CHS Update List

Post by Andrew Brown »

Hi all,

The next CHS revision is inching closer, and I am posting a list of the changes made so far. Note that this list is not complete, and at least one of the changes - to the British AA - is possibly going to be reversed. The British AA may be represented in its proper discrete units, rather than merged with the base forces.

There are a few things left to do:

- Some more US Army revisions being done by AlaskanWarriot
- Finish new Japanese sub upgrades
- Possible redo of British AA
- Rearrangement of US high level command structure (see separate thread on this)

Note also that I intend on providing TWO CHS variants:

1 with standard data as is.
1 with a large subset of mods very similar to Nik's mods.

Finally, the following list of changes does not include the huge reworking of the IJA OOB and TO&E that Jwilkerson did. The details of those changes will be included in the scenario documentation.

Sorry about the very poor formatting, this was all cut & pasted from a HTML document.

I welcome any comments about these upcoming changes.

Andrew

 CHS Version History
 Changes in CHS Version 2.00
 
    1.
 
       Large numbers of disabled resource centres and oil centres have been added to
 most of the bases in the mainland United States, as well as large numbers of
 additional Heavy Industry centres (which are not disabled, but will not create
 additional output until the disabled resource and oil centres are repaired). These
 can be repaired during the course of the scenario, resulting in gradually increasing
 amounts of supplies and fuel being generated for the United States as the scenario
 progresses.
 
       There is more than sufficient time in the scenario for all of the supplies
 expended to repair the facilities to be replaced, so it does not make sense to leave
 these additional facilities disabled.
 
       The numbers and locations of the disabled resource/oil centres is as follows:
 
       Base
       	Hex
       	Resource Centres
       	Oil Centres
       United States
       	148,40
       	700
       	500
       San Diego
       	148,51
       	480
       	-
       Los Angeles
       	146,51
       	660
       	300
       San Francisco
       	142,49
       	630
       	100
       Sacramento
       	143,48
       	510
       	-
       Portland
       	137,41
       	570
       	-
       Boise
       	143,40
       	540
       	-
       Spokane
       	139,36
       	450
       	-
       Seattle
       	136,38
       	600
       	100
       TOTAL
       	
       	5140
       	1,000
 
       When all these centres are repaired - a process that will take about two years
 - the additional output will be 6,140 fuel points and 11,565 supply points per day.
    2.
 
       The amount of spare resources generated in Australia have been reduced, to
 ensure that the Allied player does not simply ship these excess resources to the USA
 rather than repair the disabled resource centres located there. Supply produvtion
 levels in Australia are retained, however, by locating daily supply output at major
 Australian bases.
    3.
 
       US Army leaders (Genereals) have been revised. Those that did not exist, or
 were not in the Pacific theatre, have been removed, and a few new leaders have been
 added. IN addition, several leaders have had their ratings revised.
    4.
 
       The Japanese land OOB and TO&E has been extensively revised to make it more
 accurate. Please see the scenario documentation for details.
    5.
 
       The following Allied LCUs have been modified, as indicated:
 
       Unit
       	Nationality
       	Location
       	Modification
       102nd Reserve Div
       	Philippines 	Cagayan
       	Changed to be on map at game start, instead of arriving as a reinforcement
       71st Reserve Div
       	Philippines 	44,50
       	Moved from Tuguegarao
       41st Reserve Div
       	Philippines 	Lucena*
       	Moved from Naga
       51st Reserve Div 	Philippines 	Lucena* 	Moved from Naga
 
       * New base
    6.
 
       The following Soviet LCUs along the Manchukuo border near Vladivostok have had
 their Fort levels increased to 6 (from 0). This border was heavily fortified by the
 Soviet Union before the war:
 
       32nd Rifle Division
       106th Region Fortress
       40th Rifle Division
       107th Region Fortress
       92nd Rifle Division
       108th Region Fortress
       105th Rifle Division
       110th Region Fortress

       35th Rifle Division (fort level 3)
    7.
 
       The following Allied LCU Reinforcements have been added or modified, to

       New units are highlighted in green. All units arrive in San Francisco.
 
       All of the infantry divisions, including the British and Canadian units, have
 US Army equipment in their TO&E, as per US Army divisions, except squads. The 3rd
 British Division uses late war British squads; the 6th Canadian Division uses British
 and US squads as there is only one type of (early war) Canadian squad.
    8.
 
       There are many light and heavy British AA Regiments missing from the game. Due
 to a shortage of free LCU slots in the database, these missing formations have not
 been added as separate units. Instead, the weapons from these units have been added
 to existing units - British base forces and CD units, with the exception of units in
 Sarawak/Sabah.
 
