Hey irrelevant, how much do you usually expand the HI factories? I rarely expand them by more than 1-200 over the first year or so.

Depends on what kind of luck you have capturing oil and resources. Doesn't make ...

<t> How many HI factories are there in the home islands? 15-20,000? Can't remember. Anyway, that (plus the number of resource centers) is the limit on how much supply you are going to produce every turn.<br/>
<br/>
That is, if you don't expand factories. Which, if you don't, you will likely wish ...

How many factories/shipyards do you have set to repair? Doesn't take very many to outstrip your entire production; costs 1000 points per turn per factory. This is the main supply burner in the home islands for most of the game.

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>What I mean is: You can manipulate air units to put, say, 33 pilots into a 27-plane Daitai, thereby freeing up more units to train, and having a "ready reserve" at the front so that units can sustain some combat yet remain at full-strength. Being aggressive about this, you ...

Arrgh, beat me to the punch, you![;)]

Are you sure you have repaired the Francis factories? They start out damaged you know.

Are you sure they use Nakajima engines? In some mods they use other types.

1. The manual is fairly clear on what needs to happen for replacements, yet these conditions do not always seem to work. Are there other replacement conditions that need to happen?<br ...

<t> No 10,000 ton cruiser was never going to be sunk by a single torpedo hit no matter how large the warhead.

It's not hard to tell, it only seems hard to tell because you never see it happen. But the reason you never see it happen is because it never does happen.[;)]

Carriers also have to steam into the wind to recover. Even if the carrier sustains nearly full speed, the TF advances at about cruising speed. The game doesn't model that.
