First impressions of 1.20?

- I managed to lose a sub on the second day of the war. CA 6DD score 6 hits and down goes SS-8. 53sys on the first day, sunk on the second.
- There is so little supply in Manila/Bataan/Clark Field now that it actually makes sense to meet Japanese on the beaches of Lingayen - no sense in prolonging the struggle.
- AI still barely protects its convoy groups: 4DD is not enough to cover 30AK/AP.

That was pretty quick patch, it's great to see a game's development cycle working like this. My biggest problem is finishing the manual, I never realized that it was this comprehensive. (though that's a good thing :d)

Does the patch solve the Japanese AI problem in certain scenarioes?

So you saying that its nearly hopeless to hold PI and Manila because the supply wont last until reinforcements come?

I'm seeing convoys protected far better in this version than before. Maybe the follow up transports won't be so well guarded, but this patch seems to make my earlier killing sprees with the Huron and her french companions all but impossible.

I don't think so, but I only had a handful of test runs against AI.

Yes, it does.