       The TO&E of these missing AA Regiments is as follows:
 
       Unit Type
       	Number Missing
       	TO&E
       Heavy AA (HAA) Regiment
       	5 at start
       11 reinforcements
       	Three batteries of 8 x 3.7in AA guns each
       Light AA (LAA) Regiment
       	1 at start
       18 reinforcements
       	Three batteries of 18 x 40mm Bofors guns each
 
       These AA units are broken up and distributed amongst the British LCUs as
 follows:
 
       Unit Type
       	Elements Added
       	Comments
       CD Units
       	1 x HAA Regiment
       1 x LAA Battery
       	Added to:
       Hong Kong Fort
       Singapore Fort
       Rangoon Force
       RN Base Forces
       	1 x HAA Battery
       1 x LAA Battery
       	Except No. 106, 107 and 109 Base Forces in Sarawak/Sabah/Borneo
       RAF Base Forces
       	1 x LAA Battery 	No. 1xx RAF Base Forces only
       Aden Base Force
       	1 x HAA Regiment
       1 x LAA Regiment
       	
       Middle East Base Force
       	1 x HAA Regiment
       1 x LAA Regiment 	
 
       Penang Fort and ther ISF base forces, in Malaya, retains the same AA armament
 as in the official scenario.
 
       As part of this reworking of the British AA units, the three existing
 independent British AA units have been removed from the game: 48th Light AA Regiment
 (Kota Bharu)
       1st Burma Auxiliary AA Regiment (Mandalay)
       8th Belfast Heavy AA Regiment (reinforcement)
 
       In addition, to represent the numbers of AA guns present in Malaya at the start
 of the war, and the fact that reinforcement AA units were subsequently shipped there
 as reinforcements, the LAA batteries represented in the base forces all start at half
 strength.
    9.
 
       Several Allied CD units have been combined when there were more of them in one
 location. This was done partly to free up a number of LCU slots. In addition some
 others, as well as several base forces, have been renamed and/or had their TO&Es
 modified, and one (Fort Hayden) has been added. The affected units are as follows:
 
       Location
       	New CD Unit
       	Old CD Unit(s)
       	Comments
       Victoria (135,38)

       Revised TO&E
 
   10. The following Japanese CD and Base Force units have had their TO&E revised to
 make them more accurate, mainly by adjusting their CD guns (some have gained guns,
 some have lost them):

   11.
 
       The Japanese NLF units had their LCU formation entry (slot 932) cleared by
 mistake, so that it was completely empty. Fixed.
   12.
 
       Australian CD units with faulty planning targets have been fixed.
   13.
 
       The load cost of Aviation Support has been increased from 10 to 20, to make it
 the same as the load cost of all other support type devices.
   14.
 
       The build rate of the USMC Engineer Squad (device 330) has been restored from
 11 to 21.
   15.
 
       The Vickers Mark VI tank (slot 481) was defined as an aircraft gun. Fixed.
   16.
 
       All ASW weapons have had their Range, Effect and Accuracy ratings - all
 previously halved - returned to normal. The halving was originally done to reduce the
 effectiveness of ASW attacks, but this has been addressed in the game code since the
 1.7x patches.
   17.
 
       The Commonwealth rifle squad device now updates to a newer Commonwealth rifle
 squad, rather than to an Indian light squad.
   18.
 
       All large CD gun devices have been relocated in the device table, to a slot
 range in the 540+ area. This frees up device slots in both the Japanese and the
 Allied parts of the device database.
   19.
 
       All unarmoured ships that previously had 5mm of deck and belt armour added,
 such as AKs, TKs, most DDs etc, have had that armour removed.
   20.
 
       The following new Japanese submarine class is available:
       Type Yu*:
       Class 652
       Available: 11/44
       Endurance: 1500
       Fuel: 9
       Upgrade to: 652
       Weapon 1: 37mm M1933 AA Gun (78), 1 x 1, All, Ammo 18
       Other: Snorkel
 
       * The Type Yu submarine class is a Japanese ARMY submarine class.
   21.
 
       US submarines now have air search radar available in refits. These radars are
 short ranged and should provide a modest increase in protection vs enemy aircraft. 
 The two radar types added are:
       SD Radar:
       SV Radar:
 
       The SD radar is part of the first 1942 submarine refits for the following
 classes:
       Perch, Salmon, Tambor, Gato, Narwhal, Argonaut (4/43), 'S' Class (4/43)
 
       The SV radar is part of the first 1944 submarine refits for the following
 classes:
       Tench, Balao, Gato
   22.
 
