I've seen some weirdness too, when trying to add German guns to the Devices list. It didn't accept them in slots 530-536, where I'd initially put them. Or more correctly it accepted them, but when I tried to put them on a ship, Slot 530 apparently pointed to slot 80-something. I had to put them much higher up the list.

According to the manual, you're not allowed to modify slots 236-256, so that's probably why your German engines aren't showing up.

BTW, when are we going to see an Arado 196 from you?

As for cargo capacity conversion, a Liberty ship is rated at 7200 in the game, and could carry a cargo of 9,146 tons. Make of that what you will.

1st painfull question
Which 2 carrier capable japanese aircraft could be removed to introduce 2 German carrier capable aircraft
2nd painfull question of all the other japanese aircraft which do I replace with German there
are only 4 vacant slots and I will need more than that (Japan will be able to use replacements(under license treaty))

Is there a Japanese Fan boy out there with OOB editor expience to help as Consultant via PM

since you asked

Cobra Aus

I am a little confused by subs torp load outs
if ammo shows as 4 is this per tube so a sub with 6 tubes = 24 torpedos on board


Cobra Aus

Yup! The number is by tube. It's the same for all weapons...

At the risk of stamping heavily on Cobra's feet (which I don't want to do; God knows he's provided me with a lot of graphics), here's my version of CA Lützow:

FYI,
Ship devices must be less than 256.

Engines must be left where they are but you can modify them.
However, some of the descriptions on the production list in the game are hard coded, IIRC. Changing the name in editor does not change those names.

Hey Cobra,

Any chance of getting art for a Gloster Meteor

Cobra....

Just wanted to say thanks for the "what if" files you sent...I spent the last week or so working on a modified scenario...it's great fun having the German equipment mixed in.

I noticed you whip up the graphics pretty quick...what program are you using?

Any chance of getting a Ju 290? Or maybe a BV 222?

Have any of you guys considered doing the Tankerace route with this? He started a mod that has turned into an actual game of it's own.

If enough of you want to do the WITP Med game, I bet Matrix would help in the same way WPO is being done. (you guys do all the work, Matrix puts it together, and a Med game is released)

It's just a thought. If Tankerace can do it, you guys can too.

(I am talking about doing the actual Med theatre, not a "what if" german pacific scenario)

ps, cool art Cobra!

It is possible, but I will warn, it will take a helluva lot of work. Its more than simply doing scenarios and art, you have to play test it, and for a standalone game you'd need an AI, and with a different theater WitP's would be completely broken beyond recognition. It took the better part of two months just to get WPO's AI working good.

Not saying it is impossible, but it will be an intense amount of work. Then again, if there is a team (as opposed to 1 guy like WPO) it will be easier, but it will be an intense amount of work.

Still, the best of luck if you guys choose to do this.

Tanker is right, and he should know ...

You can bash this thing around and implement a boatload of kludges (as I intend to) but deviate from the Pacific map and you will inevitably end up with something that only "sort of" works and would in no way be saleable.

These projects are fun though

Still, if there is anything I can do, art, OOB, etc, give me a shout, I'd be more than happy to help.

here are some TOW and LCU questions for thos ewho have been down this path before me
look at the next 3 example pic
they are inf,mech & AA LCU makeups and when comparing with Allied And Japanese LCU's
they look similar but my question is why am I getting only small amount of troops compared to secondary troops (see Pic 1) only 360 troops 136268 other an I doing anything wrong ??

Have you made sure "Infantrie" is defined as a squad?

same as above but Panzer mech 3240 troops 497844 other plus if you compare the two
Mot Inf = x240 = 3240 troops but INF = x300 only gives 360 troops ??

BTW, Cobra, the Germans always measured their artillery calibers in centimeters, not millimeters.

last one and extreeme example no troops but over 1mil other
