    Was north carolinas damage model corrected?For example when you’d shoot something very high up on the ship like the radar and the powder would detonate

    Anyway,I’ve been enjoying it,U-Boats finally being fun to use again,and XXIs actually working in BoTA

    Hey killerfish, would you ever think of adding more ports?

    If so, here ar a few sugestions:
    Axis- Sevastopol,Bulgarian ports, and captured Greek and Yugoslavian ports

    Allies- Gulf of Mexico ports (Houston,New Orleans,Biloxi,Mobile),Murmansk, and South African ports

      I’d like to see a new Pacific Fleet. Perhaps it could have the A-150 and Montana as unlockable ships. It should also have many features that are already in AF, such as many ship classes, dynamic campaign, pricing structure similar to ships in AF, a few Royal Navy ships, etc.

      Cold War would be awesome, but it’s going to take a lot of work to make. So many possible nations, ship classes, and how the dynamic campaign would work (my idea was all out war). There would also be an opportunity, to bring back shore bombardments, due to the Iowas being used for that.

      Maybe having online multiplayer too…., but who knows. Killerfish will decide.

          I’m not too sure on Montana, because there’s a reason it wasn’t built – the enemy fleet carriers (for example, I don’t know, Shinano) would decimate it fast.

    Question for everyone:What is everyone’s favorite destroyer type in game?,And Maybe your top 5?

    I personally like Tribals,8 Guns,Enough torpedoes for ASW,and even more effective with Hedgehogs,Only problem is the lack of torpedoes against heavy cruisers or Battleships,Which is why I typically operate them in 2 or do 1 Tribal and one JKN Per Group

    Anyway….,my top 5

    5:Type 1934/1934A
    4:Type 1936B
    3:Type 1936A/1936A(Mob)(Longest gun Range for guns,5.9 Inch guns,Though only 5)
    2.JKN Class(Like a smaller tribal,With less guns and More torpedoes)
    1.Tribal Class

    Reply
    • DigestedSine561

      1: JKN
      2: Type 1936B
      3: Type 1936
      4: Type 1934(A)
      5: Tribal
      I’ve not used the Tribal much, my preferred method of combat is a carrier, cruiser squad/battleship and a DesRon formed of three or four JKNs. Let the carrier do ASW.

    Hey Killer fish how about adding the USS Mississippi in to the game it played a key role over in the Atlantic majority of WWII before being called to the Pacific for the Leyte Gulf invasion and was the last Battleship to fire upon another Battleship in history in Battle of Surigoa Strait. The USS Alabama was in the Atlantic as well never really saw any combat but it was used to try to lure out the Tirpitz which never would come out to face it. But I’d love to see the USS Mississippi in the game

    I’ve been playing the British Campaign game. It froze at Week 0.5 October, 1943. I could not progress, nor does (multiple) hot or cold reboots solve it. After I click on “Continue”, the front screen destroyer shows, all “beginning of turn” options are available at bottom of screen, progress bar is now a series of white boxes, not blue/red. The “information” tally is accurate for progress but now, list of ships sunk is empty.

      There might be some data corruption issues when updating to 1.10, so restarting a new BotA game should resolve it.

        Yesterday it happened for the 3rd time – at different stages of BotA! Notabene: only the British BotA is affected. No probs with the German side.
        1) Immediately after updating to 1.10.
        An incompatibility between 1.09 and 1.10? Started a new BotA in 1.10.
        2) After many hours of playing: corrupted again! 🙁
        I even deleted and re-installed AF to make sure that it’s a clean version.
        3) After many hours of playing: corrupted again! :(((

        So it’s no use to play the British BotA any longer.
        Since 1.09 BotA (KM) always freezes in pursuits of merchants (after sinking the escorts) or of warships under smoke unless you waste ammo by firing in each single turn (reproduceable). Sometimes it freezes inmidst combat (not reproduceable).

        Result:
        I’m really fed up with AF. Once it was a promising game and could have become excellent with some major and minor design optimizations. But ridiculous coding mistakes and lack of testing have ruined it.

          Sorry to hear that.
          We’ve had a few reports of corrupted data in BotA games, but this is the first confirmation that it is not just an “updated to version 1.10” issue.
          Now that we know there is an ongoing issue we can attempt to address it.
          BotA Crash: this only occurs when playing the RN? Have you ever seen it with the KM?
          Pursuit Crash: still don’t understand this one. Can this be reproduced in a Single Battle? Are you saying that you are playing the KM, you sink all the escorts and it crashes on your turn, or the enemies? Need a step by step description of what is happening here.

