3) Would it be possible to add a "hold/dispense sonobuoys" doctrine option for aircraft on ASW patrols? That way we could have them in the air but not dropping their buoys until we wanted them.


This has been added as an ASW doctrine setting for the next update.


SWEET! Good to hear!

This ...

Stealth is effective, but it's hardly a magic solution.

It doesn't make an aircraft completely invisible to radar, it just MASSIVELY reduces the effective detection range (depending on the radar in question). If it can reduce detection to just within (daylight) visual range, than it's effectively ...

I like this idea quite a bit. It is correct that those earlier generations of SAMs couldn't really target small targets like ARMs (Otherwise the N. Vietnamese would have done exactly that ALL THE TIME).

Aside from default WRA for those earlier SAMs, we could also see some possible improved ways to ...

Aside from that fact that I hate the concept, I'd be very surprised if this actually gets built:

-The time needed to secure funding, prepare the shipyard and complete the design, means it would likely bleed into the next administration, who will almost certainly cancel this monstrosity.

-Even IF ...

Having recently completed Admiral Cunningham's memoir, it will be neat to dive into this!

Well this is certainly a BIG announcement!

Maybe this will finally shut up those who have been asking about this for over a decade

Great! I'll install when I get home.

One question:

What is the "Junkyarded" section of the notes for the new DB3000?


Junkyard is how we handle units that are "deleted" from the DB or should not exist but cannot be removed due to backwards compatibility reasons when reassignment is not ...

Great! I'll install when I get home.

One question:

What is the "Junkyarded" section of the notes for the new DB3000?

I finished The Battle of Bear Island last night and enjoyed it greatly!

I'll share more detailed feedback in a PM to avoid spoilers for others.

My copy of The Battle of Bear Island just arrived!

I'm suspending progress in my current (long) read to dive into this right away!

FYI to everyone who may have missed it, the Paperback version is avaliable.

I ordered mine yesterday. I also got the E-Book, but that's more of a backup & appreciation purchase, as I'm going to actually read it with the physical copy.

It should arrive tomorrow, and I might suspend my progress in ...

I've played this revised scenario, and it works MUCH better now.

The only note I would give is that the player should receive some points for successfully boarding and detaining a PAFMM ship. I understand there not being any score for successfully ramming due to political consequences, as in this ...

Sweet! This should be a neat battle!

I can only assume that there's been some kind of technical delay (probably with Amazon)?

Eager to order this novella once it's available!

I've completed the first Tides of War scenario (campaign mode), and I felt that the way things went were pretty unfair to achieve a "winning" score, and there's some issues that need to be resolved in an update:

1) The Designer Notes state that the starting player score is 250, but it's actually ...

I'm working my way through Scenario #1 of the new Tides of War campaign, and I noticed an issue:

At a certain point, the player is informed of a Real-World SAR emergency, where a civilian ship issued a distress call, and are ordered to dispatch ships/aircraft to rescue the survivors. Part of this ...

Hello All,

I've been inspired to re-read the 1925 speculative fiction novel "The Great Pacific War" by Hector C. Bywater, which gave a history of a hypothetical naval war between the United States & Japan between 1931 and 1933.

In doing this, I've decided to catalogue and transcribe the battles ...

SWEET! I'll pre-order once the Amazon page is up!

I'm not 100% sure if this is a bug or if I'm missing something, as I didn't seem to find an answer in the manual (updated version)

I've just completed the official Denmark Strait, 1941 scenario as Britain, and I actually had a surprising "honey, I broke history!" result, in that I got a flash-fire ...

I'd say it's a "golden BB" detection.

Stealth aircraft are not immune from visual detection, and a tank crewman with a decent enough eyesight could probably spot a fighter flying above them.
