How do you classify when a ship was "sunk" by a sub? Sometimes the ship doesn't sink until many days later and many miles later, enroute to home base. Other times a sub might sink a ship which was badly damaged by other means first, etc. etc. I guess I'm trying to say, sometimes the classification process might be "fuzzy", so curious how you're handling this.

Rysyonok -> RE: Tonnage sunk by SSs (5/1/1923) (8/16/2006 6:38:09 PM)
A sub had to have delivered the final blow, as confirmed by combatreport.txt and sunk ship listing. That's why I keep all the combat reports as in some cases I had to go back 2 months. :)

This time raiders get to run into IJN destroyers, a battle I was longing for quite some time, ever since IJN CL raids in the Marshalls in late 1922. And the result was as expected: converted CLs with their main caliber range of 24,000 vandalize any and all destroyer opposition. I was a bit surprised at how short were the battles; still, 9 hits to 1 in return are something to celebrate. Of course, the downside of using converted CLs is their weak armor. The single shell hit that they did take incurred 22 in system damage. Ouch. There are 49 CLs afloat around Tokyo. That's one of every DD and PC that IJN still has :) AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR 05/08/23 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ASW attack at 65,45 Japanese Ships DD Hakaze DD Aoi DD Sumire DD Kashiwa Allied Ships SS R-19 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ASW attack at 64,44 Japanese Ships PC Ch13 PC Ch05 PC Ch07 DD No.1 PC Ch20 PC Ch19 DD No. 4 PC Ch22 PC Ch21 Allied Ships SS R-25 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ASW attack at 80,78 Japanese Ships SS No. 18 Allied Ships DD Perry DD Zeilin DD Farragut DD Corry -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Coastal Guns at hex 72,37 firing, at TF 1055 TF 1055 troops unloading over beach at 72,37 48 Coastal gun shots fired in defense.

Poor raiders....[:-] it seems you sent them, on purpose, in a only way mission, keeping them on torpedo bombers range and for too much time on the same waters (this allowed the jap to intercept them)... any reason behind that? Are you disappointed with their performances? Japanese submarines are out-performing yours in the last weeks... What about using 5-6 subs as screen for your raider TFs?

Rysyonok -> RE: May 10, 1923 (9/21/2006 6:19:32 AM)
Well, I am using about 15 subs as a screen for my raiders... on my strategic map the whole Japan is appearing to be cocooned in light green dots... they are just not hitting anything. Subs are purely a defensive weapon. And I am on the offensive. As for torpedo bomber range... I got no choice. I sit 2 hexes out, and I can't intercept anything. I move to 1 hex... Actually, if you look at the numbers, the battle took place 2 hexes away from Tokyo. Am I disappointed in their performance? No. I am disappointed in those unrealistic minefields which prohibited me from attacking any major Japanese island. I am disappointed in USA OOB with divisions starting the game with 60% of their artillery and no tanks. I am disappointed in those pesky base forces - I seriously believe they throw the game balance off in favor of the defender. But I am glad I am learning all of this now so that Cautionaries II will be that much better ;)
