Run 5 minutes button running long

When in contact, it does advance the time by 5 minutes, but when out of contact, the tooltip says 20 minutes but it's actually 60. Don't know if this is WAD and you just have to change the tooltip? I'd prefer 20, actually.

Also, while it is running, you have to double-click on the pause button to ...

It's also asking if I want to stand down spotted aircraft.

Re: Land based missile batteries

That one is very handy in the late game. You have a couple of cheesy DDs out on scouting missions and then you can fire your HSSMs from halfway across the ocean.

Autoresolve battle interrupted by popups

I use auto-resolve to run through my fleet exercises. This has never happened before, but now the auto-resolve is being interrupted by popups informing me that ships are suffering increased flooding due to high speed.

It would be really handy if you could just automate the fleet exercise procedure ...

Re: Land based missile batteries

Interestingly, there's an empty space at the bottom of the drop down menu of the different types of fortifications I can build at my bases. It is 1957 and I have missile tech level 8.

Re: Search Arcs Sometimes Reset Themselves

I had a second battle, almost exactly the same as the first one: enemy carriers didn't launch any strikes at my ships, I battered them severely, I had to change the search arcs of the land-based air every few minutes of playing time (every 100 or so minutes of game time), I did get some strikes out ...

Re: Search Arcs Sometimes Reset Themselves

The carriers had funny search arcs when I started but I reset them and they stayed as they should be. This might explain why the enemy never launched any strikes at me during the battle.

Re: Search Arcs Sometimes Reset Themselves

This is still happening. Check out the search arc for Casablanca - we obviously think the British have developed land battleships and are attacking us from the Sahara. I've reset these twice now. It kind of sucks that I'm spending so much for land-based air squadrons here and they are doing ...

Re: Land based missile batteries

Maybe what ought to happen is that your coast defense batteries just automatically add missile launchers as you develop the techs, maybe in numbers and sophistication proportional to the type of guns you had in there. I was just in San Francisco and I visited the harbor defenses on the Marin ...

Re: This window needs a cancel button

Actually, both would be good but at a minimum, the ability to cancel out of air group management without CTL-Alt-Del. Also, the ability to mess with other air groups without getting stuck at this point.

Re: How to turn off sounds

This is a long standing problem. I have "no sound effects" selected in preferences. Nevertheless, I hear a "sploosh" sound when manually launching torpedoes (though not when the AI launches them for me), I hear a "whee-boom" sound when my planes score a bomb hit, and a "honk honk" sound when one of ...

ROF penalty for "too many centerline gun and torpedo mounts" behaving oddly

I just refit the BB Minnesota class in this game and got the "too many centerline" ROF penalty message. I didn't add any centerline gun or torp mounts, the ship has ABXY main gun turrets and that's it. I did add two SAM mounts, don't know if that is what is counted. It wouldn't let me put the SAMs ...

Also torpedo firing. There's some .wav file that I have to delete, or maybe it was the whole sounds directory?

Internment working oddly.

This ship was just in a raider battle where it ended up in a friendly port. ???

Re: Is the Trade War a little skewed?

I've had enemies collapse before, after seeing regular reports of their people suffering because of shipping losses. I think you are correct, the message is clearly related to sinkings that turn, but I think it also jacks up unrest level and can lead to government collapse.

How to turn off sounds

I have my preferences set to no sound effects, and yet there are a couple of sounds that I can still hear - sort of a whistling and boom that might be somebody's idea of a bomb dropping? I remember asking this a long time ago and getting the answer - there is some file that should be deleted - but ...
