Good going in China and with the KB. You do know that those American CVs and CAs will not be replaced?




WHAT? There was a change that USN CVs won't come back as Essex CVs and CA/CL won't be replaced by Baltimores?


My understanding that there is a switch for those replacements and it is set to "off" now. You could start the game over with a new scenario with the switch set to "on" and the cruisers aren't just Baltimores but they could be Clevelands as is my understanding.

So now how long does your carrier supremacy last?



Guess no. Replacements "off" means replacements within air and ground units are set to off so those units won't take replacements until they are set to replacements "on".

All those carriers and cruisers will return in 44 as the modern versions, all named after the sunk ship with a II behind, like Yorktown II etc.

So my carrier supremacy will last into mid 43, then it's parity. Further on into 44 and by mid 44 at the latest the enemy has full CV supremacy. This of course without taking any losses on both sides into account.

Submarine attack near Koggala at 28,51

Japanese Ships
SS I-168, hits 1

Allied Ships
xAK Demosthenes, Shell hits 11

no idea what my subs are doing around Colombo, I-168 isn't the first one to screw up an attack completely... attacking surfaced the sub gunfights the freighter until all available torps were fired at the ship and all missed... all those 10cm shell hits into the superstructure and penetrating the hull didn't do anything either so the freighter just moved on and the sub has to retire for R&R...



xAK Demosthenes is sighted by SS I-168

damn Abdiel! Just hate this fast minelayer! Looks like Mundy tried to mine Moulmein (which would be quite a good plan) where we had two Nagatos and escorts on patrol... even if both BBs nearly empty all their magazines on the fast minelayer we only scored one non damaging hit... the engagement still was a mission kill for the minelayer though...

Mundy has a Chinese corps and 1st Burma Div at Pegu to defend behind the river... both units aren't really combat worthy but can still inflict losses when our IJA Divs have to cross the river into Pegu... we have several cruisers nearby that can do daily bombardments which should at least disrupt the defenders...

we also have to make sure that Rangoons airfields stay out of action as this is the biggest threat in the area to our Navy... as there are only base forces left at Rangoon Mundy won't be able to get the airfield running again...

more luck for our BBs during the day as the TF reacted towards Abdiel... the ship wasn't reported sunk but I guess Abdiel is done even though there's a chance to reach Rangoon... the other question would be if the ship ever gets out of Rangoon again...

Mundy disbanded his ships into Pago Pago's level 2 port so KB couldn't engage them being set to nav attack yesterday... this turn KB's Kates were set to nav attack / port attack and the Kates put several 800kg AP bombs into the BBs... about halve of the hits on Nevada and Oklahoma were belt hits that couldn't penetrate... modern CLs St. Louis and Helena also took 800kg bomb hits and should be in sinking condition... flak fire could have been worse and due to KB running low on fuel we have also ordered all Vals to nav/port attack tomorrow plus the Kongos that are escorting KB will hit Pago Pago with a bombardment...

Night Time Surface Combat, near Pago Pago at 148,161, Range 11,000 Yards

for a short moment I was thinking about the possibility of Mundy trying to move his heavily damaged ships out of Pago Pago and the danger the Kongos would meet when going in for a bombardment and it seems I was wrong in thinking Mundy would just keep his ships disbanded in port as this engagement pops up right at the start of the replay... have to admit I wasn't really happy about the engagement as it was putting my ships at risk even though all turned out well... I don't see the Kongos suited for naval battle vs other BBs and this engagement clearly showed why... while their gunfire was well placed non of the 36cm shells could any damage to Nevada or Oklahoma as they just bounced off the US BBs' armor... only when the two TFs were near knife fight range the 36cm shells started penetrating the US BBs' belt armor putting them into sinking condition pretty quickly... Nevada then was hit by 2 torps from the DDs but Oklahoma kept shooting at my whole task force like wild... was glad she couldn't hit anything and finally damage within the US TF was accumulating until all but Pensacola and Monaghan was sunk...

that's the difference between the replay and the combat report, the report shows a totally one sided engagement but when you watch the replay and see the US task force firing as many salvoes at the IJN as vice versa then it all just came down to the IJN's better gunnery during the night, otherwhise we would now have several damaged ships far from a friendly base...

Pegu get's another visit and another 28 combat squads are disabled which also means the disruption within the enemy combat units is going up... it's amazing to me that we also target Dutch troops here, I wouldn't have spent political points to evacuate those Dutch troops and have them fight in Burma as they won't achieve anything in Burma or at least not more than they achieved on Java which is equally to nothing IMO...

