<t> I just bought this game a few days ago, and I too am liking it.<br/>
Biggest problem I see is that it is a major time-eater.<br/>
What I would like to see is automation features (like scripting).<br/>
If you are familiar with Killer Bees' wonderful reworking of Empire Deluxe (Enhanced Edition ...

Anybody know where I can find the install file for this? The link is broken again...

<r>To clarify re: USN designation system:<br/>
The type prefix code is sometimes two characters rather than one. Hence, the 'TB' in TBD designated 'Torpedo Bomber' and the 'SB' in SBD designates 'Scout Bomber.' <br/>
Secondly, the manufacturer type sequence code (the '4' in F4F) is omitted unless ...

Ah, but isn't that what makes the possibility of using it interesting? Granted the ...

<t>Hooray! PT Boats were overglorified by Hollywood and were totally wierd in the game. Your comment about the aircraft vs. PT boats is dead on. I particularly hated the way aircraft armed with say torpedos or 800kg bombs would (in appearance, anyway) dump those weapons into the drink and gleefuly ...

<t>I have been playing the game since 1992 and can testify that this is a long standing bug. I don't recall exactly what the sequence is, but it is true that a misclick can send a TF into the twilight zone. I have heard that sometimes the TF is way off south on the map somewhere, or that the editor ...

<r>Well, it'll be easier if I can send it as one file, because it is an installer package, not a regular zip file. I realize I can install it and then zip the files up into several zip files, but since I have 3.0 installed I was a bit leary of doing that in case it doesn't prompt me for a location ...

I have also noticed that this seems to be a problem in v 3.0, at least for the Japanese.

Hey, I have got it, but its 7 MB and I'm not sure I can email a file that big. Any suggestions how to deliver it?

P.S. - Yes, it matters!

<r>Some of the CVEs you receive will have air groups assigned, while others will not. This is partly due to game limitations on the number of air groups. It is also somewhat historical, as many CVEs were used primarily as aircraft transports and replenishment ships.<br/>

I personally hope that ...

Oh, I'm not saying I mind. But I'm in a PBEM game right now and not knowing might have burned me but good!

Woah!
Thanks for the heads up, fellows.
That complicates attack and defense both!

Jeremy,
Aren't you thinking of June 6th at Normandy?

Jeremy, where do the UK reinforcements appear in 3.0?
They used to appear in Calcutta - even if it was occupied. (I have racked up some easy kills THAT way!):D

Don't know the answer, but if he is gone it is a real drag - he had good ratings in earlier versions.

<t>Note also that the Japanese Navy's "Short Designation System" is analogous to this. I will list a portion of the code which is of interest in Pacwar.<br/>

First Character:<br/>
A = Carrier Fighter, B = Carrier Attack Bomber (Torp. Plane),<br/>
D = Carrier Bomber (Dive Bomber), E = Recon ...

<r>Oh my, I never! Read carefully, sir. I referred to your PLAN as a weasel. I guess that makes you the daddy of a weasel, though. Ha! I can't seem to stop!:D<br/>

That's a cunning plan, Nomad... In fact, it's a plan so cunning, you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel!

<r>Well sadly, that particular feature was never in Pacific War.<br/>

I do remember (Who am I kidding? I still <I><s>[I]</s>have<e>[/I]</e></I> the dang thing) a game called <I><s>[I]</s>Carrier Strike<e>[/I]</e></I> which had those features. Unfortunately, there is no updated version of that ...
