[8\|] like I´ve said before, limit it to historic places, have it end earlier, screw it completely or IMO the best solution would be to screw it but have the Japanese accumulate 2 points prep per day in the first three months as it then would take 50 days to be 100% prepped for a target to land there in good condition... or have them accumulate 3 points per day so it takes a month to prepare for a non historic target, the historic troops are prepped for their historic targets anyway... but the amphib bonus as it is now just invites the Japanese to do totally screwed invasions without any preparation because if they fail, hey, no problem, just send in another dozen convoys one by one to unload in better condition then Allied can unload in a friendly port... have seen so many screwed invasions in this PBEM already but it just doesn´t matter, he can just send more and more and more... while the Allied can´t reinforce an invasion in 1945 if the reinforcements aren´t totally prepped for the target and unprepped units will be just 80% or more disabled for landing at a place you´ve already got 250.000 troops...

Well, the enemy didn´t move a single hex, which means my carriers were exactly ONE hex short to strike at the fully loaden enemy troop transports still sitting North West of Port Moresby... this not being bad enough, now KB is coming into play too... my carriers weren´t spotted so I will continue my operation because I doubt mortar will set KB to full speed to move into the area, he probably just moves down the "East" side of the island to come to cover his invasion... so my carriers will move further NW to stay at least 9 hexes away of KB which I expect to end up just off Buna or a little further East... this should mean our carriers are out of range (should NOT react) but we would still be in range of the enemy convoys next turn... a strong cruiser squadron is moving to Port Moresby to be there during the day to keep the enemy from landing... this will of course put my cruiser into close range of KB but we will have some 160 fighters at Port Moresby being set to 80% Cap 20% rest, this should mean at least some trouble to KB´s bomber units... if the enemy moves for PM this turn already his convoys won´t be there during the night and during the day my cruisers should have equal chance against the enemy cruisers that are for sure covering all these convoys, have not spotted any BBs yet... of course it could end in a total catastrophe if my carriers actually end up in range of KB, this only depends on KB´s speed settings now I guess... like I´ve said, I don´t want to lose PM, same goes for Darwin and both areas will be defended at more or less all cost, at least I´m taking quite some risk to defend them which doesn´t mean I would like to sacrifice my carriers... same goes for my reinforcement convoys, those will head back to Townsville, no reason to risk them at the moment...

[image]local://upfiles/13774/D2633E48AC624703970D76E25F28C06C.jpg[/image] Morning Air attack on TF, near Horn Island at 94,128 Weather in hex: Overcast Raid spotted at 20 NM, estimated altitude 14,000 feet. Estimated time to target is 7 minutes Japanese aircraft no flights Allied aircraft F2A-3 Buffalo x 4 F4F-3A Wildcat x 17 F4F-3 Wildcat x 30 SBD-3 Dauntless x 122 TBD-1 Devastator x 59 No Japanese losses Allied aircraft losses SBD-3 Dauntless: 1 damaged SBD-3 Dauntless: 1 destroyed by flak TBD-1 Devastator: 1 damaged as you can see, KB moved one hex shorter than we´ve expected but still ended up at the expected 9 hex to our carriers... as the last two days, the IJN convoys didn´t move and this time we moved close enough to also see our TBD attacking at 5 hexes so we were in perfect strike range... knowing that US torpedo bombers are only worth 1/10 of IJN torp bombers, we have set them to attack with bombs as this is something they are able to do... the two carrier TFs launch a perfectly coordinated strike and overcast meant perfect weather... in total 181 bombers were attacking three or four different TFs, mainly focussing on the enemy troop transports that carry most of the troops that took Horn Island so that includes also an IJA division that is hit hard now... a good number of bombers also attack the cruiser squadron that is covering the troop convoys, as expected there are no enemy BBs around... heavy cruiser Furutaka takes a 1000lb bomb that blows up her magazine which was pretty much the start of the carnage... Myoko, Kako and Haguro all take 1000lb bombs that should do some damage, none of them shows up being heavily damaged though... nevertheless I usually expect an IJN heavy cruiser to sink after taking three 1000lb bombs while being 1500 miles away of the next major port... Kinugasa also took a 1000lb bomb but seems not to be effected at all... now it´s definetely nice to see those heavy cruisers being hit (the biggest threat of all IJN ships besids their carriers) but the main target of course were the transports... I expect 15-17 of them being sunk today, all carrying troops and while it only shows some 3800 casualties during the attack, I expect to have destroyed major parts of the enemy division plus other smaller units... this attack means already to have stopped the reinforcement of IJ troops at PM cold and we´re going to try to wreck havoc within what is left of the enemy convoys... having convoys full of troops for days in the area without KB nearby is a little overconfident, I had my carriers in the area for weeks already, sitting under a 200 fighter Cap umbrella at Townsville so all that had to happen was KB to move back to Rabaul or Truk, which it does, leaving those precious convoys alone for too long...

