ORIGINAL: vonTirpitz Mike, did you have the option to "have escorts bombard" turned on? My experience is that this option orders your bombardment TF to be closer to the shore than not and thus subject to more of the CD guns. I've generally been very respectful of bases with good CD and minefields such as Bataan and Singapore (i.e. close range/long range didn't matter - your bombardment TF will get hurt). However, the Java bases are not too well armed with "large" CD guns so I have rarely had any problem bombarding from long range. I try to keep the escorts bombard option turned off unless there are few or no CD guns. My Jap BB bombardment of Soerabja did NOT have escorts on, but the BB's still got chewed up. But in my Allied game, the Batavia CD guns will not fire. Is it a leader thing perhaps?
