mattep74 -> Lets crush Japan and cause its Downfall and watch B-52s come for a visit(modded version) (7/21/2013 7:50:23 PM)
Downfall, modified by me. I included B-52(specs according to wikipedia) and mainly put them in the 8th airforce instead of B-17, a jetfighter called XP-1, sent P-80 shooting star to some units. Units that were to become reinforcements are in from the start. More infantry units at Singapore. I downgraded the japanase E-boats so that they didn’t have as many guns or deep charges as before to give my subs a fighting chance. I might have made errors when modding, but if so then its shown during the game. Oh, and yes i am lazy, fighters default at 10 000 feet when i press escort or sweep and i am just to lazy to change the altitude(especially since i get 50-75% of the enemy shot down when facing big raids) ------------Scenario start---------------------------------------------- Late in August of 1945 it was clear that Japan was not to surrender and the allied hq made a plan to force them to surrender. The allied had access to new weapons that had become available. A new bomber had been manufactured in great numbers to supplement the B-29 and was called B-52. It could be based in Hawaii and bomb Tokyo. Its highest altitude were over 10,000 feet over were the Japanese AA range. Another weapon was the first US jetfighter. It was called the XP-1 and if based on Okinawa it could reach and fight in the skies over Tokyo. The allied plan was the following: Philippines units 5th US amphibious corps was to invade Formossa and secure the island and its airfield in September 9th US corps was to finish off the last Japanese strongholds on the Philipines 1st US corps would act as reserve for 5th amphibious corps and would be sent to Formossa if needed. Otherwise 1 or more of their division would secure the islands between Formossa and Okinawa XXIV US corps was to take Hong Kong if recon showed that the city could be taken by one corps alone. Otherwise they would secure the area between Saawtow and Foochow. British units Units from Singapore would take Palembang and then secure Bangkok and Saigon. The border between UK and US area of operation would be Vietnam. Hawaii units: 3rd US amphibious corps to await the capture of Formossa and the movements of XXIV corps. After above goals are met then 3rd corps would assist in the capture of Hangshow and Shanghai. Japanese islands not to be invaded until all above areas captured. Invasionarea is north of Kagoshima with the goal of taking Kagoshima and/or Nagasaki and their ports. Seapower: Submarines were to take up positions around the possible shippingroutes and sink as many ships as possible Carrier task forces from Guam and Peleleiu were to sail to a point between Japan and Iwo Jima and draw in as many kamikazes as possible so that the main invasion will meet as few as possible Airpower: B-52s and B-29s to area bomb at daytime from 50 000 feet and create as much fires as possible At night they will bomb from 5 000 feet and aim at factories Medium bombers to attack shipping if possible otherwise area of intrest. Fighters to either provide escort for bombers or sweep areas were Japanese have lots of fighters. Torpedobombers and divebombers to attack Japanese shipping if possible.

quote: I included B-52(specs according to wikipedia) and mainly put them in the 8th airforce instead of B-17, Ingenious, but it would have been more realistic to use the B-36 Peacemaker (mix of piston and jet engines) or the B-47 Stratojet. Both of these flew in the '40s, while the B-52 did not fly until 1952.

If i had known they existed then i would have put them in, but since my bomber knowledge makes a jump from B29 to B52 i used a B52. If i make yet another mod i would perhaps use them

Turn 2: Strike leader to base: Struck Tokyo harbor. Outcome better than expected. Allied HQ: We are rebasing the B-52 from Pearl to closer to the targets since they seem to require a great deal of maintenance the longer they are in the air. Japanese citizen in Tokyo to neutral ambassador: I know the Americans like hot dogs, but do they need to set the entire city of Tokyo on fire to have a bbq Neutral ambassador: I don’t know, I just know that every neutral embassy is relocating to the imperial palace since the Americans don’t bomb near the place. The Russian embassy seem to think that Sapporo is a safer place.

"Manpower hits 15878 Fires 26002600" Holy excessive use of force, Batman! I don't normally laugh out loud, but that one did it. What's the industry of Tokyo looking like about now? Cheers, CC

When i look at how the industry is doing i check attack cities: Tokyo still have 555 HI undamaged(2186 damaged) 72 manpower avalible(20+ damaged). Naval and Merchant shipyards both at 7 and repair at 2. At Osaka the HI is down to 255. And when its time for a new turn there is no anchor in Tokyo, as if to say "no shipping here, nothing going on here" and lots of TFs heading away. I read the wiki on US raids on Japan yesterday and think the japanese AA is stronger and better than it was IRL.

