Rainer tries to pick up every drop of fuel on the whole map where it isn´t needed anymore... tanker convoy spotted here... when we´ve spotted the small convoy I´ve thought he would bring supplies but in fact only tries to take out fuel... bringing supply IMO would be a higher priority, perhaps there´s still enough around after halve a year of fighting and being cut off...

Spearfish operates against the same convoy but missed Yuzuki... our blockade is of course not 100% bullet prove but in the end very few ships are going to make it back to Japan with a load of fuel or oil... and this will become worse when we´re directly threatening Palembang, better say shipping going there as we´re planning to land on North West Borneo soon...

ordered our two cruiser squadrons at Iloilo to bombard Clark field today and when I´ve thought this would be the first thing to pop up I get surprised by CD fire from BATAAN... WHAT? Have the Japanese rebuilt Corregidor or what? And what are my cruisers doing? They should move to Clark and not Bataan... ok, we´ve just found out that ships going to Clark field have to PASS THROUGH Bataan and if they do this, they get targetted by Japanese CD guns... well, I´ve thought that would be true if my ships would go to Manila but not if they move to a hex NORTH (in the game) of Bataan... it was more than a nasty surprise but the ships got away with light damage...

ok, tonight still was an Allied victory... I sure didn´t expect my cruisers to do any damage at Clark after their long duells with 13th Base force at Bataan as I expected them to be both short on op points as well as ammo, in fact I expected them to head back to Iloilo right after being targetted at Bataan... but no, the cruisers take out Clark Field as if there would have been no CD fire at Bataan at all... so in the end it worked out well for us, but that was the first and only naval bombardment here as I don´t want to pass through Bataan another time which means Bataan, Manila and Clark Field are safe, at least in terms of naval bombardments...

god damn, I should have known better, of course the task forces are also targetted by Bataan´s CD on their way back and this time it turns out even worse as we hit more mines and the enemy achieves quite some 15cm hits on our ships... it again proves to be a good idea to only use Fletcher class DDs in the frontline as all those shell hits nearly did no damage as most of them were just bouncing off the destroyer´s armor... phew, lucky... many superstructure hits and halve of the task force has to head back to Darwin for repairs...

the smaller TF gets away with no damage... it was quite amazing how much this single base force can dish out and Rainer said he was as surprised as me to see Bataan´s CD fire on my cruisers going to Clark field (impossible to route them around Bataan with waypoints btw), otherwise he would have placed more CD and more mines there...

lol, all enemy bombers failed to locate this TF (that´s a single, damaged destroyer that was split off it´s task force) but the fighters that actually FAILED to escort the bombers that FAILED to locate the task force (lol, the whole game is more or less a FAIL all the time) show up over the destroyer to be welcomed by a good dozen Thuds that were leaking out of Iloilo... being outnumbered the P-47 still down the enemy at a 3:1 rate which is not too bad in this case...

only one Thunderbolt left, a pity not more DDs were left behind as their radar could have picked up the incoming strikes and a lot more fighters could have leaked out from Iloilo to further increase the enemy´s losses today... I shouldn´t complain, we´ve destroyed enough enemy ac today and were really lucky it didn´t turn out worse at Bataan... of course it could have also gone better at Bataan as it so far pretty much was the best CD result (in combination with mines) against Allied warships...

while we kill more enemy fighters over the target, we also lose a couple of Mustangs with more of them crashing on the way home due to damage... in the end we trade Mustangs with enemy fighters on a 1:1 ratio with is not satisfying at all considering a replacement rate of 30 per month... the feeling of having too few airframes of certain types hasn´t changed since the beginning of the war... we´ve got plenty of Hellcats (carrier use only), more than enough B-24 now and received a lot of P-47 which aren´t going to the Pacific anymore though... but the rest? Usually we feel the loss of a dozen aircraft, no matter if Corsairs, P-38, or other frontline aircraft. Of course we´ve got ample TBF and SBD in the pool as the enemy refused to end up in range of them for the whole war so these are not doing anything but sitting around idle...

while I´m still trying to minimize my losses as much as possible (that´s what I´ve been doing for the whole war), the loss of say 50 Corsairs in one day would completely drain my pools... the loss of 50 British Thunderbolts would be irreplacable and the worst thing I could imagine in terms of aircraft losses would be to see 50 B-29 being lost...

