The time for these inputs passed long ago, and the suggestions made up to that time were dealt with to make the Beta that is currently in testing. Matrix is not going to keep updating the game - they made it clear that it was the last patch they would do. (see the first few posts of this thread).

However, players are free to do their own mods and make changes to their own databases. This is best done in the Modding section of this game forum. A thread for details that could be changed could collect all these suggestions and players that wanted to incorporate them could do so.

Thank you BBfanboy for your post. You're very much correct. Obviously some people don't read the previous posts....GP

I have read, i find it might be a better place to incentive modding here.

Even though it is too late now I appreciate the efforts maybe you can make a mod and put these all together for everyone after the patch is released?

British Type 281 AS radar range still didn't get fixed I see. That sucks.

The latest beta did away with the new off-map bases in Egypt, the United States and elsewhere. Apparently the feedback from a majority of players was that they added a lot of additional mouse-clicking to enter reinforcements without offering much of value in return.

Database error?

I am in a game now in December '42. I just noticed that the American DE William C. Cole is in one of my fleets, but I don't think this ship is actually available till mid- to late '43.

I wish i had time. I am just posting what i am finding in a PBEM i am playing, sometimes i read on what units in play did IRL

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USCGC_Jackson do not seem to have been in Pacific. Caveats it is wiki and/or the OOB developers might have to do an OOB management (xample create a compound ship that represents lots of many other ships that are a short time in pacific)

Unsure IJAAF Bn have an heavier radar than IJAAF Base Forces, Base Forces being in up in the chain of command might meant take the heavier radar, or not. Might be i deployed in advanced positions so makes sense to be included in mere IJAAF bn.

There are mods that include more of the smaller vessels in the game. There is a website for those modes.

This may be the place for some of those, but there is art packages there:

Yeah this is why I kept encouraging people to play the beta while we still had time to make changes but most were discouraging it and refused to play it until it was finalized and released because they thought there might be bugs. Unfortunately this is not helpful to making the best final product possible because time has now run out to make anymore changes...

Most of the issues people have are easy to correct with Scenario Editor.

Important is to get code sorted out and correct. Rest can be left for modders.

Individual ships and units can be easily corrected afterwards. It's historical game, not perfection of history.

Quite right Sardaukar. Also, once the final version is actually done and out there will be plenty of activity to provide mods to take care of the annoying stuff that can be fixed easily. I am not worried at all, besides we didn't have to pay for it with anything but time.

The maps can also be modified and/or corrected later as well.

It has been solid game for a while.

Just in need of bit code-smoothing and then we can all got into modding.

Game has great spectrum of ability to accommodate various alternative starts and interpretations of history. AI scripts are more painful (kudos to andymac) but I bet there will be more enterprising individuals.

I just hope we reach 1 million posts soon, it's be Matrix Games record. :D 8-)

Started Allied campaign with 1128 against AI.

I must say that AI is more meticulous in this version. Good game so far (start of March now).

Sorry if I'm asking this question in the wrong thread but I have a PBEM game going on now 906 turns and we haven't had the guts to apply the lates patches incase something goes wrong.

I now however have to do a hardware refresh and I need to reinstall AE on a new PC.

I try to apply the correct update from for eg ftp.matrixgames.com but I think we are playing on a update that's no longer publicly availalbe? If I try to load the file I get "Saved under 1.8.11.26b. different version continue?"

At https://ftp.matrixgames.com/pub/WarInTh ... lsEdition/ there is no such version and doing some searching I found this:

https://ftp.matrixgames.com/pub/WarInTh ... atsNew.pdf

"V1.01.26– 17 September 2016 (Game version shown as 1.8.11.26b)"

Any clue where I can find this file or advice on what to do so we don't end up in some problem with this.. ?
