My 62 Sqn Dakota III have suddenly acquired the Naval Attack Mission.

i guess the Allies must be getting desperate - using Dakotas as Kamikaze bombers??!! Not sure how else a Dak would be useful in naval attack? maybe the drop crew could heave a few grenades out the door as they fly past?

No 62 squadron starts the game with Blenheim I bombers and is withdrawn. It comes back with Dakotas likely with the mission the older squadron had when it left.

011. Show path of group plane upgrades on the user selected upgrade screen; (+) against upgrade indicates the old designer group path upgrade
012. Added an option to retain the user over-ridden group upgrade when manually upgrading only; currently it loses the original upgrade if player down grades
102. Fixed Once R&D kicks in, always keep at least one R&D point available to stop DB updates from wiping out availability advancement

009. Added a destroyed LCU screen and the ability to reform non-Chinese LCUs (at 1% TOE) using PPs

That's really impressive list of changes and fixes! Kudos to devs! [&o]

Expecially for those three listed below.
Database changes applied to long played PBEM and it looks like R&D is not reset and all works like charm. [:D]

I am little worried about this one.

I assume it increases the playability a lot, but... isn't the PP cost to reform destroyed LCU's a bit too low as it is now? I am able to recreate a whole armor regiment for 2-3 PPs? [&:]

I haven't been able to find the destroyed LCU screen yet ... is it off the main info screen? MAybe I don't have any?

Shows up on mine on the info screen, underneath the Ground arrival and withdrawal buttons.

On the same subject - originally posted this on the other patch thread, but this seems a better place for it:

Scen 28, DaBigbabes Allies v AI currently @ 17-12-41

The destroyed LCU's list contains the usual suspects - Hong Kong, Wake units etc.

When the list first comes up, the PP cost to recall shows as 'not defined'. When the units are selected via left click, then back a PP cost shows.

However, the PP cost for units previously left-clicked changes as further units are selected. Select the Middlesex bn and the recall cost shows as 1pp. Select the Grenadiers of Winnipeg and both units show a cost of 2. Select the Rifles of Canada and the cost for the WG is now 3, although the Middlesex bn are still at 2.
The order in which units are selected on the list also has an effect. Select the units in order 'A' (as above) and the costs and changes will be the same if you reload and use the same order again.

However, if you use a different order ('B'), the costs to recall the units and the changes to them are different from order 'A'. eg select the Winnipeg Grenadiers first and the Middlesex second and the PP cost ends up as 5 and 1 respectively.

Is this just a glitch caused by applying the destroyed LCU recall to an ongoing game?

The PP cost should be based on the Assault value, which is derived from devices that the unit will be rebuilt with. Once a unit is recalled, it wont change its setup or PP cost in repeated calls.

Calculating the values does depend on certain values being cleared for the destroyed unit. It could be that those areas aren't set up on older saves.

Malaya HQ in my game costs 60pp to bring back. By your accounting, it should cost nothing as the AV value of the unit is zero.

And I cant post files to the board (of any kind) for some unknown reason. Using the forum e mail, I cant attach files so if you want a save, going to have to furnish your e mail addy. Also you want a 005 file or a 001 file for the reports (or both)?

I applied the upgrade but I cant confirm it is in effect. There is no change in main screen upgrade version.

It says version 1.0.4.1106

What am I doing wrong.

Hi guctony,

You should have a new icon on your desktop that is named "War in The PAcific - Beta."

Use that icon - it links to "C:\Matrix Games\War in the Pacific Admiral's Edition - Copy\Beta\War in the Pacific Admiral Edition.exe" -w

TTFN,

Mike
