Koniev -> Befuddled Newbie Question No. 26 (2/9/2008 3:06:22 PM)

Hi all -

I've been studying - especially the AAR's - and have begun the entire war scenario. In 5 or 6 years I might be able to do something intelligent with this game.

It's the first week. I am transferring planes around to where I think they'll do the most harm. My question is this: Does it matter what mission is selected when all your doing is transferring to another base?

Thanks

I usually put them on stand down... is quite usefull when you need to jump between bases where the AF size is small and the planes get damaged and you need to repair them fast to jump to another base... but when you need to jump in and do something fast choose the mission type you need... [;)]

Thanks Yava - I was transferring a group of Coronados from LA to PH. I left them on ASW cause the area around PH is swarming with subs.  After the KB got through with Pearl, there wasn't much left of the Catalina squadrons.

Hi Koniev,

Congratulations!  You have graduated beyond the stage of "befuddled newbie".  Now you are simply "befuddled", just like the rest of us.  [;)] 

Please include some topic clues in the title when you start threads in the future.   I like your topics, but I do not track topics by question number.

[:D] Sorry guys, until you hit 250 posts you are officially newby's. But you are both well on your way to being oldby's...[:D]



Oldguard1970 -> RE: Befuddled Newbie Question No. 26 (2/9/2008 9:33:23 PM)

Naah - - I can't be an "oldby".  I don't have any seniority or age in the forum.  Now Koniev, on the other hand.... well, 2002 really was quite some time ago.



AW1Steve -> RE: Befuddled Newbie Question No. 26 (2/9/2008 11:09:04 PM)

If you both keep posting you will be.One post  at a time....[:)]

It does not matter what the mission is set to, but remember a couple of factors.

  • Transferrng bases increases the fatigue of the pilots like any mission will.
  • The longer the distance between bases, the greater the fatigue
  • The greater the fatigue at the end of the transfer, the greater the operational losses


For this reason, you don't want to transfer a highly fatigued unit a long distance. You probably want to rest between transfers. If you want to see how this works, try this Transfer your Coronados along this route: West Coast - Pearl - Noumea - Port Moresby - Soerabaja - Colombo. Don't wait for all planes to become operational, just keep transferring and follow up with fragments as planes become undamaged. You will be lucky to have half of your planes and pilots left. The fatigue will be through the roof and lots of planes will get lost in transit.

Hi wwengr -

Well, the Coro's weren't too tired. It's only Dec 8. They might have a little hangover from their hanging out in the San Diego bars but I think it was like 8%. These guys are sceduled for the CenPac so they won't be going anywhere for awhile.

What you describe sounds like PacWar.

I'm really desparate for ASW at Pearl. Although Halsey has the Enterprise in port, Admiral Brown is out near French Frigate Shoals with Lexington and Saratoga is on the west coast. I count 20 submarines around PH. I've got to get them cleared before Brown attempts port. I think I've got like 6 PBY's, a couple Bolos, and some other stuff for ASW work. I have Halsey's planes set for Naval attack except for the TBD's - I figure they might as well look for subs too since they don't have a prayer against Japanese fighters.
