First: Is there any easy way to know (aside from going through and comparing each unit in detail) the differences of the OOB from ver 1.30 to 1.40?

Thanks!

The OOB changes are listed in the readme file "WhatsNew.pdf" in your WitP directory. Also linked in your start menu folder for WitP as "What's New"

Hi,
can someone confirm the new allied carrier capable slots ? the readme says slots 243 and 249.
Slot 243 is already being used for the soviet Li-2 transport.

Do you have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer? If not, download it for free from www.adobe.com.

A list of OOB changes was also pasted into a post on one of the other 1.40 threads.

CVEBlock Island STILL has no air groups. Dis it historicaly not have an air group?

USS Block Island (CVE-106) was one of four Commencement Bay class escort carriers that were equipped with Marine Squadrons for direct support during amphibious assaults. Block Island was the only one that carrier night fighters.

Each ship carried a composite Marine Air Group that consisted of:
A Group Headquarters, called a Marine Carrier Air Group (MCVG)
A Fighter Squadron
A Torpedo Bomber Squadron
A Carrier Aircraft Service Detachment (CASD) that was directly attached to (and numbered with) the MCVG.
Note that some or all of the fighter squadrons were equipped with FM-2 prior to deployment but it APPEARS that all were
equipped with Corsairs (F4U-1 or FG-1) before deployment. In addition, each VMF(CVS) was assigned two F6F-5P photo-recon fighters, but these are not represented in WITP.


These Ships and their airgroups were:

Block Island: MCVG-1
VMF(CVS)-511 with 10 F4U-1 and 8 F6F-3N
VMTB(CVS)-233 with 12 TBM

Gilbert Islands: MCVG-2
VMF(CVS)-512 with 16 F4U-1
VMTB(CVS)-143 with 12 TBM

Vella Gulf: MCVG-3
VMF(CVS)-513 with 16 F4U-1
VMTB(CVS)-234 with 12 TBM

Cape Gloucester: MCVG-4
VMF(CVS)-351 with 16 F4U-1
VMTB(CVS)-132 with 12 TBM


Four more groups were being prepared for the invasion of Japan but were not yet ready when the war ended. The first two had joined their CVEs and working up, the last two were still ashore

Salerno Bay: MCVG-5 with VMF(CVS)-514 and VMTB(CVS)-144

Puget Sound: MCVG-6 with VMF(CVS)-321 and VMTB(CVS)-454

Rendova: MCVG-7 with VMF(CVS)-216 and VMTB(CVS)-624

Point Cruz: MCVG-8 with VMF(CVS)-217 and VMTB(CVS)-464

Khabarovsk with 1,000,000 supplies at scenario 16?

Perhaps it was entered with one digit too much?

In British Fleet and Escort Destroyers, Vol. 1 (H T Lenton), the old S class DDs Thracian and Stronghold indicate that they were converted to minelayers in 38/39. Should these be a new class of DMs or did they convert back in 42 for escort work?
