ALL MODS CVE/AP Error

Post by el cid again »

All forms of WITP have the Unyo class CVEs appearing in both AP and CVE forms
The AP should not be present in the game.

CHS:
Yawatta Maru 1465 = Taiyo
Nitta Maru: 1529 = Unyo
Kasuga Maru: 1383 = Chuyo

stock:

Yawatta Maru 1878
Nitta Maru 1640
Kasuga Maru 1451


RHS slots = CHS minus 1

Hi Cid,

Maybe it's a case of multiple ship names? For instance, there were at least two other Kasuga Marus, one at 2000 grt, another at 4000 grt, both sunk in about mid '43. There was a Yawata Maru built in '35 as a 3000t near seas cargo for Hinode KK (sunk in late '43?).

Maybe change them to AKs to avoid confusion with the liners that got converted?

Just a thought.

It's all terribly complicated...[8|]

Since the ships are listed as APs - pretty clearly they are intended to be APs and not AKs. Someone went down an AP list and didn't know they were converted.

Of course it is. Only the uninformed think anything related to Japanese culture - in any era - is not. If it isn't complicated, it isn't Japanese.

Could very well be.

I know it's a stone pain in the tuchas to crunch the data and identify the individual Japanese ships within a class of vessels, even for the pre-war fleet. Once you hit '42, what with many of the records destroyed, you might almost be reduced to naming new construction as the Rance Mohametz Maru #1-#250; not really, but I'll bet someone just got reeeeal tired.

This does appear to be a duplication. At least as far as I can tell (I am no expert).

Thanks for the information El Cid.
Information about my WitP map, and CHS, can be found on my WitP website
