RHS Revision 2.42 [minor sensor and command update]

[DD696]

NZ Command located in Auckland...but there is no India Command.

RIA 9th RDH Cavalry Tank Bde in Karachi has HQ of NZ Command.

US Southeast Asia Command??? Mountbatten is going to be a bit peeved!!

- CXAM (136) is surface search radar -> should be air search radar

You missed my post on the other RHS thread. Yep - I was looking at Type 13 and Type 21 and noticed that. Not sure who doesn't know CXAM is air search? But I am USN radar ET (ETR) - I know!

NZ Command located in Auckland...but there is no India Command.

Sharp you are. Yep. Their ain't. Reverted to stock on this. There is no Australia Command, no New Zealand Command. Andrew (and others) have been warning me: there is a LOT of hard code - don't do things different from stock. So I didn't. Indian units report to Southeast Asia command - just as in stock.

RIA 9th RDH Cavalry Tank Bde in Karachi has HQ of NZ Command.

Should not be. But now you mention it, never did find the thing. Not listed with other Indian units. No one gave me a slot ID - and I forgot to check. [You run the game, you put the mouse on the unit symbol and do NOT click, and you see the slot ID number and unit name!]

[DD696]

RIA 9th RDH Cavalry Tank Bde is in slot 3061

Indian units report to UK India Command...of which there is not.

Dont like to be picky... can I ask on 7/12/41 the Jap Ai lands at alll historical landing points...4 in luzon and Battan Island...

However on the 8/12/41... only the landing at Apari continues what happens to the other 3 ....fleets seem to head home without contining to land..... have tried this 4 times and every time the same occurs.... is it screwy AI as usual or just me!!!!

It is the most stupid excuse for AI in history (pun intended). And it is Batan Island - sorry I am Balikbayan and I speak Tagalog. Anyway, never fear, AI vs AI will never fail to take Luzon - because every unit not a coast unit or airplane runs for Bataan (the other Batan)! [And - since no one in UK or US gets this right who is not a Tagalog speaker - the place Mac retreated to is Baah tah an - and the island is Bat an] The AI wanted to land the wrong units too - 48 Div and 65 Brigade were reversed - at least I have them landing in the right places! But they mostly don't do anything - offensives are run by tank regiments and support units - even lone arty units! This is where I came in - the most stupid excuse for AI ever...

[el cid again]

- JAAF Construction Bns(1419, 1421, 1422) do have infantry squads in the same slot where formation 919 (IJA Bridge Construction Bn) that they point to has engineer squads. Other JAAF Contruction Bns (1420, 1423, 1424) have engineer squads.
- 8th JAAF Construction Bn (1422) has 34 HMGs -> should have 2
- IJN Construction Bns(1094 - 1098) do have IJA! infantry squads in the same slot where formation 948 (IJN Construction Bn) that they point to has SNLF squads.
- some japanese BB airgroups have less maximum capacity then the respective BB has, but the same number of aircrafts:

airgroups on Yamashiro, Nagato, Mutsu and Ise have 2 aircraft, maximum capacity of 1 and BBs have capacity of 2

airgroup on Kongo has 3 aircraft, maximum capacity of 2 and Kongo has capacity of 3

- CL Tama has an airgroup with one airplane, but capacity of 0

Sometime you must tell me about your data microscope...

thanks

There will be a 2.42 because of a few things needed for BBO - so I will fold these in

[DD696]

Also, if the New Zealand Command is back in play then the New Zealand troops should have it as their HQ rather than ANZAC.

[el cid again]

- formation IJA Tank Regiment (939) has Ho-Ni IV tanks -> should be Ho-Ni II that later upgrades to Ho-Ni IV

Quite right. Lots of times one record slips occur. Some of these are human - I know. But I swear sometimes we get help from the editor.

I just caught it at San Diego: you can copy the record - but 100% of the time it writes false numbers for supplies and fuel!!!!! Gotcha. It IS a busted editor.

Also, if the New Zealand Command is back in play then the New Zealand troops should have it as their HQ rather than ANZAC.

Australia Command and New Zealand Command are NOT in play. They are represented by ANZAC Command in stock. Neither is India Command.

Turns out there is an India Command - and it is in play.

[el cid again]

Seems I was wrong about India Command: There IS one in both RHS and CHS - and I have reviewed who reports to whom?

Also some IJN battleship air groups needed a different max size.
That isn't terribly critical - if they attrit they just do not build back up.

And many base forces had sensor issues - the sensors were in the wrong place or might be replaced when the unit updates. Fixed.

Just a quick comment: I may have missed this in all the discussion leading up to the release, but a quick look with the editor at the smaller cargo capacities makes it appear that very few ships (mainly British from what I saw) can now upgrade to AR, MLE, etc. Not being able to convert to these tenders will impact the game significantly in my humble opinion. Is there a workaround for this or are these conversions no longer possible?

[DD696]

Second question: In CHS1.6 and current RHS, there are numerous ship in the database which have a starting location of zero equating to "delayed" in the port location. I have never seen any of these ships appear in CHS1.6 and have to assume that these ships is RHS will never appear also. If they never appear in the game, is there any purpose in their being in the database? Or are they viable ships that have just never had a starting location assigned and therefore are in error and should have a starting location assigned? If they are never meant to be in play then removing them would free up a considerable number of slots.

For example, look at ships in RVSCVO 2.42 and CHS 1.6 slots 9747-9898. More exist elsewhere in the database, primarily AP's.

El Cid: (RHSCVO 2.42)

Regarding New Zealand Command and your statement that it is "not in play". If it is not in play then what is represented in slot 130, labeled "New Zealand Command" (as an HQ unit), and it does appear in the game on 12/7 in Auckland, New Zealand reporting to ANZAC? Do not be so hasty, sir, to dismiss what others find to be there. Check your editor, or fire up the game yourself and take a look in Auckland. If it is "not in play", then why does it exist in the scenerio?

[Sardaukar]

In CHS NZ Command and it's slot was used to make Indian Command and make it restricted command. Donno if the case is same here.

[DD696]

That's right about CHS....been playing that version since it arrived on the scene. However, with RHS (and I am assuming also in the to-be-released version of CHS (off of which RHS uses as a foundation)), there is a UK India Command (slot 215) as well as the New Zealand Command (slot 130), so in RHS New Zealand Command in back in play as well as a brand new UK India Command.

[Sardaukar]

Hmmm...I thought that number of Commands were limited by available hardcoded slots... Maybe it's just leftover. But have to wait el cid to tell how it is.