You really didn't need to make the Allies any stronger. Also, assuming this is against the AI it will be no challenge whatsoever.

moore4807 -> RE: Lets crush Japan and cause its Downfall and watch B-52s come for a visit(modded version) (7/23/2013 6:17:49 PM)
The bombload for the B-52's seemed high... I'm not claiming to be any kind of authority on B-52's - your mod just seemed too much even compared to B-29's From Wikipedia; the original B52-A was designed to carry up to 10K in ordinance OR one (1) 9000K warhead with nuclear options - it wasn't until the Big Bellied BUFF that they got into the upper 20K payloads...which was in Vietnam.

mattep74 -> RE: Lets crush Japan and cause its Downfall and watch B-52s come for a visit(modded version) (7/23/2013 6:23:16 PM)
I will reply to the B-52 bombload in the next message. Oh, and I am from Sweden so the spelling might not be as good as you hope. Transcript of a discussion between Head of Japanese naval and merchant force, head of Japanese AA and head of fighter defense: Had of naval force: Can you do something. If you can’t stop the American air armada then we will not have any ships remaining in a few months Head of Japanese AA: Our guys are samurai. Unfortunally the bombers often come to high for the weapons Head of fighter defense: My orders are to conserve as much airplanes as possible for the final invasion. We have many hidden airfields that I would like to remain hidden until the final invasion. If the AA say they can’t reach the altitude of the bombers I think they are to afraid to tell the truth, that in reality the AA is worthless Head of AA: You bastard. I challenge you to a duel Japanese Supreme commander that only have the emperor above him: ENOUGH! We are the master race, we will not go down fighting among ourselves. We will prevail in the end. If we give the Americans and British a taste of how much it would take to invade Japan then we win because they cant stand to many losses. Head of naval forces: Strange, I think I heard this tune before Iwo Jima and Okinawa were invaded. US aircrew bar: Pilot 1: I hated flying at 15,000 in a B-17 over Europe and I haven’t liked flying over Tokyo at the same level Pilot 2: I know, these B-52 are excellent. And we can fly at 50,000 feet, the Japanese don’t have a AA or fighter that can reach us. Pilot 1: Smile Yes, since they changed the altitude during daylight raids against stationary targets to 50,000 feet I feel like I am on a milk run. Just lift off, fly to the target, aim for the harbor and let the cargo drop and hope it hits something valuable and then fly home.

quote: ORIGINAL: moore4807 The bombload for the B-52's seemed high... I'm not claiming to be any kind of authority on B-52's - your mod just seemed too much even compared to B-29's From Wikipedia; the original B52-A was designed to carry up to 10K in ordinance OR one (1) 9000K warhead with nuclear options - it wasn't until the Big Bellied BUFF that they got into the upper 20K payloads...which was in Vietnam. B-29 have a bombload of 20,000 in the game and that is not changed B-52 i gave a bombload of 30,000. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B-52 because in armament it said: Armament Bombs: Approximately 70,000 lb (31,500 kg) mixed ordnance; bombs, mines, missiles, in various configurations I went straight for the configuration and never looked at how much it had in history. I gave the plane the bombload of 2 x 4000 lb GP 6 x 2000 lp GP and 10 x 1000 lp GP bombs. The stats for the planes dont say what type of units for bombload. Is it lp also? Fun part is: Total of B-52s built in history 744, i think i have over a thousand in the game:) One time only. When this AAR is finished(aka, when Japan surrenders) i will try the original Downfall that is unmodded and see how the B-29s do alone now that i have a hang of it(first time i played the B-29 wings were down to 10 each)

From: Cpt Garret, TF 75 to Pacific fleet HQ: Whoever decided going near a japanese base with CVE and DDs was a smart idea was wrong. Sending a CVE and DD back for repairs. Rest are also damaged but operational. Must stay away from japanese bases at night since the japanese navy is still deadly at night. From Tokyo Rose to US Marines: Before we start the music the imperial japanese hq wishes to inform you that Japan has won a major victory near Saigon with the sinking of two carriers, a battleship and lots of other ships. And now music from Louie Armstrong Pacific fleet hq on hearing Tokyo Rose: Strange, I didn’t know we had battleships in that area. Onboard CVE Petrof Bay that was the ship most damaged in the battle: Horray, we are upgraded to a CV from a CVE according to Japan. Japanese naval hq in Saigon to Tokyo: Don’t celebrate to much, because the yanks had other ships in the area and took revenge.

