I would not scuttle those DDs. Who knows, they might put out the fires. Then they can be used as CAP traps if the enemy decides to bomb the port. Eventually you could get them to Brisbane and then repaired if they can put out the fires. Just take the marshmallows and the hot dogs away from the crews.

It is interesting in that it appears that the second FP unit from the cruisers were not taken off, expanded, then used for training and/or ASW purposes. Although Jakes down low can do some good damage to non-armoured ships.


I scuttled Talbot, no way she would survive...don't want to lose the Captain.

Not everybody plays the meta game so to speak...NJP plays in a big flowing and fast method.

I am liking your use of the USAAF fighters in the anti-shipping role. Makes me feel justified in training LowNav on my fighter pilots as a matter of course.

They've been pretty nifty for naval point defence and when mixed with the dive bombers it really can stretch early war IJ CAP.

I think I've played Japan too much, as IJ low level attacks tend to get mauled by flak. When it's the Allies attacking at low level, it seems much more effective.

I train low attack for fighters as well - as much to increase defensive skill as anything. It's not common, but I have seen strafing by .50 cal mgs result in an "explosion" after hull penetration followed by minor fire. Every hit has potential to get a good damage roll.

SSTs can't load troops at Christmas Island...need a larger port to un-gray out the area. I have the option at Pearl for example. So for now the SSTs will carry supplies to our CAT bases.


Can that SST be used with the "Pick Up Troops" option? I.E. does it become available after you set "Troop Transport" as the mission?

Not the only relevant factor. Presence of enemy air is also a factor. Enemy air is not just the KB, a Glen on a submarine is also enemy air.

Try just one sub in the TF, not two subs.

I enjoy using IJ SSTs, despite most JFBs loathing them.

I see I get another chance in April of 43 to convert Clemsons to DE...not needed then, I wonder if the option to convert DE back to DD exist around then?
