I think a deliberate assault can only reduce 1 fort level per attack. Only a shock attack can reduce the fort by more than one level iirc.

Capturing the base is the one exception that also reduces the fort to 0, but that is kind of a different topic.

Do early (US) carrier losses actually matter for the size of the DeathStar later in the war? With CVs that sunk prior to 44 getting replaced after 1.5 years, I think only small and british carriers are permanent losses.

Sinking a US CV still reduces the allied capability for the ~1.5 years.

For example, I have 18x 30 George factories. Five are the K1 in production (but turned off because I have plenty right now). Thirteen are in K2 R&D. Soon, the K2 will become operational. At that point, I'll upgrade the 5 operational factories to the K2 and the 13 R&D factories will upgrade ...

Interesting that the forts at Chungking dropped last time, but not this time. From the raw AV todays attack seemed much more favorable than the last. Do you know if the last attack got better adjusted odds or did your engineers reduce the fort?

Could you use your Mavis/Emilys to fly the Units to Lunga? Being equipped with floats, they dont need an airfield to operate. I would think that also means they can fly to a base with a destroyed airfield (although I can not remember testing this).

Also note that the units closing the E and SE side ...

I would like to think the same way, but the manual makes the connection between repair points and 100=1damage a bit to clear in my opinion.

see the following

"2. Repair Capacity. Repairs are calculated in repair points. It takes 100 repair points to repair 1 damage point. Repair

At least that is the way I understand this old post from Alfred.

I bombed Lanchow and Chungking. I made a mistake at Chungking. I was moving troops in from all 6 hexes surrounding the base. The 110 Division moved in from the east, across the river and shock attacked. They were trashed but will recover. Now they're moving ...

Very nice!

Thanks for the input, guys. Been playing this game for decades and I still can't figure much of it out.

Something I realized a little while ago. In this mod you get only 1 supply per HI:

Am I dumb? :?
The screenshot looks to me like you get 200 supply (and HI points ...

The following screenshots show what I mean by not seeing info in the editor.

For airgroup #400, the scheduled resize is listed in the editor, I have highlighted the field in red.
For airgroup #500, this is one of the ijn carrier airgroups, the scheduled resize is not listed in the editor, I have ...

I was looking at the air group screen a bit and could not find anything on scheduled resizing. I looked up most of it in the editor, going by id made it easy (although some information like on scen 1 ijn carrier air groups seems to be missing in the editor :? ).
Maybe something for the future ...

Question for the group: How do you train defense for fighter pilots? I know there's a way but, for the life of me, can't remember how. I also know it's pretty slow. Thanks.


I think you set them to train sweep at an altitude of 100ft. This trains the strafe skill, but also def.

Just in case anybody wants to use tracker alongside the game and has problems installing it, I want to explain how I did it.

tldr: install the Windows version of java inside Wine, the rest is like on Windows.

I installed both WitP:AE and tracker using Wine, so the following will be based on that ...

Interesting to see that there are more missions that use 1 supply instead of 1/3 than I thought. The "Logistics 101" said
D.2) Cost of air missions

Each sortie flown consumes supply. Lack the requisite supply, the air mission is not flown. The actual supply cost depends on the type of mission ...

Have you taken a look at the downfall scenario? The map part used includes Singapore, the US west coast and the north Pacific. It runs for 1 year and you have the chance to take a look at some of the late war toys.

Not being able to run the tracker on my Linux is one of the reasons I postpone beginning to play this game as people keep telling it is a must. I think Python has much better chance of working, so I am looking forward for the new version. Good luck and thanks in advance!


Not to hijack this ...

Very nice to hear this news.

For the feature wishlist, an option to show Ship Classes/Aircraft that use a given Device would be nice. It took some time until I realized I could build the Type D1 SST and convert it to carry the Kaiten for example.

The maximum size is actually 115% of the carrier size (rounded down). This means Akagi can increase the squadron size up to 93 aircraft (splitting into 3 x 31), a 72 carrier can go to 82 and so on. 115% is also the maximum for launching (combat) missions.

I know the game says somthing like "choose ...

Since I see that you have increased the size of the carrier squadrons, is their a reason why you chose to increase them to 72? Is that a "perfect size" in some way I have not figured out yet or is their a different reason? I would usually increase them to their maximum size (and Zuikaku could ...
