6th Indian Division shows up at Abadan as an emergency reinforcement. Hex 41,2....GP

My apologies Hans. There are 5 names and no bases to go with them. This may be a job for chemkid....GP

Gotcha![:D]

The fresh install is exactly what I did to a new FP2 folder as a test to see if it might be something that was fixed.

Can you look into where the 6th Indian Division is entering as a reinforcement?

I can attach a save game tomorrow if it will help.

The 6th Indian Division entering off-map was a bug that I believe was fixed a few versions ago.

I'll take a look at the Indian bases.

Are you talking about Quetta, Fort Sandeman, Jacobabao, Kohat and Peshawar? I don't think those bases exist in stock, either. I can certainly add bases to those hexes.

Yeah, north edge of India. Also the 6 6th Indian Division is an emergency reinforcement that, according to the editor, should be at Abadan. I checked it about 2 hours ago....GP

This speaks to the cobbled together nature of Focus Pacific. The issue with those bases is that the starting data point for Focus Pacific was Ironman, not an extended map scenario, but Focus Pacific uses the extended map. That's why they were never in present in Focus Pacific. Good catch Hans. Adding those bases is an easy fix that will be in the next patch.

This may be fixed already but the last upgrade of the King's Mountain (slot 975) Wpn slot 7 is set to 1504 7.5"Bl Mk VI instead of a 1540 20mm AA.
Thanks Daryl

Good catch, fixed in the editor.

Para, The repair shipyard has disappeared from Perth....GP

Several small base forces at American held atolls withdraw in mid '42.

Caught me by surprise leaving me with no aviation support for my PBYs.

Can't recall them withdrawing in stock.

Is this WAD or an oversight.

The Americans don't really have any good substitutes as most of their base forces are too large for the atolls so it means sustaining the PBYs with AVs, AVPs or AVDs.

Hans, if you play with ground unit withdrawal on, the units that go bye bye in stock will do the same thing here. Usually para and I have played with that setting off. You are talking about Xmas, canton and Palmyra islands right? If so, that's the answer....GP

Yep, those are the ones, but I don't recall them ever withdrawing in stock.

That's what prompted me to ask if it was scenario specific.

Focus Pacific should always be played with unit withdrawal off. I did not change the withdrawal dates on any LCUs, so their withdrawal date is either from stock or an artifact from the Ironman scenario.

April 42, if I remember correctly....GP

Para, Found another one;

Air unit ID, 3616 has B-29's and shows up in the 1st quarter of 42. I think it's an upgrade issue....BTD

Hi

Having a look through your mod - fantastic work by the way - and have a few comments (though i am no expert so might just have missed stuff or be repeating what others have already said)

1) i couldn't see these any TFs for these ships ==> *The Dutch now have dedicated ASW patrols at Pelembang, Batavia and Soerejaba

2) probably not doable but any chance the soviet units colors could be more of a contrast to the jap units?

3) Victorias ship yard is 52 on the map but 53 in the patch notes

4) i couldn't see any YAK 1 on map - so assume they are just replacements you can swap in?

5) Should Shikuka have some sort of garrison?


thanks

Also

I see the A6M5b/c have been taken out of the stock DBB upgrade path and now upgrade from the Sen Baku - however they both have upgrade dates of 44/1 (why the same?) which is before the Sen Baku at 44/2 - is this intentional?

Para,
402nd BG, has Eastern US as its HQ. Should be V US Bomber Command. One of the squadrons ID's is 4430 to help locate the whole group. Also the group should start at 8 aircraft and upgrade to 12 in 8/42. At this time, short of looking at the last year of the war, I think we are just about there....GP

more upgrade questions

may be as intended but just in case.....

ki84a (44/5) > ki64 (45/3) (not the ki84b?)

ki64 (45/3) > ki84b (45/3) (should there be any upgrade from ki64?)

ki93-Ia (45/8) > ki94-II (46/2) (not the ki93-Ib?)

ki102a Tracker reports the upgrade as "fault"

and on production factories..

ki94 (2/46) has 15 out of 15 fully built factories - i don't know the math but does this mean it will be available a lot earlier?

ki100-II (8/45) has 15 out of 15 fully built factories - i don't know the math but does this mean it will be available a lot earlier?

Para, Here's another one. The upgrade paths for the British, NZ and Aussie Swordfish II needs to be made more consistant. I keep finding some errors with the upgrade paths, so this is what I propose;

Swordfish II >>> Avenger I 42/08 >>> Avenger II 43/08 >>> Avenger III 44/08.

And of course we have sanderz upgrade stuff above that needs going over. I haven't heard from Shark7 yet. I'll PM in a bit....GP

More comments


1) PLANE UPGRADES

I haven't looked at all the upgrades but these look like giving a LOT of scope for accelerating models. Having said that i am thinking in PDU ON terms.

Its a mod so may all be as intended, but heres my thoughts.

Having the SAM upgrading from the A6M8 is likely to be greatly abused to get the SAM very very early early

Same thing with the Kate > Jill > Grace upgrades

and maybe for Val > Judy as well

and Nell > Francis

and definitely Oscar to Frank/r

and maybe if you want jets early then ki45KAib Nick > Ki201 Karyu

and maybe the Sonia > Ki93 Ib

Ki36 > Ki67 Ib Peggy (why not the Ia?) also seems rushable


2) TRANSPORTS/ TANKERS etc
Your mod description goes into a lot of detail about the military ships - am curious if you made changes/additions to the transport fleets as there are a lot of extra resources to move around
