My question for the designers is "Why designate battlecruisers as BC, when the US designation for the only battlecruisers the US authorized were CC-1 through CC-6.
As far as I know the only subtype for battleships were the Monitors, designated BM.
Actually I could guess at the reason, but it would have put a smile on my face to see CC's.
The Repulse is classified as a Battlecruiser in the game and has a BC designation. I forget the designations of the Alaska and Guam. I think they might be CCs.

The US designated the Alaska's as "Large Cruisers" but I call em what they were.....'battlecruisers'

My favorite "broken" pathfinding is when I send out an ASW TF and it mysteriously moves itself around unseen submarines
you get that too! This bug also happens to my transport TF's sometimes. For instance i'll give them a distination from Noumea to Brisbane, and the computer plots a course around Norfolk Island, instead of just straight across.

They were coded CB to differntiate from smaller CAs. Why th USN despised the normal BC code remains a mystery.

Because there were other ships fighting the war, OTHER THAN AMERICANS!!!

Polish classification for them is translated as "heaviest cruisers" to distinguish them from heavy cruisers.

Yep, get it all the time.
The thing is I don't want a SCTF in the hex to be followed.
I want my TF's to run the sub gauntlet!
That way I can sink more of the b@$t@rd$!!![:D][:D][:D]
