x.41 - which will upload in about plus 6 hours - will incorporate this art release

do NOT use x.41 WITHOUT these art - as a call to them will cause a crash if these panels are absent

RHS v6.41 now Posted at Send Space now avail at web site also

changes
This is 6.41 modified for various technical issues and OB corrections from a number of sources

and the conversion of EOS to using a variation of the unimplemented plan to invade (vice raid) Hawaii.

The first AI vs AI test indicates that a direct approach from the expected vector is a great way to insure the carriers meet and fight a battle (always resulting in the loss of the US carriers)

but also that the AI is not up to taking any of the Hawaiian island proper (except perhaps Molokai). It creates a wholly different and interesting situation. Human players should be able to take Hawaii - and human players vs AI as Japan will be able to feel "we beat off a big attack." Johnston Island and Midway should be taken as preliminarys in the normal game - leading to a Central Pacific Campaign rather earlier than usual. And humans commanding the Allies are not required to be stupid and close the Kiddo Butai - or its baby sister - with their carriers.

Another major change is the reworking of ROCAF - and working in of some ROCAF art and aircraft names. Types only used by ROC are now given that prefix (ROC I-16 for example). In Levels 5 and 6 ROC Hawks have their own art.

Level x.41 incorporates things learned for Level 7 - mainly OB related - so implementing Level 7 will NOT affecte 5 and 5 directly.

RHS v5.41 and v6.41 PWHEX set with instructions on use posted at Send Space
also avail at RHS Web Site

changes
This series of pwhex files is intended for use with RHS Level 6 secnarios.

pwhex is the file you normally use and start with

PANPW64 is the file you rename pwhex IF the Panama Canal is ever broken - and otherwise you never use it. It is identical except for one hex side - between Colon and Panama City - with the regular file.

RHSPW64 is the file you rename pwhex IF you ever need to "fix" the Panama Canal AFTER you "busted" it - and it is in fact pwhex in its standard RHS form - renamed so you don't lose it if you do the "break the canal" trick.

These files fix a couple of discrepencies between map art and pwhex where Russian rail lines cross the borders of Manchukuo - and near Kan Hsien in China.

They also fix a mismatched hex side pair near Pyongyang, Korea.

The same remarks apply as to 6.41

EXCEPT that Level 5 RHS pwhex IS compatable with CHS map art.

That is, one may mix and match CHS extended map art, any Level 5 RHS map art, and CHS/RHS pwhex files - as one prefers. The advantage of RHS pwhex files is certain changes in river movement and ferries. One who hates those might prefer the CHS pwhex file instead.
Or - if one likes those - one might prefer RHS pwhex with CHS maps. Or one might want to break the Panama Canal - and restore it - in which case one can do that in CHS with the RHS pwhex files.

We have completed Level 5 pwhex files to the same standard as 6. However, the set does not include a file actually called pwhex (since 6 is the present default case). IF you are playing level 5, RENAME RHSPW54.dat as pwhex.dat
and put it in the top level WITP folder.

Note that RHS Level 5 pwhex files ARE compatable with CHS extended maps. IF you like Andrew's maps, but you want to be able to use the Panama Canal, more rivers, ferries between islands, etc - you might want to use the RHS pwhex files. If you don't want the Panama Canal open (and in CHS it is not) - use PANPW54 instead of RHSPW54.

unofficial RHS EOS v5.41 and V6.41 test files posted at Send Space

deleted new micro update posted

Cobra aus

[CobraAus]

RHS v6.42 & v5.42 Cam files posted at Send Space

reason
Seems the Russians are active in the Russian passive scenarios

since the cam files are not part of the data review process

these can be updated to x.42 level (and used with x.41)

If you want the Russians passive use these files for Level 5 or Level 6
CVO and/or RPO..

unofficial RHS v6.412 & v5.412 EOS files posted at send space for testing

reason
These three files are used mainly to change the Lexington and Saratoga over
to a new format - along with their associated air groups:


Class aircraft capacity is now 81 vice 72:

VF now has a max of 18 (vice 19) - and historical starting size
VB and VS are combined with max size of 36 (vice 38) - and historical starting size
VT now has a max size of 12 (vice 15) and historical starting size of 12

VMSB-231 and VMF-221 have a max size of 15 (and start at 15).

These latter units may detach. IF they detach, ANY carrier capable squadron can be added to Lex or Sara (because even if they are 18 or 19 it won't overload the ship). If units from CVEs are used, they will also be carrier qualified and suffer no operational penalties. These two ships thus represent a different capability for USN - the ability to ferry a carrier capable squadron - or operate one - in addition to the regular air group. Alternatively, a NON-carrier squadron can be embarked - there is room - but it won't operate at sea.

This is to generate comments and it is just as unofficial as x.41 was. It is called x.42 and it ONLY applies to EOS scenarios at this point.

I do plan to add it to all scenarios - unless it is grossly unpopular - in which case we will put the Marines ashore.

I have found 2x  89th Ind Chutai with Ki15-Babs  All are in China, the Nanchang unit is in China Exp Army and Chengting unit is in Southern Area Army. It's okay or a mistake?

Btw the Southern Area Army has many units all around are that supposed to be that way? Same with Saipan Fortress a static unit in Southeast Fleet command but in a 4th Fleet Island. 

Post Edit: Another Btw... any reason all cities around Tientsing are classed Central China instead of North China?

Post Edit2: There are 2x F3 Tainan Chutai - It's missing the F2

[Dili]

More Issues:
 
Kageros, Shimakze and Yugumos have 5"/40 Tp89 DP gun. That is wrong.  5"/50 3YT is the right one. Dunno how that mistake could have slipped.
 
There are 2 CA Tone in update list. CA Tone have 1 gun per 25mm mount. In reality they had double mounts.
 
PC Lepanto has only 4 amno for central 25mm and 84 for rear 25mm.

I think CobraAus wants this thread just for his posting announcements and questions. Try posting this stuff in the RHS release thread (the one that talks about version numbers). That's where you can be pretty sure Sid will pick it up.

[Dili]

Ok. Sorry. I will do that.

Post edit: Btw where is that thread. Tried to find it and came up with nothing.

RHS v5.5 & v6.5 all scenarios except EOS posted at Send Space - will be avail from RHS web site shortly

changes
This is a MAJOR revision of Allied ships

and a rework/enhancement of the new radar system.

Players now can tell the type of search radar by the designation due to a suffex note:

EW = Early Warning (only land based)
AS = Air Search (relative to era - early US AS and Japanese AS have less range
than later Allied "short range" AS does)
SRAS = Short Range Air Search
SS = Surface Search

Also converted Indian Chindit Brigades to include British and/or Ghurkha squads - and added one brigade. This a response to a Forum posting.

Also removed R-12/Yak-4 in favor of the Su-2. While the former is a recon plane, the latter is a recon bomber - so it is classed as a bomber - but units upgrade to recon planes OR bombers - and if set on automatic always stay recon units. This was a response to a Forum posting.

Other minor feedback incorporated.

The radar rework due to Forum requests - but it turned out to involve a lot of work.

Hi been away for a while, love the work CID has done with RHS, but can you tell me whats the difference in 5.5 and 6.5....why the differnet versions??

Ta Drew

[TulliusDetritus]

Drew Black, 5.x and 6.x use different maps. The fomer is compatible with CHS or something like that. The latter is not => only for RHS scenarios.
