quote: ORIGINAL: dpstafford quote: ORIGINAL: JWE Ship damage is almost an order of magnitude more grainy than stock. Stock had four damage data fields; SysDam, FlotDam, EngDam, and Fires. AE has the same four, but also allocates a certain portion of FlotDam and EngDam as “major” damage. So this is the sort of thing that has taken so long? I seriously hope that you spent some of that time on things that aren't so cosmetic. That you spent some of that time working on stuff that actually needed fixed. Ya damn right. I worked on stuff I wanted to work on. You got a whine? I don't see your dick on the table.

What buffoonery. JWE and AE guys keep on keeping on and don't be distracted by the "Nattering nabobs of negativism". We are a niche audience but your efforts are appreciated.

I just can't believe they wasted effort on floatation damage. But you have a point--this is no time for second guessing. I'll save that for later.

It already has floatation damage. I would estimate that I have played more turns of PW/UV/WITP, by an order of magnitude, than you ever will. It is, in fact, the only game I play.

Would Tom Thumb have taken the Carrier and her Fulmars into the Gulf of Siam with him. Would the Fulmars have been able to handle the Betties and Nells, or would Indomitable have joined POW and Repulse on the bottom? i believe she still had sea gadiators at the time. and no it wouldn't of made a diff it would of just got it sunk. there were not enough fighters to deal with all the bombers. Good grief, no... Sea Gladiators??? During this time period, she carried Fulmars, Sea Hurricanes and Martlets. Still wouldn't have saved her or the rest of Force Z, since she (like all other RN carriers) carried too few aircraft to be effective.

If a couple of key "leader aircraft" of the attacking aircraft had been forced to abort, the whole attack could have fallen apart... i doubt the odds on this were high, but strange, strange things happen in combat. This could be an interesting "what if" scenario...

IRL the IJN units in question never came close to repeating the performance of that attack on Force Z...seems to me that a few fighters lighting up some of the "Ronsons" might well have altered that outcome on that day. In the campaign though the ships would have had to withdraw from the region of Singapore or be sunk simply because the Japanese had far more air assets in the area than Britian could muster for quite some months.

Actually, thinking on it, it is quite possible that a few CV fighters and patrol aircraft could have decisively altered the outcome of events: the whole thing hinged on a sighting report of Force Z by a few aircraft, that had been alerted by a sub, iirc... had the sub been sighted and "driven under" before making the contact by aircraft, or the aircraft been intercepted and driven off before sighting the ships, things might have been dramatically different...

Let's not forget that one Wildcat saved the Lexington against a betty attack at the begining of Coral Sea.

A very old term, refering to US Navy sailors, much as grunts refers to US Army soldiers. Don't know where it came from. Keep forgetting there's other language speakers who look here, and use American shorthand a bit.

This could be an interesting "what if" scenario... There would have been three instead of two targets, and Force Z would have had some CAP. Experience in WWII was that anti-shipping attacks by IJN bombers were much less effective if they encountered opposition, and without escorting fighters, they were extremely vulnerable to interceptors. Look at what happened to the same air group in the South Pacific. Yes, this could be an interesting "what if" scenario.
