Alright, I’ll give it a shot. Thanks all.

Ok, so it IS a parent HQ proximity issue then. I haven’t seen that with other units scattered around the map. Is it being treated differently because it is an HQ itself?

Not frustrating at all.

Now that’s good to know.

So true. There are times you are just like, “really? Ok, I’ll kill those ships too.”

Pretty sure I’ve caught the AI teleporting ships. I never grabbed a screen shot, so I don’t have proof.

So I still play AI games to pass the time between PBEM turns. I'm trying the revamped scenarios in 28b, Scenario 1 in particular, and I'm in Oct 42. So I moved over to the J side because I am curious as to what the "AI" (game engine, whatever) is doing. Just taking a peek behind the curtain. Tokyo ...

Nothing wrong. There had been some art updates over the years, some that looked kinda snazzy and some that added unit badges/seals. Was just wondering if any were compatible with 28b.

Is there a good breakdown on the HQ system, on how it works and what is the best benefits from matching units to local HQs? Want to make sure my forces are getting the best bonuses and avoiding penalties.

You mean the scenario description? Not always very informative. Just curious about broad stroke info on all the new scenarios in 27 beta. Like what is T2 and T3? Tier 2 and 3, but that does that mean?

Now that would make sense. I had the original game but of course now play AE. Thank you.

Well, I remember in the past being able to upgrade US AKs to ARs. I can't seem to do that anymore. I am using a stock scenario, US Full Campaign (Quiet China). I was just curious as to if others had noticed if this upgrade path had been removed.

Did they turn off this upgrade during some previous patch?

Got to download this WITP Tracker item. Never heard of it before, but then again I don't normally peruse the forums. Been playing this game since it came out in its original form (WITP), and I had some random questions. Thanks guys.

Question remains, can leaders have their attributes increase like pilots can?

<t> Two questions:<br/>
<br/>
1) Why did the devs include 2 x Spruance in the full campaign? I see two of them when I go to select a CVTF leader.<br/>
<br/>
2) Can leaders be promoted? I have seen pilots receive promotions after achieving numerous kills, but what about Captains/Admirals/Generals ...

<t> I did a search and came back with zilch...<br/>
<br/>
Was there ever a consensus on the optimal size of a CV TF? I assume that putting 25 CV/CVL in the same TF incurs some stacking penalty, but is there a recommended formula (CV to BB to escort ratio for example) for making the ideal CV TF ...

Thanks for that response. Yeah, I noticed that about the editor manual. Quite annoying.

Any ideas about the "USE AI" button in the editor?

In the editor, under the Scenario tab, what do "USE AI" and "USE RESPAWN" do? I noticed pretty much none of the stock scenarios use either option.
