RE: What's left for 1.9
Some AI Changes:
Japan AI - get it to invade some different places, it always invades the same places in every game. A little ramdonness would go a long way.
Allied AI - Stop the computer from sending allied carriers one at a time right pass Kwajalein, only to get sunk and stop it from sending tankers to far away strange places, like right pass the Japan coast!

RE: What's left for 1.9
Incorporate Andrew Brown's map...that would practically make it a whole new game.

RE: What's left for 1.9
Restrict the Glenn to Recon only missions (with range 4 or 5 or whatever it is) or alternately (and arbitrarily) change its range to 2 but allow search missions. A single 135 kt, 4 hour endurance plane can not search 220,000 sq miles of ocean twice in 12 hours which is what occurs now. Even a 2 hex radius is stretching it but is sorta possible if you consider the track spacing to be 40-50 miles or so (low probability of detection though). BTW I used to Coast Guard plan air searches for maritime drug smugglers using a single plane (usually) that would only cover maybe a third of the area a game Glenn can cover (twice a day).
And that was using a plane that cruised faster than a Glenn could crash if it had no wings and had 4 or more times the endurance (HU-16 Albatross or C-130).

RE: What's left for 1.9
[font="times new roman"]Spence reminded me of another option that would be great for the game as far as Air Searches. Allow the player to designate one or more sectors to search and not just the default 360` circle. Use the hex side zones (areas 1-6 buttons) but still have option 7 of a 360` search area. (i.e. like at the Battle of Midway, the US PBY’s did not look to the East of Midway.)[/font]

RE: What's left for 1.9
Assuming that the GLEN was restricted to operating within the world of Newtonian Physics, given its range and endurance it could not complete a search of a two hex (120 mi) radius around its sub even once in the course of a 12 hour pulse.

Co-prosperity sphere lovers, lets not forget that the Jap sub float planes can upgraded to Jakes or even Alfs (range 8) when in a decent enough port (namely lots of supplies).

How about being able to prioritize ship repairs?
This would be a BIG fix as far as I am concerned.
Many ships being repaired at Pearl but the ones I
need the most are NOT the next in line....

You WILL be very sorry Michael when I figure out how to upgrade my SBDs and TBDs to B-29s.

Also being able to ignore port/AF damage and still build forts would be nice as would the ability to intentionally destroy your own base.
I definitely go for this one! [:D]
So much WitP and so little time to play....

RE: What's left for 1.9
1. Fix the dam sub tranport ability it's still broken! [:@]
2.Better fog of war, reduce spotting by about 50% for all platforms(air, sea, intel, etc.). It's hard to hide even a sub in WITP!
3. Give us some way to edit the target list (locations to invade) of the AI so we can get some additional life out of the game.
3. Fix the AI for subs, so they don't all go to the same place each and every game.
4. Give the AI the ability to conduct minning ops to defend forward bases, and mine enemy foward bases and rear areas. Right now the AI only mines a port on invasion and not defence.

RE: What's left for 1.9
Fix the problem of cargo TFs leaving port before supplies fully loaded. (Is this only an allies issue? I haven't seen anything about this from IJN players.)
Add the Fairey Albacore to the data base as an upgrade between the Swordfish and Barracuda.
Add cargo capacity to the 1st Langley so it can have the ability to transport aircraft as deck cargo.

Yup, it's a Japanese problem too.

That's not a load thing, it's a ship type thing...
