Trugrit - NOT with evidence, but I do run LRCAP on enemy bases in addition to sweeps and bombing missions. The LRCAP does engage enemy units and seems to get good A2A results. I started doing this years ago after reading about the poor results escort missions were getting - although looking back, it...

Yes.

2nd part of question. If I am going for 360 coverage, let's say at Midway. If I have NO arc set, do I need to set the range at 4 to get that "auto" coverage? If I put the range at 0 will the auto search still be conducted out to a range of 4?

Thanks.

I am fully aware of the discussion(s) regarding setting search arcs. My question is, will there will be 360 degree coverage for the first 4 hexes regardless of the range I manually set? So for example, I set up an arc from 270-290, but with only a range of 2. Will I get 360 coverage out to a range o...

Been playing AE since it came out and never knew I could choose to NOT upgrade the production of a particular plane type.

I certainly do not remember any AARs talking about doing that - but hey, I'm old so I guess I just didn't pick up on it.

But I will now!!

Thanks.

Is there any verification to what BBF has stated? If true, that is a VERY important piece of information.

Thanks LST

Haven't played in a while and when reviewing all my tips and notes I could not find a guide to Aux Ship usage. I'm pretty sure I had one, thinking Symon put it out? Maybe Alfred. I do NOT mean his ship repair guide, I've got that. If someone has it handy or can point me in the right direction. Thank...

Ambassador - I found Ziggy! Just like you said, on PT 74. So I have to start looking at all my ships to discover if his brother is buried somewhere similar. What a task. (By the way, I am playing DBB-C)

When I am in the editor and click on a category - in this case leaders - NOTHING happens At all. So, those of you saying the Spragues are listed as ship captains, does it list the ship?

<t> One is procedural one is info related.<br/> <br/> Procedural. (First, do I get a prize for asking the 10,000th question about pilot training?) If as Allied I am using a VRF torpedo squadron and training in the RECON skill. Eventually I pull some trained pilots and place them in the reserves. My ...

<t> These are some notes Alfred posted before that I keep in my "Tips" notes:<br/> <br/> 1. Do not use Allied subs to guard important straits. That is a defensive task which is not suitable. Important straits should be "guarded" by aircraft and surface combat task forces, both of which have a much g...

Also, if you are interested in keeping things more "realistic;" Symon pointed out (many moons ago) that there were not enough drums in existence to be loading fuel onto AK types. I always self-limit to just using TK and AO, plus the afore mentioned wet capacity of some AKs.

Ok, more specifically, it is late war (March '45) and I am bombarding Tinian as the Allied player. I have 4 x New Orleans class CA and 4 x Fletcher DD. My goal is to inflict as much damage as possible to the ground units there. So, 2 x TFs of equal strength or one bigger one?

All things being equal, which is a more effective method for Naval Bombardment - 2 x separate TFs or combine them into one bigger one?

Not historical but I really enjoy In Harm's Way.

In one of the old, old, old threads regarding leadership skills it was suggested that the best skill for the CV Captain itself was naval - as this would help its survivability during attack.

<t> On the road for a week so no manual available. My question is how does the game engine choose pilot replacements for a squadron when I push "get new pilot?" I am NOT selecting veterans myself. So if I have a fighter squadron is there a skill that has priority? And related to that, if I train a p...

Thanks Kull!

I searched and found the Ship Repair 101 Guide - but I'd like to have a clean copy to print, without all the yellow highlighted words. How do I actually get to the original?

Keeping them to normal range means the Marianas are NOT viable bases to use to hit the mainland?
