Er so does this mean the Japanese AI will be building two Shinano's? Wont this be hamper on the Japanese AI's shipbuilding industry? Most people halt the one Shinano...

Yes, and for that reason I will probably also make a Japanese AI version of the mod, with the second "Shinano" removed.

Is there going to be a non respawn version of this scenario?

"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. "

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

Regarding the Nik-mod like changes. I will leave the individual aircraft ratings alone as they are already different from stock. I will also most likely not do the AA altitude mods. I will do the aircraft durability increases to try to make A2A combat less bloody.

I am also considering reducing the accuracy of ALL air-to-ground weapons.

If you reduce ac bombing effectiveness.
Players will make more strategic naval bombardments.[;)]

Reducing the accuracy of air to surface ship weapons might be in order too. Air launched torpedoes are wire guided at the moment in my opinion. I tested this in an earlier trial mod and had an OK feel...not exactly sure if it did much but I felt it did![:)] I also reduced the accuracy of ship and PT launched torps so that the most accurate were in descending order..., sub, air, ship, PT launched.

Actually, bombing effectiveness, at least for the Allies, is already considerably reduced in CHS due to reduced bomb loads. I would have to reverse this as part of the overall device changes.

That would be included in my mods, and is in fact the driving force for them.

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

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 and SC's as escorts, but not PC's or PG's.

Correct.

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'.

Yes, I fixed that. Thanks.

We are part of the way there already with the inclusion of the missing DDs, DEs, SSs. I'm not so handy with the editor compared to you guys. The only changes necessary are the CLs, CAs and CVs and appropriate airgroups, all info for which has been supplied except the airgroups. But, if you guys send me a copy of the CHS now in the works, I'll add the necessary ships/change the names etc and let you guys see if I applied the data correctly.

May I make a suggestion? To make the AI more competitive, either

delete the Shinano altogether,

OR

make the Shinano something like 2/3 or 3/4 completed at scenaio start (or way more completed than it starts now).

Would upping Japanese Shipyard capacity help the Japanese AI? Would upping Japanese Repair yards help? Would these break something else?

PC cannot be used by auto convoys? My PCs escorting these didn't even noticed they can't.

[Omat]

Hallo

I have a question about CHS. Is thir a plan to include the "Kyushu Q1W Tokai" (Q1W1 - Q1W2)?

We're talking the Auto Convoy system here, not CS convoys. I can guarantee you that PC's can't be used by the system.

[Monter_Trismegistos]

I just checked... you were right...

Have you guys thought about including Fremen's great new ship art in the new CHS version? [:)]

I think that would be great but I believe he has to standardize the scale so that various class distinctions are maintained relative to size.

I'm working on a "scaled" version of my ships to CHS purposes. But the progress is now slow, so many work on stock..
