Acording to a recent NPR radio story about 75% of kids today dont live with both their parents, only 25% do live with their natrual parents, so "Normal" would be about the opset of what one might think.

This is amazingly coherant and well-spelled for BRADY. Maybe he's the one running for office..., a Seat on the Board of Education.

After 10 years of schooling I found a seat on the Bored of Education. And no, I am not using Brady's spell checker.[:D]

Posted the complete list on the land thread thought I may as well double up and post the currrent draft of the HQ and naval TF list here as well.

I am looking for a couple more junior flag officers to add so if anyone has any preferences let me know.

It's an unlikely one, but:
Will there be any of the LSTs equipped with the Brody device which allowed launching and recovery of Grasshopper spotter a/c?

A more likely one though. Will there finally be seperate art slots for the USN minelayers Terror and Oglala?

No and yes.

Will the subs have air-search/warning radars in AE ? I had to add them myself and also contribute to CHS to have them added.

All submarines get the full historical radar fits.

Will the Japanese air search radar be fixed?

Already done.

In the task force selection screen could you add tab that only shows ships due for an upgrade? When you have a large number of ships at a forward base and you want to send ships back for a refit it is a bit if the task to select the appropriate ships.

Eh, that's already part of stock WitP, so it's obviously going to be in the AE.

I think he means in the ship selection screen when creating TF's or transferring ships to a TF.

That is exactly what I mean.

Has any consideration been given to limiting somehow the number of AKs that can unload supply over a beach (as for an invasion)? As it is, an infinite number of AKs can all unload simultaneously.

Same issue for ports.

Good question.

Good question.

One of our "complete rewrite" areas for AE is the ship/beach/port load/unload system. Navy Team can provide more details (and have) but safe to say the inital tests of loading and unloading rates may have been changed to be TOO slow - though we are tweaking further, last round was much better.

Is there still an unlimited number of ships that can unload and that they can unload less per day or is there now a cap on the number of ships that can unload at one time? I sure hope the latter....

Actually - this seems confused. OVER A BEACH the number SHOULD BE unlimited! It is in a port - at the much more efficient port loading rates - that restrictions are needed - both for number of ships - and also for size of ship. [My first ship - AKA-249 USS Francis Marion - was the last APA the US ever built. She carried 22 landing craft - and could land almost anywhere cargo as large as an M-60 tank - beach or not. So long as "anywhere" means "some suitable site near the objective" and not literally every meter of coast. If you have more ships, you do two things: spread out over more "beach" - wether or not it is actual beach; phase the landing craft: no reason you cannot have wave upon wave of them coming ashore from ships anchored out.]

Now theoretically a beach might be too small to permit an infinite number of ships to land. Normally - you just pick additional beaches. But some places there are no beaches at all - and what there are are very limited. Since we have no way to rate beaches - or even say "no landings here" (the entire west coast of Kerguelin Island - well actually most of the island except in the east - has NO suitable landing points - and we are talking over a thousand square mile island here - a wierd one I happen to know in detail). As a general rule, our hexes are so large there is a landing point. The only reason to limit landings might be for very tiny atols/islets.
