I just got "Superior Turret Optics" and it (appears to) give me nothing; I'm still on 0.52 at the moment - can I assume this is fixed in 0.53, or have a found a buglet? :)

Not sure about 0.52 but in 0.53 its only purpose seems to be as a prerequisite for Post-Treaty Battleship.

Well, that's more than it does in 0.52, so 'fixed'.

Sub Tech Question

Other than the obvious submarine techs...

Pressure Hulls
Torpedoes
Batteries
Periscopes
Engines


What are some of the 'must have' techs for the sub tech tree that I am developing? MDow

Air conditoners, snorkels, deck guns (?)

Got deck gun and schnorkles in there.

Was air conditioning invented during this time period? I know that it is a tech that is already in the exsisting tree, but I don't know when Carrier started making AC units. I thought it was earlier than our time frame. MDow

The A/C's could be pre-36, I don't recall. But upgrades to them, especially for subs, should be a tech, allowing for greater operational time at sea (range I suppose in game, and/or reduced supply consumption). Also, at the higher end techs, air filtration and recycling should be included.

I will put in the A/C as a requirement for the advanced submarines at the end of the war that are going to be submerged for long periods of time. I have also included two levels of air scrubbers in the tree. The first level are chemical scrubbers like OBA canisters, and the second would be chemical scrubbers where the air is pumped across crystals of some chemical (I am still doing research on that one). Could be an interesting interconnection with the industrial tree. MDow

Fixed for the next version. The quick fix is to replace 6112 with 6723. That will solve your problem. Thank you for reporting it. MDow
 
Here I come with the annoying portuguese navy! Well, actually it's about the name of the destroyer unit in portugal.inc. (maybe this should go in the discussion thread, but as it was MDow who put that in...)

Anyway. Where did you come up with the name for the unit? Did you auto-translate? I'm asking because 'destructor' isn't the portuguese name for a destroyer. You might say 'destróieres' if you're an anglophile die-hard (or brasilian :p). But in Portugal the term is 'contratorpedeiro' (pl. 'contratorpedeiros').

Of course, it's great those ships are in, but I thought it would help if they were named more correctly. Hope this post doesn't sound all arrogant, because that's not the intention.

Now, any chance those 3 subs might make it in somehow? :D

Thank you for the correction. I don't know any Portugese, and I found that somewhere. Was the rest of the unit name correct? Is there something more appropriate?

Give me the details (and a Portugese name for the unit :D) and I will look at getting it in there for 0.6. MDow

I'd go with '1a Flotilha de Contratorpedeiros', if it's not too long (must check in-game). Or maybe even use roman numerals, so 'I Flotilha'. But I have no real solid base to this, just keeping in the style of HOI unit names. I'm sure the portuguese navy had quite a pompous name for those ships when they were all together. ;)

The only thing I really know about them is: they were submarines, and there were three of them. Oh, and they were built before 1936. Could anyone help out? They could be given the name '1a Flotilha de Submarinos' or '1a Flotilha de Submersíveis'. Or scrap the 'flotilha' if I can figure out a better name... :)

BTW, on tech: what kind of ships are the first two cruiser models in the tech tree? What I mean is: to what time period do those ships belong? (by major power standards, not the Bhutan battle fleet ;) )
 
Yet another portuguese navy post

I started a game with Portugal in 0.53 and noticed something. POR gets 1,000 ton destroyer tech, but not the 102mm Naval gun, which is a prerequisite.

Was this intentional?

I will check that out and see if it works. Good to know that someone actually checks these minor nations that can get caught in the cracks. :)

The first (level 0) cruiser is a revenue cruiser. Equivilent of a locally built coast guard cutter. This is in there because it is impossible to remove cruisers from a countries building availability.

The second (level 1) is a protected cruiser. This is equivilent to sloops (in the British tradition) or gunboats (in the American tradition). These are small (4000 tons), lightly armed warships designed for foreign stations in time of peace and convoy (or other) light duty during wartime.

The names come from around WWI, but the concepts are from the interwar period. MDow

Nope. I will fix that before the next release. MDow
 
More 0.6 Information

Here is some more stuff that has been added/corrected for the next version...

Fixed Revenue Cruiser in Model.txt

Added French Construction

Corrected Danish Naval OOB

Corrected Norweigan Naval OOB

Corrected Finn Naval OOB

Modified and Expanded Soviet Battleship Events

Brainstorm of Submarine Tech Tree Completed

Hope that keeps y'all happy for the time being :D MDow
 
I think I found the info on the POR subs.

"2a Esquadrilha de Submersíveis"

"Delfim" class:
Std. surfaced displacement: 800 t.
Full load: 1,092t

Dimensions: 69.23 x 6.5 x 3.86 meters

Machinery : Vickers diesel; 2 el. motors; 2300bhp/1000shp = 16.5 kts surface; 9.25 knots submerged

Armament: 6 x 21-inch torpdo tubes (4 bow, 2 stern), 1 x 4" deck gun, 2 x MG [conning tower]

Range : dunno. anyone?

Complement: 36

3 built before 1936 (DELFIM, ESPADARTE II and GOLFINHO II), programme called for 5 more and a submarine tender, to be built from '36 onward. Those were cancelled. (darn) :p

There was also:

"1a Esquadrilha de Submersíveis"

3 WWI subs for pierside training. :)
"Foca" class.
260-tons, 2 x 18-inch TT of Laurenti-Fiat type built in Italy.
FOCA, GOLFINHO I, HIDRA. Replaced in active service by "Delfim" class.
Scheduled for retirement 1937.

EDIT: fixed a typo, added names of "Delfim" ships.
