Ah, The Thread still exists!!!

It took me a while to find it again, but I'm so glad I did.

He's not the only one coming back after over a decade away, I just built a new PC and WitP:AE was one of the first programs I loaded.

Can't wait to get back into this.

Same here. I'm a returning veteran, but it's been so long that I've forgotten most of what I used to know and just have vague memories of what to do, what not to do, and how things work.

I'm just entering November of '42 and my hit rate has been pretty bad, but those that have hit have seemed to be exploding more than they should have been. I'm playing a DBB scenario against the AI, but isn't 1943 supposed to be when the explosion percentages start to climb?

As others have said, don't think of this as 8 Allied DDs versus a IJN CL/DD task force. Fletchers are really more like small CLs than the DDs you're used too seeing. Just be glad that the Allied force didn't have some true CLs like the Brooklyns or Clevelands.

My driver's licence did expire. This could save me so much time not having to hang out at the DMV. I wonder if I can choose my state? I'd hate to suddenly be from Arkansas.

Original fake passports, driver's licenses and identity cards?

I wonder if they're the same bunch that made my original reproduction velvet Elvis poster?

Swamp is actually excellent environment for preservation. Some of the tanks pulled out from swamp in Russia/Baltics are in great (relatively) condition for restoration.

<r> Thought you guys would find this interesting. I'm amazed at the shape that this B-17 is in, considering that it's sat in a swamp for almost 70 years.<br/>

<t> I don't think they train while the ship is in repair mode or anchored. I try to always unload my CV squadrons when they're disbanded in port, both to continue training as well as to act as a fail-safe in the event of a port raid by enemy CVs. To that end, I usually use a 40/40/20 split for my ...

Paladin, I have not been impressed with the Yamato and Musashi as modeled in this game. They do not seem to be the uber-BBs that they should be. Cap Mandrake and Adm. Lord Sprior nearly sank Yamato in a fair close-range fight with BB ...
