Bugs in v1.10 to be fixed in v1.11
Posted: Wed Jun 19, 2002 10:19 am
I had 2 fully loaded transport TF's sail right up to Gilli Gilli with a spotted Japanese Carrier TF sitting a few hexes away from their path to and from it. Needless to say. I lost 19 ships and most of the 3rd Australian Division in 1 day because the Retirement for TF's isn't working.
I have now stopped playing UV until a patch can be released for this. In its current state its unrealistic and unenjoyable to play due to the inability of TF's to retire when they should.
Another gamebreaker is also the fact that Tokyo Express and Night Bombardments no longer retire but instead sit at their target hex the whole day which totally screws them and exposes them to air power.
My opponent stated to me that his transport TF's were not retiring from my spotted night bombardment group which ended up sitting at Lunga all day while his transport TF's sailed in obliviously into the port and were destroyed. He lost 23 ships in one day to my one bombardment group that should have retired that night after bombarding but instead sat in lunga harbor as a surface action group until I gave it the order manually to return to homebase. His TF's should have retired from my surface action group rather than sailing into Lunga and laying anchor while my cruisers methodically destroyed them.
Another annoying bug is the fact that Transport TF's no longer return to their homeports when they are done unloading. While this is not a gamebreaker. It adds more micromanagement and puts your transport TF's in harms way that much longer than they need to be on the front line bases.
Also both players see a message whenever the computer creates a sub TF. XXXX sub is unable to load torps from brisbane or SS-Gato is loading 10 mines into tubes. When in reality the next turn I checked the Gato and it was fully loaded with torps and set to sub patrol and not mine. Either way my opponent seems to know anytime I get a new sub in the game if I let the computer control sub TF's.
Myself and all my strategic minded friends love this game. We really want to play it. Most of us restarted our PBEM's when the new patch came out. Some of those were already into 1943. We have tried to spread the word about this game to all our friends, but find ourselves reserved in doing so until these bugs are fixed.
Thanx and I hope these will be fixed asap so we can all get back to praising the makers of UV and the soon to be WITP.
