Can you find out the cargo requirements for these devices and also the manufacturing requirements ... obviously we need to add some factories with R&D that players can mess with to get it right [;)]

very true....we wouldn't want to be swimming in suits like we are supply.....

Now, what happens if the pilot is wounded? Does the suit go into the hospital with him, and then does it come back repaired?? Or, is he "stripped" of his suit by those naughty, naughty nurses...[:'(]

Inquiring minds want to know!!!

I will have you all know that Rob has yet to lose a CV in our game. Date is now Jan 7 42 and he still has them all. Of course he is hiding them somewhere, but hey, it is a vast improvement. LOL

Found this little tidbit the other day ... makes for an interesting read ... we tend to concentrate a lot on the machines and ignore the men behind them ...

http://www.inventionandtechnology.com/x ... feat_0.xml


So, according to the article, kill rates double for g-suited Allied pilots (while the IJN and IJA didn't have them). So, when can we expect the "G-suit/M-maneuver" bonus for the Allies to show up in WITP??[:'(][:D]

Unfortunately, there is only one device slot in the data base for G-Suits (3789) - and it's hard coded only for Navy Pilots. It can't be changed - or you screw up the whole game. sigh[:D]

Now you do realize that the suits wouldn't be available unless the Allies had a port open in China or the burma road open....Oh you didn't read the tag inside the collar...."Made in China"

Its not a bug its spoilage, it was introduced in the last patch. If you do not assign the suit to a pilot there is a random chance modified by the inspiration of the local Quartermaster Sargetn that it will disapear.

what if the suits start disapearing? is it a bug or is it a logistical creativity clause built into the game to represent motivated squadron ordinance clerks......?

As I would not like my suits disappearing I would have to call it a bug. Creativity should only be used to justify aspects of the game which I like.

I hope that clears up your confusion. Now please get back to work on that sinking US CV bug.

Then you have to pass 8 different checks to be able to use them...

See, he did the smart thing ... learned every possible way there was to loose a CV early on ... now you'll never get him cause he knows all the tricks [:D]

bah.....my opponent and Tokyo Rose conspired to hide the fact that i sank one of his precious CV's. Such a brilliant victory. such a shame i had to get possesssed by Rroberson at such an inconvenient time. I'm sure Admiral King will accept that explanation.
