Allied Support Vessels

Post by Halsey »

Is this possible?

To upgrade a Commonwealth or Dutch 7000cap AK to a fleet support ship for that nationality:

1. Take the ship back to San Francisco?[X(]
2. Wait for reinforcements for that nationality?[>:]
3. Will never happen.[:@]

Here's another question then.
Can any of the other nationalities on the allied side be upgraded to support vessels, and is San Francisco the only port that can do upgrades?

Could always try and drive one back to San Fran to find out. I for one haven't gotten to that point as yet to have a good answer for you.

I haven't made it that far either. I was hoping someone had already tried, so I wouldn't have to waste my time trying![:D]

I was curious about this myself. The only thing I know for certain is that it HAS to be Osaka for Japan or San Francisco for the Americans and maybe the Allies. Considering the vast number of 7000AK vessels on the Allied side it would probably be quicker to convert one already sitting in San Fran or nearby and just dispatch it to the Commonwealth or Dutch side. I'm sure we sold them lotza ships during the war.[;)]

The Brits can`t covert any AK` s into AU`s at their Kirachi Home Port so I doubt it can happen for them in S.F.

Good try though [;)]

I just moved Empire Audacity (British 7000 AK) to San Francisco with the editor and it CAN be converted.

Thanks, good to know they can be converted , the Brits have an excess of AK`s up in Bombay & Kirachi IMO.

Long haul to S.F and back, but the RN could certainly use some AR`s and some AVD`s, not sure the AD`s, AE`s and AS`s will work with RN types.

What they really need is AO`s to support your countrertattack into Burma and Malaya in `44 - 45. Not sure any are in the ships arrivals coming into Bombay/Kirachi.

Thanks for the info Splinterhead! At least they can be converted. I was hoping that they would retain their nationality, but that will work.[;)]
