quote: ORIGINAL: soulsilver quote: ORIGINAL: Mike Solli quote: ORIGINAL: John 3rd To my knowledge, the CS need to have their organic air group on them when they convert. The conversion of the ships ALSO converts the air groups to their new composition. Very true. I made the mistake of taking the air groups off in my (hopefully soon to be reborn) PBEM game. Fortunately ([8\|]), I lost some carriers and was able to find new homes for the orphaned air units. yeah I'll keep that in mind for future conversions. I still have 2 CS which can convert to CVL, but I think I'll keep them around to resize float plane units. You only need one to resize FP units. Not sure about your game, but in the stock game, Nisshin is pretty slow.

John 3rd -> RE: RA Soulsilver (J)vs Deaniks (A) (10/16/2020 2:48:08 AM)
Nisshin enters the game as a Chitose-Class CVL in BTS. Never understood why they thought those diesels would be just as effective engines.

RangerJoe -> RE: RA Soulsilver (J)vs Deaniks (A) (10/16/2020 2:51:28 AM)
Diesels can be more efficient and less troublesome.

Aug 22nd Notable reinforcements: a Yugumo class DD, and CV Taikaku (shokaku kai class) The Akizuki class DDs have finished their radar upgrades and will escort the Taikaku until, she can group up with her sister ship the Kaimon in Carrier Division 5. I've begun accelerating the last 2 Shokaku Kai carriers I get rather than the carriers closest to finishing. This should allow me to have all my carriers finished by the end of 43. With the arrival of the Taikaku I now have 10 fleet carriers, 5 CVL, and 2 CVE, with 1 CVL and 2 CVE undergoing their conversion. The Allies currently have 2 enterprise class Carriers and the Wasp, the Formidable for about a week until it withdrawals, the CVLs Hermes and Charlotte, 3 Long Island CVE, and 2-3 Bogue class CVE. Not alot happened today, air strikes in china were relatively ineffective due to bad weather, and air strikes in India did not fly. The troops at Bataan have had their disruption go down a fair amount so I'll likely order them to attack on the following turn. The main event today was a couple Chinese corps shock attacking across a river into a IJA division I had forgotten to change from move mode to combat mode. The results would've been better if they were in combat mode. Ground combat at 85,42 (near Sian) Allied Shock attack Attacking force 30400 troops, 95 guns, 0 vehicles, Assault Value = 1010 Defending force 14894 troops, 101 guns, 1 vehicles, Assault Value = 478 Allied adjusted assault: 629 Japanese adjusted defense: 814 Allied assault odds: 1 to 2 Combat modifiers Defender: terrain(+), op mode(-), fatigue(-) Attacker: shock(+) Japanese ground losses: 1125 casualties reported Squads: 5 destroyed, 104 disabled Non Combat: 0 destroyed, 7 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 2 disabled Guns lost 14 (1 destroyed, 13 disabled) Allied ground losses: 1790 casualties reported Squads: 7 destroyed, 159 disabled Non Combat: 1 destroyed, 13 disabled Engineers: 0 destroyed, 8 disabled Assaulting units: 5th New Chinese Corps 27th Chinese Corps 9th Chinese Corps 2nd Chinese Cavalry Corps Defending units: 69th Division 41st/C Division

August 27th Battle of Bering Sea Today was a butt clencher, Dean decided to sortie most of his available carriers sans the enterprise to attack my carrier TF near Kodiak. Dean got off the first strike, and I expected to at least lose a carrier or two. Thankfully the CAP did its job and was able to shoot down a good deal of the attackers prior to the attack. Morning Air attack on TF, near Cordova at 186,40 Weather in hex: Heavy rain Raid detected at 79 NM, estimated altitude 12,000 feet. Estimated time to target is 31 minutes Japanese aircraft A6M2 Zero x 29 A6M5 Zero x 62 Allied aircraft F4F-3A Wildcat x 6 F4F-4 Wildcat x 57 SBD-3 Dauntless x 71 TBF-1 Avenger x 8 Japanese aircraft losses A6M2 Zero: 1 destroyed Allied aircraft losses F4F-3A Wildcat: 1 destroyed F4F-4 Wildcat: 9 destroyed SBD-3 Dauntless: 16 destroyed, 12 damaged TBF-1 Avenger: 3 damaged TBF-1 Avenger: 1 destroyed by flak Japanese Ships CV Hiryu BB Haruna CV Zuikaku CA Atago CVL Nisshin CVL Shoho BB Kongo BB Hiei CV Kaimon I have No idea how dean scored 0 hits here. Maybe it was pilot quality? or disruption from how badly the cap mauled his strike beforehand? idk. [image]local://upfiles/70868/31DEB13DC2424133996C15ACA0CFBCF1.jpg[/image]

