i knew my boomer poke would get a......response

Wow! How many boomers do you think are here and playing the game?

honestly i wouldn't be surprised if it was over 50%

Could be a number of things but first you need to set up the game using command line switches. These are a must simply because it is an old game. The switches I use on my Win 10, 1920x1080 display are -pxf1900 -pyf1000 -cpu4 -SingleCpuOrders -dd_sw -altFont -multiaudio -deepColor -skipVideo ...

7 months into the game (in game calendar) and my land based maritime strike is still beyond useless.

an example i built a built a fortress base in Port Aurthur; a 2 BB/2 CA Japanese task force steamed right up to the island and demolished my SAG before my bombers decided to attack the Japanese ...

PS
disign wise the auto retirement has been my bane since day one. i sent that task force there for a reason.


Not sure what you mean here. Pic would help

Looks like he meant "Remain on Station" orders were not followed. That happens when any kind of event happens for the loitering TF ...

game almost unplayable.

does anyone else deal with this game "chugging" if i select a task force and want to scroll any distance off the screen it can take minutes (yes minutes) to scroll over to the desired destination. also if there are a lot of units in the area (like submarines at the ...

Land based maritime strike early in the game.

what planes early on are readily available AND capable of actually hitting enemy ships from land bases?

next question

ordinance; specifically torpedoes

i have tried to convert Brisbane into a forward operating base for submarines. i have homeported perhaps 25 subs there. now none of them are being loaded with torpedoes. how do i get torpedoes to brisbane to load.

speaking of ordinance, what are ...

what are "ops" in ship statistics?

i thought i would make my own thread for odds and end questions from a fairly new player to consolidate them

this has really harmed me in the game (self-retirement) my favorite is when my PT boat flotillas decide to sail across thousands of miles of open water.

OK coming up on a month playing. i started the GC originally (with the intent of not finishing) as a "learning / game concepts lab". i started a new GC a few days ago to try in (semi) earnest. i have noticed a huge problem in both attempts:

getting carriers to perform maritime strike. In the ...

as a noob (less than four weeks)
the air war is what i am struggling with the most and it is killing me.

1. i cant get planes to load on ships.
2. if i can move, do i need support units
3. in the grand campaign where do i find airplanes i can deploy to forward basses?

...and also don't forget:

CS convoys work for both sides.
Return cargos if any.


thats what i am worried about.

let's say i want to send a fuel convoy from Los Angeles to fiji, there dump all the carried fuel and return empty to LA.
1. do i sent the CS convoy's homeport to LA or Fiji?
2. how ...
