Admirals Edition Naval Thread II

There have been changes to target selection.

Now, to change the subject, this is from a recent test AAR with AE:

SS KXVII launches 2 torpedoes at xAK Sakura Maru
KXVII bottoming out ....
DD Ayanami attacking submerged sub ....
DD Shikinami fails to find sub, continues to search...
PC Ch 9 attacking submerged sub ....
PC Ch 7 fails to find sub and abandons search
DD Ayanami attacking submerged sub ....
SS KXVII forced to surface!
DD Shikinami firing on surfaced sub ....
DD Ayanami firing on surfaced sub ....

Interesting...

Now what forced it to surface? Or is it just not showing each individual DC hit anymore?

Hi Joe,

How about with animations off?

With all these expanded and more detailed combat reports, does anyone have an idea how long a typical turn resolution takes now? I'm in mid '44 in my game vs the AI and one turn resolution takes about 10 minutes (I've got all the combat report screens turned on and I click on the "continue" button for combat such as air-to-air and air vs airfield/ground unit attacks).

Turn times vary a lot. And heavily depend on things like settings and level of activity, not to mention what box you run it on. I've had a "turn01" take 66 minutes with all "out of the box" settings (high message lengths, animations and reports on). But times as low as three minutes are also experienced.

You mean the turn resolution takes 66 minutes?..[X(]

Whats a typical resolution time?

I want to thank all who are involved for thier efforts.  I am a long time player against the AI and a reader of this forum for over a year.  I am really anxious to see the new game.  But, to follow up on the previous thread: each platform is different, but in rough relative terms, how long does each turn take in comparison to WITP using the same box, etc.?

[TMFoss]

Correction:  their efforts.  My fingers do the ie thing even though I know better.

Hits are shown on the combat animation but not listed individually in the combat report. Forced to surface means damage has reached a point where the sub would sink if it did not, but not a point where it could not surface and would just sink.

AE compared to WITP resolution times? I'd say for me anyway (same box) that the times are about the same. AE is processing a lot more data - but we have made offsetting performance improvements in the code.

About five minutes for a 2-day cycle.

[matt.buttsworth]

Given the huge amount of added detail about how much time does it take to make a normal or a busy turn in AE?  Percentage wise is it the same as WITP or a lot more?

Matthew Buttsworth

[DuckofTindalos]

When you say "make", do you mean entering orders? That does take a bit longer, assuming equal operational tempo, since there's more of everything.

[matt.buttsworth]

How much is a bit longer? 20% longer? 50% longer?
Thanks for the great effort.

Can subs forced to the surface fire back?

Depends on what you're doing, obviously, and which scenario we're talking about, but 20-33% longer probably isn't far off the mark.

Well by my experience, until you learn the system it will take about 300% longer. Once you get the hang of it, it takes the same amount of time per unit as WitP. But as Termmy said, there are a lot more units.
