SargeantTex -> Kido Butai II (12/17/2005 11:39:21 PM)

I already have my second Kido Butai planned out with
Junyo
Hiyo
Shoho
Zuiho
Ryujo
Ryuho
I will probably use the Aoba class CA's and a CL with her destroyers as escorts.
I put all these together cause they all have the same relative top speed.



el cid again -> RE: Kido Butai II (12/17/2005 11:41:58 PM)

This will do fine (with some escorts) vs merchantmen and minor surface forces. They will not do well against a real enemy carrier force. Recommend adding some Seaplane carriers - to help with finding the enemy - and add a few bombs - on merchants it matters.

I agree with El Cid. When I am playing in the first year, I divide the KB into 3 TF. Two heavy CVs by Division (Hiryu/Soryu, Akagi/Kaga, Sho/Zui) with 1-2 CVL and then Junyo/Hiyp when they are finished. Each TF carries a little over 200 planes. That should be enough versus any two American CV in 1942. It has worked. Read my Wolfpack vs. John III AAR--I've sunk 3 CV and lost only a CVL.

Good Luck!
