So this is a Focus Pacific Mod that seems pretty bleeding-edge. Para and GP were asking for someone to work the side of Japan over and kick the tires. So I kinda feel like kicking a tire or three <grin>.

We started an initial T1 but I 4got to set the Unit Withdrawals off... I just kicked out a 2nd T1 that is @ least really-really close to my 1st one. I might-coulda 4got a couple of clicks but I think I was pretty close.

So in this mod there is lotsa, what feels to me like, crazy additions for Japan. First of all, Russia has oil. Lotsa oil... I'm gunna get me some.

I'm going after subs on turn 1 plus a normal attack of PH with an enhanced KB.

I'll post random things that I find in the mod but it really looks like a Japanese fanboy mod from what I can see.

So check this out! I so have to put together a SCTF with these...

It really isn't a fan boy mod, but rather one which attempts to (ahistorically) make the war more balanced for both sides. I've been following an aar which extended to around march/April and it's no picnic for the Japanese. With the Soviets active from day one, plus the new P-50s and French aircraft you're going to face a much, much harder early air campaign. Plan on losing a lot of fighters especially. The version I saw had serious resource shortfalls (to the extent of needing to shut off most naval construction in early '42) because of the need for massive factory buildups, but there have been some attempts to rebalance that. You're going to be fighting an intense many front war from day one, and while your navy is definitely better than stock there are many new allied toys too.

I'm excited to see it though, and I wish you luck.

I wonder if you sweeps might have been more effective set to a lower altitude. While altitude is king, maneuver bands help. Since you were out numbered in most, it probably would not matter much.

So the Russian Front:

I've got the 6th and 20th Armies moving up from Hailar to Chita.

I'm gathering a strong force heavy in infantry divisions to punch across towards Voroshilov.

The 4th & 53rd Divisions @ Osaka are planning for Petropavlovsk and loading aboard an amphibious TF.

I will be sweeping hard and fast going after the Russian fighters and then trying to close down their air fields.

I'll be going for oil from Russia ASAP as that is the closest spigot to my home islands.

That's where I'm planning my offensive too. What is your stance on China right now? I'm sending the SNLF forces to Shanghai to use for elsewhere but otherwise I'm thinking of going into a holding pattern. I'm thinking of pulling as much out of China while not having to give up ground and send those troops to the Russian front.

I'm gunna drive hard and fast in China too.

In Burma I need to capture enough to reduce supplies to China.

My uppercut is gunna start way down at the knees of China and come up to the chin of Chungking.

For Russia I want to strip them of their fighters and pound the crap outta them while throttling supplies to that big glug of troops down near the port of Vladivostok.

All of this on top of still going for the DEI in a big way... We have all of those troops so I'm gunna use them. I'm not so concerned about oil/fuel with so much available in Russia and the DEI. I'm freaking a bit about the resource numbers... But the whole point was to push hard and see if it breaks... We'll see. There is a lot of resources on the map, I just want to be smart in setting up the convoys. I was looking at the Russian fighters... Most of 'em have armor... And the Mig just hurts my feelings... lol.

8 DEC 41

Regarding Air Combat
Air combat has been staggering. I went in expecting my Zeros to kick arse - especially against the Russian & French AC… None of my sweep coordinate. I mean none… The only coordination I see sometimes is between bombers and bombers and/or fighters. I'm gunna have to knock down the airfields instead of expecting my zeroes to trash his fighters. It is weird to see these French and Russian AC going toe-2-toe with the Zero and come out ahead or break even.
This is not the aerial cake-walk I was expecting.

I've got 6 divisions ear-marked for Malaya.

I'm pushing the 15th Army up to Burma.

China I've got a lot of garrison troops so I'm moving square pegs into square holes.

KB is headed home now after 2 days of attacks.

My troops have arrived @ Hong Kong.

And look who I bagged trying to make a run along the northern coast of Borneo...

That's what I was trying to tell you. The early allied fighters are much, much better than stock. In particular the P-50 is able to perform high altitude sweeps and get the dive bonus and it is extremely effective. If you can find where he bases these you night want to bomb their bases, since they will be hard to beat on the attack.

don't know this mod, but ....

MIG3 is almost 400mph fighter ... it can hold its own with good pilots against anything the IJ has, even late war. the rest of the SOV early fighters are worthless.

You know those H83's of the Chinese are also pretty good fighters too.