       British submarines now have air search radar available in refits. This radar is
 short ranged and should provide a modest increase in protection vs enemy aircraft.
 The radar types added are:
       Type 291 Radar:
 
       The Type 291 Radar is part of the 1943 refits for the following classes:
       KXIV, British 'T' Class, British 'S' Class
   23.
 
       The "Snorkel" device has been added for use by submarines, which is represented
 as a limited effectiveness air search radar. The Dutch O19 class submarine was fitted
 with a Snorkel, and it is also available for some later Japanese submarines and
 submarine refits as follows:
       The Snorkel is added to the following Allied classes (from the start of the
 game):
       O19
 
       The Snorkel is available in the following Japanese classes:
       Type STo
       Type ST
       Type STS
 
       The Snorkel is also available in the following new Japanese submarine refits:
       B3/B4 class - 440701
       C3/C4 class - 440301
   24.
 
       The Japanese CV Shinano can now be completed as a BB instead of a CV, if the
 Japanese player wishes. This is achieved by adding a second Shinano to the ship
 database, as a Yamato class BB, along with the use of a compulsory house rule:
       COMPULSORY Shinano House Rule:
       The construction of at least one of the two Shinano ships MUST always be
 halted. The Japanese player is only permitted to be building ONE of the ships at any
 time. The player may halt both ships if they wish, or switch contstruction between
 the two ships at any time as long as one of them remains halted. If by some error
 BOTH Shinanos are launched, then BOTH must be scuttled immediately as soon as this is
 discovered by either player.
       In addition to this, the CV version of the Shinano has been modified as
 follows:
 
       Aircraft capacity increased to 96
       Aircraft Ordnance increased to 675
   25.
 
       The following British "group" sized air formations have been created by

       Additional supplies added to the Chinese LCUs that start in hex 52,25, since
 they do no start within range of a friendly supply source.
   31.
 
       No. 101 RAAF Base Force, which starts at Rabaul, has been converted to a RAN
 base force (No. 113), which means that it now includes 2 x 6in CD guns.
   32.
 
       The arrival date of the 2nd Marine Para Bn changed to 421109 instead of 421108.
   33.
 
       The following Allied ships have been added. All of these ships were, in real
 life, named after ships that were sunk earlier in the war. These ships were actually
 present in the Pacific during the war, but were left out of the official scenario
 databases, presumably to avoid confusion due to a clash of names. Alternative names
 for these ships are used (names courtesy of Ron Saueracker):
 
       Ship name (CHS) 	Real life name

       	Arrival Date

   50.
 
       All transport ships have had their capacities reduced further, so that they are
 now about 60% of the capacity compared to the official scenarios (in earlier
 revisions of CHS they were about 67%). The exceptions are the large US Navys of both
 the Japanese and the Allies, which are set at a capacity of 5000, so that they can
 still be converted to other ship types.
   51.
 
       Abdiel MLs (ship class 490): Wrong facing of 40mm guns fixed to (2xF,2xLS,2xRS)
 ; Mine load reduced to 2 x 78 instead of 2x156.
   52.
 
       HMS Warspite now begins the scenario in Seattle, with a small amount of SYS
 damage. HMS Warspite was in Seattle finishing repairs at the start of the Pacific
 war, and later sailed to India via Australia in early 1942.
   53.
 
       The following duplicate Japanese ships have been deleted:

   58.
 
       The Lancaster bomber has been changed to the Mk VII (FE) model, which had .50
 Browning MGs instead of .303s in the dorsal and tail turrets, and a longer range. The
 Mk VII (FE) was specifically designed for service with "Tiger Force".
   59.
 
       US air groups VMF-111 and VMF-221 upgrade paths both set to F4F-4 Wildcat

       Soviet bases have been revised, with changes to Manpower, Heavy Industry,
 Resources and Oil. In addition, some following Soviet bases, along the Manchukuo
 border, have had their fort levels increased. This border was heavily fortified by
 the Soviet Union before the war.

       Daily Oil: 300*
 
       * The Soviet Union now receives 600 daily oil: 300 at Krasnoyarsk, and 300 at
 Komsomolsk. The latter represents the oil from Okha that was piped to Komsomolsk via
 pipeline (not able to be represented). The Japanese also receive 100 Daily Oil at the
 base of Shikuka on Sakhalin, to represent the Okha oil concessions that they extraced
 up unti 1944. To take into account these changes, the size of the Okha oil field has
 been considerably reduced.
 
