<t>Hey KGrob,<br/>

I run WF, and RS on Windows XP Home Edition without problems as well so I am guessing that maybe you are using XP Pro perhaps?<br/>

Hi Apollo11<br/>

When using large hunter killer groups in UV the vast majority of the ships in the TF do not detect let alone launch a successful ASW attack. If I have an 18+ ship Allied ASW TF assembled and it encounters an enemy sub I usually expect only ...

<t>To be fair you can't really compare WWII historical results, especially the battle cited, with UV sub & ASW behavior for a number of reasons,<br/>

First, sub & ASW doctirne as practiced in UV by most of my opponents and myself is completely ahistorical. Subs, especially Aliied S-boats, may ...

<t>Hey Mogami,<br/>
<br/>
Yes setting a TF to retirement allowed is the correct thing to do but Aloid's original post was for UV to provide 'stupid human alerts', i.e. to warn you when you have ordered your TF to do something that may be sub optimal for the given situation. If we all were capable of ...

<t>I believe what Aloid is asking for is quite acceptable. All UV players are comfortable with the idea of their TF commanders overriding or 'interpreting' your orders and making decisions for themselves, whether it be a convoy retreating from enemy CV's or surface TF's, FT's remaining on station ...