Mike,

John 3rd can tell you a series of sob stories about how well my well trained fighter force does against him. This mod is based on his and my mods which use DBB air data. If the pilot quality is relatively close, the P-39/40s can hold there own. My P-38s are just plane nasty which you will find out soon enough in our game. <rubs hand gleefully>

Never mind this game, you have a turn in your inbox.

Yup - I'll be using a hammer on the bases now. I've taken pretty tough losses with my fighters so I need to consolidate and rebuild air groups. Pound the bases and kill 'em on the ground + insure he can't launch fighters from his airfields. I need to turn his runways into swill cheese.

PaxMondo:
Yup - the Mig sucks. It looks like he's getting about 70 per month... I need to look but, almost all of the Russian fighters in this mod have center-line guns with accuracy levels in the 70s...
-- I53 has 4x7.62 Range 300 Acc 78
-- 15bis is the same.
-- 16m24 is the same.
-- Mig has 1x12.7 Range 400 Acc 60 & 2x7.62 Range 300 Acc 78
-- LaGG has 1x20mm Range 500 Acc 50 & 1x12.7 Range 400 Acc 60

Zero 2x7.7 Range 300 Acc 54 & 2x20mm Range 500 Acc 28
Oscr 2x12.7 Range 400 Acc 58

Was the accuracy for early Russian fighters really that high?



Michael:
I'll need to concentrate my aerial assets at the start plus ramp up production with the fighters. I've already lost more fighters than I want simply by throwing the A6M2 at bases where they were outnumbered, often by 3:1 or better.
I have a plan… <grin>

On top of the Soviet aircraft proper pretty much being all centreline guns all the time, it's magnified by the ShKAS being pretty weird - it's a sort of mini revolver cannon thing with a fire rate about twice that of the 'normal' aircraft MGs of the time, and since aircraft weapon accuracy is at least in large part based on rate of fire, you get a pretty effective weapon! I was going to say one ShKAS is functionally equivalent to two regular MGs, which is probably a bit much, but certainly it is (and should be) more effective than 1-1.

Based upon those numbers, the designers of the mod must have felt that the sync on those particular (7.62) guns was really good. On c/l guns its all about matching the gun recoil to the prop speed.
It would appear on those 7.62's that the match was really good. That was the problem with the 50 cal for the allies. A great gun, no question, but it didn't sync well with the prop speeds they were using,
so the guns had to go into the wings ... and then use a convergence zone ... clearly when you hit a target at the convergence point, 6 (or 8 with the TBolt) 50 cal does a lot of damage in a hurry.

But, it is a lot harder to do. C/L is a lot easier, hence more accurate over the long run.

Game date is 14 DEC 41 and I just sent the turn to Bruce.

Air combat in the PI, @ Kwangchowan, and at the Russian front has been kicking my arse. My main problem are the bi-planes of France and Russia. They almost all have 4 center-mounted guns with a high accuracy rating. I could probably get past that but they are all armored also. The truth is that my Army fighters can't stand up cuz they have no armor and their primary weapons can't punch through the armor level 1 rating… This would be close to a walk in Russia IF my Zeroes performed like they normally do in any other mod. The Migs from Russia are a superior aircraft. And the Allied Sky Rocket used in the PI takes out maybe 3 to 4 Zeroes for everyone he loses. So Oscars are just a snack. If I could control the air my bombers would be eating his soul in Russia and Malaya. Right now in Kwangchowan my mouse-over shows 153 fighters. That's probably some roll-over from Hong Kong but still that’s a lotta fighters. And when my sweeps go in uncoordinated my Zeroes see something like 3:1 odds against them…

Bruce has offered a house rule where he'll not use his bi-planes on offense anymore but the damage is already done as I've lost almost 50% of my fighters.

So @ this point - no sweeps from me; that's a no-win situation. I'm marching divisions of troops to cut off the rails to the North in Russia.

In Malays I'm running about 8 divisions down to Singapore. And I'm filling my air fields with air support engineers as I'll be pounding Singapore AF to try and cut his air support and stop forts from building any stronger than they are now.

In the PI I'll push engineers to the bases I have, bring KB across for air support, and add divisions to my ground battle. And I'll begin working the airfields to stop forts and kill his air support.

I'm just not able to do everything at once with my fighter levels so I'll be rotating my air assets from one location to another - like playing whack-a-mole.

