<t> This is a problem I addressed in my recent thread for "things we might edit for future upgrades"(etc.).<br/> <br/> While I have had better luck keeping those TF's at sea depending on the leader himself, I still cannot imagine Arleigh Burke cutting away after his force encountered a few empty bar...

RE: Slow LCU movement question

I would like to see more ship types with the ability to go close to shore with landing barges, for support and to draw fire from the smaller troop carriers, as in real life.

RE: FOW ON = NO VIEWABLE ENEMY TF

RE: Ship Repair Help

<t> A ship in repair might say 10 days to repair...but that is not carved in stone, and it may take longer depending on other ships in the repair quay, the number of engineers located there, naval support personnel, supply, AG's, AR's, etc..<br/> Some of this does not apply to Tokyo, but some does.....
