Mr Fragg,
Are they planning on doing any work to upgrade the automatic convoys system to overcome some of the issues that have been previously raised such as plotting through enemy held territory?

For god's sake, don't do that! Take it from one who has learned the hard way, don't trust the computer to do anything by itself (even if it means that a few widows and babies in Christchurch starve to death because you forgot to provide for them for a few months).ORIGINAL: Mr.Frag
if you want the AI to run the ships better, set the area on computer control so it has full use of whats there.

This does have a dark lining to the cloud though ... you will *probably* loose the automatic upgrade ability of factories to new aircraft.

BTW, can we both upgrade and downgrade?
Also how many steps (forward and backward) can we go?

Yep & Any number
ORIGINAL: pauk
Does it mean there will be no more "free" (no additional supplies) upgrade if you just hold production and wait for
new ac in the upgrade path? (for example - halting Ki-27 and waiting for Oscar historical coming in 43-01?).
If so, i'm not quite happy about this.
I don't like this either, since Japan will now require a few millions of supply more to repair all the factories he has just to keep them going. and that is a few millions supply more than Japan has to spare...
ORIGINAL: pauk
yep, i rember arguments in your recent post, but seems there wasn't feedback in the forum.
I also worried about this, because it is easy to change this, but no one could not know the impact of milions supplies less later in the game. I've restarted two PBEM games already, and i hope i would not restart (again) my PBEM game somewhere in 1943 just because i run out of supplies.

Mr.Frag,
Some questions regarding the new aircraft upgrade (sorry if one of these has already been answered elsewhere):
(1) How will this affect the AI -- will it be "smart" enough to pick an appropriate path?
It will use the path set in the scenario files
(2) Can this be turned on or off?
Yes, at the start of the game with PBEM or anytime you want as AI
(3) Do the allies get anything like this?
Yes, the ability to adjust the makeup of their air groups, just like Japan. It doesn't help much early in the game since the Allies don't really have any air groups.
(4) What will the effect be on mod scenarios (eg, Lemurs) that include different aircraft types? Will the conversion available be based solely on the type of aircraft or the location in the database?
It is hard to explain, but basically, any aircraft that upgrades to any other aircraft and has some aircraft available makes it an allowable upgrade choice. The modders may find that they need to stick in at least 1 group with the right type of aircraft to make that aircraft allowable as a path. It might take a couple of tricks to sort things out, but it's not a major change to them. A lot of their work to modify groups to get them to go down a certain path is now unneeded (unless they want the AI to use them).

Did you get the save games I sent in, regarding the British withdraw w/o British ships available?
If so could youor anyone duplicate the problem?
If i choose "historical" upgrade (1.4 upgrade path) factories will auto-upgrade or not?
