Looks like a Ki-109 . Solid nose , 75 mm armed Ki-67 . An effort to build a high alitutude B29 interceptor . Hasegawa and LS ( i believe ) both make 1/72 scale kits of this bird .

<t> Patch does not seem to affect the data in Guadalcanal scenario . Shokaku and Zuikaku still have deck armor of " 0 " . F4F-4 replacement rate is still 20 . This is what i see when starting a fresh game and not a saved game . Coral Sea scenario reflects the new values . Does anybody else notice ...

<t> In ver 1.50 , player requested feature #18 , after aug 42 allied db's may sometimes use 1000 lb ap bombs . Starting in 43 allied heavy bombers may sometimes used 2000 lb ap bombs . I remember having read that in IRL the gp bombs were set to go off as soon as they hit but that even a slight delay ...

Hello Nikademus , I found the save and am easily able to duplicate the prob of the phantom sq . Where should i send it ? Regards ... HMcS

... Thank you for providing an email address in your earlier post .... i was looking right at it but didn't see it at all ..... dang !

<t> Hello YAR , This prob. seems to crop up when you transfer an airgroup fragment back to the parent unit on a carrier . How to best avoid the prob is to transfer the parent airgroup to the same base as the fragment and have them merge there before you move them back onto the carrier . If the a/c ...

Hello TimTom , As i understand it , when the allied player saves his pbem turn the combat results are locked in at that point . So as the japanese player you can reload the turn as often as you want but the results should always be the same . Regards ... HMcS

<t> In my pbem ( scen 17 , 2.3 ) as the allies i've hit mines in hex 39 , 40 . I seem to remember reading in the manual that if you lay mines in a hex with a port or a/f of 1 or greater the mines will be sown to prevent an amphib invasion . but if the hex is still 0 / 0 the mines will be sown ...

<t> I didn't think it was but it's happening in my pbem game too - Scen 17 - from the ship avail screen - Jan 5th 43 - last turn under 2.3 - Essex - 36 / 18 / 18 /15 . By Jan 31st the Essex is at 36 / 18 / 16 / 10 . So even though she's not in theatre she's lost 7 planes . It has happened with ...

<t> Hello Mike , I've had this happen a number of times . While not foolproof if you're moving planes on and off carriers i've found it best to have both ships at the same port and to first transfer the a/c to the base , then to the ship . You can do both in the same turn . You can even load sbd's ...

<t> Hello All , A little help needed here .... . I'm several months into a pbem game and i've recaptured a couple of bases . Unfortunately after recapture LeaLea showed a minus supply level of 1.6 billion . And now with the last ija unit retreating from PM it went to a minus 2.1 billion supply ...

<t> Hello MC3744 , I've seen up to three different combat replays from a single combat save . I chalk it up to FOW . You can only really be sure of damage done to your forces . Everything else is only " reported " damage done to the opposition . Even intel reports are not 100% accurate . Lots of ...

<r> Hello JC , I use MS paint for what i've done . It's pretty simplistic but you can do alot with it . For altering the plane side views under images uncheck " draw opaque " . That will allow you to overlay the plane side view onto the clouds . For UV i did a zero , val and kate from scratch using ...

<t> Hello Ol_Dog , What i believe DJAndrews and i saw was that hopelessly damaged ships , which were in port at Rabaul when it fell , were transported back to Japan , had all their damage was repaired , and were available for re-release to the theatre the very next day . In my case the Yamashiro had ...

<t> Hello DJ , After reading your post i went and checked on a game i'm playing against the ai . It's Scenario 17 and is Oct 43 so the game is well won for the allies . I fire it up every so often to practice amphib invasions . I seem to do a poor job of them even without any japanese interference ...

<t>Hi All , Von Frag is bang on . Far more Ki-100's were produced using converted Ki-61 airframes than new airframes . That would put the total closer to 400 that were available for combat . From when the orders were issued in Nov 44 the Japanese were able to get a prototype airborne by early Feb 45 ...

<t>Hi all , there seems to be a number of aircraft for both sides listed in the databases that would not have appeared in the timeframe of UV . I'm assuming that this database will be the basis for what will be used in WiTP and that's why those other aircraft are there . That being said there are a ...

Hi All , Nice song ! Great to read about all the upcoming refinements and changes to the OOB's . One small question - is that just a typo where the normal and extended ranges are switched or .... ? adios ... HMcS

<t>Hello DTX , I remember reading a post quite some time ago about the very same thing . It appears that if the starting point of a bombardment or surface combat task force is inside of 1/2 of their maximum movement allowance to a given target hex they will move to a spot where they are at that 1/2 ...

<t>Hi Drongo , Do you feel the LBA cap would have performed better if it had of been assigned LRcap over the fleet even though the range would have been 0 ? Each hex represents 30 miles , or around 700 sq miles so i guess it's alot to expect 24 P-38's to cover the base and a task force . The more i ...

<t>Hi Drongo , Thank you for the insight and advice . Swearing ? Yes , lots and lots of swearing . And storming out of the room while swearing . Or walking down the hallway on the way to the kitchen to make another coffee and swearing . One episode against the A.I. particularly tweaked me - it's in ...
