No cruiser squadrons, but Aufklärungsgruppen (Scouting Groups, abbreviated AG). At Jutland, the Battle Cruisers ...

RE: Calling all lurkers (and forumites) - STATUS UPDATE please!

<t> I still look here occasionally, but I play the original WitP - AE is too much micromanagement for my taste. I play almost daily - a private mod as Japanese against the Allied computer. I've found that the supreme shipkiller is the Ju88 as dive bomber with 4x500 kg AP bombs, btw. I can tell you ...

RE: Snow Panic Scale

<t> The temperature record in Germany was apparently at Funtensee (Funten Lake), a small lake in the Bavarian Alps, where it went down to -41 deg Celsius. Outside of the Alps, there was a place near the German-Czech border where they had -27 degrees. And the folks on the Baltic coast had -20 as well ...

I have followed all the steps in your post to install the 64-bit 5.2.1. Now I'm missing "Rising Sun" and "U.S. Pacific". How do I get those DLCs back? Install the V2.48-Setup Release?
