Historiker -> Ineffective PH attack? (9/16/2009 12:52:22 PM)

I've seen a lot of "PH strike broken?" threads where everyone claims that the strikes are too effective.
Well, in 15 test runs of my scenario 2 PBEM, I never sank a single BB in PH. I didn't change anything with the KB and use the latest public patch.

Whats the reason?

Maybe it didn't show up yet due to FOW?

As it is a test game you can allways inspect from the other side, I would be quite stunned if those 4 times torpedoed BBs are still afloat

It seems your pilots are quite modest for being airmen [8D]




Xargun -> RE: Ineffective PH attack? (9/16/2009 2:26:44 PM)

I would agree... its FOW. Login as the Allies and check your sunk ships and start counting the BBs. But to be honest, you are better off crippling them to massive levels then actually sinking most of them. It effectively takes them out of the game and tricks the allied player into spending years of repair time to fix them. Some BBs may not be repaired until late '43 or '44 even - by then its slowness is nothing but another torpedo magnet.

rockmedic109 -> RE: Ineffective PH attack? (9/16/2009 2:37:12 PM)

I've just run through about twenty first turns to get the one I want for my AI game.  I wanted 2 battleships sunk and the rest fairly heavily damaged.  I should've gone with the DEC 8 scenario but wanted to actually see the war from the start.  Most of the runs had more than two BBs sunk.  A couple had zero or one.  A couple had 2 sunk and two {or more} with >96% FLOT damage and fires that I felt would make them sink before they could get into drydock. 

I also had one that the power died in my laptop before I could save it {volume was down to not disturb my sleeping partner so I didn't hear the low battery beep}.  Of course it had exactly what I wanted in the attack.

Ten runs without one being sunk is either an extreme case of bad dice rolls {something I was famous for in Star Fleet Battles} or more likely FOW is making it so you are not seeing them sink. 







Dr. Duh -> RE: Ineffective PH attack? (9/16/2009 3:09:53 PM)

As allies I restarted after my first try yielded 6 BBs sunk on the first strike. I decided to go with my 2nd try when only two were sunk and the rest only moderately damaged - I thought, hmmm, this is going to work out just right. Yeah...

The next day came and KB was still hanging around and launched a second attack. Fortunately nothing major sank, but all the BBs racked up a lot of additional damage. Since he was only 3 hexes out, I decided to try a sortie with all my undamaged cruisers and DDs to see if I could catch him in a surface action. It worked, and although all 3 cruisers were seriously damaged and two DDs sunk, I managed to put a lot of shell hits on Soryu and one of his battleships. I figured that should chase him away... but nooOOOooo!

The next day a sub managed to torpedo Soryu, but he still hung around for another PH strike. Finally after 6 days he started a leisurely withdrawal up towards Midway, bombing airfields all the way. I managed another torpedo hit (I had about 10 subs dogging him), but Soryu just wouldn't sink - I kept getting a report and every day was seeing her in that day's tally of sunk ships, but it was always turning out to be just FOW.

I was gonna get mad if she managed to limp all the way home, but finally I saw a big jump in aircraft losses for the day (25+ zeroes, 15+ each Kates and Vals) attributed to "ground", so I guess that meant she sank and wasn't able to fly off any of her squadrons beforehand (would the AI even do that?) - or maybe her flight deck was too damaged or something.

So I ended up with like 30+ ships with major damage and not a single undamaged combatant in PH, but very few sank. The cost to KB was the Soryu and about 150 planes and pilots (I lost a lot more planes than that but who cares).




Remenents -> RE: Ineffective PH attack? (9/16/2009 3:17:35 PM)

Ya, I have noticed that KB likes to hang around more than 1 day unless you put together some sort of attack with subs and/or ships to chase it away. Out of 10 total restarts wih the game, probably about 8 times KB has hung around for more than 1 day unless I do something to chase it away. Not sure why this is, since "historically" she only struck out with 2 waves and in a 1 day time frame.

Most of the time when KB hits me, I lose at least 2 BBs. A few times I have lost 4 or 5 and another time not a single BB was sunk, but all took moderate to severe damage (which is actually worse if that happens).

I have yet to be able to sink any of the KB ships, even turning off historic first turns ect and making a bunch of TFs to go after where I know she will be, the best I have managed is a few shell hits and a torp or two from my subs. KB is pretty much invincible those first few turns. :)

I think you won that battle. 150 lost pilots for the IJN is devastating. A big start on the attrition war.




Q-Ball -> RE: Ineffective PH attack? (9/16/2009 5:57:56 PM)

In AE, pilot losses on the carriers are going to hurt ALOT more. JFBs have to be extremely careful not to attrite out pilots.

