Anything that can be done by either side pretty much equally should not be considered gamey. As you said, it is just a game quirk.

Okay, I would define gamey as something that relies on game mechanics to be possible ...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>It is a super valid tactic and not gamey at all...but one you need to think about and plan for. <e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE>

How is it not gamey? There's no "attack ships at sea OR port" setting for aircraft so a player has to guess which setting they should use. Guess ...

OK, Wikipedia says AO Neosho shot down three Japanese aircraft with its AA guns during the Coral Sea battle, and "Shattered Sword" says all Jap ships at Midway shot down just two (sic!) US aircraft for the whole June 4, 1942.

<t> Don't think the developers has said much about how damage is done to ships. I don't think it's sensible to make 1:1 comparison between different device types despite using the same value fields though, a torpedo with an effect value of 100 may very well do more damage than a bomb or naval gun ...

<r> Thank you to both John and Canoerebel for keeping two interesting AAR:s going!<br/>

I think there may have been a few additional ground units (base forces?) posted somewhere like Darwin or aboard ships near Darwin. Nothing major but a few things ...

<t> No clue as to your question unfortunately. A difference is of course that an Ohka would, I assume, be modelled to hit from the side while a Fritz-X ought to hit more from above. So if a WitP missile device tends to hit the belt rather than the deck you might want to give it more penetration to ...

<t> - Mixed TO&E. Doesn't matter much for the US but for many other countries you are looking at air groups and land formations that should be allowed to mix and match aircraft and guns to a greater degree.<br/>

- Not hex based, use a full globe. Clearly this is beyond what you are doing but ...

<r> You have some kind of missmatch between the scenario file, pwhexe.dat and map art.<br/>

In a simple way you can look <br/>
Scenario files: Where bases, ships etc are.<br/>
Map data (phexe.dat): Terrain in hexes and hexside types. Also affects where on the map you can click.<br/>

<t> As the other posters have said the unfortunate truth is that the AI just isn't very smart. It has many bad habits that can easily be abused, even unintentionally. The options adarbrauner gave you are pretty much it, though one more option is to simply see how badly and quickly you can defeat the ...

I'll take down 198 until I am certain there is no issue.

WinRAR didn't extract it for me for whatever reason, 7-Zip did though without any problems.

<r> Well, if we are discussing gameplay changes as well then I'll add some. Even though it might sound like I'd want a more complicated game I really don't, I want a "smarter" game.<br/>

- Less distinction between ships in port and in task forces. A ship can suddenly become invulnerable ...

1st September 1945 of course. Bunch of hopeless defeatists posting in this thread

Any chance we're still going to see a new DBB version? Still looking forward to it if so.

Aren't they just the penetration at 5000 yards from Facehard against US class 'A' armor?

Damn, I was all ready to go ranting about this and that! <E>:)</E> Guess you are talking mainly about the interface then which is, without a doubt, an area that could be improved upon ...

<t> Building on what Lecivius said I'm guessing a German Norddeutscher Lloyd ship. Either the liner Scharnhorst, Gneisenau or Potsdam? Don't know if there is any way of telling the two apart.<br/>

Edit:<br/>
Oh, right, you talked about its function in the Pacific War so that'd be ...

<t> The question as to why they are treated so specially was answered, but not the one about the 20 torpedoes at a time limit. A charitable guess from my side is that it's there to protect the player, torpedoes cost quite a lot of supply (relatively) after all. Imagine somehow accidentally ordering ...

<t> In a somewhat similar vein how about checksums of the exe and data files. Reading AARs it seems surprisingly common that even veteran WitP players don't manage to get the same version of everything (say, pwhexe.dat file or scenario files) when starting up a PBEM game. Doing checksums on them ...
