ORIGINAL: Nikademus
for now, did you have a specific question?
Yeah - what are new aircraft speed & dur values?
(not exactly specific... [:)] )
Edit: sorry if i'm sounding like i'm coming off coy. My original intention was to submit the mod for public use with a fat sized FAQ explaining the changes...all of which i havn't done yet.
OK, no prob. When you get around to it...
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger;
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage.
All fighter aircraft speeds have been adjusted based on a forumla that essentially brings their listed maximum speed closer to a median value of 350mph. What this means in as novel-less a way as I can think at this early time in the morning (with coffee mug a steam'in) is the speed differences between aircraft will be reduced the farther their listed maximum speed is from 350. So aircraft such as the P40E will hardly change at all but aircraft like the F4U-4D or Ki-27 will see substantial speed changes (Lower in the case of the Corsair...higher in the case of the Nate) Speed difference ratios are preserved between airframes but reduced so that the impact of the speed variable in the A2A forumula is less dramatic. The purpose of this exercise is to eliminate extreme situations between the aircraft with medium+ differences in max speed that produce lopsided kill ratios regardless of other variables. I have been playing with this mod for a while now and have really liked what i've seen. A side benefit has been a slightly reduced bloodiness factor as fighter aircraft wth closer speed values spar more often with no result vs the usual pulse of fire that leads to a single engined death. Speed remains one of the key variables and say pitting a Ki-27 against an F4U will still see the latter having a huge tactical advantage, all other variables being even. (Heartfelt thx extended to fellow tester Chris Rickard for coming up with this idea after oh....hundreds of email exchanges discussing the air model during our spare time between builds)
DUR change for aircraft. All aircraft in the game have had their DUR values increased by 50%
Other aircraft changes - Ki-43, A5M4 and Ki-27 have a modified gun armament added to the OOB and the Ki-43 received a 1 MVR point increase. The gun modified 7.7/12.7 units are identical to the stock OOB version save that their ACC is increased by 50%. These new weapons are identified by a (c) designation (Centerline) Purpose: To address the lopsided preformance of these aircraft in combat and balance the kill ratios better and produce more reasonable and historically plausible conclusions. The result is that, with a substantial exp gap, these outdated planes can better hold their own vs. 1st generation Allied aircraft and in the case of the Oscar, can preform competetively depending on tactical circumstances. Reduces the need for Japan players to have to "prop up" the JAAF with Zero datai's even as early as 12/41. Also tweaked the starting exp slightly for the JAAF 5th Air Division which was the spearhead for the Malayan and Burma operations.
Some other aircraft stats tweaked, mostly armor changes for the older variants and adding additional armor for some 2nd generation allied craft.

The surprise attack at the American¡¦s primary Pacific naval base, Pearl Harbor succeeded brilliantly, knocking out the US fleet and paving the way for the rest of our operations. All Central Pacific targets, including the important American base at Wake Island have been captured with minimal losses.
For the most part, Phase I of the Empire¡¦s plan to liberate the Southern Resource Area from the Western powers has proceeded smoothly, and on schedule. In Mayala, air dominance has been established by the 5th Air Division of the JAAF and daily attacks continue on Allied communication and air support centers. Imperial troops have advanced steadily and have reached the Allied bastion of Malacca where Japanese army
Commanders expect to capture in short order.
In the Philippines, Imperial troops, after a lightning seizure of the capital city of Manila have advanced on the primary defensive position at Clarke Field and are at present organizing for the final offensive operations there. Mopping up operations continue in the Southern Philippines, resistance there is expected to end shortly.
Northern Borneo is secure and is providing flank protection for our forces conducting ops in Malaya and the PI.¡¦s Imperial HQ expects to launch Phase II shortly.
The only setbacks encountered so far have been on the Burmese border. A punitive offensive expedition by Commonwealth forces violated Siamese territory and invested the border town of Rahaeng. For over a week now counterattacking Imperial forces have been held back from retaking the town as Allied forces have put up an unexpected and very stubborn resistance. However Imperial HQ is pleased to announce that, with the assistance of the JAAF, the town¡¦s defense has been broken and Imperial troops have stormed the heart of the town driving out the last of the intruders and hurling them back across the border in disorder.
While the Emperor is pleased with this repelling of enemy forces from an Allied power's soil, he is less pleased with Burma Area Army¡¦s premature launching of a general offensive into Southern Burma. 25th Army forces, in conjunction with those operating in Siam, without first consulting Imperial GHQ, marched on and have captured the important town of Moulmein where recon units had detected the Allies were building a forward defensive line to protect Burma. While Imperial HQ appreciates the aggressive nature and fighting spirit of it¡¦s commanders, it would appreciate in the future if it's subordinate commands would adhere to the overall battle plan in order to not risk a reversal of Imperial fortunes and momentum. However, given the success at Moulmein, Imperial HQ is currently re-examining it¡¦s options in Burma. .
Plans to invade Karachi continue. [:)]
No sign of enemy naval forces. Cowards. [;)]
An exception to the above has been the early appearance of Allied submarines operating along the heavily traffic¡¦d lines between our forward bases in Formosa and the Phillpines. Fortunately Imperial HQ anticipated such a move and had assigned many escorts to protect the most important convoys. Regrettably, despite these counter-measures, Combined Fleet has not been able to prevent some convoys from suffering losses nor have they been able to provide adequate escorts to all routine and priority merchant groups. Losses have been modest however and few Imperial troops have been lost thus far and Inteligence has confirmed the sinkings of at least two submarines attempting to torpedo heavily laden merchants bringing supplies to our ever-victorious forces.
Meanwhile Imperial submarines have gone over to the offensive in the Southern Resource area and have torpedoed several merchants attempting to flee the area with their ill begotton booty. Like bandits in the night , they attempt to steal the life blood of the Empire. They deserve only death¡Knot to mention, no beer. (unless it¡¦s Canadian beer)
Overall, losses have been light though early merchant sinkings have become a concern for future operations and the transporting of vital resource back to the Empire. Imperial HQ has urged Combined Fleet to take the fight to the enemy as long as he continues to intrude his bandit marauder subs so deep into Imperial territory. YANKEE GO HOME ļ
Lord Ron has been sacked as all powerful Allied deity. Apparently such rudimentary tasks as mortal coil issues have negatively affected his ability to continue as commander. Strangely, the command has been assumed by nothing less than a Kaiser! How real is that, eh?!![:D]

