Thanks a lot, Soeren! It works!
Now I have a lot to read in the Forums to get back to-date.

<t>Hello,<br/>
this is not the best place to post this, but I know that some people reading this forum are playing Bombing the Reich too, and I really need some help.<br/>
<br/>
I have been off-line for several months, last week I tried to go to Jean Luc's page about BTR, and I could not access it ...

<t>If you thought UV had some bugs at the start, you MUST play Hearts of Iron if you want to know what really is a bug.<br/>
<br/>
I bought the game, installed, played the first tutorial (first Crash to Desktop), tried to play the first campaign... After six crashes in one day my save files did not ...

Make it three!

<t>jrcar, did the TF at 38,48 include any carriers? (I assume answer is yes, given the strong Wildcat CAP).<br/>
<br/>
Then, that second strike with just 7 Zeros and 10 Bettys would be completely justified in my own opinion, and is just the kind of 'sacrifice attack' that a Japanese war-time ...

Did you know that in the two collisions mentioned by PzB the same ship was involved? Heavy cruiser MOGAMI. Just bad luck, or some dudhead on board...

Entemedor

<t>Yes Feinder! YES YES YES!!!<br/>
<br/>
I absolutely agree that we need the date of loss in that screen. I too am checking the losses every turn (and keeping a printed list), the only way I have now to know what enemy ship has been added is to keep and check that list.<br/>
<br/>
OWL, Yamamoto ...

<t>Knavey, we are seeing much less posting about air combat reports after v2.20, simply because now air combat is going so well as it will ever go. Thanks to Cap_and_gown, Grotius, Drongo, DoomedMantis, jrcar and others, who did hundreds of tests, air combat was at last finely tuned. I don't think ...

PT109 was rammed and cut in two by DD AMAGIRI on the night 1/2 August '43.

2. The only way to move fuel is by ship, and then only by ships equipped to load and unload it - TKs and AOs.<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
A few times when I was really desperate to get fuel quickly to some base, I ordered an ordinary AP transport force to load fuel. It worked, although they ...

<r>When a pilot is shot-down, sometimes I have seen the message 'pilot ba49s out wounded and is rescued', instead of`'bails out...'.<br/>
<br/>
In some submarine attacks (very few), the first sound you hear is that of air to air combat instead of sub attack. I have not yet found a pattern here ...

<t>In fact, the commander of that destroyer escort (USS ROWELL) was subject to censure by the Board of Enquiry, but no disciplinary action was taken, because the Board was only too aware that there had been serious 'errors of judgment' at several levels. <br/>
SEAWOLF arrived in the Morotai area one ...

<t>Yes, there is no problem for the IJN. At first my convoys trying to reach Lae suffered heavily from Moresby planes, so now I have most convoys arrive at Wewak and from there I have a supply shuttle involving almost 100 barges, all the way down to Lae and Salamaua. This also wears down the Allied ...

<t>I don't have SILENT VICTORY, but other sources have at least two US subs sunk by IJN ships during 1942:<br/>
<br/>
SHARK (SS-174) by DD AMATSUKAZE, 11 Feb 1942<br/>
PERCH (SS-176) by DDs AMATSUKAZE (again!) and HATSUKAZE, 3rd March 1942<br/>
<br/>
A possible third victim is GRUNION (SS-216 ...

<t>If I remember correctly, the most remarkable damage-control on the Japanese side was that of cruiser MOGAMI at Midway. After losing her bow in the collision with MIKUMA, she suffered several bomb hits. In fact, afire and with her bow missing, she looked so clearly a goner that the last USN wave ...

<t>Under v2.20 my IJN subs are getting quite good at last. <br/>
Last turn I-3 attacked an (apparently) unescorted convoy as it entered Moresby, torpedoing two different ships in succession; to my surprise, she even surfaced to finish-off one of them with gunfire (so this actually happens in UV):<br ...

Well, now the Matrix team have a good clue to fix that one. Not game-killing, just annoying and quite difficult to re-create, but worth a look nonetheless.

Greetings,

If you mean that the display window can't be exited after ordering the transfer of an air unit to another base, that also happened to me twice. Perhaps a big coincidence, but in both cases the commanding officer of the squadron had crashed on the transfer, and the place where he ...

<t>It doesn't sound unrealistic to me, it almost looks HISTORICAL. If your CAP has claimed some 160 planes that very turn, a further strike is more than able to find them out of ammo, out of fuel, out of height and out of wits. <br/>
If the CAP would magically regain strenght, fuel and altitude ...

thanks a lot for the Sensuikan link, it's the best I have seen in some time. In my previous comment about FIDO being used just in the Atlantic I failed to include the sentence 'during the period covered by UV', I believed they were not deployed in the Pacific till the end of 1943 ...
