ORIGINAL: Coach Z I fear this is going to start trouble again, so I apologize in advance...but there was what I felt was a valid question asked and it was never answered. Plus I feel that it is something of some importance that needs to be fixed. Will something be done to reduce the effectiveness of 20mm and 50 caliber MG fire from PT Boats against Japanese warships; especially IJN destroyers? Can anyone recall PT Boats scoring tremndous successes versus large naval assets during the wa? (even at the Battle of Surigao Strait all their torpedoes missed). Destroyers got their name from the term torpedo boat destroyers (that was to be their main function-then they became the torpedo carrying assets of the fleet), but that does not hold true in WitP. It seems that the AE is trying to make many things more relastic i.e limiting # of torpedoes on a carrier, etc, but what about this one? It seems that this topic is just as valid and can also sway the game way out of proportion. As many people have said we must weigh what might have happened; the potential of this weapons systems versus what actually happened. When my PC's, MSW's, and transports (AKs & APs) get decimated by PT Boats I take it in stride...they should get blasted, but when a Light Cruiser and several destroyers get out gunned by a squadron of PT Boats....well then something's wrong. Please consider this something to ammend/fix as well. There is no outstanding AE issue on this subject. All the naval action has been reviewed and many changes were made. It is not possible to directly answer this question without spending a lot of time, which I ain't got.
