Yeah, you're right. When I just jumped it up to 17" but left the two forward turrets with four guns each it liked it.

Larger point still stands. This is a ridiculous rule and the devs should jettison it and let you call your ships whatever class you want. And base the selection of ships for a ...

The issue appears to be the 17" guns. If I leave it at 16" and give it the improved director the game doesn't have any problems with it.

Reiterating: the whole idea of limiting the player's choice of ship types is very strange and offputting. At least the game should make the rules violation clear ...

This guy's design went through fine with 16" guns and improved director. During the four months that we were waiting for the design to be completed, we discovered 17"/0 guns and Advanced Director. So I opened the design for reconstruction, reduced the guns in the A turret to 3, jumped the director ...

This is why we play on Captain's mode.

And if so, it would be nice if it were documented somewhere. Maybe the game could even stop you from wasting your money by calling for an invasion if your forces in the area don't meet the criteria?

The enemy has zero forces in the sea zone in question. I have two cruisers. Is there some absolute amount of force that you must have to conduct an invasion?

.7z works best as a save option because the compression level is a lot higher and I think the forum software doesn't like large files (at least this was the case in the past).

Any flooding should qualify a ship for detachment, even more so if the level of flooding would make it impossible for it to reach a friendly port before sinking.

Does the choice of fleet size (small to super large) in the campaign setup screen have any impact on the size of the player's fleet, or is this just a difficulty option setting how big the AI nations' fleets are? Because my navy always seems to be the same size regardless of which setting I choose ...

I edited the .sac file by changing the invasion transport groups' tactical stance to 2 and sinking the shore batteries. The invasion transports then sailed to their objective.

Invasion scenario. Big fight takes place to the south while the transports sail peacefully to the objective. They get there just after nightfall, spend the night sailing around, and then as soon as dawn breaks, they sail away to the north. We never get the transports successfully arrived message ...

I had another carrier battle where the enemy didn't launch any strikes, presumably because they were looking the wrong way. This breaks battles once carriers have come in.

Note BB Mecklenburg Fire extinguished at 12:41, Fire spreads 13:07. It is showing Fire level 1 after being out. They were hit at 13:04 and 13:05 by shells that did not penetrate their armor and no mention of fire started at that time.

I've had this event a couple of times now, where the leadership penalizes me for not having enough force in a sea area to face a potential foe, but the amount they are asking for is more than I have in my entire navy (total BV in my navy is 184, they're asking for 208). Also, they don't warn, they ...

This is the way it works with me, whether it is a new game or I loaded a saved game.

I notice on the main screen where it has tips, it says that the "run 5 minutes" button will run for an hour if you are out of contact. I remember in previous editions it was 20 minutes and the tooltip still says ...

That is correct. Several countries had their tensions increase, including both those I was spying on and those where the intelligence level was set to "none".

This is also happening with DDs assigned to support CLs on scout or screen orders before DDs can have screen formation. Same problem, you can't give them any orders until somebody finds the enemy or the statutory 30 minutes have passed.

The countries that were hit were not being spied upon at all. I reserve my intelligence expenditures for enemies or people with superior tech.

I have been getting the "countries upset at our spying, tensions increase" event quite frequently even though all my intelligence settings are at medium or below. And the countries affected don't seem to have any relationship to the amount of spying I'm actually doing in that country. Is this WAD? I ...

I normally play on normal speed. When I'm out of contact I might go to fast.

There's two things going on here: 1. the game is running off 60 minutes instead of 20 when you push the 5 minutes button and you're out of contact, and 2. You have to press the pause button a couple of times to actually ...
