Usually we feel the loss of a dozen aircraft, no matter if Corsairs, P-38, or other frontline aircraft. Of course we´ve got ample TBF and SBD in the pool as the enemy refused to end up in range of them for the whole war so these are not doing anything but sitting around idle... while I´m still trying to minimize my losses as much as possible (that´s what I´ve been doing for the whole war), the loss of say 50 Corsairs in one day would completely drain my pools... the loss of 50 British Thunderbolts would be irreplacable and the worst thing I could imagine in terms of aircraft losses would be to see 50 B-29 being lost...

PBs can carry supply. Some of them can carry a lot. Also, they can be assigned to run fast transport type convoys which is of a great benefit to the Japanese player.

I´m stuck with APDs to carry troops in fast transports and got a couple of fast AVD to carry 250 supplies each, hence fast transport wasn´t used very often during the whole war. When I´ve used it earlier, once the TF got stuck due to the damned movement bug and the whole TF of APDs was promtly sunk of course.

Group patrol altitude is 38500 Time for all group planes to reach interception is 2 minutes the difference in performance between Zekes and Georges/Jacks is IMO really a big one, same goes for Oscar and Tojo/Frank and I would not be keen on seeing the IJNAF flying George/Jack exclusively so I´m not that unhappy with a somewhat restricted upgrade path even with PDU on. Just to point out, I´m stuck with restricted upgrades too with quite some of my squadrons, many USMC squadrons that fly Corsairs can´t be up/downgraded. I have to admit that it´s something different if you´re "stuck" with Corsairs instead of being stuck with Zekes... Every IJ player should definately focus on Frank for IJAAF and George/Jack for IJNAF frontline squadrons IMO, especially in the frontline when in range of lots of Allied short range fighters. Guess Frank/George/Jack take 1/3 less losses while inflicting 1/3 more within the enemy. Of course if you run into superior numbers that get a radar/dive/kill loop then nothing is going to help you and your pilots die as easily in a Zeke as they do in a Jack... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Morning Air attack on Calapan , at 78,79 Weather in hex: Light rain Raid spotted at 40 NM, estimated altitude 35,000 feet.

Good work! Looks like enemy resistance is more or less broken...Within another year you should be on the shores of Formosa and Okinawa. What about kamikazes, you have broken into the inner defensive perimeter by now but I haven't seen them in action yet!?

[:D] The game is four weeks ahead the AAR now and we have seen the first unit of Sallies doing a kamikaze attack, which totally caught me by surprise as I´ve thought I would have to be further North to activate them. Didn´t matter as the attack failed though. The next couple of weeks/months are going to see a three major operations, timeline only depends on the travel/loading time of my two invasion convoys with nearly 200 ships, all APA/LSD/AKA/LST, perfectly suited for my invasions to drop halve a dozen divisions plus a hell a lot of support and supplies wherever I want in a day or two.

Sorry to call it silly, but that´s just what it is... 200 fighters sweeping here, probably the same number returned to the carriers which means there were around 400 fighters trying to escort a LBA strike against a target where the next enemy fighter is based 180 miles away... [sm=crazy.gif][sm=crazy.gif] despite the attempt to escort LBA strikes with carrier aircraft all the time being silly already, the fact that they fail doing so 100% makes it completely ridicoulos... but hey, just stupid castor´s oppinion and I´m not much more than someone trying to tell the comunity "it´s all broken"...

Nice job at Clark Field... i thought naval bombardment was tweaked in Allied Edition....

I didnt think the raid on Clark was too bad? Re going via Bataan: It was brought up in early days, firstly that the Clark hex represents both Subic Bay & Clark Field. IRL you could bombard Subic but Clark was well out of range. Some far smarter people than me edited pwhex to make them 2 hexes. Secondly you dont pass the main batteries around the southern tip of Bataan to get to Subic and if you want to defend Subic you place your defeders there. Very interesting game and comments, 1 think the game is about 98% right, there just some annoying bits that need work.

Naval bombardments were tweaked in AE, we damned players found a way to get back to the nuking bombardments though. [;)] Not as often as we were used to in WITP but still. I think how AE treats nav bombardments was also a step forward, one of many.

Very interesting game and comments, 1 think the game is about 98% right, there just some annoying bits that need work. it definately wasn´t bad, it just has been surprising (to me as well to my opponent [:D]) that my cruisers passing by Bataan suddenly drew a hell a lot of CD fire. It has just been a comment on how the game works and that it has surprised me, without looking at a WWII map and the location of all CD I couldn´t tell you from memory which battery could reach out to hit this or that TF moving to a place in that region. AE is a big improvement over WITP, like you said there are still things to be done IMO. I wouldn´t give it a 98% though, rather a 90-95% which isn´t a bad result at all. [;)] What annoys me the most aren´t the things I think would be flawed but the comments telling me they would work just perfect.

quote: ORIGINAL: castor troy AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR Jul 06, 44 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the difference in performance between Zekes and Georges/Jacks is IMO really a big one, same goes for Oscar and Tojo/Frank and I would not be keen on seeing the IJNAF flying George/Jack exclusively so I´m not that unhappy with a somewhat restricted upgrade path even with PDU on. Just to point out, I´m stuck with restricted upgrades too with quite some of my squadrons, many USMC squadrons that fly Corsairs can´t be up/downgraded. I have to admit that it´s something different if you´re "stuck" with Corsairs instead of being stuck with Zekes... Every IJ player should definately focus on Frank for IJAAF and George/Jack for IJNAF frontline squadrons IMO, especially in the frontline when in range of lots of Allied short range fighters. Guess Frank/George/Jack take 1/3 less losses while inflicting 1/3 more within the enemy. Of course if you run into superior numbers that get a radar/dive/kill loop then nothing is going to help you and your pilots die as easily in a Zeke as they do in a Jack... The problems with George, Jacks, Tonys and Franks are the same that occur with the early corsair and P38. The "3" service rating makes them very dangerous to use at forward bases-especially for Japan as any disabled planes are then prime target for hammering by Allied heavies. They are better used in rear bases-especially those located on a rail line as disabled planes can magically then be loaded up on flat cars and whisked away on a moments notice. At a forward base after a massive battle-even if the Japanese defender wins the air fight, there will be tons of fighters damaged and on the tarmac. This is when you bomb. The difficulty for japan is they really have no choice but to use these planes at forward bases some of the time whereas a careful Allied player can avoid this or just make the base too deadly for Japanese bombers. Then again, they don't seem to be running short of these planes......

And higher Cap settings doesn´t work well anyway because your pilots will drop dead due to fatigue. I´ve got not problem with my service rating 3 fighters to keep them on Cap and I suppose it´s the same for the Japanese as long as they manage to get over the 250 av support which is what they surely have at all their major airfields.