oh, that´s great indeed. I´m stuck with APDs to carry troops in fast transports and got a couple of fast AVD to carry 250 supplies each, hence fast transport wasn´t used very often during the whole war. When I´ve used it earlier, once the TF got stuck due to the damned movement bug and the whole TF of APDs was promtly sunk of course.

the difference in performance between Zekes and Georges/Jacks is IMO really a big one, same goes for Oscar and Tojo/Frank and I would not be keen on seeing the IJNAF flying George/Jack exclusively so I´m not that unhappy with a somewhat restricted upgrade path even with PDU on. Just to point out, I´m stuck with restricted upgrades too with quite some of my squadrons, many USMC squadrons that fly Corsairs can´t be up/downgraded. I have to admit that it´s something different if you´re "stuck" with Corsairs instead of being stuck with Zekes...

Every IJ player should definately focus on Frank for IJAAF and George/Jack for IJNAF frontline squadrons IMO, especially in the frontline when in range of lots of Allied short range fighters. Guess Frank/George/Jack take 1/3 less losses while inflicting 1/3 more within the enemy. Of course if you run into superior numbers that get a radar/dive/kill loop then nothing is going to help you and your pilots die as easily in a Zeke as they do in a Jack...

ah, the turn didn´t turn out as good as expected... St. Lo has been damaged earlier and was on her way to Darwin to be repaired by one of the three ARD there (another one is en route and is going to arrive within the next three weeks) when the escort carrier was sighted and succesfully attacked by I-30... the angry escorts take revenge and the sub is sunk while I feared to hear the sound for a ship sinking right after but the CVE staid afloat while being heavily damaged... ordered to disband into one of the level 4 ports just North of Darwin for emergency repairs tomorrow...

What about kamikazes, you have broken into the inner defensive perimeter by now but I haven't seen them in action yet!?

thanks, I´m surely going to be on Formosa within the next three months at the latest, at least that´s the plan. The game is four weeks ahead the AAR now and we have seen the first unit of Sallies doing a kamikaze attack, which totally caught me by surprise as I´ve thought I would have to be further North to activate them. Didn´t matter as the attack failed though.

The next couple of weeks/months are going to see a three major operations, timeline only depends on the travel/loading time of my two invasion convoys with nearly 200 ships, all APA/LSD/AKA/LST, perfectly suited for my invasions to drop halve a dozen divisions plus a hell a lot of support and supplies wherever I want in a day or two.

then, after firing 20 torps, one hits this tanker... in return the sub is knocked out with 29 sys 43 flt 11 eng... how´s the targetting working with one or two torps in mods like DaBabes? It just doesn´t look like realistic in stock when you always fire such salvos, let alone the fact that a salvo of six torps would hardly miss a tanker... in the end, the hit/sunk rate might be ok though, just not the look of it...

mmm... it isn´t... it´s the already well known bug of the same fighters showing up again and again and again... in this case, the Lightnings show up a dozen times today (and take part in combat, so that´s not a display glitch), only the Corsairs are different...

these squadron sized strikes following a WITP sized strike first is nothing but annoying... when the main strike doesn´t look realistic then there´s no need to have this peace meal strikes following as it doesn´t make it any more realistic, it just is annoying and time consuming...

Japanese Unit(s) Wiped Out at Malaybalay by attrition!!!


we take the important oilfields at Miri against more or less no opposition at all... I still don´t understand why Rainer isn´t defending Northern Borneo at all cost... even with the loss of KB some time ago, he just had to fortify and garisson these bases to make them hold out forever as this now really closes down all hopes for the Japanese to bring home some fuel... next step will be an invasion next to Palembang...

the enemy base force put up quite a fight with the cruisers again, scoring lots of superstructure hits that ripped off secondary armament and radar installations... some of my cruisers are going to spend two weeks for repairs, otherwise the landing goes well again...

it seems that the cruisers usually start running low on ammo after the night phase because landing phases later on usually suffer more from CD fire (I bet that´s due to the warships being low on ammo)... three LST are in sinking condition, another two have hit reefs...