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR... no strikes being launched... while we still had 180 bombers on our carriers and there was nice weather over both our carriers and the enemy convoys in range - NO STRIKE... pfff... mission accomplished though, Port Moresby is absolutely safe for the moment and if he wants to take the place then he has to pick up some other division and if he isn´t able to do that in the next couple of weeks he won´t have the oh so magic amphib bonus anymore so any landing attempt will have serious problem... the enemy carriers lost about 40% of the available bombers so I wouldn´t expect a full speed movement towards our carriers but I´m not sure mortar thinks the same because his actions weren´t really foreseeable in the past and knowing what superhuman IJN carrier bombers are I don´t want to have 80 of them attacking my carriers if I don´t have to. So that means my carriers will return to Townsville to sit under a nice Cap umbrella in more or less total safety while I have dispatched some cruiser squadrons to go hunt down the rest of the enemy fleet which is suspected to either try bringing everything afloat to Port Moresby to unload there or, more likely, to go to Horn Island to land the troops at their friendly base... all heavy cruisers have been hit and most of them are heavily damaged and we have at least twice the number of heavy cruisers so let´s see what the next days will bring... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sub attack near French Frigate Shoal at 171,108 Japanese Ships SS I-174 Allied Ships xAKL Honomu, Torpedo hits 2, on fire, heavy damage PC Tiger one of my small convoys around Hawaii is losing a ship, using these convoys to resupply all those little atolls...

we achieved a nice kill ratio today but it could have been far better as I´ve expected at leat some 120-130 fighters at Port Moresby being airborne with all the radar I have there and the high Cap %... with those losses and only being a little more than two months into the war, shouldn´t the enemy run low on Zeroes, Vals and Kates already?

I know how the game works, I do give tips not to do this or that, it is my fault to engage enemy ships, even if they were totally shot up before and are mostly fleeing... it is nothing but my fault because I know how the game is designed and how it has been working for years already... so lean back, build up, use your ships only to escort your carriers, use hundreds of 4Es from level 9 bases and move forward one by one... totally boring, but the biased design forces you to do so, no matter if early 42 or late 45, the way it is designed means a single Japanese ship is worth 3 or 4 Allied ships of the same class... so don´t engage them...

quote: ORIGINAL: jeffs I have noticed the same thing in my games with the Mark 10 dud rate....Hard to be upset when most of ones modern subs can not get a torpedo to work but when no S boats can get an explosion it seems......Messed up..[:@] I don´t know where it comes from, there should be a 4:1 chance for every Mk-10 hit to detonate which is by far not true so far in this game... it evens out (at least it should) over the long run but so far it is astonishing how many MK-10 or Dutch torps hit but fail to detonate... [:(] I try to be a little more positive (yes, I try[:D]), so I have to remember the enemy CVL that was sunk by MK-10 torps off Horn Island... remembering my girl friend saying "you are not positive enough for that game..."

The enemy is faster in picking up those unprepped troops from Port Blair to throw them again unprepped onto Ceylon than me in bringing in reinforcements to defend the place. Sorry, I guess I have never had a PBEM in all the years that showed so clearly how totally unrealistic and totally dumb that Japanese amphib bonus is. [8\|] Like I´ve said before, leave that bonus to historic units for their historic targets but get rid of it for all those unhistoric targets because in real life the Japanese were well prepared for their targets and that is where the amphib bonus design may have origined but the way it turns out in the game is truly dumb. The way it is now all you can do is to hope 31st March is coming around soon because otherwise the stupidity just goes on and on. Seeing Imperial Guards landing here already makes me sure Ceylon is lost as there are only 300 av defending Colombo and Imp Guards won´t be the only div landing here...
