So?

I'm sure you devotees of the Yamato people wrought plenty of JFB havoc on the actual guts of the game.

One of my early endeavors will be to see how capable the editor is at weeding out ahistorical, pro-Japanese silliness.
Put my faith in the people
And the people let me down.
So, I turned the other way,
And I carry on anyhow.

What about RE: Modified interface in Admiral Edition? and Subchasers link GUI SKIN ??

You may be doing Subchaser and future modders a disservice... [:-]

I seem to recall "Pauk" saying that AE = Allied Edition - I guess time will tell.

Last I recall, the Allies won in real life and the Japanese never really had the moxie to compete with things like Allied production. The way a Japanese player "wins" is to not be crushed as quickly as they were in real life.

I always enjoyed your commentary while beta testing this game but after 2.5 months of playing this game I can safely say lets hope you don't sell used cars for a living. [;)]

Not really, because in AE is usually 90% shot down for no hits.[:(]

YH has a point.  I for one would not mind having one of the loading screens have a pic of a stunningly beautiful Geisha.  Or a more neutral one so none of the fanboys can be upset.....LargeSlowTarget's island girls!

I think it actually would have been nice for the game if it had given the Japs at least the option of delaying their Dec. 7 attacks in order to keep the US/Brits out of the war in order to try to clean up China/USSR first. Maybe a scenario like that could be set up with the editor, and playable in a human vs. human format with house rule prohibitions on the Allied player until the Japs decide to strike.

I wish mine hit as much as you guys say they will. Prince of Whales and Repulse in sights and not a hit one. [:@]