       Taking into account these Soviet Daily Oil supplies, there is enough oil to
 supply about 50% of the Soviet on-map Heavy Industry. The other 50% capacity is
 considered to be supplied from, and have its output shipped to, the European Soviet
 Union.
   62.
 
       Davao (43,61) has been changed from port size(SPS) of 2(2) to 4(2), and
 airfield SPS has been increased from 1 to 2. Davao was the most significant port on
 Mindanao.
   63.
 
       The bases of Sarmi (593) and Aru Island (565) have been swapped in the
 database, so that  Sarmi is now malarial and Aru Island is not. This results in all
 bases in Papua New Guinea being malarial.
   64.
 
       The following bases have been renamed:
       Seoul (59,36) -> Keijo
       Ohka (76,27) -> Okha
       Shikka (74,31) -> Shikuka
       Nagato (60,41) -> Shimonoseki
       Kitakyushu (59,41) -> Fukuoka
       Maizuru (62,41) -> Maizuru/Okayama
       Kaigan (54,27) -> Kalgan
       Luda (58,32) -> Dairen
       Lokai (114,73) -> Lanai
       Nakhodka (66,34) -> Suchan
       Imam (67,31) -> Iman
       Lingayen (43,49) -> San Fernando
       San Marcelino (43,50) -> Lingayen

If you define the P-80 as a "Jet Fighter" then earlier air groups with "Fighters" or "Fighter Bombers" can't upgrade to them. Found that out the hard way...

Are you sure about this? I ran a quick test and it seemed to work for me.

Is anyone else able to confirm this problem?

Pretty sure. I have the P-80, Kikka and J8M in my mod, and I initially defined them as Jet Fighters. They didn't appear in the upgrade path, and I had made sure to sidestep the known problem of not having a reinforcement unit scheduled to appear with each type. When I redefined them as Fighters, they dutifully appeared in the upgrade path.

Hmmmmm. In my quick test I could see the P-80s as a possible upgrade, and I upgraded to them successfully. Did you define the P-80 as an upgrade for a particular type of aircraft?

That may be significant. I made mine an upgrade to the last version of the P-47. Maybe some more testing needs to be done...

Hmmm... You know, I think I might have made it a specific upgrade in some earlier incarnation of my mod, but I can't remember. None of the three are specific upgrades now.

And I just re-checked it. All three appear as upgrades where I expect them to do.

Disable the American resource and oil centers, but set them to repair unless the allied player stops the repairs.

1 with a large subset of mods very similar to Nik's mods. "

If you get the chance, can you let us know what parts of Nik's mod have made it in?



I like making static chinese LCU in cities/bases. Makes more sense. Easy to have a house rule to keep Guerilla units in the field {except possibly to resupply}.

I like the placing Brit AA into the Base/CD forces.

I really do not have an opinion on shifting the US HQ around. My only concern is would it cause any breakage or delay release.

I suppose those of us who play AI can delete one of the Shinanos. I do not know the Japanese side, but if they have problems building ships, it might be HAVE to delete one of them.

Is there any way to tell what the Wilkes/Clemsons upgrade to? APD or DD?

The amount of work you have all put into this is amazing. And appreciated. Thank you, and I look forward to calling sick for a week and consuming vast quantities of pizza and pepsi.

32.

The arrival date of the 2nd Marine Para Bn changed to 421109 instead of 421108

May be just a mistype but I think it should be 411209 not 421109.

Thanks to all the CHS team for their hard work - really looking forward to this revised mod - hopefully by release date the v1.8 patch will be done as well (well I live in hope!).

Why change Flowers to SC? I think it deserves at least PC designation...

I read all the Allied a/c changes, but I can't tell if this fix is included.

In current CHS one of the P-47 models (I forget which one [EDIT: I looked it up - it's the 'N' model]) is named 'Thuderbolt' instead of 'Thunderbolt'.

Awesome list of changes! [&o]

You're right, it should be 1941. The bug is that with a date of 8 Dec 1941 the unit never arrives at all (I think it's a bug in the code), so they have to delay it by a day.

I suspect they've done it for the same reason that I've changed the Flowers to DE's in my mod: the Auto-Convoy system. It only accepts DD's, DE's, MSW's and SC's as escorts, but not PC's or PG's.

Perhaps to signify the corresponding sound of 8 .50s hitting its target? Thud. :)

BTW...P-47C is really an early D; and the D is the bubbletop version D-25.

Worr, out

Regarding HMAS Bataan, Tribal Class DD. She was originally named KURNAI but was renamed Bataan, in response to the US using Canberra. I think KURNAI should be used. What do you guys think?