soulsilver -> RE: RA Soulsilver (J)vs Deaniks (A) (10/18/2020 11:00:03 PM)
Japanese Counterstrike A Japanese Strike was launched simultaneously to the American Strike but found their targets second. CAP ended up shooting down around 15 bombers but the majority of the strike got through. The first dive bombers to attack scored hits on the CVE Kittyhawk, which was followed by hits on the wasp. By the end of it both Allied fleet carriers and all of the CVEs had been hit and were burning. I don't think the fleet carriers are dead yet, so I have follow up strikes planned for tomorrow. Yorktown looks like she's a goner for sure based on the smoke obscuring her, but by the after noon the fires on wasp are no longer heavy. Morning Air attack on TF, near Yakutat at 186,41 Weather in hex: Heavy cloud Raid detected at 80 NM, estimated altitude 19,000 feet. Estimated time to target is 30 minutes Japanese aircraft A6M2 Zero x 27 A6M5 Zero x 58 B5N2 Kate x 109 D3A1 Val x 79 Allied aircraft F4F-3A Wildcat x 4 F4F-4 Wildcat x 75 Japanese aircraft losses A6M2 Zero: 2 destroyed A6M5 Zero: 5 destroyed B5N2 Kate: 13 destroyed, 11 damaged B5N2 Kate: 2 destroyed by flak D3A1 Val: 6 destroyed, 10 damaged Allied aircraft losses F4F-4 Wildcat: 11 destroyed Allied Ships CVE Kittyhawk, Bomb hits 2, Torpedo hits 2, heavy fires, heavy damage CVE Tangier, Torpedo hits 3, and is sunk CV Wasp, Bomb hits 4, heavy fires, heavy damage CV Yorktown, Bomb hits 7, heavy fires, heavy damage BB Prince of Wales, Bomb hits 2 CVE Long Island, Bomb hits 3, Torpedo hits 1, heavy fires, heavy damage CVE Hammondsport, Torpedo hits 2, heavy fires, heavy damage DD Aylwin CVL Charlotte, Bomb hits 2, Torpedo hits 1, heavy fires, heavy damage BB North Carolina, Torpedo hits 4, on fire, heavy damage CLAA San Diego CA Indianapolis, Bomb hits 1 CA Quincy DD Sterett Fuel storage explosion on CVE Tangier Fuel storage explosion on CVE Hammondsport Fuel storage explosion on CVE Kittyhawk Heavy smoke from fires obscuring CVL Charlotte Heavy smoke from fires obscuring CV Yorktown Heavy smoke from fires obscuring CVE Tangier A second Afternoon strike went unopposed by CAP, not a good sign for dean.

So dean is pretty depressed after the outcome of this battle, so IDK if he is gonna continue after losing almost all his carriers......................

Evoken -> RE: RA Soulsilver (J)vs Deaniks (A) (10/18/2020 11:57:23 PM)
Congrats on your victory , Dean looks like someone that doesnt learn from his mistakes. Tried to engage you earlier with carriers and lost a couple , now a month later does the same thing again and expects a different result... I think its time to find a more competant opponent

John 3rd -> RE: RA Soulsilver (J)vs Deaniks (A) (10/19/2020 1:16:30 AM)
BANZAI! All glory to the Emperor! Pretty depressing fight for the Allies. Not a single hit. How badly were his bombers mauled before they tipped over into their dives and TT attack?

quote: ORIGINAL: John 3rd BANZAI! All glory to the Emperor! Pretty depressing fight for the Allies. Not a single hit. How badly were his bombers mauled before they tipped over into their dives and TT attack? Around 25-30 bombers were shot down or forced to turn around prior to their attack, along with around 15 wild cats. At least 35-40 bombers made it and were able to attack but somehow scored 0 hits. They were dropping them bombs at normal dive bombing altitudes (3-5k) so altitude wasnt the problem either. Maybe pilot quality wasnt great???

soulsilver -> RE: RA Soulsilver (J)vs Deaniks (A) (10/19/2020 2:14:46 AM)
Also I can confirm that dean has surrendered so this game is over. We will probably start a new game in about a week or so. Not sure if I'll be doing an AAR for that though or what mod we will use.

deaniks -> RE: RA Soulsilver (J)vs Deaniks (A) (10/19/2020 4:24:07 AM)
i do learn from my mistakes I'm just a very aggressive and impatient opponent lol and me and soul know each other for a while and we learned how to play this game together so we will proplyd continue until we get bored of it.

