Pzb, make a transport or amphib convoy out of AK's only. Load it up with supplies and merge it with your invasion force. I would suggest leaving seperate from the amphibs, it seems to work better if they are two seperate forces.

Data Error:

Ship Classes Database entry #100 'Q' class

Weapon #6 20mm Oerlikon has only 01 ammo.

Same for Entry #102 'R' Class

Also include Entries #103 and #105.

questionable name of units


IJN PB Ikunta Maru
“Ikunta” doesn’t sound like Japanese.
I suppose it is a Ikuta Maru(&#29983;&#30000;&#20024;), which is shown <a href="http://homepage3.nifty.com/jpnships/com ... m">here</a>


IJN leader
ID 4839 CPT Oda, Tamejiko
“Tamejiko” is odd as japanese man’s name.
Isn’t he Oda, Tamekiyo(&#23567;&#30000; &#28858;&#28165;)?
In December 1941, He was a Commander Submarine Squadron 4 which consists of I24, I25 and I26.

Thank you very much 'somali'. Some very few of us have a limited grasp of Japanese; so some of the transliterations into English may well be defective.

There are very few native Japanese posters, so we do not often have the benefit of adequate 'correction'. I take your comments to heart and wish above all things to give Japan the respect it deserves. In Da Babes mod, I will make those changes you suggest, and will make any others you think are appropriate.

Thank you for purchasing and playing this game. If there is anything we can do to make it more comfortable to our Japanese friends, you need only ask.

Just noticed that the DD Ingraham and Ingrahm II are due to come on as rienforcemtent. It may be double accounting? Not sure. Both are Sumners, both in Oct 44, about 14 days appart.

Is the ammo amount correct for device 1759 (3in A/S Mortar) on the E class ships Shimushu and Etorofu? The ammo amount is listed as 60, which is significantly higher than most devices. There are some other E class ships that have 24 ammo (which also seems kind of high), but nothing I've seen (even the Allies) is that high.

The ship classes in question are 1285-1288 (Shimushu) and 1293-1296 (Etorofu).

I wonder if the ammo amount should be 06 and not 60. All the other asw devices on those ships have ammo at 06.

Ship classes #126 to #131 ('E' Class CL) have device 6 and 7 set to 4.5in/45 QF Mk V (#1514) when the weapons mounted on these were actually 4in/45 QF Mk V HA (#1522) from what I've read. The device assigned to them currently only entered service in '44 and is present on these ships before that.

Also, ship class #13 (Repulse 6/43) has device 9 (20mm Oerlikon #1540) assigned an armour value of 1 when this does not appear to be the case for other mounts of the same type on any ships.

Hi all,

This not really an OOB or strictly naval question, more a request for consideration in the next patch...I just wasn't sure where to put it.

As you know, the combat replay shows info on the severity and type of damage done as a result of air or naval attack on a ship. The combat report only shows the number of hits and some info on the resulting fire and damage level.

Since detailed hit information is displayed anyway, it would be handy to have it readily available in the game (ie via the report buttons).
This would add valuable at-hand intel that would otherwise require multiple reruns of the combat replay and a tedious manual follow-up.

Would it be feasible to include this in a next patch/update/hotfix?

Cheers,

Moss

Hello Harald. Thanks a lot for doing this. Any info on Dutch kleine babys is much appreciated; except I dread going to the in-box, because I know Mr Bowen will be chomping at the bit.

To keep you from doing unnecessary work, must mention that the ship "Tonnage" is a calculated value based on Deadweight, and Block parameters, calculated to give an analog of "Std" tonnage for merchant-type vessels. Doesn't depend on Gross Register Tons at all, so GRT values, while nice, don't mean anything in game terms, so ya don't need to check up on it.

We have Lloyds Registry, in electronic form, going back to 1936. So if the ship existed (was registered) in 1940, or 1941, we got her specs on file.

Thanks again. Keep it coming. Don will love you for it. J

Hi JWE,

the GRT values are the only ones available in all sources and that was the reason for putting them into the table. Doesn't take much time to write them down, I'm using the GRT for comparison only. To check when the ship left the PTO or re-entered the theater, when it was sunk and where it should be located on the AE map that is really time-consuming.

The formula AE uses makes sense and is - once more - an evidence, that this OOB is the most detailed one could provide![&o]

Harald

@Don

Makian, Rokan etc.
I assumed these ships were to small to put them into the DB. I'll have a look...

Thank you Harald. Was only looking to reduce your workload. GRT is actually good for comparison purposes - one model to another - so if it's no trouble for you, I am very comfortable with your providing that data.

Must say I am very impressed with, and very appreciative of, your work. Don and I, both, consider your posts on this matter as something special.

Thanks again. J
