QUERY: Does anyone have art issues with the Kitakami and/or our redesigned training cruisers showing up in the combat display when surface combat is occurring? Just really noticed I have that issue within my install. Figure it is just me but wanted to throw out the question.
I have this class show up as MIA, but its OK when I pull up any DaBabes game. I doubled checked in the Editor and everything seems OK there.
THIS is a new one. Let me check my copy and see if I have the same problem. Anyone else have this issue?
Michael brought up to my attention that Truk starts the war WAY overstacked. If not worked on immediately this leads to a severe drain on supply. Am considering pulling some troops and placing them in the Marianas to alleviate the issue.

Hmmm - I see 48k troops with a limit of 60k at Truk. Did something change?
I don't suppose I could talk you into adding FF to the possible upgrade list of Japanese FP air groups? [:)]
Also, can I ask why the Oi & Kitakami (both are CL in the stock scenarios)had their torpedo complement reduced? In the stock games both CL fire a broadside of 20 torpedoes. In RA their broadsides are reduced to 2 torpedoes. I was just wondering if that was intentional or if maybe the database for those ships has a typo (2 VS 20).

Just curious, not complaining. I just ran my Day 1 turn. Force Z was wiped, as were the cans in Hong Kong, and PH was scrubbed from the face of the earth. Is the damage up in this mod since there is more focus on naval matters?

Nothing is changed regarding damage. You allowed him to attack all these locations? Did he use only CV Air? I allow for up to 2 Port Strikes but they must be launched from Carriers.
CRations: The Oi and Kitakami are not TT Cruisers in RA. You will see that their mounts get used elsewhere. Oi, Kitakami, and two others are training cruisers in RA. The Katori-Class Training CL does not exist. It isn't built in this AltNavHist.

Ok - I was just curious.

Aye, all of KB hit Pearl. Land based air wiped out Force Z, as well as the destroyers out of Hong Kong. Manila took a beating, but nothing strange there. It's my 1st RA turn, thought I would ask [;)]
I don't know if these have surfaced before (RA 4.3), but:
Japanese land unit 3994 - 36th Field AA. Bn. is attached to 71st Air Flotilla (R)... and based in Kompong Trach at start?
Dutch land unit 5908 - Loemafjang Base Force... shouldn't it be Loemadjang, with a "d", same as the base?
Got this email and thought it might be worth Posting. Considering RA is an enhanced naval mod, I am not sure but thought it might generate some thinking and discussion:
[1] Type 2 light tank (device number 780) has it's anti-soft value mistaken. It's 4. It should be 14.
It has the same value of 4 in your RA database. IMHO should be 14.
[2] Dead end for the Japanese light tanks in all scenarios.
In old WITP both type 95/98 light tanks (devices 778/779) were upgrading with Type 2 light tank somewhere in '44.
Now in AE the link is broken. Device 779 (type 98) upgrades with device 780. BUT there's no or almost no type 98 tanks in this scenario! Device 778 stays with typ 95 tanks througout the war.
That's IMHO wrong.
IRL those type 95 tanks were being rebuild and fitted with the 57 mm tank gun becoming Type 4 Ke-Nu light tanks...
Maybe the availability of Type 98 should be changed for... say 08.42?
Like 95 --> Type 98 (08.42) --> Type 2 (6.44)
Or, better yet and as suggested, maybe a new REALType 4 Ke-Nu should be introduced (also about 100 built IRL and foreseen as a real successor of Type 98 as an upgrade for Type 95 in '44?
Trying to find some logic here... Why the Japanese player is stuck with mediocre Type 95 if he has full contingents of Type 3 tanks? (IRL equally rare as Type 4 Ke-Nu ; but now in 9'44 scenario 2 I have almost 1300 of them active).
[3] Lack of AT capability for the Japaneseside late war ...
[3a] Device no 734 (37 mm AT) is a dead end too, while 735 (almost the same 37 mm AT) upgrades with 736 (47 mm). I think in some point of time both 734 & 735 should upgrade into 736.
[3b] Talking about the experiences... Late war Allied tanks are almost immune to the Japanese anti tank guns... I thinks it's safe to assume the Army could have noticed the danger and come out with some countermeasure...
IRl there were some experimental 75mm and 105 mm Anti-Tank Guns in plans.
Again... we're talking about what if scenario. So my suggestion is to introduce a 75 mm AT gun late war (the caliber widely used and found very useful by the Japanese side) as some 75 mm AA guns were IRL used in anti-tank role or introduce the stop-gap 57 mm gun (some were used to fit into mentioned Type 4 light tanks).

Barring changes from the discussion above, I have RA 4.4 set and ready to roll.
CHANGE LIST:
1. Changed Files to 4.4 so there is no confusion.
2. Added 13 AK-t conversions to starting Japanese Forces at Truk and Saipan.
3. Truk started WAY over-stacked for Dec 7th. Changed this by moving the following units to these locations:
a. Tinian--1st and 2nd Base Force and 1st China Assault SNLF
b. Ponape--4th Base Force and 2 Nvl Con Bn
c. Eniwetok--4th Fleet HQ
Truk now starts slightly over-stacked at a little over 2,000 too many. Roughly 5,000 supply added to Tinian and Ponape that is subtracked from Truk.
4. Fixed Kitakai's notice for a Japanese AA Unit HQ and a Dutch unit's position.
5. Somehow the small CD units we added at the start of RA for the Allies got deleted. I reinstated them at Port Moresby, Cocos, and Pt. Blair. They are patterned on the CD unit starting at Rabaul.
6. Added 20,000 fuel to Babeldoap and subtracked the same amount from Hiroshima.
Like I said, nothing major just fixing little things now.
Will send 4.4 to FatR for loading onto the RA Site.
