Sweeps to not lose fighters to AAA.

Two approaches to strato-sweeps:

- get above them if you have radar and you can (your planes have the ceiling). Unlikely to work well without radar because you won't have enough time between the raid being detected & the engagement.

- put a bait squadron ...

I wish I could just add a reaction to the post itself.
Than you for this one, sir!

The % is out of 'currently flyable', so if 100% are not in position, then 50% will not be either.
If 50% is set to rest, the pilots were basically given the day off in the daily orders & that is that. The mechanics are working on the airframes to maintain etc. so those planes are simply not ...

Last time I played Bottlenecks I did it like this: Push them off the railroad & make everything into a large POW camp/free fire area for bomber trainees.

@SJ
A note about production- It matters a lot where do you expand the LI production. I my past Bottlenecks games I faced 2 main issues in Industry:
- getting enough RES into Home Islands to run the existing industry there (IIRC it was around 200 000k/day needed)
- the fuel cost of doing so (made ...

@floydg - (I want a bow emoji to express my gratitude for this tool)

Thank you for coming back to it!

I would love the ability to look back at Sigint records. Here is the scenario:
I am getting ready to invade a base & want to know what units were reported by Sigint to be present in the past ...

Jansako,

I am not sure if a newly created plane unit will come on the map.

I also added an upgrade path to a newer plane for some existing units. Now that is a possibility that the new plane may be able to be built. I think that happened in my old game, but it was so late in 45... and I cannot ...

@Cav
For Japan, they will never be available to build, but are available if an arriving unit has the plane. Again, this is hard-coded; it's not me.

As a workaround, would it be possible to create a small (size 1 or something) unit that would arrive with the airplane, to make it available to build ...

You probably broke the script by defeating the invasion. I am unsure if it can be 'restarted' again any other way than rewinding & letting it take the base.

Here is one I use in my last 2-3 PBEM that I initiated.

Combined Arms rule:
Armored units must be supported by equal number of INF units when attacking. The exception is a single Tank unit or Clear terrain when any number of tank units are allowed to work alone.

Armored divisions are allowed to ...

I really like the Mogamis in the CL configuration & I wish for a path to keep them & still get the AA upgrades etc. As it is, I have to choose one of the long upgrades/rebuilds or fall behind in radar & AAA upgrades.

I like the performance of the 155/60 gun, basically it will go through anything ...

Thanks for the updates, so far nothing catastrophic happened after adding the new database updates .
Tracker is complaining but that is nothing new.

IIRC these are chosen & then locked in at game start. So there is nothing you can do with the scripts after you started your scen.
The game will pick one of those it uses 'at random'.

New patch about to arrive 3.0d

There are a few fixes, but mainly tweaks and adding DB changes from the new patch where they fit the mod. Yes I did add the allied very late war missing DD.

I guess at this point it is no longer about force preservation, just about hurting the Allies whichever way and at whatever cost.
Looks like you are biting back pretty good!

On engines, yes, I built it to 30, and they have been advancing, okay? Remember its no advantage to get the Engine before a plane comes along that uses it :) the only rush could be to get the engine for the first Judy and Jill into the game if you do not mind the high SL.



Cav:

If you get ...

It is 2024. the UX design progressed past the point where one solution fits all and where every user has to accept the same solution.

Just make it a darn setting & everyone will be happy...
OTOH if a silly little confirmation dialog is the thing that is the most wrong with the game then I think we ...

I know most people would want a 100% product out of the box. IMO stuff that can be modded, meaning 'stats' or map properties/bases can be done by modders & you do not need to focus on that. The game mechanics/code stuff what modders cannot affect is what should matter. If you do not have the ...
