Allied AR conversions...

Post by jeffs »

I look at all my AKs (am only in Jan 42) and see no AKs that update to ARs...
How / where/ when can a I get ARs?


Thanks.

If you go through all your AK's individually at the bottom right of the screen of each ship it should indicate what it can upgrade to and when.

I know. But so far I have seen none that go to AR....

One of the things that has changed in AE is the limited AR's, no more of the endless AK-AR or other A-type tender conversions. You get a few as reinforcements plus some ARD's & AK's have limited conversions (AKE & AG) for the most part

I just checked with tracker for scenario 1 and it seems there are no conversions to AR available. This means you're stuck with those 20 or so additional vessels you get throughout the game.

Just don't put them into frontline bases and I believe they will suffice - or not. [8D][:D]
If you gained knowledge through the forum, why not putting it into the AE wiki?

So treat them like gold as they are not replaceable and very valuable through out the war

Additional AR's show up from time to time on the WC and at Balboa; I move the two AR's at Pearl south to Australia ASAP if they aren't hit by the PH attack.  They are very helpful at bases like Noumea and Townsville to make minor repairs on ships in the region.

Am I correct that AR's can function on any size port?

The Australian AS Platypus will upgrade to an AR in 4/44.

There are no AR conversions for the Allies, so be judicious in their employment.
I have been inputting my orders for the campaign game first turn since July 4, 2009. I'm getting close. In another month or two, I might be able to run the turn!

Yes! Also note that you can disband a ship in any size port.
