Bake Island (ID 607) shows up as AF, not Base. Thus, you cannot build up the port.

Tom (Mr Kane) upgraded data base to 6.2 and I still DON'T have any aircraft on CVB Midway or FDR. [X(]

My CVBs have air units assigned. Maybe you need to get the ones John used.

I just checked that as I was doing some minor tweaking and fixing things and saw the same thing. In ours they are there. Michael: Have you been tampering and hurting your own team??? Bad BOY!

John, I think ship class 280 is supposed to be New Zealand instead of British.
It is part of bind 382, but the other two classes are New Zealand and you can
not make a class 280.

Sherwood and I fixed this in our game by changing the nationality. It is now fixed in what I have been doing today with 6.3.

5800 Mobiele Eenheid Bn has as 2nd weapon 984 180kmm CD Gun. It must be Vickers Carden-Lloyd Tanks. And does not need the suffix Bn.

What device are the Carden-Lloyd Tks?

The DBB mod has an AFV device (990) called "VCL M1934" - that sounds like Vickers Carden-Loyd tanks.

China - Since China has a major supply shortage, why not fully repair the Light Industry at Chungking and some of the 144 damaged at Changsha at start??

French leaders - Can we get another leader or two to replace Gen Charles De Gaulle?? Do you have a few leaders options for the Free French Navy?? some more here please.

On 420610 Wasp arrive as Yorktown class without any upgrade. After docking at PH Wasp is upgrading to yorktown 04/42 (include shipping from Balbao complete end of june or so). In 07/42 there is the next upgrade.

I think, Wasp should have the 04/42 upgrade - or 07/42 with a delay time to end of june.

YORKTOWN-CLASS! Another piece from Perfect War...TRUK! (Sorry just got done reading The Little Ship AAR)

I found that Mizuho isn't Chiyoda-Class as she is supposed to be. PW strikes again...

Have been doing a set of fixes and will publish the new 6.4 Version on Monday.

Have had several requests for files. You will get them on Monday.

[ny59giants]

Any talks with Symon about getting his new data for aircraft from DBB into this newest version??

[John 3rd]

Hey Michael.

I am planning on it.

[Lecivius]

Cool, I'd really like to try this with Symons twinks included [;)]

John,

Is this where you wanted comments?

Also were up to 6.3? you guys are good! Can I send you my Christmas list now? LOL!

I checked with Larry to make sure - we stayed with RA42 & made it to early (Feb) 43... a combination of bad economy and damaged carriers ported at Nauru Is. that got bombed by my 4E's made LarryF throw in the towel. What else can we say but put on our fanboy hats and say more please! [&o]

[John 3rd]

THANKS! This is a where I would like your comments.

This is the RA 6.3 Change Log. I will modify this Post as I do more things.

Changes:

Japanese
1. CS Mizuho now Chitose Class as it should be in the Mod.
2. Japanese large AP Conversions (Asama/Brazil Maru Class) now allowed to convert to CVE in June 42.
3. Made sure the OLD Japanese warships are in the OOB (protected cruisers, etc...)
4. TF 13 (Japanese DDs) located at Saipan NOT a 'warp speed' TF. Ability taken away. The CVEs and other warships located at the Forward Operating Base of Combined Fleet get no movement bonus.
5. Added (they were there before but got taken out with the Perfect War template that FatR used) to Japanese OOB: 1 AR, 1 ARD, and 2 AKE as small additions to the support fleet.
6. Tweaked engine production to better reflect the needs of Dec 1941 and research of second generation Naval Aircraft (Judy--Jill--etc...)

Allied
1. CV Wasp is now back to being Wasp-Class and NOT Yorktown-Class.
2. The seven starting Training Squadrons (3 Navy/2 Marine/3 Army) are reduced from Wing to Squadron Size (Max 24 not 48). I did not know that Training Squadrons can carry THREE times the number of pilots in them!
3. Reflecting the expansion of the American Pilot Training Program, in July 1943 a matching amount of Training Squadrons are ADDED to reflect the growth of the American juggernaut.
4. The French start with no FP units for their cruisers and BBs. January 1, 1943 sees the addition of several to the OOB so their ships may be stocked. For convenience, these planes will arrive at Karachi and have to be ferried to wherever your French are at.
5. Repaired LI at Chungking and Changsha adding a total of 60 repaired LI points.
6. Castle ACM (Class 280) now NZ so it can convert without issue
7. Reduced A-24 production from 18 to 12. They are good planes but have to be careful.
8. For Soviet people, raised R-12 to produce a couple of planes a month for one year.

Note:
Symon/JWE's aircraft changes are fully implemented within the Mod.

What would be the appropriate designation for French Seagulls attached to a warship?

Instead of French-1 I'd like something historically better...

THANKS!

[John 3rd]

I'm done for the moment and have gotten everything on my list dealt with. Will go to church and dinner before checking in again. If you have any additional issues/questions sing out!

[John 3rd]

Just exchanged emails with John (Symon) and he will import his current air work into 6.3. He'll add the new Zero variants so they conform as well.

How about that??!

Thanks John.

[MrBlizzard]

Looking forward for it!
Thanks a lot John and Symon [:)]

[ny59giants]

Hopefully the change of Japanese xAK Classes Toho, Ehime, and Akasi to allow converting cargo to troop capacity. [;)]
