The relevant section is quoted here :"A kamikaze plane which hits gets only 1 single hit, not multiple hits to reflect ordnance + fuel + mass. The damage inflicted (don't forget there are always die rolls in Grigsby algorithms) is determined from the type of hit which is abstracted. There is no differentiation made between different aircraft models of the same aircraft type. Except for determining the type of abstracted hit to be applied, aircraft models without a bomb are not discriminated against compared to those aircraft models of the same aircraft type with a bomb. "


Now it could well be the fact that there are some planes that carry the SAP and that is a bug/or code never finished/ or a mistake...in which case Alfred's statement comes closer to being accurate...but still there is no way a Ki115 is equivalent to a Sonia despite being both classified as light bombers.





I suspect it's to model the ad hoc nature of kamikaze payloads as the war progressed. IJ ground crew were not considering what payload would be optimum in the late war, simply bolting on whatever they had to hand. Some planes even involved repurposed oil drums. In that case it makes sense for planes to be using GP bombs, as there's likely to be a greater stockpile of them rather than more specialized anti-shipping weapons.

Of course, it's a possibility that it was an oversight given how there's upgraded torpedoes and such that are never used in-game, but I'm not so sure.

As for the observable difference between GP and AP, I'm at a loss as to how to explain it, given that GP bombs with their higher effect should cause more damage than AP bombs (assuming no armour soaks the damage)...

Here is my guess, that the SAP kamikazes trigger more secondary damage messages. Sys damage is only slightly higher against cargo ships, but the flooding, engineer and fires is substantially higher.

...Sorry, for clarification I was meaning in the sense that if it's impossible to control bombload, then why bother? I was meaning with the Nate in the spirit of Alfred's comment regarding kamikaze attacks in Mike's AAR - http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/fb.asp?m=4534455

The Nate example was to illustrate that kamikaze attacks rarely discomfort large Allied warships, but can be fatal to the softer-skinned ships. I've spent some time thinking about this, and in my view the issue is that in that most IJ players have expectations of the Franklin as the norm, when it really wasn't. A quick look at the list of ships sunk by kamikaze reveals lots of destroyers, cargos and LST's. Attacking those ships with AP or SAP is illogical as you're wanting a bigger boom, in game terms the device with more effect and less penetration.

The fact that damage correlates to plane class is from Alfred - http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/fb.asp?m=4534617

The relevant section is quoted here :"A kamikaze plane which hits gets only 1 single hit, not multiple hits to reflect ordnance + fuel + mass. The damage inflicted (don't forget there are always die rolls in Grigsby algorithms) is determined from the type of hit which is abstracted. There is no differentiation made between different aircraft models of the same aircraft type. Except for determining the type of abstracted hit to be applied, aircraft models without a bomb are not discriminated against compared to those aircraft models of the same aircraft type with a bomb. "

Based on Alfred's comments, I suspect it would be hard to get even a standard measure of damage from kamikaze hits, given the large number of variables and the "Grigsby Constant" involved.

Hit rates being tied to speed


I have emphasised the relevant comments which are being overlooked. Together with the earlier comments quoted by Mike Solli, the key points about Kamikazes are being largely overlooked in favour of this dog chasing his tail fixation on bomb load.

1. Ordnance for missions is determined by the code. What is the point about fretting over it if the player has no control.

2. The key significant feature of the Kamikaze mission which separates it from all other air missions is that you are guaranteed a 100% loss of all airframes and pilots. Any other mission type has a loss rate within the range of 0-100%. This alters substantially the ROI metrics as the cost of launching a Kamikaze mission is so much more expensive.

3. For a non Kamikaze mission, with it's much lower cost, the damage inflicted per individual hit is a more relevant ROI metric than the number of hits achieved. This is completely reversed for a Kamikaze mission. It is logistical profligacy of the highest order to expend 200 Kamikaze airframes and pilots to achieve a single hit irrespective of the ordnance delivered when the expenditure of the same quantum of airframes/pilots in multiple non Kamikaze missions can result in many more hits inflicting cumulatively much more damage even if using lesser quality ordnance.

4. For Kamikazes the only relevant factor which a player can realistically influence is to increase the odds of getting a kamikaze hit. Mike Solli quoted what is relevant in this regard.

5. IRL damage from a kamikaze hit could result from (a) ordnance, (b) mass, or (c) fuel. One, two or all three elements could generate significant damage from the same plane, or none of them could inflict any worthwhile damage. In AE there are no multiple hits from a single kamikaze plane. It is all abstracted down to a single hit which causes damage determined from the availability of the three IRL damage sources.

6. You are all making a serious mistake in believing that there is a rigid hierarchy of order in the source of damage from a kamikaze. What is the point of fretting over whether a plane deployed with GP or SAP ordnance if the damage resulting from it's hit was not sourced from it's ordnance.

