ok, waiting for this. Please make sure you list all the changes in case I need to change things in my mod vis DB.
Then ok wish list
ITEM 1
I can tell you I still seem to have a big issue with Kamikaze 44 into 45 (despite modding a lot of other weapons like the Okha,Kaiten,etc., which I have working well). I have done a lot of work to make them more effective in the editor, but fundamentally, they should be much more difficult to detect and intercept. Please check out K tactics online, etc and in books; they attacked in small groups, spreading right out or even singles at a time to distract defenders. The chance of interception by CAP should be reduced for sure. About 1 in 5 should hit after getting through. It seems in-game that if one of their bomb hits, then they hit as well. This though was a genuine tactic as bombs were sometimes released before impact on other occasions. In the game I could mod this by giving them a unique, more accurate bomb, ( or more bombs) but its open to gamey tactics.
I also wonder if, when they carry drop tanks, these start fires or do more general damage to AA guns and so on.
I addition, wooden-framed trainers should have an even better chance as they were not radar-detected. Also K should probably be allowed night attacks if over a certain exp level.
ITEM 2
Light industry should only use say 200 supply to fix.
ITEM 3
Make bombers' MVR rating count - or does the base level apply in all situations? I am still not sure what the game is doing on bombers??
ITEM 3
Personally, I would like to see about 10 AC maintenance SR bands
ITEM 4
Allow attack arc for bombers
ITEM 5
Make only AA guns fire that can reach the target altitude. This issue is open to a lot of abuse just now.
ITEM 6
More Japanese Engine types hard-coded to 12 is silly.
ITEM 7
Have Typhoon storms as a weather effect, damaging and sinking/ damaging ships, including aircraft on CV deck parks.
ITEM 8
Reduce the effect of altitude advantage in air battles, it should be there, but I feel it's too much just now.
ITEM 9
Allow fuel to be removed from ships.
ITEM 10
Stop ships from auto-refuelling in ports
ITEM 11
Have a limit on the number of tons of ships disbanded in ports.
ITEM 12
Make PT boats more more aggressive in attacking - both sides need this.
ITEM 13
Monsoon effects on air need to be more - not sure I ever notice much at all.
they probably need to be higher on land units as well.
ITEM 14
Add air collisions with less exp more and high ex less. add night and twilight landings on CV with high attrition on low skilled pilots.
ITEM 15
Naval collisions under air attack should happen. Naval collision-avoiding sub attacks should happen.
ITEM 16
raise a catastrophic event on ship repair, it's tough, so it can happen about 3 times in the game??
Never had it happen in all the years I have been playing.
ITEM 17
Ships carrying ammunition AKE / AE should be destroyed by very modest hits and or fires.
ITEM 18
Official extended and updated standard map?
ITEM 19
Mine degradation seems a bit high TBH
ITEM 20
Side line - There are quite a few things in the DB which seem to be errors, omissions or mistakes.... I fixed many into my mod. I believe as the game evolved and was tested, odd things were changed without the other similar weapons being checked etc... weapons listed but not used. For instance almost all Japanese TT types have been put in but not used ( I have), and AC loadouts are very inaccurate, that's another discussion....
ITEM 21
Allow starting mines to be added in the editor.
ITEM 22
Allow fuel and cargo to be added to AO etc in the editor- right now its does some odd things
ITEM 23
I wish to allow all sunk ships to be listed on the map!
ITEM 24
Separate CV-trained pilots in terms of replacements - its really silly just now. CV-trained units should only be able to receive CV-trained pilots. this should be easy to introduce.
I cannot think of anything now and have to go out(beer) . I am sure there are others, and I have no idea how difficult improvements to the program are. Its good now but it could be supreme with a few more fixes.
the other items we can comment on when we see a full list and thansk for all the good work so far.
thanks.