Tell me about it![:(]




Q-Ball -> RE: Ineffective PH attack? (9/16/2009 6:09:31 PM)

It is so critical, that you will have to be VERY careful on your aircraft settings. Some rules of thumb I plan to use:

1. No Airbase Attacks whatsoever, unless critical to success of an invasion. But you should NEVER use your CV to attack land targets if you can help it

2. No Nav Attacks on ships with LBA Cap over them, unless it's an important target. As the Allies, I would welcome a KB strike against 4 unloading xAKLs at Port Moresby, for example, if I had 50 P-40s on CAP.

Pretty much I want to save it for hitting ships that don't have CAP, or for USN CVs.

Same holds for IJN LBA; you have to be very careful not to have your Nells/Bettys fly after low-priority targets and get chewed up by CAP.




Dr. Duh -> RE: Ineffective PH attack? (9/16/2009 6:18:44 PM)

"Cry havoc, and let slip the dogs of war"

Not a good idea in this war as JPN because it's so hard to get them back on a leash when there's still plenty of good pillaging to be had...




JWE -> RE: Ineffective PH attack? (9/16/2009 6:39:27 PM)

I am really curious why folks who have PH issues don't try the Dec. 8 scenario 006. Is there something in the scenario that just don't float your boat? What can be done (realistically) to make this scenario work for you?




Historiker -> RE: Ineffective PH attack? (9/16/2009 6:58:31 PM)

Hmm...
I perhaps should go to the Tech support section. I have a question and wasn't interested in starting a discussion...


And guys: I'm not stupid... In a testrun, I can see both sides...

I have a PBEM scenario 2 - and I want freedom of choice. I have no problem with an iffective strike against PH as I accept a variety in the results - that's fine to me.
But isn't it allowed to wonder why the PH-Strike seems to be totally uselss in my PBEM-testruns? When my opponent sends the Force Z south I won't get a single BB.

Is asking for the reason a problem?

Historiker -> RE: Ineffective PH attack? (9/16/2009 7:11:22 PM)

Is it really that difficult to understand that I'm wondering why the KB strike against PH doesn't sink a single ship in more than a dozend tests?

Well, many people have seen just the opposite results and are screaming about over-effective PH strikes. And just about everybody is complaining about Force Z always getting whacked. So, I guess everybody wonders why ...

You can fix this and get all the freedom of choice you want, by using the Dec. 8 scenario 006, and setting the "Non-Historical" switch. That way, you get a reasonable facsimile of PH and PI damage (in planes and ships), and the game starts up with the Allied side, so you can give whatever orders you want to Force Z. I'm having a real hard time understanding the difficulty on this one. We have been smiling and dialing, testing and playing, and have not encountered any of these difficulties. Is there something we're missing?

I think it has a lot to do with people just preferring to start at the beginning. It's one of the reasons I kept argueing to "tighten up" the potential range of results in the PH strike. People expect an "historical start" to come out resembling history (give or take a bit)..., and this one has results that jump all over the place.

Mynok -> RE: Ineffective PH attack? (9/16/2009 7:59:54 PM)


I think what JWE is trying to say nicely is that 'tightening up' isn't going to happen and scenario 6 is the best they can do for you.

No, no. I have no agenda on any of this. I'm just naturally curious, that's all.




witpqs -> RE: Ineffective PH attack? (9/16/2009 8:22:01 PM)

Well I do not think that the PH results should be 'tightened up'. I like the variability. IRL we only know what happened in the one instance, we do not (cannot) know what the odds were. Maybe the results as obtained were 80% likely, or maybe they were 1 in 10. We just can't really know. So, I think tightening up around the one IRL result might just result in a worse 'simulation' aspect of the game because we would be skewing the game odds toward one particular roll of the dice result obtained IRL.

In my AI starts I have only seen either 0 or 1 PH BB sunk I think 1 time out of about 5 or 6 starts. The rest of the time the BB's get blasted big time, usually over several days. One time a BB was sunk by a single midget sub torpedo.

Historiker, I think you are just having bad luck, so to speak.

