Change retreat hex range 2 -> 3 hexes

This is huge and interesting. Less shattered and going to queue now in crowded place (France for example). Will also allow for more risk taking I think... Curious to see the results...

Sub attack CV 6/9 -> 10/15

Not sure what this one means.

Fixed bottom ships will now be destroyed if hit again in port

That was so frustrating...[:(]


Many thanks Alvaro

If I understand the change in naval targeting correctly, CVs are now going to more vulnerable to naval air attacks.

Increase chance to be targeted in a big blob of ships.
Same for submarine attack to CV. The escort will be less efficient.

I understand to numbers for CVs and BBs, (basically a CV will now have 10 chances to be targeted on whatever the value of a fleet is instead of the 6 chances previously).

But the subs vs CV numbers I am not sure because there are 2 of them (goes from 6/9 to 10/15).

Wondering, could the second numbers (9 and 15) be for damaged CV groups (even more chances to be targeted by subs)?

My understanding is the second number is for damaged CVs. So instead of damaged CVs having a 9 target profile now they have a 15. So once a CV is damaged, subs will almost always target it when attacking a fleet they are in.

Change retreat hex range 2 -> 3 hexes

This might be the largest change in the list as I've played a few AI games and read a bunch of AARs, this was often utilized to shatter units that didn't have retreat paths. Overall I think its probably a good change to avoid the gamey moves to force that but could have a significant balance impact.

WHO in their right mind is attacking CVs with subs?

Oh its Nirosi...nevermind my question.
