BANZAI! BANTAI! BANZAI! the plan now is to reinforce the atoll with some nav guard unit to make another Allied assault necessary... we won't be able to build level 5 forts again as I can't bring engineers so I don't expect another blood bath on the beaches but it will still cause a lot of trouble... the Allied have a level 4 airfield at Roi-Namur now but they don't have the potential level 5 port of Kwajalein which every Allied player usually goes for when taking back the Marshalls...

quote: ORIGINAL: castor troy quote: ORIGINAL: RangerJoe I guess that your pilots are rookies while his are highly trained which is why you lost so many fighters. Very poor landings if they don't unload an entire division at one time. I'm the Japanese, Ranger. My pilots are all but rookies and I only lost three fighters in the engagement. How would he ever have rookies on his carriers? If he had, he would have replaced his best pilots with replacement pilots from the pool as the pilots you get coming with the carriers are better than the ones you can ever train. And even USN replacement pilots are "trained" as far as the game goes, nothing that can justify 200 USN fighters being that trashed by 125 IJ fighters. I know that you are the Japanese player. I also know that he did not sweep but rather had his fighters as escorts which are tied to the bombers. Your defenders may have had radar to help with the positioning of the defenders and the interception utilizing the terrain cover as much as is possible. In this instance, any clouds would be the terrain, your fighters would be able to use them to hide their position while the Allies come in fat, dumb, and happy. I have no idea of the Allied pilot training program, if any, nor the state of his pilot pools.

at the end of the day our fighter pilots claim a hundred bombers and a dozen fighters being destroyed over Madras for the loss of a dozen Frank/Georges, all being shot down by 4E gunners... we lose 8 pilots which was more than expected over our own base... while our fighters weren't able to outright destroy even a dozen B-24J it was flak claiming another 7 plus a dozen being lost to ops which accounts to over two dozen B-24J lost today... today again showed that even the 4x20mm cannon armed George isn't reliably able to down USAAF heavy bombers because most attacks are driven off before they could even hit enemy bombers and if the fighters aren't driven off they usually only damage the bomber... in this game our R&D as well as our production fully aimed at the second version of the George due to the SR2 but this proves to be a wrong decision... usually I go for the third version of the George with SR3 but a gunvalue of 20 as that version also get's two centerlined MGs which makes them much more potent in downing enemy bombers... I'd rate this higher than the SR2 which doesn't feel like it makes much of a difference to the usual SR3 of mid/late war IJ fighters...

I wanted to destroy these units and instead of actually benefiting in the game to cut off units it's more or less just all about the adjusted assault value that results in forced retreats which cause you like halve of your units' squads instantly destroyed... get two retreats in a row and you have literally ghost units... that's what I usually do with the Chinese hordes that have no firepower at all but sheer masses of combat squads resulting in Armies of 10k av that can force one Japanese Army after another to retreat in 44... now that we have cut off this Allied stack we will most likely suffer 10000 squads disabled in the end with something like 4-500 destroyed as it takes another five or six attacks at least to actually force the Allied to surrender in the pocket of Poona... put these units into an Allied base with no retreat path and they instantly surrender... put them into a Japanese base without retreat path and no supplies and they kill your Army in the subsequent attacks before surrendering... a forced retreat with the 5:1 in this combat would have trashed them already...

But bombing will still burn any supply, keeping up the disruption and fatigue as well so more losses will occur in any combat such as bombardments.

Kwajalein was retaken and Wotje's assault repulsed but I'm sure the enemy must have prepped for more targets in the area... relying on just Roi-Namur will bring him nowhere as this level 4 airfield can't dominate the Marshalls and Gilberts with three level 5 airfields there... I also wonder if the enemy plans to fully bypass the Gilberts, not sure if that would do him any good but that's of course depending on the overall Allied strategy in the Pacific...

AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR Jun 15, 44 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Morning Air attack on Calcutta , at 52,37 [image]local://upfiles/13774/5BBDA5A6C876487B966A864E7C489F6F.jpg[/image] Weather in hex: Heavy cloud Raid detected at 80 NM, estimated altitude 35,000 feet. Estimated time to target is 25 minutes Japanese aircraft N1K2-J George x 114 Ki-84r Frank x 88 Allied aircraft B-29-1 Superfort x 74 Japanese aircraft losses N1K2-J George: 2 destroyed Ki-84r Frank: 3 destroyed Allied aircraft losses B-29-1 Superfort: 18 destroyed, 54 damaged Heavy Industry hits 1 Calcutta has been one of few bases in India that has always been defended by fighters but the USAAF wants to destroy all India's industry that is held by the Japanese. That doesn't really concern me, even if the Allied would succeed doing so but Calcutta is defended as I don't want to have the airfields and port destroyed even though keeping up the damaged would be hard if not impossible for the Allied as they have to base their B-29 on Ceylon. I doubt we will see such a strike again as it pretty much looks like an early real life attempt of high flying B-29 that can't hit the broadside of a barn from that height with the exception that we have 200 competitive fighters over the city to defend it against the beasts. The bomber formations were picked up by radar at max range and it was an insanely long engagement against the bomber formation. To my suprise the Allied bombers came in as one full wave, no follow up waves at all. Must have been the first fully coordinated strike over such a distance with such a number of bombers I've seen so far. I didn't expect my fighters to do that well but in the end we claim dozens of B-29 as many damaged ones crashed on the way home. Some three dozen were destroyed directly over Calcutta. Note that we have four AA units at the base, none could reach the bombers at 30k ft as that's above the crappy 75mm AA gun's ceiling. But then, bombers can't hit the target from that height either.

At the end of the day we claim four dozen B-29 shot down, a 65% loss rate. That's nearly a three months' replacement of the B-29 even though all his squadrons came fully equipped. Enemy pool got to be empty now. 19 fighters lost but only 7 pilots so that engagement was a full success. I really fear the B-29 due to their extreme range and bomb load so I cheer about every bomber lost and losing that many is nothing to shrug off easily. On the other side, Mundy must have hundreds and hundreds of B-17/B-24 that haven't seen real action. [image]local://upfiles/13774/9F33E75F3071400B8C7876483DF72F06.jpg[/image]

I could court martial myself for surrounding the enemy Army at Poona as it just turned the Allied units into super troops... if I had just let them take the base, surround them and attack we would have seen all surrender on day one... that way we will take ten thousand disabled squads/guns/vehicles until the enemy will surrender while being fully cut off in an enemy base... even just forcing them to retreat would have been better with my three tank divs and all tank rgts in pursuit we would have trashed them in two or three attacks leaving the units as ghosts if we wouldn't totally destroy them... oh well, trying to find a positive, I have no doubt we will kill them in the end so these units will be destroyed without any hope to ever rebuild them... another disaster for the Allied as they must be totally outnumbered by IJ forces on the ground already... just think about the supply it takes to get all that IJA stuff out of disabled state again, must be a couple of ten thousand supply points...

If the enemy knows that the minefield is there, they will avoid it. Any mines laid during any day, no matter by how many ships, is considered one minefield. To do something that might work, lay another small minefield then see what happens.

To do something that might work, lay another small minefield then see what happens. I know that but Singapore has the biggest minefield in the Empire and subs pass through it at will. On the contrary Hakodate which has only some 150 mines and there were several subs hitting a mine passing through. Not that the mine hits would have really hurt them but still. There was like halve a dozen subs or more in Singapore's hex just last turn. Considering the number of available mines in the game it would be like a mine field having thousands of mines if you transform it into real life numbers. Mines were crazy in WITP and the pendulum completely swung the other side in AE. Minefields could effectively block areas in real life.

RangerJoe -> RE: AAR 1944 (1/11/2021 8:35:14 PM)
Yes but it also depends upon narrow straights or not as well as how the game depicts them as protecting a port. Between Fusan and Japan was also mined and US subs until they developed special sonar would not even attempt passage through the straits there.

Mundy had parked a good number of CVEs West of Roi Namur for an eternity, would I have committed super KB into the area it would have been a massacre... guess the CVEs were covering the unloading at Roi Namur against LBA strikes, when the CVEs moved East it was a day or two later when we first picked up major Allied carrier movement going towards the Marshalls again... not spotted any amphib convoys but I guess we will know better within the next couple of days... funnily enough the search settings are amusing me again... there's always the question about the nav search / rest percentage, range, archs or no archs etc... the first day I had three units on search when they picked up the Allied carriers and we lost a dozen search aircraft... then, as usual I stand most down and only had a 8 plane Jake unit on 10% search at 10 hexes without any archs set... we spot four different carrier task forces and lose 4 Jakes of that unit, 2 in the morning, 2 in the afternoon... having set the unit with 8 operational Jakes to 10% nav search... go figure...

Mountain Gun Regiment 14th Ind.Art.Mortar Battalion 3rd Medium Mortar Battalion only posting this day as the 4th Tank Div arrived in Japan today... was looking forward to having another tank div joining the three in combat already but looking at it's TOE I'm rather disappointed as it looks completely different than 1st, 2nd and 3rd Tank Div... [:(] it's more like a tank brigade with more or less no heavy artillery or infantry... [image]local://upfiles/13774/27B880C273A9411997E97413D55320BC.jpg[/image]
