Why do Japanese Infantry divisions not have any TOE engineers? I find it absurd that an Infantry division can't dig in at all. Sure they have combat engineers but they do not build forts in bases or outside bases in this game model.

Why do Japanese carriers uppgrade to carry 5 inch ground assault rockets? Would personaly not include them in a assault TF. And US LCI(R) etc has their 5 inch ground assault rockets listed as ASW weapons, why? In the database the 5 inch rocket is listed as an ss-rocket. Does this mean ASW rocket or surface to surface rocket?

Q

SS rocket means "surface to surface" but you can just ignore them. None of the rockets in the game, stock or otherwise, function properly.

Hi,

These are Database errors that have been with us since the game was released. Hopefully sometime in the future an official database correction patch will be released correcting these mistakes.
As Terminus has stated in stock they don't work , however they may work in RHS Mod as ElCid has redifined device 083 - 5" Rocket as a Naval Gun for use on LCI(R)'s and created an 'AA Gun' device called 4.7in Rocket for japanese CV's.

cheers

The problem with rocket-firing landing craft are not the rockets, but the landing craft themselves; the mission they're supposed to fulfill isn't functioning properly. So it doesn't really matter if Cid's done anything to them.
