Am opening this thread for the play-testers to be able to comment on for the newest version of BTS.

This is the message I sent our testers prior to Opening the thread:

Here are some of the pertinent questions:
1. Check all AIR ART both sides. I know we need Liz Art, A7M1, and A7M1a art. Look for more missing…
2. Check all NAVAL ART both sides.
3. Look at the starting locations for BOTH sides. There are massive changes from anything we’ve done before.
4. The Japanese Economy. Can really only check by running some turns.
5. Check Upgrades and Conversions for all ships.

This file is pretty much BTS Heavy. You will not see the Owari-Class BB or the Niitaka-Class CA.

Once you have looked around, lets try to pair off and run some turns. Would like to run at least two week’s worth to see if we have issues.

Do we want to start a new OPEN thread on the design side of the Forum? If so, we can Post our thoughts and issues there. I’ll keep notes and we can discuss any issues found.

LOTS MORE but let us get this rolling and see what we see.

Time for you boys to earn your keep. Go get ‘em!!!

Great!

I sent everything to Larry. Did you happen to create a wire chart for Airframe upgrades?....GP

[larryfulkerson]

I found an Allied aircraft that doesn't have a location. Is that a game stopper?

Here's another one:

Fantastic Larry. This is the EXACT sort of thing we are looking for.

Keep Posting and/or write down the unit numbers so I can go into the Master and fix it.

Kitakami is jumping on board to help as well.

[John 3rd]

Had the question as to what version of BTS this is. The answer is BOTH. I've moved everything into the one scenario. We'll go thru and clean it up and then I'll differentiate it by which ships are active and which are not.

EX: If Yamato-Class and the Fuji-Class are present, it is BTS--Heavy. If Owari-Class BB and Niitaka-Class CA is present then we are in BTS--Lite. Make sense?

[Nomad]

Do you need more eyes on it? I have lots of time on my hands, retired more than a year ago and on lockdown for good while yet.

[John 3rd]

Hey Sir. Appreciate the offer. PM me with your email and I can send the Folder.

[John 3rd]

We plan to go thru the Mod looking for issues, do clean-up, and then split into Jap--Allied teams to run a good 12-30 days of game to see if things are working.
