RE: A suggestion

LoBe,

referring RN to a newby collection of threads is a little besides the point. My bet is he can teach you some.
And me.
I did not get his - but you are off for sure

RE: How to use the Aircobras?

<t> Just a few pieces of historical fact:<br/>
The p-39 was designed around a 37mm cannon - an oldsmobile adaptation of a rather common gun. The low velocity 37mm gun was fancied as a pretty potent bomber buster - repeat facied.<br/>
Without reference to the finer points: The p-39 used pretty much ...

<t> This is a "minority report" I take it. <br/>
Just going by the number of responses.<br/>

Would one of you guys pretty please spare a minute or so before the next move to check if scen 2 got the engine fix for Toyos - just so I know my install is not down the drain ?<br/>

Thank ...

A small to medium sized scenario - like Siam/Burma - sure would come handy to learn the ropes of the land combat model.<br/>
As did a similiar scenario in WitP.<br/>

06i - DB changes - some scen catch them some not ?

<t> Sunday morning cruise:<br/>
wanted to start a new Scen 2 game after patch for a look-see as Japan.<br/>

A quick scan revealed that the Toyos did not get the engine change to Ha-34. The Toyos in Scen 1 did have them.<br/>

In order to avoid any issues I performed a clean install ...

RE: Defence of India

Well,

call me names - but why should an attack on India - most likely modern day Bangla Desh or Cylon - be attractive ?

If the road network - or lack of - is anything to go by - Burma is quite a good position ?

Please enlighten me

air transport - at least in my game (scen 1 ai - through a couple patches ) did not help at all.<br/>

If the engine has an issue with supply and resource flow, I would think it is about time to find out - and ask the defs to fix it - or at least to admit a problem.<br ...

Do IJ pilots in group reserve get trained

Just a kind of poll, to help my failing memeory

Do pilots in IJ Airgroups set for training only get any benefits if the pilot is in "group reserve" ?

I thought they used to untill the lastest beta.

Brain fart ? Tell me.

RE: Why is holding Burma so hard for Japan?

<t> Sorry Fletcher,<br/>
<br/>
but your comment on developing bases in Burma in 42 for the IJ - while it sounds reasonable - is not supported by the game engine or the scenario (scen 1 in my case)<br/>

<t> Well Walloc,<br/>

if your impression of AV/CV rezising as intended by the devs is right - the chaps failed. Either based on coding or scenario design.<br/>

If the new "feature" benefits anyone - and to my lights it is no use (or rather limited) anyway - considering the pilot and ...

I am not quite sure, but I have a feeling, the IJN had the option for a considerable increase of pilot slots pretty much from the beginning.<br/>

But this is some 30 turns past - probably including a public beta or two.<br/>

Any pointers ?<br/>
