Ursa MAior -> Allied DC (2/12/2008 11:36:35 AM)
|
I remember in one of my first really detailed book of US CVs (Squadron/Signal US aircraft carriers in acion Part I), there was something like a page devoted to the loss of Lady Lex. Basically she (and Wasp) have sunk the same way as many japanese carriers did. Hit by submarine torps while refueling craft. The book cited a DC specialist who advised the filling of the refueling pipes with CO2 while under attack. It was stated there too that the adoptation of this method took some time use (even if it was used at Midway on the Yorktown). Other methods (like training the whole crew in DC) were also used only from summer of 42 extensively.
This or that way allied DC started to be superior due to the evaluation of the early war accidents (something the IJN was never really capable of).
Based on the above (not 100% researched) opinion my question would be whether a different allied DC superirity would be included.
1. like Zero bonus getting better with time to a maximum (current level) at say 01/06/1942
2. affecting all allied (french, aussie, british, dutch, US merchant) ships
THX in advance.
Edited for spelling