I'm concerned that as yet no Allied DC has been dropped (as per my definition of expended) on Japanese submarines encountered. Perhaps the durability tweak has made the Jap subs capable of diving below the detection radius of Allied sonar and depth of DCs. The tweak may have been too great but this is how we bracket targets(issues), with big corrections so we can actually get where we are going faster rather than with little girly tweaks which no tester can say does any good. Looks like Nik found a limit from which to work with regarding durability.

DC's have been dropped. They've just been missing. [;)]
I mean actually shown to be dropping, with the big spalashes showing misses. This has not happened so no DCs have been dropped. Don't forget, unless this happens, no DCs are expended. The official statement that they are dropping in the distance and missing is suspect. Time will tell...
Go Kaiser go! Kick the Japs back to when cameras were not part of the "ensemble"!

Yep, I know thats how you interpret it. We just disagree here. Until Mike tells me differently, i see msgs of DD x fails to "hit" sub and more substantially, DD x dropping 4 x Mk 6 DC msgs (but with no "splashes" in the animation) as indications of dropped DC's.
[:)]
what....no routing for me? Off with your head. (I wont use a gun because you've drunk so much booze there would probably be an explosion!) [:'(]

Cheering for the Jap would be alien for me![X(] Seriously, good luck to you both and the test/modifications.
BUT....(I can't let it go![:D])
To me, if no ammo is expended, how can the ships be said to be dropping DCs? When this explanation was given, the first thing I did was check the respective ships and none of them ever expend ammo. That's all it is, an explanation of what is happening to lessen the appearance of flaw in an already crippled ASW model. I find it really weird that even this little thing (having these ships expend ammo) was not added to 1.5 if this were indeed the case. Should have been simple enough given this is what we are told is happening.

I dont agree for the reasons i've given. Ammo is abstracted in the game. Like i said, until Mike tells me differently i'm not going to limit myself to seeing "splashes" in the animation as an indication of DC's being dropped.

Back from work trip. From next turn i'll be able to add in this AAR.
Nice surprises i got from first turn: many ships still in DEI and north Australia (with Japan CV fleet around Amboina), chinese troops (lot of them) right next to be encircled in Changsha.
In addition to this, part of english troops in Malaya defending Malacca, with Johore Bahru undefended!
I ordered chinese troops to start evacuate malacca and Changsha. and i started moving out ships from DEI trying to guess where the CV fleet would have gone (and to go elsewhere [:D]).
However, The Hammer fell just right on my second turn (i was hoping to have 2-3 turns so i could fall back to Singapore and save some shipping and get out of Changsha the chinese) giving me no time to get out of the incoming disasters.
Changsha is now encircled and my units in 1 turn (2 days) didn't have time to get out of the city. It's still uncertain if i can beat the Japs and open back Changsha.
In addition, Nikademus was prolly aware Johore Bahru was undefended since before i took the game. Cause he now landed in Johore Bahru (just after bombing it to stoneage) cutting off my units in Malacca.
Lastly, CV fleet (KB prolly given the size of the attacks) went south close to north australia (i was betting he would have gone west towards Sorebaja). Result: some DD are now sunk.
While Malaya isn't a big deal (i would have lost the troops there anyway, but maybe gained 1 more month), the Changsha battle is a bad blow. if i can't get units out of it (and i think i won't), the whole China will become Japanese.