            Corrupted Data: I usually buy 2 G / H class DD at the very start. So how can they cause the bug sometime in 1940 / 41? Don’t remember about repairs etc.

            BotA Crash: not 100% sure which side I was playing when BotA ‘crashed’ – in fact, the result was the same kind of freezing like in the Pursuit Crash. Yep, probably the RN.

            Pursuit Crash: don’t understand why you don’t understand. Maybe it would help if you played your own game? This bug has occurred in BotA only since v1.09, when the (unrealistic) ‘sink enemy ships and withdraw’ option was introduced; it cannot be reproduced in a Single Battle. Freezes in enemy turn and could be the old fleet movement bug again – but only if you don’t fire with any of your ships for 1 – 3 turns.
            Very weird.

            Pursuit Crash: Enemy Can Disengage option is on or off? Can it occur in Campaigns (a user has reported cannot finish level 40 of RN Campaign due to this issue, suggesting it can).
            Does the freeze only occur after all warships are sunk and only merchants remain? Are some of the merchants damaged/sunk when it occurs?

          • Rayydar

            > Pursuit Crash: Enemy Can Disengage option is on or off?
            ON.

            >Can it occur in Campaigns?
            I don’t play the Campaigns with their annoying limitation to 3 player ships.

            > Does the freeze only occur after all warships are sunk and only merchants remain?
            As stated several times: YES. But also in pursuit of enemy warships under smoke (no merchants involved). IMO the key is: no firing, neither by the AI nor by the player.

            > Are some of the merchants damaged/sunk when it occurs?
            Usually not, unless by a random hit. I always sink warships first.

            Why don’t you just perform a Diff between v1.08 (working fine in this respect) and v1.09?
            You must have modified something relevant in v1.09, perhaps in connection with the new withdraw option.

        • Killerfish Games

          What option settings do you use for British BotA’s that fail: 30 or 20 Player ships in Fleet? Sunk Ships Recycled by enemy On or Off and Difficulty Normal or Hard?
          Do you ever release ships from service and does the issue happen only after you’re repaired any ships? Also about what date does it occur?

            BoTA Crash: G,H Class DD’s are the suspect. Be very interested to know if a BotA RN game where you don’t buy any G, H Class DD’s gets corrupted. Or if folks experiencing the crash often buy G, H Class DDs.

    Is it normal for one torpedo to sink the CV Courageous? In multiple battles one u boat launches one torpedo and sinks the courageous on one hit it rapidly sinks. Is this a bug or is it normal? I have not tried of other carriers are sunk by one torpedo.

    Reply
    • Killerfish Games

      It can be extremely variable. Courageous is an older ship and has a poor torpedo defense system. A single torpedo hit in the centre of the ship can be devastating, while a hit to the fore/aft tends to be less likely to sink her outright.

    This game is amazing. I played PF and that game was great, and then AF comes out, and i am truly awestruck by its graphics. but I only request 3 things: a multiplayer, PT boats, and more battleships for the German navy. I think the multiplayer would work great, giving each side (consisting of 1 player each with a set amount of of ships) a time limit to plan their move. PT boats should also work well against submarines and small vessels. Last but definitely not the least is more German battleships. Why is because the British significantly outnumber the Germans in terms of battleships, making it harder to defeat the British. Some suggestions are the Wittelsbach class SMS Zahringen, sunk in 1944, and the Deutschland class SMS Schlesian, scuttled in 1945, with the SMS Schleswig-Holstein, also scuttled in 1945.

    Reply
    • DigestedSine561

      Ah, I’m not too sure. Whilst multiplayer would be fantastic, how would you fire on motor torpedo boats? I believe that they used their agility to get close but with a turn-based game they are much easier to aim at and hit – even a 6in shell would most likely kill one. Also, the German pre-dreadnoughts have either 9.4in or 11in guns. The 9,4in are not good enough for a battleship and whilst the others have 11in they only have 4 of them – not enough. If they were nicknamed ‘five second ships’ at Jutland (see the death of Pommern) how well could they stand up to a KGV-class – hell, they’d probably die to a Dido-class AA cruiser!

            Hi People, can someone tell me why in BotA, ( playing germans ) every battle i have, only 1 submarine or 1 ship is selected in the battle to fight merchants nonetheless i have several submarines or several battleships in the same zone.