Lightning and Mustang squadrons have been set to sweep, coming in as always, in bits and pieces, not being able to fly in squadron size... this aspect got a real problem, no matter what ppl tend to say about it... it´s totally flawed...

an exceptional result for the undergunned Mustangs, the dive made it happen though... attacking empty bases without radar works pretty well, I wouldn´t want to see the result with radar for the enemy, kill ratio probably being upside down...

ordered Hanoi´s P-38 to sweep a couple of troops two hexes North of Canton but still no leaking Cap... 100+ fighters reported at Canton... I won´t attack Canton directly as it always turned out that the IJ launched all available fighters on Cap when I´ve thought they all would be stood down when we´ve constantly failed to draw leaking Cap... I still fail to figure out how to prevent fighters from leaking out though...

the enemy resists another attack but seems to have lost all combat power as our troops take only very few losses... next attack should do the trick...

moved lots of medium bombers to Balikpapan to attck the bases around Kuching as we´re planning to land at Singkawang next, there is only very light enemy opposition in this area so it should pretty much be a cake walk... there are a medium sized airfield at Palembang and Singapore but I doubt the enemy will even think about flying against our fleet as we´re again going to cover the invasion with the full might of our CV fleet... knocking out the small airfields around Kuching should further reduce the threat of enemy airstrikes while these bases here haven´t got enough air support anyway to become a real threat...

between all these boring strikes I´ve nearly missed the next B-29 attack... while I prefer to use the B-29 for strategic attacks only I´ve thought there would be a good chance to strike at this airfield on Formosa as recon only reported three dozen bombers there... no bombers were hit and some fighter bombers probably coming from Takao showed up... hit rate of the B-29 was poor too considering carrying a huge payload and being flown by the best available bomber pilots...

ordered three Fletchers from Jesselton to pursue a convoy that made it quite a distance East from Cam Ran Bay without being attacked by USN long range bombers and our destroyers make contact during bad weather and wreck havoc within the enemy tanker convoy at close range... 5 inch shells light up the fuel loaded tankers and two subchasers are neither a threat to our Fletcher class DDs nor are they able to keep the destroyers from using the tankers as practice targets for both torpedo and gunfire... the whole TF is whiped out... such a high speed move racks up high sys and eng damage though and usually I´ve got to replace the DDs with a new squadron after one such attempt...

oh how much I hate this silly strike routine... unfortunately our carriers ended up just in range for dozens of failed escort attempts of yet another LBA strike... what´s the reason for such a silly routine? Sorry to call it silly, but that´s just what it is... 200 fighters sweeping here, probably the same number returned to the carriers which means there were around 400 fighters trying to escort a LBA strike against a target where the next enemy fighter is based 180 miles away... despite the attempt to escort LBA strikes with carrier aircraft all the time being silly already, the fact that they fail doing so 100% makes it completely ridicoulos...

but hey, just stupid castor´s oppinion and I´m not much more than someone trying to tell the comunity "it´s all broken"...

no, this aspect isn´t broken, just look how well it works... or is it the silly player again?

obviously not... means the game is designed in a way that you´ve got to stand down all other air strikes in an area (or all the carrier fighters) if you don´t want to see them doing silly escort attempts that got nothing to do with reality at all...

Afternoon Air attack on TF, near Iba at 76,72

Weather in hex: Severe storms

Raid detected at 23 NM, estimated altitude 3,000 feet.
Estimated time to target is 6 minutes

Japanese aircraft
A6M5 Zero x 10



No Japanese losses



Aircraft Attacking:
10 x A6M5 Zero sweeping at 1000 feet

the enemy then tries to attack our destroyers, of course starting off with failed escort attempts... heck, this game got severe problems in some aspects and the one who denies that got a problem too...

the game isn´t broken, noone is saying that, but there are routines that are nothing but flawed from A-Z and that´s a fact... and to support that fact, there are 46 pages of combat reports that prove this... something for the "morbid curiosity"...

of course I already could hear for the failed attempt here, the Zeroes were set to 1000ft, this can´t work... yeah...

all the air routines need are sane strike routines and a toned down dive effect which also should make escort mission somewhat realistic which would then probably also eliminate those 20-30:1 kill rate loops for fighter vs fighter engagements...

oh well, nothing is ever going to happen as it is seen as better than perfect... I would like to have such an ego... I´m only given a bitching habit...

all other changes in the air routines compared to WITP can only be called well done IMO and that´s not meant sarcasticly...

I´ve moved my carriers further North to act as an airstrike sponge to suck up airstrikes instead of seeing my DDs (that whiped out the tanker convoy) attacked but no strikes were flown against the closer and spotted carriers while the destroyers were still attacked... with only halve a dozen Vals in bad weather it didn´t matter...

