btw, have you ever considered giving the Allies an opportunity to expand their shipyards? i mean they can already do that with forts, airfields and ports....

<t> happens in landlocked situations, too, must be those damn partisans again. these guys are everywhere, even Hokkaido in a pinch [8|] i like the sub idea, though, the skipper is going to risk his boat just to snatch my pilot as POW... if only this, ...err... feature was limited to agressive ...

oh, btw, could you address being captured after bailing out above your own base with no enemy in a 300 nm radius? imagine defending Truk against B-29 raids and getting shot down, resulting in a capture of my 80+ experience pilot.

how much would it take to enable the 'Follow TF' button for enemy TFs? i understand that no new features will be added anymore, but it's already there, obviously, just restricted to friendlies.

that's what i was looking for. thx

<t> uh, i too ahve these animations turned off most of the time, i'm just a bit curious how single (wing flash) and multi (single flash) engined aircraft are seperated. note that i'm not talking about alignment, you may have misunderstood me. is it a slot based thing or is there some way to change ...

so, the engine determines whether there's one muzzleflash or two?

if so, where's the threshold?

I noticed that the locations of MG plumes in the combat animations are sometimes off, does anyone know how to change them? if you don't know what i mean, picture a P-47 shooting through the prop or a Lightning firing out of its engines.

thanx in advance.

At 20 miles range/35 knots speed (your figures, not mine), the torpedoes would take around half an hour to reach their designated targets. Do you perhaps want to consider if said targets might be in an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT ZIP CODE by then ...

And the IJN would have been able to utilize the full range of the Long Lance in a night battle, and the USN would have placidly steamed into all those fine torpedoes, suspecting nothing... Suuuuuure...[8|]

Personally I think their doctrine relied a bit too much on the enemy being dumb BUT if the USN had done what the Japanese expected I really don't have any problem imagining that 30 IJN DD ( 16 torpedoes each ) + 6 or so CLs ( another 16 torps ...

<t> i think you are reading too much into my quote. <br/>

within the context of the topic of USN BB armor, i meant to say that the only time a USN (that was what the thread was about after all) BB got hit by heavy naval artillery was at Guadalcanal.<br/>

i had this problem, slowed down things a bit to say the least, appears to be solved now [&o]

do you happen to have any CVE or CVL left for sacrificial purposes? if so, wouldn't a single CVE&nbsp;suffice to make at least one&nbsp;allied&nbsp;TF react out of CAP range, leaving the landing force without air cover? probably very gamey, but nevertheless much better than leading <I ...

<t> in my case, NJ refused to fire most of the time and, predictably, got spanked, worst case so far 55 hits with no return fire, NJ sank immediately....<br/>

<r> i wasn't quite content with the previous version, so i did an extensive update and additionally decided to mod a short late-war scenario with clear allied dominance. certain ships appear which historically weren't there, but you'll have to agree that Mutsu's demise wasn't inevitable...<br/>

any chance you could upload the tool via eg. sendspace com or is it under NDA ? i'd hate clicking through all these LCIs, y'know.
