Allied: The PT lookouts failed to see ANY of 37 larger to very much larger targets until that same instant. And conditions were clear. Feed them boys some carrots!

PT crew was so frightened so they "played dead". :)

jrcar -> RE: Tidbit (1/6/2009 12:11:24 AM)
I think the PT boat was out of torps and ammo when it "attacked" (aka "stumbled upon") the ships, having been involved (with a buddy) with another TF of mine prior to this action (and loosing its buddy, but badly hurting a DD). Cheers Rob AE BETA Breaker :)

Now we finally know what keeps us addicted to this game [:D]

Barb -> RE: Tidbit (1/6/2009 10:28:10 AM)
AMC? Army .... carrier?

EnricoR -> RE: Tidbit (1/6/2009 10:45:21 AM)
Armed Merchant Cruiser

Barb -> RE: Tidbit (1/6/2009 10:55:48 AM)
Ah, I just overlooked Akagi Maru in my reference book.

jrcar -> RE: Tidbit (1/6/2009 10:58:38 AM)
Yes AMC is Armed Merchant Cruisier, very handy as the Japanese for invasions, fast speed, resonable personnel and cargo load and they have decent guns as well so they can do their own counter battry. The LSD is very useful as well :) Getting your head round all the new ship classes takes some time, unlearning from stock and relearning. Cheers Rob AE BETA Breaker :)

RevRick -> RE: Tidbit (1/6/2009 1:17:34 PM)
Ah, I wondered when the LSDs were going to show up. It's a lot easier to swim out the back then drop off the front, and somewhat less... daunting, to say the least. There weren't a lot of them during the war, but some... Good. Now, have you made any provisions for helo squadrons, perchance? If not, don't let it slow anything down, but I just wondered about that as well.

doc smith -> RE: Tidbit (1/7/2009 10:12:56 PM)
History Channel (I think) had a piece on Jap helos flying from small carriers. The neat bit is that ships and helos were used in ASW and manned by army personnel! I was unable to find anything about this force - not listed among IJN assets and the Army info I have doesn't mention shipping.

Terminus -> RE: Tidbit (1/7/2009 10:14:57 PM)
Not helos, but Kayaba Ka-1 autogyros. We've got them.

Speedysteve -> RE: Tidbit (1/8/2009 10:13:47 AM)
What are they good for?

Terminus -> RE: Tidbit (1/8/2009 10:21:01 AM)
Not much, as you'd expect. They can do a bit of ASW, but that's it.

Speedysteve -> RE: Tidbit (1/8/2009 10:32:24 AM)
Short range also I guess?

Terminus -> RE: Tidbit (1/8/2009 10:39:10 AM)
Normal combat range is two hexes.

Shark7 -> RE: Tidbit (1/8/2009 4:04:33 PM)
Of course, the problem with the Ka-1 isn't so much that its not all that usefull, the problem is that the ship that ferries them about will sink the first time it leaves port. By the time Akitsu Maru and Nagitsu Maru would have had them, the US sub dominance was well established.

It's almost impossible to wrap my head around the vast array of changes that have taken place in AE - almost EVERYTHING has been tweaked or gutted and rebuilt. Which begs the question......if learning to play WitP required an ascent of the "learning cliff", what will AE demand? Oxygen? Pitons?

Which reminds me - we really need someone to compile a "Changelist" type thread so people can run over and immediately get their "is this feature included?" question answered. That'd cut down on the threads posted about 50%..

Make that: "Most everything, except for (insert your favorite nitpick here)." [;)]

Being paranoid is the way of the world for the Japanese. [:D]
