are you using WiTp....... 1.10
1.20
1.21

I use WiTp 1.21
(but I never reinitialized after patching : I play the same campaign since the beginning, only upgrading the game as soon as the patches are released...)

If you started this campaign using 1.0, you may have a corrupted game going. That could account for the "blackhole".

Thats what i'm worried about.......upgrading during the middle of a campaign can cause this error.....I am currently in a pbem game and we upgraded from 1.10 to 1.21! I have informed my partner to lookout for this problem and i'm hoping we won't need to restart!

I am afraid you could be right...
I thought that it was possible to upgrade without restarting.... Playing a several year games (4 x 365 turns ? more ?) is somewhat difficult... If we have to restrat every 3 monthes, I don't see when a complete campaign could be finished !
Really, I hope I will not have to restart, or I'll really be worried...

This game does not have a learning curve. It has a learning cliff.

Any bugs I report are always straight stock games.

Fair enough, sorry, I aint got a clue how to help or what is going on, does smell bug though, give you that.
Big thread isnt it
There is going to be a lot of screaming when we all get that far if it is a game wide problem.

Pity, just as I thought Japan was toast too.

It's a mystery. Hopefully it's only a corrupt file and not something that will effect too many other games. Also, the Betties upgraded fine about the same time so it is only limited to Zekes and Zeros so far.

Pilots come into the game with some level of experience. If you are Japan, the level gets lower as the game goes by. If you are the Allies, it is the opposite. Pilots gain experience from performing missions and can also train if there is nothing else to do.

You can accelarate or stop the production of ships. You can't add any new types of ships not already in the list however.

Well are you sure your zeroes are not all sucked up by Claudes upgrading to Zeroe?

Hello Mogami,

Here is my Intel Screen. Japan vs AI, Very hard, 17th July 43, version 1.4
No industrials problems ! [8D]

I am producing about 200 A6M2 / month and I am still unable to accumulate more
than 12-15 A6M2 in my replacement pool, even with all replacements set on No [:@].
I hope this problem will be solved when my production will switch to A6M5
(only 14 days to wait : 1 gained only one month with massive R&D [:(] ).
