Just wondering what ships from the Great White Fleet are in the game? And yes I'm gonna buy the game just waiting for wifely approval.

Hoo boy, let me think about this...

OK - go to http://www.greatwhitefleet.info/GWF-The ... ships.html. Here are the ships on that list that, to my knowlege, are NOT in WPO: BB Kearsarge, Alabamba, Wisconsin, Virginia, and Kansas. I guess they're either laid up or guarding the Atlantic. Following the link from that page to the armored cruisers, all of them except Tennesee/Memphis and of course California/San Diego, are in the game too.

There are also a considerable number of Spanish-American and Russo-Japanese veterans, as well as the post-American Civil War monitor Monondock, which seems to be a favorite among some of the forumers. [;)]

All of them are in. You just gotta find them... and change the 9999 in database's arrival date to say, 220506...

You actually made me open the editor for the first time, Rysyonok! Very, very interesting....we can have lots of fun with this tool [;)]

Two tips.
 
1. Save backups. Say, use 180 for your intended scenario, 181 after you spent 2 hours on it, 182 after 4 etc. Screwups do happen.
2. Read the manual carefully.

Yeah, the pre-dreads are lots of fun! And you can also change the ones, such as HMS London, that are in the game as minelayers back into battleships. As for editors, I prefer the Witp Editor X over the official one, anyone else use that one?

Never heard of it... link please?

It was designed for WITP but works for WPO as well. It isn´t perfect, but it does allow for making some global changes, which definitely quickens things up!

Thanks!

Thanks for the info on the Great white fleet just knowing some of the ships are in the game is what made me decide to buy it [:D] This is gonna be fun

A word of caution for all the new additions: when making scenarios, please take into account poor accuracy of guns of that period. No, there is no need to tinker with ranges, experience, etc. Just keep ammo loads low
