Ideas for change regarding TF refuel/rearm depending on port size...


Hi all,

I got my WitP yesterday and I only quickly read the manual (don't ask me when I went to bed last night) but I think I didn't see and change regarding TF refuel/rearm in WitP compared to UV...


TF Rearming (replenishing ammo)

Right now (as far as I know now) any TF can rearm (replenish ammo) all guns (all calibers) in any size port.

IMHO this is not OK and should be changed.

Since we have the torpedo load restrictions and mine load restrictions why not add the restrictions for different guns (based on gun caliber)?


Why not add restriction that depending of port size only certain gun caliber ammo can be rearmed?


Port size 1-2: Ammo for below 5" caliber

Port size 3-4-5: All previous + ammo for above 5" caliber

Port size 6-7-8: All previous + ammo for above 8" caliber

Port size 9-10: All previous + ammo for above 10" caliber



TF Refueling

Right now (as far as I know now) any TF can refuel at any speed (i.e. take same amount of fuel) in any size port.

IMHO this is not OK and should be changed.


Why not add restriction that depending of port size the refuel takes more OPs (operation points) and thus take more time in smaller port size?


For example the 15 ship TF totally empty would be able to refuel fully in port size of, let's say, 6 and spend maximum number of OPs (operation points) but that same TF in port size of, let's say, 2 would only load 33% of fuel.



What do you say gentleman?

Matrix/2By3: any hope for this in some future WitP patch?

yes i agree! look at our discussion on AE ships. this seems to make them useless.

Leo, all that stuff is already on the "Wish List" just so you know.

Thanks a lot for info!

10" + requirement is too high. Singapore has battleships and 15" coastal gluns but is only size 8 port, no 15" ammo.

Yea, by about 4 or 5 of us ... just bigger fish to fry ... as I keep saying, bugs first then we'll know where we stand [;)]
