I wish I had seen this earlier, but is there a reason why the USN DDs have their ASW capabilities nerfed? In some cases the number of ASW weapons are reduced and
all most all cases their ammo is reduced, most times cut in half.

This is my edit:

I looked and it appears that this is what DBB did. I did not realize that DBB had done this nerfing of USN DDs.

I have never had an opponent touch on this. Do we know why DBB did this?

No Jack in RA. The Jack, George, and Sam are fully BTS.

when but in btsl i did not see the planes anywhere unless the jack and the other planes are not fighter anymore you only have the zero until like middle of 43 when you finally get the sam there are no other planes like the jack or a6m5 between 41/12 to 43/11

I do not know why, this is from the DBB website:

Ship Classes, and corresponding Ships, have had their ASW weapon suites modified; the number of ASW weapons, their arrangement, and the amount of Ammo per weapon, have been adjusted to work in tandem with specific changes to ASW weapon Devices. Submarine diving depths have been modified, using a 'special' field to work in harness with the specific changes to ASW weapon Devices and the specific ASW weapon suite modifications to Classes and Ships.


So the question is: Did who ever do the changes in the RA/BTS mods do the complete modification or just a superficial one? I take it that this was done a while ago.

Found a few more things to fix in RA
the Tenryu class CLAAs are missing ammo on some of their 25 mm guns, and the 1st Yokusuka Assault Division is missing a t in its name.

Sorry for the delay. I had not seen these Postings.

Great catch on the CLAAs. Keep looking for more. Always good to have more eyes looking.

I was looking and looking for this error then realized you are playing RA. Haven't done any work to RA since we created BTS. Now that we have BTS Mater File, I shall be going thru re-creating RA so t is totally consistent with BTSL and BTSH. Will follow that up with an update to Treaty Mod. At that point all four will follow thru in a logical, consistent manner.

Soulsilver - You maybe interested to know my empire MoD which is broadly based on this work wait what turned out to be quite a few amendments in changes to the historical context in particular, makes I different flavor of a game. I can tell you that I have been playing this RA MoD for sometime and have one game in August 1944 and it's a very very good scenario. That is why I use this as a basis for my ideas.

John, I have downloaded your scenarios 55 and 60 there are no text files or anything with them and also I cannot open them in the editor because they do not appear. I wanted to look at the new ships you have created. I wonder if I need to restart the computer

The scenario descriptions are there on the web pages. Not sure about the Editor issues. All 11 of the game files are in the folders.

Do you have a separate install? The Mods require the Extended Map.

Check the War Room for the thread where I walk people thru how to install a Mod. That might help you troubleshoot as well.

Let me know.

No worries - everything is ok now. One or two of your ships will suit adding to my version of RA ? Hope that is OK V1.2 coming soon - I am just checking for ideas/ omissions/ adds and mistakes from the Japanese side. none so far.

Maybe, possibly, it is because the devices are stockpiled? Perchance, yes?

Thank you RangerJoe, that would be the answer. I just knew it had to be something I overlooked, but I didn't see that. I am scrubbing the two posts above.
