<B><s>[B]</s>(1) Each shell is fired as a seperate entity for 57mm or larger, in naval combat. <br/>
Smaller than that are fired in bursts.<br/>

<B><s>[B]</s>I think, today it should be possible to calculate the following aspects<br/>
(a.) the effect of a hit<br/>
(b.) the acc in different ranges<br/>
(c.) the fire rate<br/>
(d.) the range finding ...

<B><s>[B]</s>Effect is a second factor. Effect is the "damage" variable that you seek. It is in the game. <br/>
The effect value is used differently for anti-shipping attacks than it is for anti-land attacks ...

Are you saying, that penetration & damage are STILL COMBINED in 1 value? You're KILLING ME!!! <E>:mad:</E><br/>

<QUOTE><s>[QUOTE ...

<r>There can be many different approaches to a problem, and they might have different merits.<br/>
The best – IMHO – is the one, that grows out of the already existing, established games of the great&only GG.<br/>
The GG games, that I love, are: <br/>
War in Russia (WiR), Pacific War (PW), Carrier ...

In the screenshots, that I've seen, the guns have only 2 characteristics: Range and Penetration.
For now, I'm talking only about gun itself, not it's position, ammo qty or armor.

Is this true? If no – then – what other characteristics do guns have? These 2 seem WAY too little.

Moderator, pls delete this - it's a mistake

<t>I confirm what Swar says.<br/>
<br/>
When we play from 1941 – all upgrades correctly. <br/>
However, when we load Mariana scenario – 1.1 inschers remain as they were. For ALL US destroyers.<br/>
Saving&reloading didn't help, and NEITHER did going through 1 turn.<br/>
But – strange thing – IJN ...

Well, I guess it's 1 more thing to fix in 2.4. Jeremy, can we hope to see it in 2.4?

<t>Questions to Rich Dionne on PWHints.<br/>
<br/>
1. What are max patrol ranges for subs? <br/>
PWHints stated, that coastal class subs (RO,'S',K.XIV) won't attack ships, if patrol range is 20 or more.<br/>
The PWHints says: <br/>
----------------------<br/>
Coastal submarines (RO,'S',K.XIV classes ...

Guns on submarines – are they ever used in the game?
I don't recall them ever hit a ship or a plane. Seems that torps are the only meaningful weapon for a sub.

<r>I've compared flak of Allied DDs in 12/41 and 6/44 in V 1.2 (last Gary's).<br/>
Seems, that SOME (not all) of US DDs change flak as follows: <br/>
Each MG becomes 2*20mm flak; Each 20mm flak becomes 2*40 mm flak;<br/>
This behavior is demonstrated by: Benham, Farragut, Gridley, Mahan DDs.<br ...

<r>V. 2.3 Bug - Ship upgrades not working!<br/>
<br/>
Ships in Pac War undergo a number of upgrades through the war. <br/>
They consist mainly (but not only) of addition of new and/or more powerful flak.<br/>
And now it isn't working! <br/>
F. exm: Benham class DD in V. 1.2 had flak:<br/>
12/41 ...

At least US carriers count only 75% for the CAP penalty in 43-44-45. <e>[/B]</e></B><e>[/QUOTE]</e></QUOTE>
Umm… Are you sure about 43? The rulebook errata says 44-45. <br/>
BTW – it's unclear ...

<t>In original manual it was stated, that Allied CV is worth 3 CV pts, versus 2 for Japs.<br/>
1. Is this still true?<br/>
2. IMHO, that wrong. <br/>
After radar appeared – and that's 1942 for Allies – the coordination became better than that of Japs.<br/>
Radar is useful not only in detecting enemy ...

In old rulebook errata, Gary stated, that amount of CAP above Air Combat TF was calculated as follows:
if (6+Random(8) < CV points) then CAP is halved.

Is this still true?

<t>Examples, where the data is wrong:<br/>
1. Repair cost & rate.<br/>
CVLs are repaired at the same rate, as CVs. This is obviously wrong, because they're at least 2 times smaller.<br/>
CV repair rate is 2/3 (repair of 2 damage points costs 3 port repair points), and for CVE it's 3/2 (seems right ...
