v 2.20
Many Japanese aircrafts have one or two 57 mm guns. It's bug?? Example - Rufe (FF), Pete (FF), Judy (DB) etc...
Fleet NLF's TOE first position is 26 x nothing. Is it ok?
Japanese Ships date - include ship Wyoming.
I don't know is it intentional but I looked:
- Aikoku Maru and Hokoku Maru are placed at start on South China Sea and ordered to Society Island,
- I 68, I 403, I 405 haven't floatplanes,
- Nisshin hasn't floatplanes too,
- many reinforced units are attached to "Allied HQs",
24 Air Flotilla HQ are placed at Bikini atol.
Sorry for my english.

RHS 2.20


Ki36 Ida is a Level bomber ?
Li32 Mary is a level bomber ?
Ki48II lily a Dive bomber ?

In 2.20.

Soviets have 2 air groups that have way-ahead equipment. Yak-3 unit and LA-7 unit.
When I try to access Soviet ships in Vladivostok, I have CTD. Are Soviets yet fully implemented ? (CV Oriented, Soviets not active) Same when trying to access Soviet ship types in Database screen.

BTW..why don't people zip their files when sent...it'd make 1 file instead of 10+..and use 10 % of space...[;)][:'(]

The CTD sounds like a bad pic file. When you access the DB and it cannot show you a picture, it crashes {or did in other mods}.

I think that too. Hmm..come to think of it..I didn't d/l ship pics yet..might be the case...[:D][8D]

2.20

Couple of typo data errors when I look in the database editor

Like Device 191 57m cannon instead of device 181 7.7mm mg in lots of japanese planes. .

Massive piece of work though

v 2.20
Okinoshima is CL and has 2 x Shotai: Okinoshima and Okinoshima-1 (Alf + Alf) a/c 1/2
Tsugaru is CL and hasn't any shotai a/c 1/0
Ikitsushima is MLE (and has 4 x 75 mine)
Are is ok??
I haven't map parties WITP10 and WITP11, both for RHS and small jump map. Are they created??

Many Japanese aircrafts have one or two 57 mm guns. It's bug?? Example - Rufe (FF), Pete (FF), Judy (DB) etc...

It is a global issue - but only affects JNAF:

ALL planes with device 181 - a 7.7mm Type 97 mg - got a 30mm instead.
Talk about JFB heaven!

Issuing 2.2 now to fix this -

and also a couple of other minor issues

CVO didn't get the Marines to work at Wake but RAO did - addressed

Still - who wants a JNAF with 30mm guns? So the immediate release.

That is, in a few minutes - to see if other data corrections are needed.

Fleet NLF's TOE first position is 26 x nothing. Is it ok?

Wow. Is this technical.

No it is not OK.

The NLFs pointed to the wrong formation -
and that formation was itself wrong -
and the units that should point to that formation were also wrong.

Got em all.

Japanese Ships date - include ship Wyoming.

Yeah - Cobra figured that out yesterday. It was addressed in the current working set. But thanks - had Cobra not written this already I would not have realized it was the case. It showed up in a computer report as an art issue! Allied art for a Japanese ship - but we didn't at first understand WHY it was in the report!

- Aikoku Maru and Hokoku Maru are placed at start on South China Sea and ordered to Society Island,

Nice. These ships were wrongly in the South Pacific in CHS. They both were sunk (bearing no less than 300 torpedoes - a major loss) in the INDIAN Ocean. Neither had broken the Malay Barrior when the war began. So I moved them to the South China Sea - but never checked their destination. Since I don't know how to get them around the barrier - or their historical route - I set the detination to 0. Players may set it - or the AI may - and either way I expect them to sink! Just like history.

- I 68, I 403, I 405 haven't floatplanes,

I 68 is confusing. It shows up twice - one becomes I 168 and the other becomes I - 1. I-68 [Later I-1] DOES have an airgroup = slot 632. It is correctly assigned to I-68.

I 403 and 405 should have floatplanes. I 403 was wrongly assigned to I 402 - a tanker! And I 405 was never created - because it never formed up - but would have if things were not so awful in summer 1945. Fixed for 2.22.

- Nisshin hasn't floatplanes too,

Not my fault! Nisshin hasn't any floatplanes in fact. No air group.

I will address that in RHSESO. But not for strictly historical scenarios.

- many reinforced units are attached to "Allied HQs",

Actually, SE Fleet is a Japanese HQ - but not a proper one. Only one unit was assigned to "allied HQs" - and that clearly should be "Southern Area HQ"

But some Thai base units were assgined to the Home Defense HQ of Japan - I reviewed ALL HQ - and it is a line by line thing.

24 Air Flotilla HQ are placed at Bikini atol.
Sorry for my english.

Good catch. Should of course be Kwajalein - with the rest of the unit.

And your English is just fine - even without the cap on English!
Better than my Japanese (although I did teach my daughter enough to skip two years of immersion school - starting directly in 2nd grade - in 60 days).

Ki36 Ida is a Level bomber ?
Li32 Mary is a level bomber ?
Ki48II lily a Dive bomber ?

Good observation - and yes, yes and yes.

Ki-36 is really an observation plane - but it doubles as a tactical level bomber. Not stressed for dive bombing. It could carry 10 tiny bombs (like the first Corsair - except not inside the wings like the Corsair did) - it represents a theory of the late 1930s which did not survive.

Ki-32 (not Li) represents the identical performance Ki-30 and Ki-32 - it is even called Ki-32/30 MaryAnn - although it should be Mary and Ann - the first WITP (mechanical, Dunnigan design) combined them - and Joe felt it was acceptable - to gain a slot - they ARE virtually identical. This plane is NOT a dive bomber - but it shows up as such in CHS. It is not stressed for dive bombing. They modified it - and got the Ki-51- which WAS a dive bomber!

Ki-48II - on the other hand - is a different story. Derived from the Ki-48I - which is NOT a dive bomber - it took a lot of deliberate effort to get it stressed as one. It was a German concept of the era (see the Ju-88) - that a twin engine plane could do it - and the Ki-48 - after much delay - was a success in that respect. It was not well enough armed or protected, but it was a better bomber than the I model in that it had a bigger maximum bomb load and it could deliver by diving on the target. See Francillon - Japanese Aircraft of the Pacific War - or the Osprey book on the Ki-48.

Soviets have 2 air groups that have way-ahead equipment. Yak-3 unit and LA-7 unit.

No - in CVO the Soviets are NOT active - and so you cannot access them - unless Japan invades and activates them as per CHS and stock norms.

This is what RAO is for: IF you want to mess with the Russians, RHSRAO (Russian Active Option) = RHSCVO - EXCEPT the Russians ARE accessable. Also they have subs - even when not active Russian subs WILL fight!!! if AI is boss.

As for way ahead equipment - I did not assign the Russian air OB - it is strait across from CHS - except for naval air units. I bet the date is wrong - otherwise the equipment. I have no easy way to look this up - unless it is a data corruption thing. Checking.

The CTD sounds like a bad pic file. When you access the DB and it cannot show you a picture, it crashes {or did in other mods}.

Not communicating: what is a CTD?

I do not think this is a typo. I think it is some sort of global move of device. Because I adapted the 1.8 stock device file, I probably failed to move the mg from its 1.8 slot to its RHS slot - when they were different - or back - when the became the same again. It is almost certainly my fault - and I have fixed it for 2.22.