DD Hatsushima
DD Wakaba, Shell hits 1

Allied Ships
CA Pensacola, Shell hits 14, heavy fires, heavy damage
DD Monaghan, Shell hits 2

that was an engagement by accident during the day when the Kongos retired North and Pensacola and Monaghan were met again... funnily again, meeting a totally outnumbered task force it's the smaller task force firing way more shells than the way bigger one... Pensacola was landing hits on all our BBs and we were lucky she didn't target more of our DDs with here really accurate gunfire... Yugure took one 8 inch shell which was a critical hit and she is now in danger of being sunk, would rate her chances to make it back to a safe port at about 30%... Pensacola should be sunk though as she took several penetrating 36cm shells while Monaghan most likely will survive...

wouldn't be happy about losing Yugure but I guess that's an absolutely acceptable price we paid when KB was able to kill two tanker convoys, a troop convoy, xAP Queen Elizabeth, 2 USN BBs, several CA/CL/DD during the sweep through the South Pacific... it's only the end of February and the enemy has lost an insane number of high value ships for literally no gain IMO other than turning his forward bases in POW camps...

OUCH! As expected we do take quite some serious losses to flak over Pago Pago but we just had to order this attack as I didn't want the enemy have a slightest chance to save the two BBs or the light cruisers at Pago Pago... the Kongos took care of them during the night but there's no possibility to react on a new situation during the turn... we lost about two dozen bombers in this operation but killing those ships was well worth it, about a dozen pilots is either MIA or KIA...

Java campaign was a cakewalk after Batavia fell so quickly and the Dutch defenders not being able to inflict any notable losses within our troops... Soerabaja only had a handful of troops and the base falls easily, all our combat units are fully combat ready... even better, all the industry at Soerabaja is fully undamaged which brings the DEI campaign to an absolute victory... Manila still holds on Luzon but that's just a matter of time, Mindanao wasn't invaded yet as there's nothing there we have to worry about and the rest of the DEI is either empty bases or held by small Allied units... 1st March and Japanese land air and sea units rule all over the map, the Allied forces were either destroyed or forced to retreat...

as our troops march from Moulmein to Pegu the IJN keeps bombarding the defenders... Pegu is a clear hex so I guess it's worse for Mundy to defend here, even though sitting behind the river... Rangoon is urban light and should have at least level 4 forts by now but we will see how this turns out, 2500 Japanese av in several divisions plus a couple of tank units will shock attack over the river...

2 Coastal gun shots achieve 3 hits again... both AMc will sink... the minefield is spotted, we swept mines a couple of times so hopefully any bombardment of the base will not result in my DDs hitting mines again...

second sweep with the bigger unit is again highly effective, shooting the enemy out of the sky... both units have equally skilled pilots and leaders but the CAP performs so much worse vs the second sweep it feels crazy... in the end we achieve a 3+:1 again which will result in the enemy soon running out of frontline fighters if we keep up fighting over PM... nearly 300 P-40/P-39 lost already... we are limited by pilots, the USAAF is limited by airframes...

our cruisers visit Port Blair for a bombardement and hit the base quite hard, escort were set to bombardement off as I didn't know about coast defense and Mundy has indeed brought a CD unit but it had no effect on the bombardement... could be that this unit was mostly sunk with one of the transports we attacked earlier when there were dozen of guns lost... even parts of the AVG are sitting at the small airfield, not sure what Mundy is trying to achieve with Port Blair, doesn't effect my Burma campaign at all and if Burma is lost for the Allied Port Blair is isolated...

first appearance of the B-17... Mundy based them at Port Moresby and attacks at 1.000ft!! We have a good number of Zeroes in the air but the B-17 is the best Allied fighter at this stage as we lose as many fighters as the enemy loses bombers but that's something we can afford... guess it's time to bring some flak...

WOW! That's a good example that Chinese units in the right spot can do pretty well on the defense... we outnumber the enemy 7:1 in assault value and get a bloody nose despite having bombed those troops with several thousand bomber missions already... also shows that ground bombing units in anything that is not clear terrain got no effect at all if you aren't using a couple of hundred 4E bombers at low altitude... the 200 medium IJAAF bombers can do **** here...

Defeated Allied Units Retreating!

several really surprising aspects here for me... a) Mundy has brought several Dutch units to Rangoon, must be all evacuated from Java and Sumatra, even though I totally miss the point of doing so as those units got literally no combat value and he had to pay politcal points doing so... let alone there was nothing on Java that could be even seen as a speed bump as my troops just took the whole island at will... b) the shock attack was going even better than expected as non of our units was hit hard... c) with 1500+ Allied assault value Mundy had way more in Burma than I expected but that whole Army is more or less destroyed in this single shock attack, with such a horrible adjusted av our naval bombardments really have paid off I guess... we are now marching on Rangoon, the enemy troops are spotted to march out of the base to the North so Mundy has ordered full retreat I guess... it confirms my feeling that it would have been way better for him to defend in Rangoon than behind the river in this clear hex even though I wouldn't have expected such a devastating defeat of the Allied defenders...