Because in over 200 sample runs, those bombers that carry the SAP significantly outperform the damage from planes carrying the GP. Plain and simple. Not once has the gp bomb carrying kamikazes out performed equivalent SAP carrying kamikazes.

I have no doubt what you reference is how the developers wanted the game to run, but it is not how it actually works for whatever reason.

From testing the bomb damage, I also saw a correlation between getting hits and speed of the kamikaze plane against heavy ship flak and also learned how to actually use the Ohka.

I think these are all important lessons for any Japanese player that actually reaches the game stage of using Kamikazes.

2.  Where is your evidence that the damage inflicted is sourced from the ordnance itself.  You are making that assumption.

3.  The logic of your position is that only IJN ships equipped with the 18.1in/45T94 Gun device should be used because it inflicts, by far, far more than any 800kg SAP bomb, the most damage.  That being so the Yamato class is by definition the best combatant.  Of course no weight is given to the cost of fuel and ammo, length of time to fix any damage received with the consequent out of play time component.  Yes the Kongo class is worthless because it carries such small armament in comparison.  Let alone any of the IJN cruiser and destroyer classes, ban them from any combat is the logical conclusion.

While you can provide the info, we also want t see actual results to confirm how it works in game. This is sometimes different than what would be assumed, or what was designed. This can be confirmed by the evidence of the massive amount of post-design support and tweaks that have gone into the current versions of the game most players are using.

So. We are not fretting. We are curious, and we want to learn more. What is the point in discouraging that if it achieves unexpected insights and new possibilities?

Two questions, the first because I want to ensure I understand and the second because I'm nosey.

- When you say CAP/flak, do you mean that airspeed plays in to evading both CAP and flak fire?

- Does this apply only in the context of kamikaze strikes or does it apply to conventional attacks also?

Point 1. Yes, you mentioned it, but it is nice to see confirmation in actual game play.

Point 2. Posted here, edit: upon reflection revised see post 2830.

Point 3. Is over my head, I don't understand it.

Well, there are other factors here as well. To test this one about speed I think you'd have to use a non-armorer plane in both cases, a slow DB like the Val, or LB like the early Sonia, then fast versions, like the Judy for DB and Toka for LB.

I bet the manoeuvre of the A6M plays a factor as well, since its much better than the Jill.

I guess you could try a Jean and a Jill, too.

This is very interesting with the Judy and Val. Worth checking that out much more.

In a real-world comparison, it makes sense. You've the CVE St. Lo, which was lost to a single kamikaze to the CA Australia, which had five kamis hit her over a few days without much real damage.

I think there's not much value in testing against heavily armoured warships such as CA and up, given that kamikaze effectiveness was greatest when targeted towards thin-skinned transports.

I'd assume that the single samples Lowpe included were the average or the "norm" found over the much larger sample size of the tests. He indicated it would take a lot of work to post the full results.

If those are the "norm" then I think it's incredibly valuable to test armoured ships. There are big differences in those results, and ultimately, if they work against the armoured ships, they'll work just fine against anything else too.

The 3rd saw a bit more action as the Allies finally show some intent with the big mob. They're vectoring up toward Okinawa, and they land at Kume-Jima with a small force. It's the only empty base nearby, so I need to try something to kick them off quickly. I've got some glider paras at Chichi-Jima, which is just in range using Emily patrols to transport and drop them. If the allies get one base this close in they can use it to replenish nd as a home base for ships to range from (and run to after a combat).

I have no illusion that I can hold anything here if he wants to really invade, so we'll just hope this was an opportunity landing.

Air strikes took out a plethora of small gun/rocket landing craft being used to screen the Allied fleet. I sent in two DDs that did make it through and sank four xAKs plus attracting some small naval strikes that were crushed by LR CAP.

Will the Allies go for Okinawa?

Up North P-47N swept Hakodate and had surprisingly poor results. I think the Japanese actually won this battle, with about 80 P-47N lost on the day!

Down South the Allies land at Georgetown and might have enough to get it before I can reinforce. As usual they landed to both sides of the base to stuff up transport, but only with small units, and those will be wiped out tomorrow. The Burma Army is all railing out these next few days. Bye bye Bangkok.

I dislike when the Allies throw troops or material away like that.

That base will be an absolute nightmare for you.

I can't believe you can get away with having all that shipping around. And why are all the subs to the south?

I can't figure out AFBs, that for sure.

Well, those things are what make me think this base is an opportunity grab. I've got troops flying into others as we speak that are still open farther South. I might be able to either stop the flip or take it back. More on that soon. I can' believe I left it open in the first place. I think it was a missed assignment and I sent two naval guards to Another island. Hard to keep all of the jimas and shimas strait!