            Example : in Labrador sea, I have 2 submarines and the Gneisenau : I push next turn and there is a battle occurring, and only 1 submarine is selected for the battle. Why aren’t the second submarine and the Gneisenau selected ? ( if this is important, the date is 3rd week of december 1939 )

            Thanks !!

          • Killerfish Games

            Submarines and surface ships attack independently, so only one ship type will be in the encounter.
            If surface ships attack and submarines are also in the zone, the submarines usually give the initiative to the surface ships (scouting bonus).
            If you have 2 submarines, both should enter combat. Can this be reproduced?

      • Lee

        You got a point, PT boats won’t work. To compensate for the British battleships maybe adding the Graf Zeppelin would work, as the H-39 was added, despite it not being finished. Of course the Historical accuracy option would not allow the player to use it. Maybe add the Italian battleships, as the British side got the USS North Carolina, despite it not being part of the British Fleet. Otherwise I don’t know how to balance the two fleets.

      Yes, ramming a submarine forces it to dive (and does damage, perhaps sinking it).

    I have a few cosmetic/bug issues.
    1. Superstructures explode when ships sink from flooding- looks really bad.
    2. When a superstructure is blown away any modules on it (rangefinders/etc) become indestructible. I would fix this by destroying those modules along with the superstructure.
    3. When a Magazine explodes the turret it belongs to is not destroyed. This would be very simple to add.
    4. Not a bug, but Propulsion/Steering needs to be destroyable (permanent) after all engine rooms have been hit. The ship would be scuttled after the battle if it is the only remaining ship.
    5. Also not a bug, but fires need to have their extinguishing rates based on how many fires are onboard. 1 fire would be the current rate. 2 fires would take 1.5 times. 3+ fires would take 2x.

    Isn’t there going to be some land assault maps in AF?
    I liked the island hopping in Pacific Fleet…
    After AF, will there be an overhaul/modernization for PF?
    You should use the mechanics of AF back in PF.
    Or you should put more ship classes.
    I would have liked it if you could play with the Ise-class Aviation Battleships or I-400 Sen-toku subs…
    The IJN should have gotten more subs, the Ise, the Akashi and the other ships/equipment like in AF.
    And, implement AF’s 10-ship fleet in PF… there should be a Battle of the Pacific gamemode.

How ever I get this notice when I am far away and retreating in the other direction. Is this a bug or if not what is the rage of the battle zone and how far away do I have to be to disengage?

      It’s Atlantic fleet,Japan Is 100% excluded.

      Germany does not Reallyneed new ships,I can do just fine with 4 Battleships and 26 Submarines,I’ve won 4 BoTA Campaigns with This or something similar

      What Germany lacks in Surface ships they make up for in Submarines….
      I find it Balanced anyway,Germany’s larger Surface ships are a Better then British counterparts

      idk why everyone wants Graf Zeppelin so badly,I can Easily knock out a Carrier from 25K Yards,Wouldn’t serve much purpose for the Germans

      Now Italy,Yeah it’d be nice to see some of their Ships,Would really Be nice to use The Vittorio Class to Supplement Bismarck and Tirpitz,And Would Balance out the Problems people have with the Amiunt of Battleships between the Allies and Germany

        Now, Japan actually wasn’t entirely excluded from the Atlantic Theater, the Japanese sent submarines over to occupied France on Yangai missions with supplies and blueprints of weapons for the Germans and in exchange, the Germans inspected their submarines,gave them Melox radars and sent a few officers on their submarine on the way back to japan

    When can there be a float plane mechanic. Can it be more that just a detail of a ship

      About floatplanes, looking at some of the cruisers, such as the County-class, and some battleships, they have floatplanes loaded.
      What I don’t get is when you look at a ship in the dock and it says “_x Aircraft” even though it’s a non-carrier surface ship. (same for Germany)
      What does the “_x Aircraft” stand for, and why can’t warships use floatplanes even though they’re loaded on the ship model?

        The floatplanes are listed as planes because as recon planes they do serve a purpose in the dynamic campaign. It’s just that there is no need for having player-controlled recon or artillery spotting in the tactical combat because the 3D camera already provides the same capability.

    Also in regards to the USS Montana being destroyed by the Super Yamato. There is one US ship that can beat the A-150. It’s called the Tillman IV 2 it was drawn up in early 1917. This is the statistics I could find.

