quote: ORIGINAL: SqzMyLemon quote: ORIGINAL: castor troy now this is really strange, the enemy SAGs sprinted in during the night but there were no nav bombardments and they are still there during the day... is this going to be a day bombardment? hmmm... did he have his settings wrong? Surface combat instead of bombardment perhaps? His BB moved in during the night and moved out during the day without firing a single shell at Port Moresby... all they achieve today was sinking two PT boats which is a rather bad outcome for the fuel spent travelling from Truk to PM... not to talk about the risk he takes moving through an area where over a dozen subs are patrolling... Cuttlefish isn't posting an AAR on your game and I don't want to risk breaching OpSec with a PM to him. If he truly is trying to bombard PM with these BB TF's and they aren't, he may be using waypoints for his TF's. I learned in my AAR game against Smeulders that waypoints interfere with the bombardment routine. I posted to michaelm and he said the ships high speed run-in is affected and they essentially sail to the base and are gone before the bombardment phase actually occurs, hence no bombardment. It's a bug and I think you should ask Cuttlefish is this is indeed the case, so he can adjust the movement of his TF's. I know how frustrated I was. After learning the reason, I adjusted the movement of my TF's without waypoints and future bombardments worked like a charm. good to know, thx. Something I didn't know either as I usually don't use waypoints for bombardment TFs. Am going to tell CF if I don't forget until I get home from work.

Cuttlefish did more or less nothing to wear down the Dutch airforce so far but he has got KB nearby to cover the invasion... I still would have tried to destroy the Dutch bombers before the invasion goes in as this would have been a rather easy task... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ground combat at Padang (44,85) Japanese Deliberate attack Attacking force 719 troops, 8 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 30 Defending force 0 troops, 0 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 0 Japanese adjusted assault: 15 Allied adjusted defense: 1 Japanese assault odds: 15 to 1 (fort level 1) Japanese forces CAPTURE Padang !!!

Time for all group planes to reach interception is 19 minutes all the sweeps go in at Semarang and wear down all of KB's leaking Cap but NONE of the bombers shows up, they didn't even take off... this strike routine is so seriously borked it could not get any worse... what do you think would have happened in real life? Would the bombers just sit there doing nothing if the enemy got dozens of ships unloading an invasion force 180 miles away? Would they refuse to take off if they were ordered to do so? That's exactly what happens all the time in the game when you order nav strikes... crazy and a very strange way to make it less bloody to be honest... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Afternoon Air attack on Koepang , at 68,116 Weather in hex: Clear sky Raid spotted at 15 NM, estimated altitude 12,000 feet.

The experience of your Clark Field army should be pretty good by now. Pretty cool that you can still get the occasional ship in for supply too.

Pretty cool that you can still get the occasional ship in for supply too. yeah, experience is going up nicely and the bombardments hurt the Japanese more than us anyway. It's not just an occasional ship, we have already brought in something like 60-70,0000 tons of supply and my ships were completely unharmed.

62 Zeroes shot down is overclaiming but four dozen lost will be pretty close I guess which is nothing nice for the Japanese as I am sure there were some decent pilots lost together with the aircraft... two dozen fighters lost on our side makes it a clear 2:1 for us which is absolutely ok for this stage of the war and considering there should have been quite a number of veterans flying those Zeroes means while the IJNAF pilot quality will go down by a margin, ours will still go up... the P-38 didn't take part of the engagements as planned but they were able to down 4 Zeroes for no loss in the end... CF will surely think twice about ordering such a strike again... IIRC we have been leading the aircraft loss list since the beginning of the war and I don't consider giving this lead away again until the end of the war...

The problem I have with reducing the effectiveness of bombs in this mod is that it does not correct the severe deficiency in the effectiveness of low level attacks by fighters, fighter bombers and attack bombers. I find this tactic to be all too useless in the stock game and this really hinders the Allies in late war. The Allied player has to rely on level bombing to close enemy airfields and I question if you will be able to do so. In reality with the increased effectiveness of fighter bombers and low level attack bombers, the Allies were pretty much able to close any airfield they wanted after mid 43. I don't see that happening in this mod but we will have to see. Does this mod reduce the effectiveness of torpedoes as well?

I don't see that happening in this mod but we will have to see. Does this mod reduce the effectiveness of torpedoes as well? yes, both torps and bombs have effectiveness and accuracy changed. I was in contact with JWE and he provided some really good info and I am kind of testing it (for me personally) how it turns out in the game. My oppinion has always been that we see too many hits for not enough effect so in the case of SAP bombs (those are purely used for nav attacks) I would have gone the way to increase effect while reducing the accuracy. My oppinion on stock was that if the bombs had something like nearly twice the effect (if it is linear) but halve the accuracy then it would be realistic as we see too many bomb hits for not enough effect. Babes has less bomb effect than stock and less accuracy, leading to the need of even more bomb hits which in the end often has created a strange feeling (to me), when you see a freighter happily moving on after being hit by 3x500lb bombs, not even being heavily damaged. Now I would tend to say that a freighter being hit by 3 such bombs in real life would be a sure kill in 99% of the time in real life. I am not really sure how it will turn out in air attacks against airfields but it will be of course influencing the game as I need more or less twice the hits on airfields to do the same damage as in stock. Now while I have a clear oppinion on hits on ships (this is easier to determine for me as you can read up on lots of air attacks on ships) I am not sure on A2G attacks and due to the fact that I see JWE and the guys being the experts on that matter compared to me I trust that it will be more realistic for A2G. For nav strikes IMO it should have gone the other way, far more effect for a maximum of 50% hit rate compared to stock. As it is now, you need something like 30-50% more bomb hits to sink a ship compared to stock.

I expect to need at least 8-10 of those bombs to sink an enemy fleet carrier, perhaps 5-6 1000lb bombs... could even be more as I have already seen enemy CA taking four 1000lb bombs (all penetrated) and the ship wasn't reported as heavily damaged... I would really cheer about the two bomb hits on Kaga in stock, I'm still happy to score them in this case but I have to remind me every time again that this is like scoring two hits with stock 250lb bombs which could mean Kaga only suffered perhaps 15-20 sys at best with little floatation or eng damage... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Morning Air attack on Semarang , at 53,102 Weather in hex: Clear sky Raid spotted at 20 NM, estimated altitude 35,000 feet.

more Zeroes claimed to be shot down than I expected but who knows how accurate the claims are, I would have only thought about three or four IJNAF fighters downed... the success of our bombers sure was worth the loss in fighters, the main problem now is that there are nearly none left and those squadrons that still got some aircraft have terrible morale so they became useless...
