CV Upgrades ~ crib table ?

Post by Macclan5 »

An oft asked question sorry ; and one I have tried to self research.

However is it all in one spot ?

Is there a crib table that lists CV <name> and then 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc and first eligible update date ?

Japan and US ?

I suppose it could be asked for for all ships frankly however I think the CV are probably the most acute as new-ish players are constantly weighing in on need / benefit / deployment plans. [8D]

Or is this a dbase thing and I simply need to learn to use the dbase access?

This is specific to upgrades

~ fine with mechanics
~ fine with ship details about upgrades
~ fine with process / locations / duration etc

I checked the manual perhaps I missed it ?

Could not find any attachment in Naval OOB thread.

Did a search on forums. Found two very good threads:

This one was more specific to Lexington and Allied CV

tm.asp?m=2467137&mpage=1&key=upgrades&#2468069

This one with General Pattons advice about damage / upgrades same time / BBs in Pearl.

tm.asp?m=3967134&mpage=1&key=upgrades&#3967583

Could not find a "one pager so to speak" that summarized CV update dates / perhaps value add like "big major or small minor".

The information is provided inside the game on a ship class basis.&nbsp; Every ship class which has an upgrade is identified in the ship database (short cut key "V") with the original ship class name followed by x/y where x = month and y = year when upgrade becomes available eg
&nbsp;
Lexington
Lexington 3/42
Lexington 6/42
Lexington 10/42
Lexington 1/44
Lexington 1/45
&nbsp;
The list of upgrades is also provided on each individual ship information screen.
&nbsp;
Read this thread for more information on ship upgrades.

&nbsp;
This thread also provides important information on the difference between ship upgrades and ship conversions.

Thank you gentlemen ...

You both once again answered exactly my questions.

I was 'mostly good on those threads' Alfred ~ albeit they added a few new points to my repository of information. Once again thanks. [:D]

Through the manual / reading / ship information screen I was solid on the what / why... I was mostly hazy on the "when next"

The actual Database / Tracker seems to be the crib sheet I was looking for specifically.

I know a number of veterans have posted very handy cribs such as: "all ship types described" and "how to use those auxiliary ships" "allied set up sheet".

I printed them out and keep them handy as references.

I had wondered if there was a CV (in particular) or perhaps Allied crib of "key upgrade dates by ship class"..

I sadly seem to be a little pen and paper intensive in planning my tactics around this game.

I need to get on the learning curve and implement tracker and the Intel wizard.
