Hi-Questions
1. When I was young and inexperienced at this game(yesterday?) I produced some units I thought I needed. Now I'm not so sure. Under Attachments I produced a.Capital Anti-Air.b. Anti-air.c Fire control. They are in the deployment screen.

My question is, Are these units useful? Will they be put on ships? Or, should I just disband them? Or, can they be deployed somewhere else?

2. The "Upgrade production line "X". I'm at 1/1/'37. I have 2 North Carolina BBs in production. They are due 2/30/'38 and 5/1/'39. There is an X by them.
But, the retooling has already been done. Should I upgrade production line or not? If I do, what do I get? An acceleration of the "due by" date? Or what?

Thanks, Hugh Browne

1. These are ship brigades, they can be attached to any ship subject to (a) not all spaces being already taken, i.e. DD get one briagde to BB which can have five and (b) they are allowed, i.e. DD can have ASW but not Spotter Planes and vice-versa for BB. As a note you can remove existing brigades from ships to tailor them to your needs so I wouldn't cancel them.

As to are they worth it well your in the same boat as the rest of us, we don't know yet.

Note that Improved Hull and Torpedo attachments don't currently work but that they are in the queue for the bug fix

2. I expect that the improvement '+' button is to upgrade the attachment to the BB in the queue and not the BB itself. This will improve the fire control or whatever brigade(s) you have selected and will add time to the build. The only way to find out (practically) is to hit the button. I've taken to saving the game first before I try out these new features.