    Displacement: 80,000 short tons (73,000 t)
    Length: 975 feet (297 m)
    Beam: 108 feet (33 m)
    Draft: 32 feet 9 inches (9.98 m)
    Speed: 25.2 knots (46.7 km/h; 29.0 mph)
    Main Battery: (15) 18-inch (460 mm), 50-caliber guns in five triple turrets.

      1 U.S Ship?

      Nope…..Carriers would work quite fine ,Size doesn’t matter 😉

      Seriously,No need for A-150 Ever in a Killerfish game,And I’m sure I could destroy it with an Iowa or Montana if it was,American 16 inch guns had roughly Equal Penetration power(When using Super Heavy loads) to Yamatos 18 inch guns,So Im Sure I could do Damage

      Plus,In all Practicality,A-150 would Serve no Purpose in a PF2(Which I hope is the next game,If not a Cold War game would be nice…Would be so epic,Maybe we updated AF Standards),That is If it was very Resembling of the Pacific war with Carriers being the Primary force(I’ll take 15 pls)

      But yeah,There plenty of U.S Warships that can Do Damage or Sink the A-150 in any Possible Way,would just be difficult

        A- 150 would destroy the Montana in any normal engagement. Due to the bigger guns and the distance. And carriers wouldn’t really work unless you use like 7 carriers from a distance. Also the difference is that you could only launch one plane at a time.

        • MattF4U-4

          Tru,the one plane at a time Rule is a pain,but,that’s how it’s set up

          If I could do a few it’d be fairly easy,Just depends on luck

    Question for Everyone

    What Game Are You Really hoping Killerfish is making next?

    The Most Appealig to me would be A PF 2,With any new Features they plan on addiing to the next game,Along with many of AF’s Feautures(Merchant tonnage counting as an Example,For a Pacific war Dynamic Campaign)

    One thing I’d REALLY hope for if PF 2 is next Is real Battles on land Being Able to Effect the Fleet war,Like you may have to Deploy a force of ships To support a Land invasion(Shore Bombardment needed….I loved that stuff),With the Battles Including Historical Beginning and End dates If all is going well

    If it’s the Next game I think it’d need a MUCH larger fleet limit(60+ NEEDED,OVERKILL TIME BABY!!!! XD) ,Simply due to the Size of the Fleet….in all Honesty I’d probably have 15 Carriers….Hehe

    If it is the Next game I’m hoping that There will be Multiple ways of Victory Ina Dynamic Campaign,Examples being Merchant Tonnage,Warships sunk…Territories controlled,Morale,Would require some Strategic Thinking

    Now think off How many ships there Would be XD(I’d have like All 3 Yorktowns and A Bunch of Essex’s as My main force once it could be possible 😛 )

    Obviously I’d like to see Historical Ship upgrades As they become available(though some I’d like to leave optional) for Example Enterprise at the Beginning of the war had 1.1 Inch AA and 20MMs,with 5 Inch guns as well,By the End,Most if not all 20s were removed and she had like 40-50+ 40mms and The 5 Inch guns to Combat Kamikazes

    Oh yeah,And Kamikaze attacks Becoming Important late in the war…Yeah I want to use my Epic Crashing kills to win! XD

    Many more Things I’d love to see in a New game….Just procrastinating though

    • Battleship Yamato

      The historical ship upgrades is a good idea. Also maybe being able to upgrade a ship with its original intended armament. For example the Montana class was originally designed to have 18 inch guns.

      I’d love Pacific Fleet II! So many great classes… I could go on for a while. I would like to see upgrades though; ships like Ise and Maya were significantly modified throughout the war. And a Battle of the Pacific would just be… WANT NOW!

      Only 30 ships per side, no fuel limit, AI that sucks, no missions besides convoy defense or attack. Only 10 ship convoys, Crappy CV combat, no port defense.

      Most important is the way convoy raiding is set up. All ships in convoys is really stupid. Not controlling friendly convoys is also stupid.

      Reply
      • MattF4U-4

        Ummm,Campaign only allows 10 ships per side,AI is only dumb because you haven’t turned on Elite AI Gunnery(Which I have and Battleships score A pretty good amount of hits),The fuel limit,yeah I want to see that implemented as an Option

        And the Only mission in the BoTA was Convoy Attack and Defense,Or ASW,Or the occasional battles away from convoys,Which are all in game

        What does port defense have to do with anything?

