Where can I find a list of all updates available for inspection "before" installing, in order to decide whether this update is worth and what else is missing?

I think you should always update to the latest version. Bug-fixes, additional functionality etc.
And the updates are free...

I have one small issue whit this update. perhaps related with the beta 1.7.8.

But after I update to 1.8.3. there where no tooltips anymore.

Delete of options.dat fixed this.

Yep, tooltips are gone...can we get them back? Now there is no way to know the cost of replacements or how much experience a unit has.

Sorry, but what do you think was not my question, and quite frankly, it does not interest me. I want to know what exactly was changed everything

I am probably not the only one who is just annoyed by your rude attitude.
For me it does not matter if you post in German or English, what and how you are saying is beyond acceptable standards.

If you cannot communicate in a less annoying way I actually hope that you go totally apeshit and get removed soon.

I am not a moderator and I am not obliged to deal with you at all, and so are the other posters in this forum.
You probably got it that nobody wants to talk to you, answer you or help you in any way anymore. I hope you draw the right conclusions what to do.

Actually, I just wanted to say Command No, but if you say something to me is also not relevant. I wonder where you get to read the word improvements in advance, and what's to say ... I would always install patches!
What kind of an answer to a question. Since I'm ever rude.
The question is quite simple for me ... the bugs and suggestions that I have made, have also been taken or were only unimportant as ... MG nests and bunkers can not be next to what ever placed?
What to say to me?
I would even go one step further and say that I am a German, is the English language little powerful and expecting a deuschen Support (game can also be ordered in Germany, so I even by European law a right to !!), the answered my questions. Is there such?
Question was asked in my opinion also posting. Answer open.
How many other questions also. If these were answered, I am willing to hold me back first. But until then I'll ask questions ... every day !!
And that in an English, which tells Google to me !!

as should now be known, is my English so bad that I use google. I wanted to copy the text and then let me show why the translation. that will only work if the text is available in written and not in image information.
thanks for that.

Now I have some questions about the patch:

1. What's Access to DLC manager in the main menu? what does this mean?
2. What does the bunker and MG Foxholes can No Longer be Constructed Adjacent to an enemy ground unit? When can bunker or MG Foxholes I build in the game?
3. What should explain this statement "When not in deployment phase carrier-based aircraft can be deployed next to no longer a carrier, but only inside one of its cargo slots"?
4. and what about the faulty or non-existent allocations of commanders, the remaining bugs as the Sherman Jumbo or the stuff with the torpedoes and sonar?
5. How and where you can bring in ideas for improvement?

reply about another nice pertinent I would be happy

1. What's Access to DLC manager in the main menu? what does this mean?
Check the wooden crate icon in the top right corner of the main menu. It allows us to share new (free) content such as scenarios, mods and skins in an easy way.
2. What does the bunker and MG Foxholes can No Longer be Constructed Adjacent to an enemy ground unit? When can bunker or MG Foxholes I build in the game?
It's a change to the "Defensive Doctrine" specialisation in the Japanese campaign.
3. What should explain this statement "When not in deployment phase carrier-based aircraft can be deployed next to no longer a carrier, but only inside one of its cargo slots"?
You used to be able to deploy an unlimited amount of undeployed/new aircraft on any tiles adjacent to a carrier. Now you deploy these aircraft INSIDE the carrier, provided the carrier still has cargo capacity left and it allows only 1 of them to take off during the turn of deployment.
4. and what about the faulty or non-existent allocations of commanders, the remaining bugs as the Sherman Jumbo or the stuff with the torpedoes and sonar?
There are a lot of minor fixes in the patch which we didn't list. I'm not sure what you mean by "the stuff with torpedoes and sonar" but I believe the other issues have been fixed.
5. How and where you can bring in ideas for improvement?
Just here on the forums. We try to read every post even if we can't always reply to them all.

Hello, Thanks for the answers, but even Google has, so I do not understand when translating to 2 and 3 problems there. That is why these issues in a different way provided:

1. What units can dig or bunker / MG nests (it says here in Germany) when I play the Japanese campaign?

2. Refers to the set of aircraft in the aircraft carriers on the aircraft that are purchased new after installation and can be installed if only the carrier?

3. Sorry if I say so, but be sure and somewhat knowledge are two different things as we say in German ... you can not even have an accurate list of what has been done accurately, I currently play the Japanese campaign and would because the commander and the Sherman Jumbo Extra new American launch. But I do not have time, because it takes a few days until I am where exactly the points occur?

4. What do I mean by the sonar and torpedo stuff. Quite simply, I wanted to know, Sonar has now been changed so that submarines in the resting phase for a torpedo launchers can only be located by sonar when they are right next to the cruiser. And with Torpedo stuff I meant, seen from which direction, but not of what field, the Torpedo comes. This has been discussed so times with Galangalad and so my question
