Thank you, both of you.
This makes sense. We'll give it a try.

Just tried to start my 1st ever PBEM as the Japanese. I'm still doing the Pearl Harbor strike, granted with some changes. What ended up happening was the KB arrived, did not launch airstrikes, and then ran into an Allied CVBG at 160, 104. Both TFs disengaged and the KB set course for its homeport ...

Hey guys,

Was running Tracker on my old system without issue in a PBEM campaign that's still active. Just upgraded my MoBo and transitioned to Windows 10. I can get tracker to run and load the last turn we played before I upgraded, but it won't load a new turn. There's no error message, it just ...

Good news, the Vildebeests just few a mission and tagged IJN Kako with a torpedo. I think it's safe to say you're correct and the tanks were the problem.

Thanks!

It may be awhile before I can report back on the TBs as my fighters have been worn down there and need time to recuperate.

As for Hornet, removing the DTs resulted in VS-8 flying a strike mission (in addition to naval search), but VB-8 still sat on the deck. It's something.

I just looked up both, and yes, the DT is on the same hardpoint as their primary weapons. So it's very likely that's the problem, even though I've tried leaving the DTs off some of the time--smaller sample size means weather etc. can explain it away.

Thanks, I'll try leaving the drop tanks off on all 3 and keeping the TBs low.
Is there a floor for any stats on leaders that I should be wary of when "checking" the leaders?

<t> This has been happening enough, and with specific squadrons, that I need to ask about it. I have three squadrons that are sitting out missions that other squadrons at the same location are happy to do. Any idea what might cause that? The potentially relevant data are:<br/>

Well, between relieving the CO and making sure the sub stays on minelayer duty until the Dutch mines are depleted, hopefully this stupidity will be at an end. Thanks.

Hmmm, so I should probably remove the skipper from command and stick him in a sub with a bigger gun, and put someone more cautious in this one.

<r> I'm a little over a week into an Allied campaign. One sub, an O19 class, as been involved in at least three surface attacks in which it doesn't fire a shot (neither torpedoes nor guns). It just gets shot up by the AKs it should be taking down. My first thought was that the AKs' guns just ...

I'm about a year into a campaign and Tracker just quit on me. It just hangs there at the command prompt, no error message. Any ideas?

Thanks!

<t> I'm mostly just trying to learn the game from Japan's side right now, getting a feel for the economy, OOB, strategic priorities, etc., while also practicing putting operations together that run smoothly and (hopefully) don't fall to pieces when the enemy does something to counter.<br/>

<t> Hi everyone. I've had the game about a year; I've played one campaign as the allies and I'm in early June 1942 in my first campaign as the Japanese.<br/>

I thought the AI was adequate playing as the Allies, but as Japan, the Allies are doing little to nothing to get in my way. The US and ...
