If you had three WitP wishes...

[pad152]

Three Wishes...

1. Better AI
2. Ability to edit the AI.
3. Unlimited slots in the database, for more ships, planes, weapons, etc.

[Zorfwaddle]

Me three.

Just like we have task forces that we can put ships in, what about "Operations" that we can put TF's, ships, Air Groups and LCU's into? You "Create Operation," give it some notes (where is it going, objective, etc) as was mentioned, and then allocate whatever TF's, LCU's etc, that you want to be involved. That way, when you take a look at any particular unit, you can see what operation it is involved in and send it in the appropriate direction. Even "cooler" would be the ability to name the operations....

Fix large scale air combat so it isn't quite so deadly.

Fix certain fighter models that are able to take on good quality pilots and 3-1+ odds and still win.

Fix the basic game map to remove ahistorical railways and roads.

[Oliver Heindorf]

1. If Airgroup is US Navy or IJ Navy NEVER CHANGE THE HQ TO ANYTHING ELSE THEN INDEPEDENT.
I hate to spent PP's only to this bug when my CV's are in harbour and take the HQ of the Base. [:@]
it should be easy to implement this in the code.

2. enable Sub vs Sub combat.

3. allied production control = japan can raise repair yard capacity to the 1000's and allies cant = weired. let the allied player take control over his factory capacity please.

[ChezDaJez]

1. Waypoints!

2. Change pilot replacement experience levels to reflect actual game conditions. For example, why should Japan's replacement pilots show decreasing experience levels through the years IF Japan maintains sufficient supply and resources in the home islands? Increase number of trained Japanese pilots to 20 IJN and 40 IJA pilots per month. As it is now, Japan can't even keep up with ops losses.

3. Reduce the number of attack aircraft that can fly a mission to 1/2 the supportable aircraft. For example: a level 4 base can support up to 200 aircraft but only 100 would be allowed on a raid. This would help reduce the number of 2E and 4E planes that can participate in a single raid. And put a CAP on CAP!

4. Ship ammo loading restrictions! Size 5 or greater port for large caliber shells.

5. Allow Allied player to determine aircraft production (within reason) similar to Japanese.

6. Reduce the amount of supply available to allied player on the west coast by 1/3 during first 3 months of the war to reflect the manufacturing and stockpiling time required.

7. Require that Japanese players keep a base force at every production center in order to produce oil/resources.

8. Allow for oil and resource production to be turned off by the player. Doesn't make sense for places like Palembang to be forced to continue to produce oil while awaiting assault.

9. Incorporate a realistic command and control structure.

Okay, so its more than 3 wishes. I got a ton more.[:(]

If I were granted 3 WitP wishes, I would wish for:

1 - Ship upgrades that didn't have to wait for system damage to go down to "3".

2 - Night Fighters that were allowed to find and bomb targets at night, instead of being clumped together with all of the other bombers (even though all bombers were used on night missions regularly during WW II)

3 - Rain occuring in patterns that were something vaguely similar to what was historically real, rather than occuring day in, day out for months on end in non-rainy areas such as California and Australia

Ability to do anything you want for Japanese aircraft, nothing predetermined.

[niceguy2005]

3 wishes.

1. waypoints
2. waypoints
3. I think it would really be nifty if the game had waypoints.[:'(]

#4 would be a note area for the TF screen. I have had this thought before. It would really be helpful for the times that I have had to alter a ships home base to account for the lack of waypoints. I could make a note to myself that read, "send back to SF, homebase altered due to lack of WAYPOINTS."

Perhaps if the Japanese player survives, automatic upgrade of all IJN fighters to F-18s.

#3...FIX THE #!$@%^!&^@* BUGS!

A agree with treespider, except, i would reverse the order!!

[anarchyintheuk]

In no particular order:

1. Ron's idea for divisions and squadrons for ships
2. Gary's idea for task force notes
3. Bat missiles, f8fs, historical usn cv/ca production

and that more time to play thing.

[madmickey]

300 wishes are more appropriate.

1) Stacking limits of ship, LCU, planes.
2) Realistic naval surface, sub combat, lands and airs combat
3) Fix the bugs including tactical AI.

Why?

I dunno, perhaps because it just turns into a bad Monty Python skit really fast...
" I play the CHS with the NIK mod 4.0"
" I play the CHS with PDU on"
"PDU's suck! Death to all PDU'ers!"
Japanese "Wall o' Zeroes" sucks; CAP the CAP!
Allied Heavy Bombers are too strong and Jap AAA is too weak!!
I want my submarines to be submerged ALL DAY so that they can't be seen by aircraft, but still be able to spot and attack things the same as now even with the vastly reduced search ability that should result

and on and on...ad nauseam

How does that differ from any other thread in forums? What should be discussed in a thread? The weather? Basketball? I could digress into politics again if that is your interest.

[Stwa]

I hope its not too late to get in my 3. [:)]


1. Have the words "Large Slow Target" removed from the South Pacific Girls pic.

2. Exit buttons, particulary on the data screens be placed somehwhere near the upper left.

3. A RATIONAL save game screen.

[:D] You are not the only one who has requested this, but I have some doubts about the forum moderators' tolerance. Maybe we should conduct a poll...
