5in rockets

Post by hexgod »


I haven't seen anything on this subject in a while. I noticed that in my version (1.4), the 5 in rockets on the later jap carriers are still showing in the ASW weapon catagory in the ship refrence list. I was wondering if this would be fixed in 1.5 or if this is "AS DESIGNED"? I am intersted in seeing exactly what the weapon does...

thanks for any info.

That thread doesn't appear to make anything clearer. In fact it doesn't seem to have anything else but conjecture and questions...

Welcome to the world of WitP. We live with conjecture, questions and rumors all the time. I sometimes think there is a FOW option for these forums and I have accidentally turned it on.

Ah this one again.....

A crate of beer for anyone who can answer the question. And this beer will be decent European stuff such as Guinness or a fine lager like Stella Artois [:'(]

no problem with Guinness or Stella at all[:D].

However, i strongly doubt that your bribe will be enough for experts . I suggest that you put on the table:

a) Pilsner (for Mogami)

b) Fosters or other Australian beer (for Nikademus you can add extra pizza)

c) readhead girl (for Mr. Frag)

BTW, Liverpool become quite a good team[:)]

Ah good points. But maybe if we ship them decent beer they'll be even moe conducive to talk? [;)]

Liverpool a good team. Hmm I don't think they're great. Certainly funny to see them do well in Champions League but fairly average in Premier league

I did a little testing of this ages ago. As far as I can remember the rockets did fire once in the course of 5 air attacks on the CV (Shinano in this case).

The thing is, you can't remove the things from the ships so why worry about it ;)
