Halsey, many thanks...this is top notch work.

So is the official position of the development team that it is useless asking them questions since they didn't test the game enough to know whether certain devices work?<br/>
<br/>
Sorry but I'm quite sure ...

Here's an idea: why don't YOU try it, and find out?

<br/>
Wow, that's some kind of answer from a dev team member to what seems to be a legit and politely asked question.<br/>
<br/>
I guess nothing has changed since ...

About the only actionable SigInt along these lines if if you were to see "China Expeditionary Army loaded on AK Kongo Maru moving towards Rabaul" or some such. Then you've got a pretty good idea of the veracity of the message.

<t> Obviously, my message has been lost in my initial delivery. For that I appoligize.<br/>
<br/>
However, my points remain. I've suspended playing after running into a IJN surface combat TF between the HI and SF. I had no idea IJN DD's were so fuel efficent. [X(] I'll wait at see how patch two ...

Nik, I'm trying real hard not to pick a fight with you, as I respect your work. <br/>

To answer your question, I have in WitP, haven't in AE yet. Not sure I want to ...

I presume ...

Fair enough, I believe I've made my point.

I don't want to see this thread locked as there is worthwhile discussion going on.

Fine...lets get all the "handicaps" out in the open. Let the users decide.

Any devs care to share this list?

I'm sorry you don't enjoy the game. I hope you get your refund. But coming into a game's forums with an attitude and expecting to be taken seriously is a bit too much. And you didn't just call the baby ugly, you've thrown it away with yesterday's ...

Some of the added Allied handicaps were added at the last minute before release.

Nice. How many fricken "Allied handicaps" are there?<br/>
<br/>
This is NOT how you balance a historical simulation. Imagine Jane's F-15 ...

Umm...how so? Why don't you go read the "Naval Gun" thread in the mod forum. JWE very clearly states IJN guns ...

<r> JuanG, this is what set me off:<br/>

Nice. Dude, I used to be you. Hundreds if not thousands of hours online answering questions about one of our game. Tech support-ish, design insight, whatever. I could be a real b*stard to the trolls ...

<t> No, it should have been named "War in the Pacific, JFB Edition"<br/>
<br/>
Yeah, I'm serious. Someone talk me down form this ledge, I'm on the verge of deleting this mess from my hard drive. If the development team had been upfront with the JFB bias their design had I could accept that. Wouldn ...

<r> Ummm...say what? [X(]<br/>
<br/>
Am I reading this correctly? Something as fundimental as naval guns have been tweaked to an ahistorical value?<br/>
<br/>
For all scenarios? <br/>
<br/>
Truly, it seems AE is far more of a "game" than a historical simulation. That's fine, but I don't recall ...

<t> There are significant differences in aircraft ranges between the "stock" 8 Dec start and the "quiet China" 8 Dec start. From what I have seen so far, the "quiet China" ranges are less - in some cases hundreds of miles so. <br/>

So I ask TimTom - which set of ranges are more correct?<br ...