Re going via Bataan:
It was brought up in early days, firstly that the Clark hex represents both Subic Bay & Clark Field. IRL you could bombard Subic but Clark was well out of range. Some far smarter people than me edited pwhex to make them 2 hexes. Secondly you dont pass the main batteries around the southern tip of Bataan to get to Subic and if you want to defend Subic you place your defeders there.

Very interesting game and comments, 1 think the game is about 98% right, there just some annoying bits that need work.

hey Pauk, nice to see you around.

Naval bombardments were tweaked in AE, we damned players found a way to get back to the nuking bombardments though. Not as often as we were used to in WITP but still. I think how AE treats nav bombardments was also a step forward, one of many.

it definately wasn´t bad, it just has been surprising (to me as well to my opponent ) that my cruisers passing by Bataan suddenly drew a hell a lot of CD fire. It has just been a comment on how the game works and that it has surprised me, without looking at a WWII map and the location of all CD I couldn´t tell you from memory which battery could reach out to hit this or that TF moving to a place in that region.

AE is a big improvement over WITP, like you said there are still things to be done IMO. I wouldn´t give it a 98% though, rather a 90-95% which isn´t a bad result at all. What annoys me the most aren´t the things I think would be flawed but the comments telling me they would work just perfect.

AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR Jul 06, 44
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the difference in performance between Zekes and Georges/Jacks is IMO really a big one, same goes for Oscar and Tojo/Frank and I would not be keen on seeing the IJNAF flying George/Jack exclusively so I´m not that unhappy with a somewhat restricted upgrade path even with PDU on. Just to point out, I´m stuck with restricted upgrades too with quite some of my squadrons, many USMC squadrons that fly Corsairs can´t be up/downgraded. I have to admit that it´s something different if you´re "stuck" with Corsairs instead of being stuck with Zekes...

Every IJ player should definately focus on Frank for IJAAF and George/Jack for IJNAF frontline squadrons IMO, especially in the frontline when in range of lots of Allied short range fighters. Guess Frank/George/Jack take 1/3 less losses while inflicting 1/3 more within the enemy. Of course if you run into superior numbers that get a radar/dive/kill loop then nothing is going to help you and your pilots die as easily in a Zeke as they do in a Jack...






The problems with George, Jacks, Tonys and Franks are the same that occur with the early corsair and P38. The "3" service rating makes them very dangerous to use at forward bases-especially for Japan as any disabled planes are then prime target for hammering by Allied heavies. They are better used in rear bases-especially those located on a rail line as disabled planes can magically then be loaded up on flat cars and whisked away on a moments notice. At a forward base after a massive battle-even if the Japanese defender wins the air fight, there will be tons of fighters damaged and on the tarmac. This is when you bomb.

The difficulty for japan is they really have no choice but to use these planes at forward bases some of the time whereas a careful Allied player can avoid this or just make the base too deadly for Japanese bombers.

Then again, they don't seem to be running short of these planes......

while I´ve put much attention on the service rating early on and during the time when radar wasn´t working, I don´t care about it at all now and the same is what I´m thinking about Japanese aircraft with high service ratings because you can keep them at low (say 30) Cap level and all of them are going to scramble with radar anyway. And higher Cap settings doesn´t work well anyway because your pilots will drop dead due to fatigue.

I´ve got not problem with my service rating 3 fighters to keep them on Cap and I suppose it´s the same for the Japanese as long as they manage to get over the 250 av support which is what they surely have at all their major airfields.

21 Oscars in a fighter bomber role were sent to attack my ships at Iloilo... pretty much a hopeless mission, could only think about a Nate or Claude to be a worse fighter bomber... Rainer told me this was a test... lol, lots of testing going on...

same here, a test... but what is he testing? That his aircraft are easy to down? We get lots of easy kills but I was pretty much shocked by the small number of fighters on Cap, we´ve got nearly 400 fighters with different Cap settings at this base, so having only 60 in the air isn´t what I would expect...

and a convoy off Mindanao´s coast also was attacked but leaking Cap took out the Oscar fighter bombers... more than 40 enemy aircraft shot down for no loss, hope Rainer is doing more of these tests...

failed escorts coming in from Brunei, strike coming from Cotabato... my usual thinking about this as being silly when Brunei and Cotabato are separated by something like 500+ miles... why would fighters from on Borneo try to escort bombers from Mindanao? You do in the game when you end up having fighters in range... just fo find out to fail most of the time which isn´t even a surprise...