All of that shipping is scurrying for Nagasaki with oil/fuel and resources. He was South of Daito un§tis this turn.
He may have thought the KB was South, hence the subs there. His last sighting was at Cam Ran Bay.

Judging from this maneuver (the meandering juggernaut), I think you have won the air war temporarily, and the Allies seek to get VP elsewhere, i.e. on the ground.

I still really have no clue where they are going. Formosa makes no sense, Korea not much sense, so my main guess is China somewhere so that means there must simply be millions of supply in those fleets.

So, I think you are still in for a long war, and will see Soviet activation, and some Japanese late war toys.

Maybe. The points game can turn quickly in 45 and any big missteps will give him the confidence to throw everything at me.

Those same P-47N unit swept and suffered a 1:1 against CAP at Iwaki before a B-29 strike. About 45 were lost on April 28. So I am assuming, since he would have had time to refill some of those groups that he simply doesn't have enough airframes. They only started in March, and there are only maybe 3 x 25 plane groups arriving with them since they became available. So that would be about 275 total planes by now. Having lost about 90-100 before this turn might make his 7-8 groups a bit under strength, possibly.

In general he may also realise that the later groups have tended to do better, and the more waves there are, the more effectively the CAP is worn down. That did happen with a few small packets this turn too.

I'd guess he doesn't have a large group of elite pilots anymore as well.

Status: offline 		Here is a more detailed shot. I did make a effort to hit the rear just on the turn he moved NW. Some ships spread to the North and only a few screening TFs stayed to the sides on the North. I don't think the KB launched. LBA came from everywhere though which is good.

Now I'll move things back and keep the LR strikes on. The KB will be in range of Kume-jima and ready to roll. I don't think the Allies will want a fight on our terms though. With defensive additions from nearby LBA the KB can hope to stand up to the much larger DS. Maybe.

It is so hard to tell how many troops are present in this armada from naval search limitations...1,000 ships, 2,000 ships? 5 Divisions, 10 or 20?

One of the least attractive aspects of the game, sadly, and it has come back to bite many Japanese players.

I am curious how your sigint is doing at tracking the armada?

1.  I've already stated that speed is important in getting through Allied CAP/flak to get the kamikaze plane into position to generate a hit.  There is no connection between speed and the size of the "boom" from the hit.


Two questions, the first because I want to ensure I understand and the second because I'm nosey.

- When you say CAP/flak, do you mean that airspeed plays in to evading both CAP and flak fire?

- Does this apply only in the context of kamikaze strikes or does it apply to conventional attacks also?


Qualified Yes.

I must say I can pick up a lot of small details from reading your side of the story.

I see you've tried some night air attacks on ships. Have you ever had any luck with that and, if so, under what circumstances?

By the way, kudos to both of you gentlemen for keeping this struggle very, very interesting.

I think coast of China with Formosa asa backup if needed. He'll probably not need it, but may want the points.

He's still doing heavy recon on the Northern Manchuria and Chinese coastline, and on the Indochinese coastline into Southern China. I'm guessing this could be a multi-stage set of invasions, with opportunity dictating how many bases are taken. If the withdrawal from Burma was stalled I have no doubt Indochina and SW China would be on the menu. Since my troops are already getting to Udon Thani and beginning to walk toward Vinh, (with a smaller number going through Saigon and railing along the coastline just to hedge bets), I think he'll focus more on the Wenchow to Amoy range and possibly up to near Shanghai.

I'll have about 1400AV in Shanghai within a few days, and can bring more fairly quickly if rail is still open, but that's a big if. Forts are nearing level 8 there.

I'd imagine he's got 80% of what he brought to the North in the mob right now. That's probably 10k+AV and lots of AA, engineers and air support for setting up shop. From my Allied game I know that if prep is right I can pretty much land a 5k AV Army anywhere within a day. One thing that might be interesting here is a lack of APA/AKA for all of the good troops. So unload times may be a bit longer in some places.

I've not looked at SIGINT at ay point in the past several weeks. I feel like I can "see" what I need to see here. I'll have a peek for you next time I get in the save folder though.

I'm only an occasional viewer here, but from what I am looking at in your screenshots I would be thinking the same thing.
I wouldn't be surprised if he had a half dozen or more locations prepped in his convoys. Good idea, makes it hard to react.
On the other hand with only a couple of units prepped for a target, it means you have better odds to dislodge him as he won't have overwhelming force prepped for wherever he does land.

Good Luck!

Not sure I grasp or understand what you mean by that?


If I thought of game limitations in (air) recon, I'd pinpoint lack of details in land recon by air, against a too fair overall count of "troops" and equipment in a 40 x 40 miles piece of terrain, by a very few recon flights?

But naval recon in game? Close to perfect?

(Well apart from the hated precise count of airplanes on the decks-but not in the air - a reference to the ominous naval CAP trap..)
