It might not be that long... Or it might... Or there might not be an AE at all...

A list of ships will probably choke your input buffer.

A list of classes might not, but suffice to say there were maybe 45 classes in WiTP-1, and there are 83 classes in AE.

And by "classes", JWE means "ship types" (like CV, BB, DD and such).

Or perhaps the Sen Toku. I've always loathed these things, but some people seem to consider them "Da Bomb":

Oh, yeah, so here's a YP and a AMc. Japanese get To'su 100 footers. Everybody gets minefield tenders, general tenders (AGs), hydrography vessels, and Terminus gets the Jens Krogh ! More stuff than ya can deal with, unless you are like Don Bowen.

Oh, I like some of the changes here.

The durabilities seem to have been redone, and are actually very close to what I made mine in NRP (Akagi 120, Midway 160). I really hope the shifts were similar across the board - this also would explain the reasonable state the allies CVs were in the Coral Sea AAR.

Also, it seems Akagi gets a radar refit late war - very nice.

Im wondering about the smaller fuel value though - why has it decreased by ~2000 while range is the same? Did you change your 'units' for fuel?

Lastly...do the AA rockets actually work in AE?

Looking very much forward to this.

All the IJN carriers get radar late war. They're my work, and I tried to use my best judgment for that. As for the fuel, could you elaborate on what you mean? I'm fairly certain it's correct.

And yes, rockets do work. They don't work very well, being mostly of the "sound and fury signifying nothing" variety, but they work.

I see the issue you're referring to with the fuel. It's a typo (should be 6,000 tons of fuel) that'll be fixed.

Although it means putting an even bigger burden on the Japan's fuel stocks.

Yeah, I didnt expect them to kill much, but it would be nice to atleast see them fire.

As for fuel, well, in stock Akagi has 5800, in CHS she has the same, ect. Midway sees a similar change. So is this a matter of changing the 'units' for fuel, or is it that the original data was incorrect. I just spotted this as fuel was one of the things I was cautius not to change much for NRP as I had very little hard data on it.

Edit - Ok, cheers for clearing that up. And it wouldnt be the KB if it didnt take half my AOs to refuel, would it? Though Kaga makes Akagi look very efficient. [:D]
