Re: Logistics

So is Tracker still actively updated or not? I haven't messed around with it in quite a while so was wondering.

At the risk of irritating the vets here panzer51, I will pull out my well-worn nugget of WITP:AE wisdom:
Try your damnedest to "Embrace the Suck".
In other words, the game will not let you micromanage outcomes, so it tends to piss off folks new to the sim who come from other games where that is more ...

Re: Question for Allied Players

Against the AI opponent, with enough learning through Kull's Allied Spreadsheet you discover just how bare the US cupboard in the Pacific really was. Particularly escorts and ASW capable ships. So back to the topic at hand: I think this weakness along with a few others to husband where you can and ...

Re: OT: What music you listen when playing?

I guess I am a traditionalist- I play the default soundtrack, minus a couple that I don't care for, then replace those with theme-appropriate music. One I can think of immediately is Song of the High Seas from Victory at Sea.

What you mean with pre-war OOB? pre 18th of July?
Mostly just that the SCW was a test bed for new tools of war, i.e., the Bf-109, along with concepts prior to WW2.

Re: US Navy Logistics with Drachinifel

There is some flexibility with platforms. I order on my PC from Amazon, but have it set up to be accessible from my iPad Pro.
It is called the Kindle store but there are options.

Re: [Just a discussion] A game that doesn't run on modern PCs shouldn't cost 80eur?

The regular price is a bit high perhaps, but it hasn't gone up if memory serves, just stayed the same. Being that it goes on sale a least twice if not more per year there are enough chances to swoop in and get it cheap.
Regarding getting it running, the last big round of 2by3 tune-ups and switches ...

Re: US Navy Logistics with Drachinifel

Thanks Treetop, I spotted this last night at work but haven't watched yet. You wouldn't think logistics could be interesting, but Beans, Bullets & Black Oil really opened my eyes to just how underprepared the US was for a Pacific war.
Great stuff.
