Considering the altitude of his CAP, maybe try 2000 feet next. Especially at Gifu which is not heavily built up but with lots of factories. Not being build up really lessens the chances of balloons.

Hmmm - at Truk the Japanese got -disruption and -supply, and their raw AV was roughly 1/3 of yours. With the forts dropped one level and their supply/disruption issues worse than ever, I think a shock attack by all your units would carry the day. Your guys can recover their disablements after the Naval Fortress is destroyed and you own the base. Your call of course - higher disruption on your units at the end of that turn might mean higher numbers of destroyed squads in a shock attack too.

quote: ORIGINAL: BBfanboy Hmmm - at Truk the Japanese got -disruption and -supply, and their raw AV was roughly 1/3 of yours.

Your guys can recover their disablements after the Naval Fortress is destroyed and you own the base. Your call of course - higher disruption on your units at the end of that turn might mean higher numbers of destroyed squads in a shock attack too. We only attacked with 2 divisions and 1 tank Bn, so the raw AV shown for our side was misleading (it always shows all AV, IIRC). Next turn is away and we are attacking with 1 division and 1 Eng Rgt. A shock attack would do it, but I would only do that with rested units. I'm not pressed for one or two days here anyway, especially if it means the units don't need a bunch of extra days to recover. We'll see how things look next turn.

Congrats on taking Truk! [:)][&o][sm=happy0065.gif] [:D] Surprised the Naval Fortress did not show as a destroyed unit since there were 93 enemy guns destroyed. I guess the gun crews grabbed their bore-cleaning poles and set out to become foot soldiers with lances (if they can sharpen them). [:D] Doesn't that message about "unable to supply air cover" refer to your carriers not supporting the Liberators? Tough assault at Bangkok - hopefully the enemy will suffer shortages now that you are on the rail line at PKK. As for the AA units going to Q, I think Q is already working on laser AA for his next Aston-Martin mod. M told me when I got her drunk one night. [;)]

Sweet, you got some damage on that fully repaired Shinden factory.[:)] You might want to look around for a potential daytime target. Even if it is a much smaller base, you can still core good destruction with targeted bombing and cause Japan to stretch their fighters even more.

They are probably research factories, if they are damaged they won't research so chances are that they would get repaired yet that will cost supplies. This also delays the production of those late war airframes.

BBfanboy -> RE: 1944 October 24 (7/5/2021 2:40:23 PM)
The game also adds 1 to the reported count of factories, so the total count for each industrial factory type should be reduced by one. The 31 count factories are in fact 30 count - as expected with optimization.
