This is the latest Scenario 2 with the updated AI. I have some bombers attacking the oil, other B-17s attacking the Light Industry that was placed there. When the Dutch bombers attack the oil, sometimes they also get oil hits.

But I don't understand why the ASW devices in the city are being hit. I did not realise that Miri had/has ASW devices in this scenario.

Given it's only you who see those bugs, I'd tell the people what have you edited in Scen2 for your personal use :) It's OK.
And load a game as Japan and peek at Miri, take a screenshot, post it here. And load Scen2 in the editor go to Miri in Locations->731 and post screenshot here. Then we can talk

Also it kinda bothers me that Oil is the only industry that does not have itself set as an upgrade, but it's like that in all the scenarios since time immemorial

Also, the fact that you hit devices 111->113->115 in consecutive days is similar to how AI repairs 2 industries per turn :D Be a good boy, peek at Miri



To add some lighthearted joke bugs with the AI games: recently I was able to bombard and damage planes that were not in the airgroups :) They were in the reinforcement convoy that mysteriously rerouted from off-map to a very much alive and hot on-map base. Wonder what happens with planes that are damaged in crates.

Resources also do not have an expansion (there is no such thing as an industry upgrade other than aircraft related ones changing their type).

You are talking about something else, not what I have said. Check the Editor to be in the clear

I took your word 'upgrade' to mean expansion in size, since upgrade is not applicable to all none-aircraft industries: shipbuilding, refineries, armaments, vehicles, etc. I cannot otherwise figure out what you mean by "upgrade" because I did not expect you to forget about all those other industries.

You should not look for hidden meanings, upgrade is upgrade. Each device can be assigned one. Oil is not assigned an upgrade, all other other industries are, it's all clear there in the editor. But that's a minor probably not related to what RangerJoe is having. And given that he apparently does not want to look into the Miri industries, I won't bother too.

Unfortunately, I hit escape on the second battle and I did not see if it was three torpedo hits by one PT Boat or hits by other PT boats as well. And yes, the surface fleet was the second battle otherwise it may have been wiped out!

I a game about 5 years ago I had a PT boat catch the Musashi TF in shallow water off Rangoon in mid43. One torp into Musashi and she was out of the game(heavy damage) for the remainder of the war.
