Hi Montrose,

The Beaufighter was a Torp bomber in UV and was changed to a Fighterbomber after many posts from various players showed that it was ahistorical to have the Beaufighter as a torpbomber the Mk's used in the CBI / Pacific did not carry torpedoes and that historically the beaufighter was and should be a Fighterbomber/Maritime strike fighter with out the capability to use torpedoes. However, you could allways use the editor and add torpedoes to the loadout.

cheers

Many thanks for the info Iron Duke, it makes sense. FWIW I wasn't bothered about them using torpedoes per se, but wanted to stop them being used as fighters by the AI because they are useless and are getting slaughtered. Perhaps they could be classed as level bombers instead.
I spend my time building castles in the air, but in the end all of them, and I, blow away in the wind.

Hi Halsey,

Nacka where I live is just outside the capital, Stockholm, so Malmo is around 650 km (400 miles) from here.
Don't go there very often since we used to fly if we go south but who knows....
Have you ever been to visit them?

Hi,
one more wish, new created AV's (from big AK's) should have an air group on board (yes I know in the japanese case it's a 1 plane air group, but it is an air group)

Not all AV have native aircraft attached, many only provide support to land based patrol groups that is what you are building from the AK's

Greetings BPRE,

My sister has gone to visit them, they went sailboating on the Baltic. I'm going to go visit them when I retire in a few years. My great grandfather was a turn of the century immigrant. He died during the 1912 flu epidemic, just like a lot of others.

Good to hear from a fellow Swede!
Enjoy the game and good luck to you![8D]

Sorry that this post is off topic. I would have a hard time sleeping tonight if I knew it offended anyone.[:D]

Halsey,

You're welcome. I'm not into sailing myself but where I live we have all the islands outside the coast. Around the Malmo area there aren't that many islands but Denmark is close and Poland and Germany are not too far away either.

As far as the game is concerned I started to play SSIs USN in the mid-70s, had a short spell with Victory Games Pacific War in 87 and found GGs computer game Pacific War a few years later. I've been waiting for WitP the last 5 years (UV was a nice appetizer) and I'm very lucky to have an understanding wife. I will enjoy it enormously.

Good luck and see you (perhaps)
BPRE