I really appreciate having an opponent that keeps surprising me and Mundy is definitely doing so... after the first attack at Lae with that low bombload right into my CAP I didn't expect the B-17 to return anytime soon but here they come... three dozen fighters in the air again, doing a good job shooting up the bomber formation... what is really depressing is the non effective radar we have at the base, no better than the sound detectors...

looks like the ever victorious IJA troops are running out of steam as the Chinese start defending in better terrain... nearly 200 combat squads disabled in this attack is for sure something I don't like to see... daily bombings of the defender again did nothing as the enemy isn't disrupted at all... attack would have been worth it if the enemy had to retreat but in this case we have to recover and attack in a couple of days again...

not a single enemy aircraft destroyed but the base is hit hard again... we haven't spotted an enemy attempt to reinforce Rabaul or to bring supplies in the last weeks so I guess Mundy has given up here... we aren't in a hurry and as long as Lae and Kavieng are way more of a threat to the Allied than Rabaul and PM are a threat to the Japanese we are in a good position and can invade whenever we feel to do so...

highly effective naval bombardment of Port Blair this turn as we've also set the destroyers to bombard... lots of disabled squads and guns on the island and the airfield was hit hard... big number of RAF medium bombers destroyed on the ground and parts of the AVG also take a beating... by now the AVG has lost nearly three dozen of it's fighters without having engaged in air combat even once... that Indian CD unit is no threat as it is either totally understrenght or completely ineffective...

the IJA takes Rangoon which is already the highlight of the Burma campaign with all Allied defenders running North as fast as they can... unfortunately all but two Allied units managed to march out of the base before we could attack despite our air attacks... all our troops are ordered to pursue the Allied on the road going North... industry at Rangoon wasn't damaged in the attack (took some damage due to our naval bombardments earlier though) and we seized 100k fuel but not much supplies...

can't see our operations going much better to be honest, Singapore fell in January, Java at the end of February, Manila is about to fall and the rest of the DEI is nothing more than some empty or lightly held bases... several thousand Chinese combat squads have also been destroyed since the end of the truce there in Februrary... add in our fleet operations that were decisive victories of KB and so far it's quite a disastrous start for the Japanese... Japanese amphib bonus ends in three weeks and there's not much left I'm planning to invade so we should be in quite good shape to build up our defensive perimeters...

Day Time Surface Combat, near Pago Pago at 149,160, Range 21,000 Yards

Japanese Ships
BB Kongo, Shell hits 2
BB Haruna, Shell hits 2
BB Hiei, Shell hits 2
BB Kirishima, Shell hits 1
DD Yamakaze
DD Hatsushima
DD Wakaba, Shell hits 1
DD Yugure, Shell hits 1, heavy fires

Allied Ships
CA Pensacola, Shell hits 14, heavy fires, heavy damage
DD Monaghan, Shell hits 2

that was an engagement by accident during the day when the Kongos retired North and Pensacola and Monaghan were met again... funnily again, meeting a totally outnumbered task force it's the smaller task force firing way more shells than the way bigger one... Pensacola was landing hits on all our BBs and we were lucky she didn't target more of our DDs with here really accurate gunfire... Yugure took one 8 inch shell which was a critical hit and she is now in danger of being sunk, would rate her chances to make it back to a safe port at about 30%... Pensacola should be sunk though as she took several penetrating 36cm shells while Monaghan most likely will survive...

wouldn't be happy about losing Yugure but I guess that's an absolutely acceptable price we paid when KB was able to kill two tanker convoys, a troop convoy, xAP Queen Elizabeth, 2 USN BBs, several CA/CL/DD during the sweep through the South Pacific... it's only the end of February and the enemy has lost an insane number of high value ships for literally no gain IMO other than turning his forward bases in POW camps...


Well, since your TF already had a nightine engagement VS the enemy BBs plus a bombardment, it's not like your ships had much left for ammo... lol. Still, this was a good night for Japan's navy.

oh how much I think (and have always thought) the air routines totally suck in AE... it's just utter crap pretty much every turn... first two "strikes" are escorted and of course no enemy "CAP" is in the air, when the third unescorted strike shows up we suddenly have enemy fighters on TRAINING in the air that take down 18 Nells!!! The 75 additional Zeroes at Lae that were set to sweep didn't take off in the morning and didn't take off in the afternoon, must be idiotic radio failure again? Both times weather was great, funny air "routine"... borked, borked and again, borked and it's a joke to even call it a routine...

Your 2E bomber raids against LCUs inflict highest casualties in Clear weather. Same number of aircrfat flying at the same altitude inflictes fewer losses in Overcast/Moderate rain, and in Thunderstorms your 2E bombers cannot hit anything.

yeah they do but that's not different to nav attacks, in clear you drop laser guided weapons and in thunderstorms hit rate is non existant. But that's something I totally agree to as the hit rates all over the place are way too high. Hence bomb effect was halved in this mod bringing it at least somewhat closer to okayish results.

