New:

New submod, "TTE Reduced Air attack" has been added
Every single merchant has had their cargo capacity added to their image, which should make picking and targeting merchants easier.
IJN AAA and aircraft defensive gunners have been nerfed, as they were far too powerful.
Reworked AI now applies to OM aircraft.
New parameters from the past two version of the game have been added, including: Damaging hull neighbors, Radar is now on by default, AI Aircraft now prioritize carriers merchants and battleships, fighters now fight in both vertical and horizontal planes, and more.
Additionally, AAA and Aircraft have received a complete overhaul. The US now has deadly long range, but slow firing, Bofors and Oerlikons for close range. The IJN has the type 96. Albeit, a lot of them. Aircraft stats and payloads have been significantly reworked to match historical figures, as well as balancing them with the AAA and other aircraft. Finally, the plane replenishment rate and range of AI airfields has been reduced to make pesky air attacks less common, but still punishing.
Submarine ambushes have also been changed so that they are further away.
New aircraft and ships from both the base game and modders have been added as well.

New submods:
*New Submod: ONI 209 desginations*
Base mod now uses original names for transports, but enabling this submod will give you a more "Silent Hunter" type feel to the game

*New TTE all planes submod, author Me, "Chimaera"
Allows the player to launch several squadrons almost at once, in exchange for a very long cool down time. Now you have to carefully think about which targets to prioritize, as you might only get 2-3 strikes per day. Also allows the AI to launch all it's planes at you, so be careful. They will send less individual strikes at you, but there will be more planes per strike.

* New AI rework , author "reisthebest"
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2670257460
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2670257205
Dive Bombers:
Now start the dive at 2.3 Km
Increased dive angle to 70-80
Torpedo Bombers:
Now drop ~1 km from the target
Medium/Heavy Bombers:
Now only drop payload from 3 km+
The player can still do skip bombing, must be done manually.
Campaign:
Starting height to all aircraft from 1 km to 2.5 km
Enemy airfields ranges increased to 1200km. The players can now be expected to be attacked by bombers in Guadalcanal from Rabaul or new Hebrides as it was IRL.

* The amazing Berserk sound mod is now coming with TTE with a simple jSGME installation method. Author "Berserk"

* Merchants real names submods created (japan and allied ships)

Other features:
Merchants catalogue images updated, author "Ezequiel"

Cells repaired at sea limited to 50% integrity added to TTE base mod.

Cells repaired at sea limited to 50% integrity and no subsytem repaired at sea added to TTE realism submod options.

Added mod descriptions "pop up" to JSGME.

Jake is now a regular scout again

New planes models added by "Nafeiji": Val with airbrakes working; Devastator with a rear gunner; Betty; Dauntless.

1 - Introduction:

The Tokyo Express is a modification overhaul for War on the sea, with focus in historical facts and adding new features to offer the player a more immersive and fun experience.

2 - Main features:

2.1 Campaign experience.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2612436048 - Map reworked with new ports. The player can now recruit ships from Australia. The ports added are: Cooktown; Cairns; Lae and Buna.
- Sea missions reworked coming from different locations ( Truk; Pearl Harbor; Australia)
- Say hello to "the Tokyo express": Many missions were designed to reach their location at night to simulate what it was the Guadalcanal campaign IRL.
- In TTE all night battles are deadly, fought in close quarters.
- The american campaign starts at 5 August, 1942 to give enough time for the players to reach Guadalcanal at day 7 if they wish. The japanese campaign starts at 7 August, 1942 with the american troops already landed at Guadalcanal fighting to mantain control at Henderson Field. Both campaigns start with Henderson Field already being a level 1 airfield so be very careful. I strongly recommend to make your invasions at night.

Economy rework.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2612410875 - TTE feature a complete new economy system where the focus is to encourage the player in invest in upgrading the bases and capturing more locations to improve the week earnings.
- Each player will get each week some base CP + a value per each base owned by the player + a value for each airfield/port level the player have.
- Now each campaign difficulty level will give a complete different challenge with all variables reworked. The player can always check the values in the rules tab at any moment in the campaign map. If want to lower the difficulty or raise don't forget to start a new campaign.
- Sinking ships will still give the player some CP, but very little in comparison with stock game. (note: elite difficulty will give no CP for sinking enemy ships)

*The idea behind the "economy rework" is to remove the "snowball" effect from the game. In stock game the "snowball" effect translates in the player getting all the CP for sinking enemy ships. With more CP earned more ships are purchased, with more ships in game more enemy ships are sunk and in a few weeks all major enemy ships sunk and the player is sailing in a power fleet.

TTE replenish carrier planes & refund mechanic:
- To replenish the planes in the carriers the player needs to release the carrier from command. When the dockyard period is over the player can then buy the carrier again.
- The player will get 100% the refund value only when the dockyard period is over.

2.2 New units.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2612469143 - TTE feature new 3D models added to the game.
- Only historical ships and planes from the time period will be used.

Ships: Ise, Fuso, Nagato, Hosho, Lexington, Bogue, Colorado, New Mexico, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Chitose, Nisshin, Akitsu Maru, Kitakami, Zuiho, Hiyo, Ryuho Type-A and Type-C, Clemson, Clemson APD, Queen Elizabeth, Tribal, Jervis, Ryujo, Town & Crown Colony class cruisers, Omaha, S-class, St. Louis subclass & many new merchants.

