Admirals Edition Naval Thread

[witpqs]

Two things.

1) LSIL is listed twice, once each for large and small. Maybe one should be LSIS?

2) [X(] Holy Cow! [&o]

[JamesM]

Just started a new game and I would like to see an auto disband option added to sub missions. This is particularly useful when you are directing subs to bases with naval bases for a scheduled refit.

[Terminus]

It's in.

It's Landing Ship, Infantry Little and Large...[:D]

[Akos Gergely]

Sorry if this has been asked before (these threads are getting way to large to follow them all.. ), so would there be any changes to surface ship main gun accuracy?

It's really annoying when BBs shoot at each other with 20mm guns for half an hour...

And the end. A total of 78 types.

Also, the AI will use some ship types depending on class attributes.

Cool![&o]

Nothing to do with main gun accuracy...

Is sub vs. sub finally there ?

Yup

But still silly and annoying.....

[Terminus]

Didn't say it wasn't...

[Dixie]

ORIGINAL: Terminus

Yeah, like I said...

Anyway, the earliest I can find (same book as above, page 208) was the joint USN/RN operation against Sabang in Sumatra on 19 April '44, HMS Illustrious flying off Corsairs of 1830 and 1833 Squadrons, FAA.

That's the same info in the Fleet Air Arm Handbook 1939-1945 (p.53).

[Grotius]

Don, great stuff! Love the new classes.

I don't know if your charts will go in the new manual, but if so, one typo to mention: in AKE, it should read "when both ships...", not "when in both ships...".

Looks great! Sheesh, I can't wait.

OK. Following six displays are the AE ship types. You will notice considerable expansion.

Also:
1. A number of additional types are primarily variations of pre-existing types, included for historical accuracy. CVB as a variant of CV, for instance.
2. As much as possible, we adjusted ship type designations to the US Navy standard. It is generally understood and very detailed.
3. Where necessary, we used designations from other navies - generally for types that did not fit well into the standard US designations.
4. Several existing types have been reclassified! AG is just the beginning.

Here is number one. Not too much new here. We added CVB, CB, and TB (especially for the 12 Japanese large TB).

Wow! [X(] Great work and thanks for the answer.

I know this might be a very obvious and redundant question, but just to make sure, all these new ship classes will be listed under these new designations and you can sort by them? So I can sort my list (SAIEW) by ship class and I will see AP, APA, AK, AKA, CV, CVB, SS, SST and so on all grouped together and listed as such (you wont have to right click on a SS to see if it is a SS, a SST, or a SSX like you do right now to see if a AP is a vanilla AP or an APA)?

Thanks again. The more I read about this expansion the better it gets [:D]

Yes, of course.

What is SAIEW?

Thanks Don. That alone would get me to buy the expansion. [:D]

SAIEW - Same As It Ever Was

[Skyland]

You can find here a complete (?) list of IJN vessels :

May be some of them, missing in Witp, to be added in AE ? [:)]

[Terminus]

Of course. We have all of that already.

[Akos Gergely]

Well I mean IMHO it was Nik who tinkered with this and with a higher accuracy for main guns this thing was kind of sorted...

So to put in an other way possible solutions for this issue?