Can you guess this location on the map? lol.
Operation Orange Crush
• 98th & 4th Divisions loaded on TF86
• 21st Div. loaded on TF 109.
• TF83(2CVE 1CL 2DD)Air Combat/Support
• KB is in route.

PaxMondo:

The accuracy *seems* high to me also - I mean it's higher than the center-mounted weapons on the Oscar and Zero too. But my 12.7 weapons rarely punch through the armor-1 rating... We've got a house rule in place to try and cut back on the pain but we can't change anything in the current game.

I'll just push on and see what I can do to get past the pain... <grin>.

My Bombardment didn't happen on the 17th but it looks like it'll go down on the 18th. TF19 looks like it'll arrive on the 18th too. My deliberate attack went down but was stymied by Wake's fort level of 2.

Some of my units are closing on Taiping I think I'll boots @ the base this turn.
Also, I've caught up with the Bruce's 8th Indian Brigade that had been @ Kota Bharu, thanks to some aggressive air-2-ground attacks.

17 DEC 41
Wake
I had a nice 4BB/3BC Bombardment TF hit Wake on the 16th. I'm gunna rinse-n-repeat on the 17th and the two units I have on Wake, the Maizuru 2nd SNLF & the 150th Indian Mixed Bde do a deliberate attack.
Meanwhile I have the 140th Indian Mixed Bde in route on TF19 to Wake and maybe 2 days out.

PI
I'm attacking Laoag this turn. I'm consolidating my fighters @ Vigan. SkyRockets kick butt - I've got nothing that can stand up to them but sheer numbers.

Russia
I'm about 3-4 days out on invading Petropavlovsk. KB will supply air support. My primary thrust north is going unopposed. My secondary thrust to the north is receiving attention from Bruce's air units.

Malaya
I'm attacking Georgetown this turn. Everything is funneling down towards Singapore.

China
I've two divisions in Wuchow and they will attack this turn. It looks like the allied units currently at the base are in movement. I'm hoping to catch them in that phase.

On the road between Lang Son & Nanning my 254th Division caught the 52nd Chinese Corps at 2:1 odds and forced them to retreat. So the 254th will follow the retreating enemy as they drive to Nanning.

The 21st Indian Mixed Bde @ Hanoi is marching along the same route but will jog south once the pass the border and head for Pakhoi.

When I played this, several iterations ago against commander-cody I did not try to fight plane to plane.

Rather I used the IJN to bombard that French Base and then swept and finally bombed. In fact that was my preferred method of subduing his air power, which I felt I did a good job with. French planes there are really tough...so I decided to not really fight fair.

I almost never used Oscars to sweep but rather used Zeroes in that role and in heavy numbers and at first I tried to catch the bleeding CAP before hitting his strong points. And when I went in, I swept with huge numbers. I seem to recall shifting a ton of Zeroes from Saigon area to destroy the French, and then back to win Singers.

In fact, I concentrated first on Luzon, 2nd on the French, and 3rd on Singers. Since I was hitting him with overwhelming numbers it didn't take too long, plus he fought back rather than retreat away from Luzon.

I had such a huge advantage in pilot training...some of the Zero squadrons had all elite pilots. I risked subs in dangerous waters to always have a chance at rescuing pilots.

A lot may have changed by now...well, the Russians were quiet in my game -- but I was maneuvering to take them out when we called the game. Was a blast though!

I have always wondered if there are enough supplies in Russia for prolonged fighting from day 1.

The first two or three days I swept with zeroes but they ALL flew unescorted against the French and Russians. The French and Russians were massing about 150 fighters so my zeroes would go in at 1:2 - 1:5 odds...

I've lost a lot of fighters and I'm only about 10 days into the war...

The first two or three days I swept with zeroes but they ALL flew unescorted against the French and Russians. The French and Russians were massing about 150 fighters so my zeroes would go in at 1:2 - 1:5 odds...

I've lost a lot of fighters and I'm only about 10 days into the war...




To add a little more to what I did...

I used massive numbers of squadrons to fly sweeps, and yes, the first squadron in did suffer, but the follow on squadrons decimated his planes.

I also used LRCAP over the runways swept for particularly nasty places.

But I was only attacking one base at a time.

I also augmented my sweeps with Carrier Fighter Squadrons...which have a much higher chance of cooperating.