RangerJoe -> RE: RA Soulsilver (J)vs Deaniks (A) (10/19/2020 4:35:10 AM)
The pilots weren't trained enough if they ere dropping from 3-5 thousand feet.

soulsilver -> RE: RA Soulsilver (J)vs Deaniks (A) (10/20/2020 12:23:37 PM)
Ok for our next game we will switch sides. And we will use the Between the storms heavy mod.

John 3rd -> RE: RA Soulsilver (J)vs Deaniks (A) (10/21/2020 3:46:44 AM)
Hold the phone for a day. I have a new addition nearly finished. Have done work on the Japanese old 2nd class DDs and am adding the new Dutch 1047 Battlecruiser. Hope to release tomorrow night.

Hope to release tomorrow night. Thank you for the heads up, btw why does japan start with less dockyard factories in BTS than in RA? At least the version of the mod that my opponent is using only has 1600 dockyard points despite the increased build queue. Was this a rebalancing since RA or an under sight? In RA the japanese start with almost 1700 dockyard points at the start.

John 3rd -> RE: RA Soulsilver (J)vs Deaniks (A) (10/21/2020 2:42:50 PM)
Michael and I (with the help of 6-8 playtesters) did a thorough top-to-bottom revamp of both BTS Mods. That'll be the difference. Hope to get the update out tonight.

soulsilver -> RE: RA Soulsilver (J)vs Deaniks (A) (10/22/2020 3:12:59 AM)
So I've proposed the idea of a mulligan to dean, and hes responded fairly positively to it. So this game might actually continue with us rolling back a turn before the carrier fiasco. I've never had a game last this long and I really want to get to 43. I dont really feel that I need to kill his carriers either considering I hold such a dominate position on the map.

John 3rd -> RE: RA Soulsilver (J)vs Deaniks (A) (10/22/2020 3:59:47 AM)
If so, that is cool. I have completed the update. If interested, please PM me with your email address and I'll send the new files.

They do have to be on the ship and it worked for me in my current game. As I�d read that it doesn�t work for Nisshin and Mizuho I left those FP units off, so I can�t confirm or deny for those ships. It might have something to do with the difference between upgrade and conversion. I would much rather the extra F/TB units if it is possible as I have FP units coming out my ears, while F/TB units are a lot more scarce.

Did it just kick them ashore, so you didn't lose the FP units?

John 3rd -> RE: RA Soulsilver (J)vs Deaniks (A) (10/22/2020 1:34:50 PM)
The air groups SHOULD have converted. That is strange. I sent both game folders to each of you. You have the BTSH and BTSL to choose from. As I said in my emails, when I get back from my eldest son's hunting trip, I will get the Dutch BC artwork to you.

an alternate Aug 27th. (we ended up rolling back a turn before the carrier fiasco) Today I pulled my carriers back, I still killed a Bogue class CVE and the BB Pennsylvania for basically free (well at the cost of some fuel tbf). I'm gonna take my win and walk away for now. Idk if I'm gonna move my carriers back to Truk quite yet. Probably need to keep some serious assets up here to prevent an allied reinforcement of Adak. I'll move the carriers back to Ominato for now and regroup with the newly arrived Taikaku and the newly upgraded Akizuki class DDs. Normal air strikes on Bombay were uncontested as per usual. I'm pretty sure all his planes are damaged and the airfield is too damaged for him to fly them north to Karachi, so they are stuck here...

Aug 30th I spotted a cruiser TF that in our previous Auguest 27th bombarded. The TF took a standoff position off Russel Island and then pulled back. The TF however continued to sit off the coast of Luganville island. I seriously wondered if it was bait/ some CAP trap, but nonetheless Carrier Division 1 (akagi, kaga) sortied from Truk and launched an attack. It did not appear to be a predetermined trap, there was some Cap, but it looked more like bleed over from Luganville. Morning Air attack on TF, near Luganville at 118,149 Weather in hex: Heavy cloud Raid detected at 80 NM, estimated altitude 14,000 feet.
