<t>"He has had the amazing ability to do something no one has ever done before. He has pushed Chiteng and Mdiehl into the mainstream camp."<br/>
<br/>
Isn't that simply an amazing accomplishment? If nothing else, TJ's made us all aware that our differences of opinion are really relatively small in ...

<t>I have no problem with micromanagement that accomplishes something...unlike quite a bit of the pointless micromanagement you're forced to do in UV due to a kludgy interface or someones vague and basically wrong understanding of what "strategic control" is.<br/>

"Like a child, it has to be ...

<t>Who are you in WitP? Good question.<br/>
<br/>
I tend to think (obviously) that you should have some ***limited*** ability to control your wartime environment. The effects of your actions should be reflected in gameplay. If I carefully manage my shipping (unlike the Japanese) via painful ...

<t>It's not a question of "Albert Speer hits Japan" or a "mini-US", it's a question of you, as the overall commander, being able to implement those reforms/procedures that you would IRL be within your abilities to effect.<br/>

ASW capabilities, whether techniques, more escorts, or research is ...

<t>"but aside from locations like Guadalcanal where they had to build up under attack, I can't remember them running out of supply or ammunition before they ran out of soldiers to expend it."<br/>
<br/>
The true effect of the lack of supply isn't in what they got, but what they didn't get. To ...

<t>Fuel was the number 1 concern for the Japanese throughout the war. At no point did they have "fuel to burn"...all operations planned with fuel considerations in mind. Giving the IJN player "unlimited" fuel ANYWHERE would distort "reality" (whatever that is). <br/>
<br/>
For this campaign fuel ...

Well, I'm at the bottom of a 24.6 connection with no cable in sight. Stone age, but there's still alot of us out here in the hinterlands with ancient copper phone lines.

Pdf is fine with me...I'd rather print it out on 8.5 x 11 paper and bind it myself. Then it's "disposable".

<t>Well, I started to be nasty and tell you all how and where to jam this patch...but it would be unfair to the other people, most of whom are pretty nice guys. Even the "everyone" "who thinks you owe them something". To much bullshit attached to this "free" upgrade, it ain't worth the price tag ...

<t>Well, I've worked on organized projects building 3D models and upgrades for a coupla games as well, so I know how you feel...and I'll never, ever do it again. NEVER. EVER. Point with PacWar is that it used to work well enough to become a cult game...now it doesn't...at all. Palembang oil bug, who ...

<t>Relax Tom...I doubt if most of us expect you to have every niggling detail perfect (in whoevers personal opinion), or to create an OBC that will make everyone happy in every way, all the time. I kinda figure that's why you gave us an editor and a PacWar thread to talk about it, ya know? <br/>
<br ...

<t>That's correct, but the problem is the unhistorical number of B-29's getting whacked by AA fire...NOT by fighters. You could pull all the Jp. fighters out, and still probably lose enough B-29's to unhistorically deplete your air wings. That's why I was saying to increase the durability*, and ...

<t>Liberty should be 11 knots, durability of around 30, capacity of around 100. Victory should be 16 knots (listed speeds of 15-16.5), durability of around 35, capacity of around 120.<br/>
<br/>
Quite a few of the Jap merchant ships have a lower durability rating compared to the Allied ships than ...

<t>Well, that's what everyone "ends up" doing. The B-29's are nice (when they're working) because you can hit the eastern cities while attacking the others from the west with your shorter range AC. Kinda nice to have those bases in the Mariana's working, and those massed B-29 strikes are excellent ...

<t>"alternate" OBC I'm working on begins on 8 Dec 41 if you have any info/input on that. That way Pearl results would be "hardwired" into the game. Input on appropriate "gamey" damage levels for individual ships would be appreciated as well.<br/>
<br/>
Any good websites for what went on theatre wide ...

<t>No way of accurately modeling flak or fighter coverage on the "strategic level". The best you can do is try to balance the variables of cost/durability/cannon rating to the point where the B-29 isn't either a flying tank, to expensive to use, or so cheap that you can convert all your bombers to B ...

It helps to put a leader in charge of transport TF's with a high aggression rating as well as a high land rating. You won't get as much dithering around. With a cheesedick in charge or no leader, they sometimes won't have the cohones to enter an enemy AZOC.

The B-29 stats just need tweaked a bit is all. They need to be slightly more durable and slightly cheaper IMO...just one of those things that can only be figured out through gameplay.

Are you using "enable macros" when you load?

<t>Here's a thought...B-29's were completely ineffective until Feb '45 when Lemay ordered them to start low level incendiary attacks. <br/>
<br/>
Edit the OBC to reflect the groups arriving at roughly that period or later so that they appear at full group AC strength, with about a 70+ experience ...