I've dropped two brigades @ Wake and both have taken grievous damage during the shock attack phase. To the point I'm waiting several days before I try a deliberate attack. My amphibious support was lite tho - just a CA and pair of CL…

What improves ASW attacks besides detection levels? I always thought aggression and naval were the keys to a TF Commander and ship captains…

Regarding the P-50s… I am averaging 4 losses to one P-50… And that's mostly zeroes… I see now why Peever went for the PI on day 1 of the war. I'm flying out of several airfields in the PI with Oscars and Zeroes. My Zeroes are at high altitude and my Oscars are mid-range and a low of 10k. My range is 3, which lets my bases all cover each other.

I had a nice turkey-shoot near Borzya when 25 DB-3M attacked ground units w/o escort fighters.

I'm assaulting Petropavlovsk. I am soooo lucky I added battleships for amphibious support!! Holy crap that base has some CD support. KB has attacked the airfields twice so far.

So in looking at the CD/Fort for Petropavlovsk I see that Bruce doubled the guns... I checked Palembang and that base has a bad-boy CD unit too - ugh!!!

I have a vague recollection that Petropavlovsk fortress mauled an invasion TF in Seydlitz's AAR. That was stock scenario 1 back in 2009...

Russia Theatre


I took Petropavlovsk i na shock attack.

Mine Okha and try to slow down any reinforcements.
- KRS Class subs carry the Type 88 mine: That's I-121, 122, 123, & 124. I-124 is on a mission to lay @ Singkawang but will then return to Takao. I-121 is patrolling by Bangka and is now returning to Takao. I-122 & 123 are @ Takao and are now in route to Okha.

I see enemy subs @ Petropavlovsk and I need to keep the area clear since I'll be pulling fuel/oil from the base.
- TF46(2DD)ASW was split from KB and will patrol Petropavlovsk.

The remainder of TF46(damaged ships from the amphibious landing) are headed to Petropavlovsk too, since there's a repair yard there.

KB is returning to Tokyo for resupply.

I moved the Chichijima Ku T-1 (max 24 Jake)to Paramushiro-jima. The air group will eventually goto Petropavlovsk but I need to get repairs done @ that base first. My Jakes are on night-time naval search. Also, Petropavlovsk is under SA command so the Jakes are attached to the SA too. They are patrolling an arc of 50-90 with a range of 7. I have the 17th Ku T-1 (6 Mavis) patrolling the same arc but they are flying daytime. So with ASW TF46 plus the two aG flying naval search, I'm hoping to bump up the detection level enough to get in a good attack on those subs.

Regarding Petropavlovsk:
- Oil (39) x 761
- RepYrd (5) x 25
- Resource (29) x 571 & (2) x 58
- LI (4) x 96
- Refinery (1) x 39
- Damage is PD 63/ASD 85/ARD 94 ** I have engineers present so dmg should reduce quickly.

The 21st, 4th, & 98th Divisions @ Petropavlovsk are prepping for Alexandrovsk. I'm hoping to take that base next and then march overland to Okha.

I-12 is in the Sea of Okhotsk & returning to Tokyo after taking moderate damage in an ASW encounter.

The Russian subs are starting to come out to play around Japan so I've been working to add FP for Day & night Naval Search patrols. And more ASW TF patrolling in areas where I see his subs. I'm limited in what I send out on simple ASW patrols tho as I need most everything I have to escort TFs of resources to the home islands and supplies out to bases and troops out to capture territory.

I'm building up the AF @ Toyohara & Shikuka. And I'm gathering additional AP to move my three divisions from Petropavlovsk to Shikuka.

I'm sending the 1st Recon Rgt @ Taonan down to Sunwu so I can rebuild the 1st Division of the 4th Army[R].

In the PI I added fighters to air groups in the region.

In Malaya the 21st and 56th INF Rgts will perform a shock attack @ 50,77. They've finally caught up to stragglers running towards Singapore. And the 1st Tank Rgt @ Taiping is performing a D_Atk. The base is empty.

So I'm starting to plan for R&D. Anyone want to make suggestions? My goal will be to streamline air production as best I can while driving towards air frames that should help me out in the later part of the war.

Yeah I lost 5 Aks and heavy damage to a cruiser and destroyer while landing at Tarakan. Looking at the other Dutch bases next on my list they all have guns waiting as well. I was too afraid to go straight for Petropavlovsk like you did so thanks for doing it! Now I can prepare for it with some knowledge on what to expect.

A lot of CD guns have been added in a lot of places in this mod.

Is the double engine fighter you're referring to the P50?

Great addition to the American at start fighter force.