        CV Combat is Still crappy in campaign if that’s the case

        And You can control friendly convoys

        And about the 10 ship thing,That’s just game limitations

          • MattF4U-4

            Well that’s a fault with campaign as well then

            10 ships vs 10 ships in combat…how is that not enough?

            And sure 30 ships might not be enough but it’s better than 20

          • Clive

            I’d rather have 10 combat ship limits and realistic (20 ship) convoy sizes.

            For the BOTA campaign i’d like to be able to create fleets (up to 10 warships) and move them together, and then make all ships historically owned by the nation in combat.

          • DigestedSine561

            I be honest, I agree with both of you. Whilst 10v10 warships is plenty enough, it rarely gets that far – usually it’s only a solo destroyer or submarine – and whilst more ships in a convoy would be nice, they add nothing to the experience of a battle and mean that it would be easier to beat the campaign sinking 50,000t per turn. And will everyone stop hating on carriers, if they have a decent escort they are perfect – I can sink a submarine better than I can in a destroyer with a carrier and I can three-shot a battleship if I’m lucky. However I do agree with Clive on points; it would be nice to have battle groups that move in unison – it can take efforts to move seven ships per turn across three separate zones – and I also don’t like it when a damaged capital ship steaming for repairs takes up position in the centre of my destroyer group; it should be separated from the small ships. Actually, idea: have three or four preset formations and have them as default as I’m fed up with having destroyers sailing in a column with the lead ship off centre or having a capital ship with all her escorts grouped to one side.

    Af. iPad How about the merchant ships using there deck guns.when I get a u boat amongst them.its a massacre. Be much tougher if they fired at me.

    What I would like to see as the next game would be 1.) Indian Fleet because they was some naval ingagment between Britian and Japan and Germany during WWII. 2.) A WWI naval game between Germany and Britain and the United States. Or 3.) Combining the idea of Pacific Fleet 2 and Alantic Fleet 2 the game could be just the Allied Navy vs the Axis Navy in the Pacific Alantic and the Indain ocean.

    The mechanics I would like to see in the next game include more detailed ship destruction like a ship being broken in two. The ability to fire both the Main and Secondary armaments at the same time. For merchant ships to fire guns if they have them like with the Liberty Freighter. Also for merchant ships that have tanks like they C2 Freighter to be able to fire tank shells. There is a case like that happening during the PQ17 Arctic Convoy disaster.

    • MattF4U-4

      Lol,yeah,One Merchant moved an M4 Tank out onto the deck to protect itself from subs at periscope depth,Wouldn’t have been very effective but that’s what they had,and the ship was helpless otherwise(wasn’t it stuck at the time as well?)

      Reply
    • MattF4U-4

      And about the Upgraded Sinking/Breaking mechanics,That’d have to be optional in settings a because of certain devices with certain limitations p(My IPad mine for example,Would cause a lot of lag)

      An AF/AF 2 and PF 2 game would be cool,but it’d be large in size I’d imagine.then again…we’ve got quite a lot in game now and it doesn’t take up too much

      Reply
      • Clive

        Actually really easy to make a ship break in half.

        You split the model at the point of torpedo impact or magazine explosion and create two models from that, then put a generic damage skin on the “broken” areas.

        Reply
          • Clive

            Easy is relative.

            Breaking a ship in half is easier relative to making a full ship model.

          • Killerfish Games

            Splitting the model is very easy because I can just cut it up in 3dsmax. The big issue is the bouyancy physics which were never designed with ship splitting in mind. And because the bouyancy model produces nice sinking mechanics we didn’t feel like breaking it. It is definitely something that would be nice to have and perhaps we will add it in the next game we do.

  36. Clive

    Just some issues I have encountered.
    1. Where’s the option for both sides being able to disengage under 25,000 yards?
    2. AI bombers can’t hit anything, especially submarines.
    3. AI can’t hit submarines at periscope depth with gunfire

    The reason I’m so interested with the Norwegians was how hard and how long they fought against the Germans. I bet if the British and French hadn’t pulled out they would’ve pushed the Germans out of norway

      • MattF4U-4

        Not really,The Germans Were always making general progress except in the north,By the Time The Allied Expiditionary force pulled out the Germans had made considerable gains and showed no signs of stopping,Seeing as from the air they could continuously pound Enemy positions and On the ground they had more troops as it was

        If the British and French could’ve stayed,It would’ve taken longer,But the Germans would’ve taken control sooner or later
