[:@] ALL bombers are set to nav attack with torps and there is an air HQ with 200 available torps at Kavieng, yet the bombers attack from 10000ft dropping bombs... totally idiotic, if I want to attack with bombs I wouldn't set them to 10000ft... of course it's impossible to hit a destroyer but that's something we are used to anyways... we got Vals at Lae now, they should do the trick...

RADM.Yamaguchi -> RE: IJ commander resurrected - Mundy (A) vs. Castor Troy (IJ) - restricted AAR (10/8/2019 2:10:14 AM)
I'm still learning all i can. I almost never include BBs, CAs, CLs or DDs in my invasion task forces. Am i doing something wrong. I usually just have PBs. Maybe the 18knot CLs sometimes. I just thought merchants like PBs and xAKs and xAKLs were expendable but i would need all my naval assets later.

PaxMondo -> RE: IJ commander resurrected - Mundy (A) vs. Castor Troy (IJ) - restricted AAR (10/8/2019 2:58:14 AM)
BB's can soak up CD hits with little damage. Saves your AK's. DD's/DMS can remove mines. E's can take care of subs. DD's can take care of PT's

Bif1961 -> RE: IJ commander resurrected - Mundy (A) vs. Castor Troy (IJ) - restricted AAR (10/8/2019 3:05:52 PM)
The invasion force faced 175 coastal artillery rounds with 18 scoring hits which is roughly 10% and most of the fire came from 180mm and 150mm guns. Ambon always offers good CD gunnery and your damage is well within norms. What did you expect them to throw wooden shoes at you? For RADM Yamaguchi, you have gotten away with little to no escort for your invasion forces because you have yet to face 200 coastal guns or more. Wait.

It's not a real life comparison, I expect the game how the game plays as always. If I wouldn't have put CA/CL/DD into that amphib convoy I would have lost a single xAK at best, as usual and as during my first wave. Now I thought it would be good NOT to lose that single xAK so I've put a real cruiser squadron plus escorts into the TF and now the CD goes out of whack. Nothing new in the game, but it still pissed me off.

I admire Mundy's tenacity in defending forward, but this aar is sort of a poster child of how much the cost of doing that can be. Brings back the old Sir Robin arguments . . . good times.

The Tenno expects nothing short then a major victory now.

Brings back the old Sir Robin arguments . . . good times. yup! Was always doing some kind of Sir Robin as the Allied. Not all the way back to the West Coast but instead of trying to achieve something at Rabaul (seriously, how should this really work?) I was going back to Noumea and I remember sinking KB there with my LBA, surface assets and combined Allied CVs in mid 42. Mundy is (was) trying to achieve way too much way too early IMO. Makes for an interesting game though.

Not sure why you think those 2 CL's are bomb proof. I suspect they have very high SYS damage, the fires will cause float/engine damage, they likely have most of their weapons damaged, plus every hit you get improves the exp of your bomber pilots. Me? I think they are exp machines for you... [;)]

quote: ORIGINAL: PaxMondo Not sure why you think those 2 CL's are bomb proof. I suspect they have very high SYS damage, the fires will cause float/engine damage, they likely have most of their weapons damaged, plus every hit you get improves the exp of your bomber pilots. Me? I think they are exp machines for you... [;)] They are bombprove as none of the 250kg bombs penetrates the deck nor belt armor, hence they are still afloat after being hit by way more than 50 bombs. I call that bombprove for sure and instead of attacking other targets those CL get targetted all the time. There isn't more skill improvement than from bombing the port without ships so that doesn't do me any good either and all those bomber crews are above 70 grd skill anyways by now.

quote: ORIGINAL: castor troy quote: ORIGINAL: PaxMondo Not sure why you think those 2 CL's are bomb proof. I suspect they have very high SYS damage, the fires will cause float/engine damage, they likely have most of their weapons damaged, plus every hit you get improves the exp of your bomber pilots. Me? I think they are exp machines for you... [;)] They are bombprove as none of the 250kg bombs penetrates the deck nor belt armor, hence they are still afloat after being hit by way more than 50 bombs. I call that bombprove for sure and instead of attacking other targets those CL get targetted all the time. There isn't more skill improvement than from bombing the port without ships so that doesn't do me any good either and all those bomber crews are above 70 grd skill anyways by now. well, they are bigger, bomber pilots would always target the bigger target. And maybe this is demonstrating why most (all the other major navies) had moved on from 500lb ordnance to 1000lb by '41. The IJ was supposed to have, but all of their programs were late (and they lied to themselves about it). Jill was supposed to have been in production, the Kate factories had already been idled. Judy and Sam were supposed to be early/mid '42 � and we know what actually happened there. So yeah, I tend to beach my Vals and use Kates with 800kg bombs at low altitudes. I replace the high value pilots with ground only and go in at 6000 or less.

We have an old Dutch CL here that was hit by something like a hundred 250kg bombs which would be most likely enough to sink any BB (or leave it as a totally destroyed and burned down hull) on the planet at that time and yet that CL just keeps staying afloat. That aside I doubt that Java and Sumatra could be nowhere penetrated by a 250kg SAP bomb.

We have a level 4 airfield, 48 Vals and 45 Zeroes ordered to attack a naval target at a base 180 miles away. Orders are given and when the bombers take off in the morning (actually the Zeroes would launch first due to their higher range) the Zeroes stay at the airfield while the pilots drink Sake. This didn't happen, it's just utter BS. Again, I'm not talking about some xy coordination of 1000 bombers/fighters going from several airfields to bomb England or Germany during the night, I'm talking about this nilly willy die roll BS that makes it look like as if there would be some routine with rational settings behind it.

Yaab -> RE: IJ commander resurrected - Mundy (A) vs. Castor Troy (IJ) - restricted AAR (10/12/2019 3:24:23 PM)
Yep, lack of Zero escorts is strange. You have a good airfield, aircraft with comparable cruise speeds, likely high exp in both groups, same altitude. My guess is: -Kates/Zeroes are subordinated to different air HQs/theatre command HQs -leaders in either group or both have low AIR skill (20-30 range)

821Bobo -> RE: IJ commander resurrected - Mundy (A) vs. Castor Troy (IJ) - restricted AAR (10/12/2019 3:52:35 PM)
Or no Air HQ at Lae/outside HQ range.
