• Counters colors have been aligned with their search pattern
• No choice of speed in the search pattern anymore. Seaplanes will always be slow and others fast

• Intercepted scouts have less chance to transmit TF position
• Overcast and rain have more effects on detection
[b]Scenarios update[/b]
• Extra seaplane tenders
• Less fuel on airfields for 2P games
• Wake starts with less fuel to prevent abused rebasing to the island from US CV

• Slight improvement of Air-to-air combat table
• Observing an enemy airstrike won’t reveal the exact payload of the bombers until they reach their target. Will these G4M go for your TRS or for Henderson Field ?
• When a TF and a friendly base share the same hex, sum their heavy AA
[b]Naval bombardment[/b]
• Bombardment effects have been increased to match reality, check the rules
