pacificbetta -> Removing pesky PTs....... (12/2/2010 9:16:02 PM)

Situation: Opposition has a mined port and a PT taskforce in it. Now I will very much like to directly land an invasion force right onto the port, but with his PT taskforce set to defending only the port hex I am in a dilemena. Airstrikes does obviouly little help on the PTs, and is costly if it ties down the KB to such mundane tasks. Do I send in the minesweepers in first (and get repelled by the PTs) or send in a light surface action TF (and risk the ships to mines) or merge send in a combo taskforce(minesweeper+surface action) ?

How do you guys clear out such a defence, or is there even a minimal risk strategy involved?

Sounds like a job for a TF with DD's and DMS's.

Hit it with Helens a few times.

Do fighters on 100ft still attack PT boats like the old WitP days? Thats always as option should it still happen.

Yes, use very high exp zeros set at 100 feet. Range is a factor and detection as well but they will attack on occasion. Same with P39s vs barges. Most times they will just pass up on the attack but when they do they "raise hell"

I am finding the PTs acutally work very well vs landing barges as well.

Engage the PT's in daylight with DMS and DD's you'll tear them apart.