Planes: A5M4, P38 lightning, A6M2-N, A20, Emily, Catalina, G3M, E14y ki43, ki45, B25, P40, P39, B24, Beaufighter, Sunderland, h6k, Mariner, J2F Duck, Beaufort, Ki49, j1n1

A big thx to KFG for is support to the modding community, Teslaman, Chimaera, Nafeij, Sael, SteelShadow, RamZn2 and all the other WOTS modders that made this possible.

Note: This is a work in progress by our modders so expect to see some strange things with the new ships. We are aware of all the issues and we are working hard to implement changes in a near future.

2.3 Air Power I, the carriers.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2612458204 - Many new carriers, light carriers and seaplane tenders added to the game.
- Historical planes loadouts for all the carriers with the values added to the carriers names.
- Submod added to make it possible to launch 24 planes squadrons from carriers. The maximum air size was increase from 24 in stock game to 73 planes per side in battle.
- Scouting ranges increased to 400km.

2.4 Air Power II, planes stats and historical loadouts.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2612477681 - Many new planes added to the game from the time period.
- Rework stats for all the planes. Historical ferry ranges, maximum speed and climb rates applied to all planes. Dive rate doubled for all planes.
- Medium/heavy bombers speed has been changed to cruising speed, and small bombers speed nerf 10% to make them balanced against fighters and to simulate the payload weight. Range is affected according to the payload weight.
- New loadouts options for all fighters and scouts. Historical squadrons size applied in TTE: Heavy bombers 6 planes; Allied fighters 4 planes; Scouts 1 the remaining 3 planes.
- Submod added to remove rockets from the game since they were not used in 1942.
- Submod added ro remove loadouts from scouts & fighters.

2.5 Air Power III, the airfields.
The airfields planes loadout were changed for most of them to their historical use IRL.
Expect to see:
- Exclusive floatplanes bases, mixed or only regular airfields.
- Japanese navy airfields and japanese army airfields.
- British planes in Australia and Milne Bay. Sunderlands in floatplanes bases when upgraded to level 2.
- 4th squadron added for each location.

Airfield changes:

BOUGAINVILLE [Mixed]
BUKA
CAPE GLOUCESTER [Mixed]

2.6 New sea formations.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2551787673 Now all fleets will use the new formation system from my previous mod. Expect to see dds scouting , a better convoy system and capital ships well defended. Transport numbers reduced to prevent AI spamming troops. (version 3.0)

2.7 Silent hunter experience.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2404299107 Sonar reworked to make it easier to detect subs. Dive rate improved a little. Crush depth reworked. Historical test depth. Sub visibiliby reworked. The player should now be able to run on the surface in dark night conditions without being spotted. Careful if around 1500m or less from an enemy. Now you as sub captain will face the same problems they had at ww2 when attacking surface fleets. Sometimes you will find yourself in a difficult position to attack. What you will do? Launch the attack from a long distance or rush in the surface to get into a better position?

2.8 Environment rework.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2638722951 Several parameters tweaked to give a more dark atmosphere to the night. Slighty reduced visibillty underwater. Vastly increase the trees number and size. Reshade implementation to further improve the visuals quality for both day , night and sunset/sunrise battles,

2.9 Guns, Bombs and armor rework.
- Data from navweaps.com used to rework the: rate of fire, train rate and elevation rate for all guns to historical values. Dual purpose function applied to guns with this capability IRL. All ships main battery horizontal gun arcs reworked with much more wider angles of attack.

NOTE:
- The AA shells used by the big caliber guns on the japanese ships during in ww2 doesn't exist in game so they don't get dual purpose function.
- To prevent issues with performance mentioned by KFG the fastest reload time should be 5 seconds.
- There is conflicting data when looking to some stats in navweaps. In this situations i used an average value. As an example some guns have different reload times if used against planes or ships.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2612414371 - Planes loadouts fixed in the information panel with the historical bombs names, penetration and damage values.
- Now all bombs have a penetration value that is needed to defeat the ship armor. The values for penetration are based on historical data but not 100% correct and may suffer changes in the future with more research or for balancing reasons.
https://steamcommunity.com/app/1280780/discussions/0/3053988173733013755/

TTE armor rework:
- All deck armor is added to a single value.
- Bridge and turret roof armor added.
- Upstacks & funnel armor added.
- Bulkheads internal armor added.
- Barbettes maximum thickness used for the magazines side armor on BBs.
- Bulkheads thickness used for magazine side armor on cruisers.
- Armor inferior to 20mm is not relevant and is removed.
- Turtleback armor added to the belt armor without any slope values.*
*Only considered if the turtleback protect the ship vital areas from the waterline.

*Note: This a WIP with many ships being added, much information needs to be researched and applied to the game.

3 - Minor features:

- Historical Japanese torpedo ranges.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2669888804 - The mod menu screen.

But with all things in life, there is a beginning and an end, and it's time to pass the torch.

To Chimaera and the other staff members , i wish you guys the best luck.

Happy hunting, the Baron.

Suggest coming to the discord for help. It sounds like you might be running other submods that would conflict with all planes.

OM is slightly outdated, and as a result doesnt have the correct files for the New Merchants. Plus, Tesla is on vacation so we can't fix it right now. In the meantime, i recommend using reisthebest Compatibility tool to fix these problems

I noticed that the old 3D model for the Ise-class battleships (from before KFG officially added them) is still present, along with the old "ise_bb" unit folder. Meanwhile the Fusos and the Nagatos are present with their new models. Have you updated the Ises to the new standard yet?

We are aware of the issue, and it should be fixed in the next update. No we don't have a timeline on that yet.
