They definitely can engage missiles, it just doesn't show in the logs if they miss, as with normal anti-aircraft fire.

Re: Armor Schemes and Thickness
It is fitting the 1st post be about armor, there was a lot of it in the old forums. Lot of it is still actual, so you may want to take a look there. I'll link only one thread since it has a graphic or the armor distribution. https://nws-online.proboards.com/thread/1737/extended-belt-deck-aon-armor?...

Re: Unable to launch airstrikes
Playing as Germany in 1929, I have no ship based aircraft but plenty of land based. However, I have never been able to launch an airstrike - the button is always greyed out :( . Can anyone suggest an reason for this, please? (I'd like to attach a save game, but I can't work out which file type to s...

Re: Aircraft.
How about three different options? Disable aircraft and missiles, disable aircraft (only), and disable missiles (only). I had some other ones too, so this may end up being a large number of switches For RTW2 I had 1. Weaker Aircraft(no Aerial Torpedoes, AP Bombs, or bombentorpedo, which was the eas...

Re: Rebuilds, officers and autoresolve
Overall I'm really enjoying this game. It's a good step forward from RTW2. And mentioning RTW2 brings me to a few of points. First: I'm sure that in RTW2 a ship would receive an O in parenthesis when it had become obsolete and was due a rebuild. That doesn't seem to happen in RTW3. I'm rebuildng my...

Re: Aircraft.
I'm trying to decide whether to purchase or not. The aviation part is not what interests me. I know there is a Slow aircraft development button but eventually they will be in the game. Reading the manual, I see that there is an Auto select strike button. Does that work sufficiently? If I used this ...

A final pre-release post As we wait in the final ~7 hours before release, wanted to give you guys something to read while we wait. Post-release I'll keep updating this in the next few weeks, but probably at a slightly lower pace(bi-weekly?). Might even stream some missile age battles when I get int...

[snip] Unfortunately only made it up to radar level 3, as I didn't want to refit in the (friendly) USA who has level 4, but lacks my anti-aircraft technology. Radar needs a refit now?

To Missile Cruisers Over the winter and spring of 47', a lower intensity of warfare was observed across the seas around Europe as the Italian and German navies accepted that the French now had control of the sea. An Italian light cruiser was sunk in January by AM-46s and torpedoes from French land ...

I'm a bit disappointed to see the battle AI is just as dumb as it was before. Especially this war with the British. Wow they just totally sucked lol. Not too big of a deal, still very interested in the game and this AAR With the war with the British I think they performed tactically quite acceptabl...

Arms Race The decisive turn in the Franco-British war of 1939 kicked off a massive international naval race until the present(1945), as navies around the world adjusted to the new anti-ship abilities of air power. Compared to their 1930s loadouts, by 1945 many French warships are carrying twice as ...

I love the way you detail and explain the battles. It makes them very engaging and a joy to follow. Great AAR I think luck in battles can have a very important influence on the end result (tell Bismarck and that lucky hit on his rudder, or at Midway, the American dive bombers falling on the Japanes...
