Sneer -> initial strike (4/5/2006 11:28:21 PM)
|
i'm highly disappointed with Singapore result - only 1 of 10 kate groups run with torpedos Lady's luck bless to Andy - he will probably run drunk when he sees results only Ark Royal and Hermes sunk instantly Formidable got 40 bombs - like many other ships but lethality of 800kg bombs is very low comparing to torps - lack of nells in port attack is visible and if was allowed all major ships wpuld be sunk today - instead of this I had to use them on airfield attack all important ships as well as 3 CAs on fire and heavy damaged - probably most of them in 80's and 90 's but with little float dmg - simulations showed as Andy pointed 4-5 capitals sunk and I have never seen so weak strike - good point that airfield is heavily damaged and lot of fighters were destroyed on ground so I can repeat strike - enemy bombers were dispersed so on one hand I didn't managed to kill them on the ground but they were unable to strike back hard - secondary strike on Manila - average results with few Subs sunk and many heavy damaged- there are so many sips there that i don't even try to strike all of them landings went smoothly - major at Lingayen and Khota baru - both ap 100k+ troops with secondary locations at Appari , Kuantan and tertiary on whole northern Borneo and rest of philipine outer ports Wake was taken as expected - i'll try to block enemy here and on marshalls using large numbers of nells - i think he can only use 3 CV within first 2-3 weeks so cap will not be adequate in this mod also reinforcements will go to the region - my 2 cvls from PI + 2 CVE should offset at leat 1 carrier backed by heavy ships -also 1 big shanghai division is directed to the area rabual should fall before andy's ship will reach area overall evaluation of 1st tyrn is bad - i intended to instantly sweep Java with carriers and now I need to repeat strike probably I will send only kates with cover and vals will stay on naval attack - I expect Andy to use cruisers against kuantan in the night - I have 2 TF with 4BB each covering place but Andy has 60+ torpedo planes in the area so they can't stay close - also their ammo level is low I assume i need 3 days to be on shores so there are 2 critical days left only - I estimate i can loose 10+ transports but there is a chance I will cut off alor star / georgetown area from Singapore - otherwise Andy will be forced to withdraw immiedietaly to singapore and with most of malaya taken I would be able to close port and airfield troops dislocation on malaya Alor star 2 inf div + support 1000+AP khota baru 3 inf div + support 1500+AP kuantan half of inf div + 1 inf bde + marines equivalent of full inf div 800+AP there is also 150 LB and similar amount of DB in the area as well as 80 nells will be left here PI lingayen 3-4 inf div + support < i don't remember correctly> appari BDE legaspi - marines - i expect i will send BDE from davao in 6-7 days half inf div is PI reserve and if initial offensive will be working well it will be send to malaya AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR 12/07/41 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sub attack at 45,55 Japanese Ships DD Hikugumo DD Shiokaze
