woohoo we are all checking here regularly.

Glad to see there is still hope for a weekend PBEM. All my opponents have ceased producing turns till its out. They all want to start new except Mogami who gave me the option, being the officer and gentleman that he is.

I really hope this *ISN'T* taken as encouragement.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Hello...

Thanks, Brad. The latter was fixed in the this patch and the former will be in the next patch.

Bye...

I don't care about all your empirical arguments. The thing I noticed was that Matrix is adding Flt Lt Gorton of 77 Squadron. With apologies to anyone else who may have mentioned it, it seems they are applying MY suggestion.

This means that 1 billionth of this game was created because of my input (hysterical laughter).......

I've never influenced a game design before.

Thanks Matrix. I'm stoked.

Hello...

Thanks for your input. Your items of concern are on our list and we will address them as soon as possible.

Bye...

I am certainly happy about Flt Lt Gorton, and your success at influencing the game design, but apparently my CS: convoys with AOs or TKs will still stop one day out from Truk or Brisbane or Noumea; My PT boats or barges will still disappear; My automatic victory celebration will still consist of a crash to the scenario selection screen where I will now be able to select a scenario where I can achieve that crash even quicker; The AI will still steal my Japanese ships from the port at Luganville and send them to Noumea to be bombed and/or sent back to Pearl/Japan; my troops marching from Buna to Dobadura will still end up in Finschafen, after apparent teleportation--and the New Caledonia--New Guinea teleportation effect will also still work; and my troops and equipment that were on ships that were sunk will still end up getting where they were sent. Good swimmers, eh, rescuing tanks, and dragging them on board the rescue ships! I know, I know; I'm just being picky--after all Flt Lt. Gorton is in the game!

Can I hope that some of these bugs will be addressed in the next patch?

Hello...

This was an intentional part of the game design. Not a popular one, however. Changing this is on the list.

Are you doing anything to prevent routine convoys from picking up troops. I've got troops all over the dam place. I run very few routine convoys because of this.

Was B17 high altitude accuracy looked at in this patch?

Mike Wood · Post by **Mike Wood** » Sun Jun 16, 2002 2:26 am

Hello...

No, it wasn't. Just looked up the code and the B-17 and B-24 targeting and bombing sequences use the same code. All US medium bombers use the Norden.

Apology accepted 1089. Perhaps replies to replies shouldn't be done at 2 in the morning either. I'll call it even if you do.

Thanks