mattep74 -> Now without full battle report (7/24/2013 9:24:17 AM)
I figured that the battle report began to be to long to be included in every update and i dont think many people read them so i have changed the update to just report important events during last turn. Takao has fallen and the japanese were forced to retreat. 1 division of the corps will remain behind to guard the base untill reinforcements from 1st corps arrive and will be tasked of guarding the rear areas of Formossa until the last japanese force on the island is defeated. Bombing of Toyama harbor gave unexpected outcome. Japanese had hidden their last carriers there and they were set on fire. From: Brittish fleet HQ Peleleiu To: London Subject: Brittish task force with 2 battleships, 3 cruisers and 4 destroyer intercepted japanese convoy with 2 E, 2 AKL, 1 CMC and 1 APd and sunk them all. That was the good news. The bad news is that japanese airplanes found them and attacked. 4 kamis hit BB Howe and a torp sunk it.(Were to close to the Chinese coast north of Okinawa and suffered) (edited this because when i wrote the first time i changed the sentance so much that the name was forgotten) From: Task force Indianapolis To: Pacific fleet HQ Subject: Task force Indianapolis(2 heavy, 2 light cruisers and 7 destroyers) met japanese convoy consisting of 2 E and 3 AKL. All enemy ships sunk From: Merchant marine hq To Imperial palace: Subject: Today allied bombers sunk many ships in harbor with high altitude bombing and several ships at sea both by carrier planes, submarines and surface task forces. Transcript from japanese secret service from a conversation between Swiss and Swedish ambassador Swiss: So how long do you think that the japanese will manage to hold on? Swede: Don’t know, did you see the latest transcript about how many ships they acknowledged to be sunk? If the allies continue to pound the harbors I don’t think there is any ships floating in november Swiss: I agree, rumours are spreading that the latest attacks took out their last carriers. Swede: Who said that? Swiss: The Spanish ambassador right before he took the entiere staff and went to try to get transport to Vladivostok. He got it from the naval HQ. Swede: This is bad, how many embassies remain in Japan now? We have been ordered from Stockholm to remain so that Japan can communicate with the outside world. Have you also been offered a house at the feets of Mount Fuji? Swiss: Yes, and we got a transmittion from the allies that they will not bomb in the vicinity. I think part from your and mine embassies that the German diplomatic staff remains because they cant go home, the Spanish ambassador who likes adventure and Mexico. My medium bombers are tasked with naval attacks - ground attack but they dont go after naval targets but instead attacks japanese groundbases

[&:] Fleet Admiral Nimitz How do i know if its secondary explosions? Combat report say how many bombs hit and if the target was set on fire or sunk Two ways: - during the combat replay after each bomb hit it will say something like "deck penetration" followed by "severe damage" and sometimes "Ammo Storage Explosion" or "Fuel Storage Explosion". I once even saw a "Magazine Explosion" on a CV hit. - if you don't watch the combat replay, the text at the bottom of the Combat Report where it lists all the air groups attacks will have the messages about explosions hidden in there

I think the one that i just did took 30 minutes. Fun to watch bombs effect on small ships. Lots of internal explosions on DDs hit by 1000 lb. I had a E obliteraded by a 250 lb bomb. I hit a tanker with 4000 lb bomb and saw something i didnt seen before, oil cargo burning, but "only" heavy damage to the ship And combat reports show more than hits on subs.

mattep74 -> RE: Now without full battle report (7/24/2013 9:32:10 PM)
Next turn nothing worthwile mentioning happened really. Torpedoplanes sunk a few merchants and ASW worked well for the allies and not so well for the japanese

mattep74 -> Operation Sledgehammer North (7/25/2013 7:11:25 PM)
Imagine a wiki site about the attacks Operation Sledgehammer North was an operation conducted by the American bomber command against japan during the final face of the Pacific war in late September of 1945. The objective was to shut down as many airports as possible and to destroy as many planes on the ground as possible. The main bomber for this operation was the B-52. The targets were the airports near Tokyo and Osaka, but also other airports were targeted. B-29 played a smaller role as their night attacks seems to have less effect than the high altitude daylight raids. Casualities Japan: 2900+ destroyed on the fields. Casualities allies: Less than 20 B-29. Turn was 23-24 September. ---------------------------- In other news, Japanese ship losses are over 600 ships sunk at that date. I wanted to send a small TF from Pearl Harbor north to the Kurils and then have it bombard The northen coast of Japan and run away. AO included, after sending them away i saw that i forgott to load the AO and i had to send it back And Seattle and San Fransisco is bombed by japanese subs that launched airplanes even though i have ASW in place

BBfanboy -> RE: Operation Sledgehammer North (7/25/2013 8:00:59 PM)
I was wondering when you were going to do AF attacks to try eliminate the CAP and naval bombers. Once the AFs are shut down, the navy can send more DDs in to deal with those pesky "E"s.