Sub attack near Koggala at 29,51




Japanese Ships
SS I-162

Allied Ships
BB Resolution, Torpedo hits 1

SS I-162 launches 4 torpedoes
I-162 diving deep ....
Sub escapes detection

the night isn't over yet and I-162 torps Resolution off Ceylon... not sure if it was Resolution or Royal Sovereign that took a torp from a Betty earlier but it will take some time for sure to repair damage... one torp isn't much more than an annoyance though... absolutely amazing that there were no escorts...

nothing's gonna stop the B-17 from bombing my bases and they will for sure score an easy 1:1 in losses vs my fighters but the fun fact is that we can afford Zero losses but Mundy can't afford B-17 losses especially when they don't achieve anything of real effect. Of course as soon as we reach 43 and we see hundred bomber raids of B-17 and B-24 they will inflict massive losses. But by then we should also field Georges with a gun value of 20 and I have seen those taking down 4E bombers in droves. Until then we just have to fight along.

Usually I only see a lucky flak hit killing a B-17 now and then but if the fighters have damaged a lot of bombers flak can bite too.

roughly halve of the available bombers at Kavieng attack this task force 3 hexes SE of Rabaul... we guessed right that Mundy is sending cruisers to Rabaul again when one of our subs encountered a big cruiser squadron off Australia's coast... two TF are spotted, one has to be a transport convoy, the other one the cruiser squadron... in total we spot over 30 ships, imagine if our bombers (all 81 of them) would have attacked in the morning and in the afternoon but that's something the game isn't meant to see as it would be utopic, unrealistic, crazy???? I don't know...

we hit several transports which are all empty so I bet Ed is trying an evacuation here which seems absolute suizidic with Kavieng being a level 6 airfield and Truk having strong IJN forces... two days after we have spotted his cruisers we have ordered a strong cruiser squadron from Truk to go to a position East of Kavieng where they are sitting now... the enemy cruisers are sitting 6 hexes away from Kavieng and I bet when his convoy is reaching Rabaul he will also try to bombard Kavieng with his cruisers and that's where my cruisers will come into play as they will sprint to Kavieng tonight ordered to engage the enemy... we have also flown in 45 Vals from Truk so in total we have 81 Nells plus 45 Vals and 45 Zeroes on escort...

this is the beginning of the invasion of Australia! KB has taken a position NE of Darwin to bomb the port where recon has showed some 30 enemy aircraft... actually expected heavier AA over Darwin but thought the air losses would be worth hitting shipping there as we also had reports of 6 enemy subs there... two Dutch subs were sunk in the attack and another one heavily damaged while the rest of the ships aren't really worth it except that AS... we have a TF of four BBs and another strong cruiser squadron in position to bombard Darwin to tangle with the heavy CD gun batteries there to cover our invasion convoy unloading at the beaches... KB's fighters did better than the sweep from Dili but also suffered losses, those P-40 pilots at Darwin must be quite skilled already... the Kates have serious problems to hit something with their 800kg bombs as they have achievd only 7 hits in total which is quite depressing...

as Manila's defenders ran out of supply the base fell easily to this attack and we have several divisions available for further operations again... in the end the Luzon campaign was as much a cakewalk as the attack on Malaya and the rest of the DEI and I still can only think about the failed first attempt to invade Balikpapan where we lost our invasion convoy to the combined Dutch/British cruisers that just pushed through my cruiser squadron that covered the invasion, everything else went as planned when looking at the big picture...

we keep attacking the shattered Chinese Army South of Nanyang which is forced to retreat another time even though the adjusted av ratio was closer than I like... hopefully another one or two attacks and those units will surrender or will be destroyed as I want to bring my divisions forward to take part in a major offensive in Southern China... my Army in Northern China is currently on R&R and prepares for another big assault so we only see the IJAAF being active in Northern China for now...

Status: offline 		With the surrender of Allied troops at Manila this was of course a great day overall but the small disaster of my sweep to Darwin I'm nitpicking a bit... we lost two dozen Zeroes today while the flak losses over Darwin were lighter than expected (so was the damage done)... 31 B-17E reported lost so far which is something Mundy should already feel due to the replacement rates... everything focusses on the expected evacuation attempt of Rabaul now, with KB near Darwin he is coming in with perfect timing which is amazing as he didn't know where KB is and I would actually have the carriers at Truk if we wouldn't invade Darwin right now... the loss of five transports today should be a warning for him already, perhaps the game goes crazy for a turn and lets us launch a real strike in good weather then his cruisers could be toast but as good as I know Ed already he will press on so tomorrow could be interesting...
