BTS Play-Testing

[John 3rd]

Got to go to work. Back in 6-7 hours.

[btd64]

John, Here the screen shot that you requested....GP

[John 3rd]

Thanks. How many turns has it been hung up?

[btd64]

Was due on the 9th or 10th. So 10 days hung up. As of the image. Hey had a strange thing happen 2 turns ago. All of the air art was missing. Just for one turn. Everything is good now....GP

[btd64]

Oh, as an experiment I set the CL to accelerate....GP

[Nomad]

Just wondering Brian, your Naval Shipyards are producing 1595 points but the estimate is 3762. Maybe when it gets to Teshio there are not enough NS points available.

[btd64]

I just increased nav shipyards this turn. I'll wait and see....GP

Brian - Halt ALL your sub building that you can. That should quickly give you a boost in available points. Don't forget that those points are used first for the lowest ID of ships. So, CVs and then BBs will gobble up the points before it gets to CLs. Once you start getting some surplus built up, turn on those that are closest to completion. FYI - three subs use up the same number of points as a heavy CV. [X(]

This is what I do, and I have had no need to increase naval shipyards. That allows for REPAIR shipyards to be built up.

I shut off subs last turn. It was a hunch on my part. But it is good to get some positive input on this. I'll post next turn(Tomorrow) what it looks like....GP

[btd64]

So this turn I turned off some late war ships and I'm doing better. But should I turn off the BB's for now?....GP

[btd64]

My late CL has arrived. Adjusting the construction of the ships in the queue did the job. You learn something new every day....GP

[John 3rd]

It is going to be a massive juggle getting everything produced. Michael and I found out about this earlier and that is why we placed the 2nd pair of either Yamato or Owari's into the building cue. They suck up points and force the Japanese player to CHOOSE what they want to do. I like that option a lot.

Will begin this update when I come home from work this afternoon. Am thinking about placing a production line of Claude, Mabel, and Susie in the 'at start' Japanese production. Since we will have more of these planes still being used, it seems to make sense to me. Thoughts on that?

Good! Was concerned about that...

No, nope, never, zilch, etc.....
Don't need them as production of other airframes will steadily place these three types back in the pool as they are upgraded.

Agree with Michael, you already have 200+ Claudes in the pool, how many more do you need of obsolete aircraft?

Those aircraft are being replaced so I would also say not necessary/No....GP