Once the AFs are shut down, the navy can send more DDs in to deal with those pesky "E"s. I usually send in every CV i have between Iwo and Japanese islands and let them shoot down the enemy bombers for a few turns. this was the first time i went after the airports with every heavy bomber

mattep74 -> And yet another turn were the japanese bites the dust (7/26/2013 10:57:42 AM)
CV taskforce in the Sea of Japan was jubilant today. They manage to coordinate perfect coordinated strikes and sunk many ships. A captain was overheard saying that the bombing campaign had gone well since they were well inside bomberrange and not many bombers had shown up for a while. Headquater for the allied Submarine fleet. Admiral Lockwood: Damnation, three more boats lost the last three days. Now the flyboas get all the glory. DAM YOU E-BOATS, DAM YOU ALL TO HELL! Second in command: Sir, what are we to do? Tell them all to go back to port? Lockwood: No, send them ALL out, the japs are bound to run out of ASW-tools soon. You heard me, send them all out on patrol around the Japanese islands. Japanese HQ: General in charge of the airforce to Supreme commander: I regrett to inform you that the latest bombing offensive all but destroyed the airports from were our fighters operate. I feel I have let my nation down Supreme commander to airforcegeneral: We are certain you are doing your best. Imperial palace: Emperor chief of staff meeting with the emperor: Sir, these are the latest figures. Emperor looks down: This cant be true, my generals have said we are taking a heavy toll on their offensive and our losses are minor. Chief of staff: Sir, look outside. Your cities are all like Tokyo. Our navy is holding its own against the submarines, but how long before torpedoe planes and dive bombers take out those also. We have almost no merchant marine left. Emperor: I cant give the order to surrender, no allied troops have yet to land on our islands. The people will feel betrayed Chief of Staff: Sir, if this continue you will not have any people to rule over.

29 – 30 September: Message from Formossa force: Kagi captured. Troops worn down and resting until reinforcements arrive from 1st corps to take care of the rest of the island. 11th para holding a bridgehead at Hengchun. Can perhaps hold out unt 25th inf division arrive. Better supplied than in Arnhem atleast according to the commander. Bomber command worn out and resting for the next phase.

Time for all group planes to reach interception is 49 minutes -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I generally consider airstrike lucky, if it manages to score ANY hits during attack over 20k, yet if I am reading this correctly - your B-52 attack from 50k, and score hits as if they were attacking from 5k. Could it be bug? Have you tried to set them somewhere lower? I would like to ask about their pilot statistics, and if you changed accuracy of bombs? That could also indicate, that larger bombs have some form of "splash effect"

BBfanboy -> RE: And yet another turn were the japanese bites the dust (7/27/2013 2:39:07 PM)
Since the B-52 device was created for this scenario, I imagine it was given an accuracy bonus to account for its radar assisted bombsight. The number of bombs carried by each B-52 is also a factor. I don't think the game engine has a way of calculating near misses and assigning damage according to how near they were + size of the bomb effect.

mattep74 -> RE: And yet another turn were the japanese bites the dust (7/27/2013 7:21:19 PM)
I didnt know that you could give such bonuses. I think its because i have so many bombs in the aircraft and the fact that they attack ships that are sitting still in the harbor. It can also be that since the japanes fighters dont reach that altitude and the highest AA can reach is 37,000 that the game thinks that the aircrafts bombercrew have time to aim. When i send in bombers at 15,000 and they encounter flak and/or fighters the bombs seem to fall all over the place. I have fighters doing portattacks at 5 - 10k, and even if they dont encounter opposition they dont seem to hit anything.. I have had B-29s at 7000 over airfields doing damage to the airfield but not to many planes on the ground(1-2 for every raid perhaps) My conclusion is: No opposition=The game give the bombers time to aim

mattep74 -> RE: Lets crush Japan and cause its Downfall and watch B-52s come for a visit(modded version) (7/28/2013 10:14:42 AM)
1st – 10th October XXIV corps attacks Hong Kong after recon shows opposition light. Heavy bombers like B-52s based in Philipines and on Iwo Jima bombard the defenses for a few days. Resistance is fierce and the town is captured after a week. Unfortunally the IJA retreats and forces XXIV corps to start moving inland. Damage to Hong Kong harbor is 21, airfield is all but closed. Will require lots of repairs before its operational, just like Takao. Last of the japanese troops on the Philipines are defeated. TD units in need of more troops and weapons. On Formossa Takao and Kagi are taken. Attacks going on in Taichu, unfortunally troops are in need of rest. Tankers moving unmolested with or without escort between DEI and Manilla/Singapore. Tankers now en route to Pearl Harbor. Message from Nimitz to all task force leaders: Stop loosing all these CVEs during invasions. Yes, its better they are hit by kamikazes than transports, but they cost money. Manilla harbor master: Oh, not another battleship that have to go into drydock. Its full already. Try to get to Singapore, they still have space. Operation Northen surprise is in motion. Two BBs and a few CLs have left Pearl and gone north to Alaska and have now set course for Kushiro to bombard and make the japanese uneasy.
