July 1 1942

Shoho crews hard at work. I will fine tune the repair facilities this turn to prioritize her patch to get her out of here.

No night bombing.




good job getting her to a port ... amazing she made it ... I doubt I would have been able ... I would have heard gurgling for sure.



But still any little blip, yard fire, whatever that causes sys damage to increase by 3 would be disaster.


It is my experience that Sys damage can't reach 100. I documented this at some point or other. I had several cruisers in a port being bombed daily or almost daily, but the puny Japanese AP bombs couldn't punch through the armor so as long as fires didn't reach 100 they wouldn't sink.

A day with lots of carnage...several night bombing runs here and at Miri and Brunei...Shoho safe for now.

But alas, despite being excellent pilots they all miss. A second squadron goes in without escorts, and a Val/Zero strike stands no chance flying at 15K.

An afternoon strike gets Nell thru and misses.

Allied strikes fragment and don't target the battleship next door, but savage a lot of merchant shipping. In the afternoon the CV strikes still fragment, but some do go after the battleship. A6M3 does well for day. A6M2 not so much.

You mean in a port, right? Good to know. At sea I know if sys damage goes above 99 the ship sinks so you never see a display with sys 100.

But Tracker will tell you what sunk the ship - the damage that sank the ship may be hidden in-game, but it's visible in Tracker.

I've got tons that went up to 99. Most of them hit 100 flooding, but a few hit 100 fire.

And yes, in a port... but I don't think you could hit 100 Sys at sea, either. I'm 99% certain there's a hard cap at 99.

yeah, agreed
I am envisioning flocks of japanese planes piloted with tiny squinting babies in diapers, one single toothed snarl as they fly, rattle in hand, to their demise.

as a guess:
1. It has stopped snowing.
2. The silver lining is actually the glint of the monitor light on the rim of a whiskey glass.
3. He is looking ahead, in talks with a new opponent, and finally gets a 'normal' game in the next one.

But I have been surprised before by your tenacity.

Put some ships into Kuantan under 40 planes CAP, and out of the 400 fighters at Singers, 80 escort some dive bombers in...2 DD and an AMC lost.

Lets thin the herd, shall we. Battleship SAG guarding the runway, some cargo ships bringing in supply and plenty of planes overhead flying protection.

A similar trap over Kuantan can't entice any ABDA strikes.

I have never had as damaging a bombardment as Japan with any amount of ships. Runway closed.

ABDA CV fleet and consorts steams from north west of Luzon to here. Looks like an amphibious landing of Miri will take place.

Downed a few Fulmars of Jesselton. Lost 16 planes to the bombardment. Allied fighter strength: 350 at Singers, 125 north of Singers, 90 in the Kuriles, 120 at Kunming, 115 on the ABDA Fleet. Over 200 Allied units in Malaya.

The silver lining is that Lowpe is guaranteed to have kamikaze activation from 1 January 1944. Between now and then he won't have sleepless nights wondering if his opponent will trigger kamikaze activation.
