Zuikaku and Soryu sunk, Shoho and Shok got mauled, but I think my last recon report said Shok was back at Rabaul (or she never left).

I thought recon reports didn't show ships in port??

It doesn't seem like the carriers in UV are carrying as many planes as the carriers in the real war. I haven't tried disbanding any, is there a way to stand down your wildcats and have some fresh planes brought up to the deck?

The real carriers had more fighters didn't they?

<t>Hey Ron, I know your frustration. The hardest thing so far I have found is getting your ships and planes to do what you want.<br/>
<br/>
I still haven't found a way to keep my carriers from attacking aside from standing down all my planes.<br/>
<br/>
I spent three or four turns getting in ...

Thanks, that is good to know, if the top five dislikes in UV are addressed in witp, it is going to be one hot game.

<t>I have to agree with most who have responded, play the game and then when witp does come out you will be happy you had a year to learn what you are doing on a smaller scale.<br/>
<br/>
Even if with comes out late this year, I plan to keep playing UV until the kinks and patches are worked out in ...

<t>Reading through all of these posts I have heard some nitpicking the game, but on the other hand some real good ideas to improve the game.<br/>
<br/>
I also use Adobe's Photoshop forum, and the designers from time to time post on the board reguarding problems and new ideas reguarding the software ...

OK, let me wipe the egg off my face. Still learning on Coral sea, and since the senerio set up a replenish task force to follow the two carriers I took for granted they would have fuel for refueling, but you are right, I don't see fuel listed.

<t>I had my replenishment tanker in the same hex with my carrier fleet, it was set to follow the carrier fleet.<br/>
<br/>
During the orders phase I clicked on the carriers to fuel at sea, then clicked on the tanker and ordered it to fuel TF at sea, but nothing happened.<br/>
<br/>
What is the ...

I have read the manual on this, but still don't have a real understanding of how to use them.

Do you have to build these barges as well as PT boats with supply points, and personel?

How do you use barges, when should you use barges?
Thank you.

<t>I agrre that more control is needed, there is nothing more frutrating than seeing a invasion force approaching, setting everything you've got to naval attack, then having your bombers head off to some other port instead of the invasion fleet.<br/>
<br/>
I think you should be able to head them in ...

<t>I'm not worthy, I never thought of making their home port the same as the destination port.<br/>
<br/>
Thanks again.<br/>
<br/>
Do the American carriers ever get the best of it in Coral Sea?<br/>
I have got the jump on them everytime, and had the first shot, but always seem to take the worst of ...

<t>I'm still learning on the Coral Sea senerio, a couple of more questions.<br/>
<br/>
I am trying to get my cruisers and DD's in Brisbane to do a fast transport to either Gili or Buna, and then stay there to help against an invaision force. <br/>
I set the taskforce to human control, do not ...

<t>I have played the Coral Sea again, the first four times I played the senerio, the Jap carriers headed down near Gili, so tihs time I thought I was doing pretty good, until the carriers showed off Guadalcanal, and pulverized the bases there, and took them.<br/>
<br/>
Completely neglected those ...

<t>Yes you all were right, the cruisers were set for retirement allowed, but since no enemy units were spotted within twenty hexes I can't understand why they would turn around for home, they were only about halfway up the Australian coast.<br/>
<br/>
I have played the Coral Sea now about four ...

<t>My Morale that is, I'm starting to get pissed off at this game.<br/>
<br/>
I had a couple of Cruisers headed for a srategic position off of Gili to attack the transports when they arrived, but for some reason they got two thirds the way there, and headed back to Brisbane...why?<br/>
<br/>
I had ...

Oh, that's good to know, so cargo planes can bring in aviation fuel to Buna I guess.

So if a base has supply, but 0 fuel, you can still keep the PB-y's on patrol?

<t>So you really have to run air ops out of Port Morsby for fuel reasons, or have your have your planes low on fuel in Buna, I guess this is strictly a carrier senerio.<br/>
<br/>
I hope in the new game they allow you to decide where your planes attack, kind of frustrating to let that taskforce ...

<t>I'm trying out the first senerio, Coral Sea.<br/>
<br/>
Three questions.<br/>
<br/>
1. I spotted a Japanese task force aproaching Buna, but everytime I tried to set a air attack on the Japanese task force I was promted "cannot attack TF" ???<br/>
<br/>
2. How can I get fuel to Buna, I can't can ...

I'm having a hard time telling when my cargo task force is ready to go, do you have to undock when the ships are loaded, or is this command for situations when you want to leave in a hurry with a partial load?

So you can't send one of the B-17's on a long range search, while you rest the remaining crews in that squad?
