For some missions there are additional criteria. <br/>
<br/>
For ASW, the ship must have at least one ASW device. Ammo is not considered as the ...

<r> I've got about 170 ships in/around Tokyo (100 or so not in TF's). I have decided I need to make some more ASW TF's - of the 170 +/- ships, about 65 have ASW values and half of those are NOT in pre-existing TF's. I set all the "switches" (Auto select commander, ASW TF type, Retirement off, Auto ...

I thought I might have an older version (just after I posted) so I ran updater and was told I'm using the latest version.

I have included save 138 which is the day before TF lands and 137 (the day TF lands) - dont' ask [:)]

<r> I SNAFU'ed (or is it a FUBAR?). I tried to convert an air factory to build B5N2 Kates, but the original factory was small - or damaged, or both - in any event, the factory now shows if I mouse over the city as "B5N2 Kate 0(0)" but the industry screen does not show it at all. I suspect this is ...

<t> I kinda hate to do this to you - but the answer is so complex it is best to aim you at the manual. Read section 9.4 Airfields, starting on page 213. Copied below for your convenience. <br/>
