Yeah, but isn't this guy supposed to be an active commander? Afterall, he did contribute rather enormously at 1st Savo.

Mike

Shouldn't he be available to actually command ships? I still haven't seen him, but would very much like to use a leader with ratings as good as his.

Mike

Has anyone seen Mikawa show up? In none of the games I've played, more than 1/2 a dozen including those in progress, I've never seen him available.

Mike

Yes, you're right, it was scen 17

<t>In a current Pbem game I have noticed that the HQ's for the 2nd and 38th Divisions haven't shown up, nor are they listed as scheduled to arrive. I am certain I haven't missed them, and in fact my ground unit losses are very low 31 points.<br/>
<br/>
As an aside, I am finding that it is nearly ...

<t>Recently I received the Yamato in one of my Pbem games... It received 3 percentage points of damage just sortying from Truk on its mission. Somehow, the computer did a lousy job of setting up its bombardment mission to PM and it was in air range just prior to attacking. It was hit with 3 1000lb ...

No sweat,

I am extremely pleased to see that you'all are working so diligently to perfect what is already the best Pacific game out there.

<t>Hi Erik,<br/>
<br/>
I have no problem with seaplanes getting strafed. I know that most of those at Tulagi were taken out, IIRC by the Yorktown just before Coral Sea. What is odd to me is that the survivors are trapped because the airstrip is damaged. How can you damage that seaplanes use?<br ...

<t>HI Ross,<br/>
<br/>
Thanks for the quick reply.<br/>
<br/>
First, are the Emily's on the base or in the water? If they're in the water, how can they be affected by the base damage<br/>
<br/>
Second, if I withdraw them, as I understand it the pilots go into a pool -- but the manual is silent on ...

I don't think this is a bug, but it is probably something that ought to be changed. My Emily's are getting strafed and slowly picked off at Lae because the airfield is a wreck, but they are presumably in the water. What can I do besides withdraw them?

Mike

And I thought I'd actually discoverd something...

And about my other post... any ideas on how I can send the dorks back to flight school?

I also noticed that my carrier air groups now include pilots in the 20s and 30s as reinforcements. This is after no carrier combat, and these guys are fighter pilots.

<t>Hi, I just noticed that some B-17s didn't do what I commanded them to do last turn at PM (Bomb Lae) and when I went to check and see if they had the right missions they did not. So I switched the mission on the unit in question, then hit the button to switch all other types at the base, and upon ...

<t>David, <br/>
<br/>
I hope you realize that the vast majority of gamers are silently enjoying the game, while a few gadflies on both ends monopolize the boards.<br/>
<br/>
To those of you complaining, what would you prefer:<br/>
<br/>
1) a game released and not supported? I'll bet my next paycheck ...

<t>I am personally amazed the Matrix has developed a model for each individual air combat. As much as we may all want, I don't think there is any way they can account for every possible variation of combat conditions. My 2 cents worth on this is that there is a clear consensus on what the solution ...

<t>Mike, thank you for attention and committment to the game. I hope if some of us seem huffy now and then, you realize it is beause we are addicted to the game and the process of perfecting it occasional leaves us jones'ing while details are ironed out. I don't think anyone should be surprised the ...

<t>I wanted to test this patch for myself, my results were:<br/>
<br/>
21 B-17s unescorted to Rabual on turn 3 of Scen 17<br/>
<br/>
They are intercepted by 44 Zeros, including obviously some from the carriers now in Rabaul plus 4 Claudes<br/>
<br/>
16 Zeros are shot down <br/>
13 damaged<br/>
<br ...

<t>Could someone from Matrix who is reading this please post a follow up on how to rename save game files? I have read the PDF files and all of this thread, I've also tried for nearly an hour to get a working file converted to no avail. I have 3 pending games with lots of time invested, I hope this ...

<t>I agree with you Tony, I've done the exact thing thing and seen the same results. I think there may be something about the fighter combat mechanics, because even if you simply look at Matrix's own ratings -- inferior pilots flying inferior planes and being outnumbered should lose -- shouldn't ...

<t>Clearly we have spoke past each other. If I do understand you, I again disagree with every single point you've made.<br/>

Re: Great Britain, I do not take Britain's support of America for granted. Frankly, President Bush has only done a mediocre job of making his case and even those who ...