And that's what I do! I don't ask for a historic start scneario but whether anybody knows the reason for the uselss PH-strikes.

apparently nobody knows.




loricas -> RE: Ineffective PH attack? (9/16/2009 9:02:56 PM)

i' m made same test changing nothing also (scenario 1) i don't know if there are same change in 2:

20 run: force Z 3 both sink (1 time 1 DD also), 6 1 sink 1 damaged around 50%, 4 both damaged, 3 1 damaged 1 save, 3 both save or very light damage: depending a lot on Buffalo CAP presence/performance
,
PH: 2 time 6 BB, 1 time 5 BB, 3 time 3 BB, 5 time 2 BB, 6 time 1 BB, 3 time none: depending on presence of CAP, even if none came in contact with bomber end more with the number of nate carring torpedo (BB sunk first day or immediately after due to high fire on board, real result no FOW)

so i think there is a big range of results, where the most usual is 1 or 2 BB, around the same that in WITP , where i think there is a mistake is in the low nomber of aircraft loss for KB from 10 to 15 never more...

these changing nothing (and scen 1)..if your question is what to change to have better result (on average)..is another questions

Actually, yes we can. Please name all the things that went wrong tactically during the attack. Strategically, the carriers weren't there, which was a dissappointment..., but during the actually attack every problem the Japanese had anticipated failed to arise. Total suprise, no CAP, AAA unmanned..., you name the advantage and the Japanese had it. So in reality, the historical results were pretty much the top end of what could be expected from this attack. You can name all kinds of things what would have created worse results, but none that would create better ones.

You can say that more bombs could have hit..., but that's bull. These were the best pilots in the IJN, operating under optimum conditions, and this is what they achieved. Too say that they could have done 3-4 times better is just not statistically viable.




morganbj -> RE: Ineffective PH attack? (9/16/2009 9:08:43 PM)

Well, I'm one of those that complained about being hit for SIX straight days at PH.  For five of those days, the KB was three hexes away and there was little I could do but send out a few destroyers and a CL to try to do some damage.  A lucky hit maybe.  Eventually, though, I spoted a tanker TF and tore it up with my DD's.  As the KB moved away on day six, I actually sank two of the CV's and hit a CVE pretty badly with my CAG's.  I had moved my CV's to a couple of amush positions to the east and south of Midway.  Although the KB was pretty crafty at avoiding discovery, I finished off the two CV's that my DD's had done some damage to.  I hit the CVE with a lucky raid just south of Midway on about day eight to finish the action.  Its CAP was probably scattered all over Oahu or below deck getting repaired.

But, as my game as progressed, it really didn't make much difference as it turns out.  It's early 43 and I've already got about 133% score advantage that is increasing every day, si I will easily "win."  I've lost no CV's of any flavor (pretty close a few times) and have taken out 6 Japanese CV's and two CVE's.  The KB only has one surviving carrier, I think.  But, I play the game to try to simulate the war as much as I can, not to "win."  I like trying different strategies and such.  So "winning is not all that important.

I have to say that it was actually kind of fun, but I would still argue that something like that was not very likely to happen in 1941.  I don't think the IJN would risk its carriers by hanging around getting less and less results due to increasingly damaged planes and lost pilots.  The last three days of the onslaught, the attacks were MUCH less effective as the raids were much smaller.  The extra losses to them just weren't worth it.  In future engagements, I could tell that the KB had lost most of its punch.

I guess I'm one of those that would like to see something closer to the real events, too.  A little less variability is the key.  I may start my next game with the December 8th scenario, but there's something very sentimental about seeing the Arizona sail out to sea after being fixed up in dry dock.  I plan on using her to bombard Tokyo one day, if I can.

So, I don't have a big problem with the PH situation.  I can live with it as it is. 




loricas -> RE: Ineffective PH attack? (9/16/2009 9:35:08 PM)

the first thing you can change: the Kate group of two CV (54 in total) that are setting to strike PH airfield.

the second: split the torpedo bomber groups in three part: is more difficult to keep extreme result but the average is a little more high

in WITP pay high put additional pilot in from start: not here: came with low experience (compared with the yet presents) so they are a damege in the first strike...can be useful obiouvsly if you think to made more than 1 strike.

and also: assure the pilots that hitting PT with port full of capital ship grant harakiri next day[;)]

You can't even measure '3-4 times better'. What does that mean? More ships sunk? Oil storage destroyed? It's meaningless statistically and any other quantifiable way.

Could they have sunk more ships? Of course. Likely? No.

Mike - I agree with what you write here. It's just that you are addressing a different question. Yes, I too think the results were on the high end. Given that the carriers were absent just how much could have gone better? Not a whole lot. But the point I am making is this: we cannot know what was the likelihood of the attack turning out that way? Sure, we can rule out 100%. We can rule out the really low percentages too. But what was it - 20% likely, 80% likely, 50% likely? The world wonders! So when we look at the game results from 1,000 Pearl Harbor attack runs, it is hard for us to know how true to the real life odds are those game results. Should the "average" be two BB's sunk (game equivalent to real life results), none sunk, 5 sunk, etc.? Dunno.
