hi PzB... regarding invading Okha - i would go for it! Why not taking a little oil from Russians... Just be sure that you bring enough forces there (that you can defend this base from the counter attack)... Someone might say that is an exploit, but hey Empire is also tied with all those KWA reinforcements which arrives in HI and not in Manchuria.... so, why not?

Double update! Managed to do one turn in a break at work [:)] That's it Pauk - I need 800 AP! Sent most of these units to Kwantung, so not sure I can scrounge enough. Maybe I can release a Home Island unit within a month and add some units from Sakhalin. Doesn't seem like Andy is considering a landing there anymore.

Purely a defensive posture thus far.

Except from the 'Black Widdow' - the Heinkel He219 'Uhu' (Owl) was the only custom built night fighter! And what an Owl...it managed 400mph and fielded a good radar and up to 6x30mm guns. German night air defenses were very effective and downed 80 ac in a single night in 3/44! The 'Schrage Music' was more than a ventral gun...firing was commenced when photo cells detected substance above the aircraft and let of a burst of 30mm rounds. Just a few hits would be enough to shoot down a 4E. In the process the night fighter would be almost invisible to the bomber above!

The negative numbers is a consequence of too many ac being lost [8\|] The total score is right though.... Think this is the bloodiest WitP game ever. Uber CAP has claimed tens of thousands of ac! [:o]

PzB74 -> RE: Heavy fighting in Luzon (8/26/2007 2:03:27 AM)
Slowly moving the 5th Div to Manila. This is one of the last major reinforcements to Luzon. In India I'm trying to create a defense in depth. All major bases with 9 forts will at least be defended by a Bde size battlegroup and base force units. Will slowly fall back upon Bombay and Karachi. Andy will have to fight really hard to get them. 2 major LCU units have reached India marching from Burma. Moving on the last para(sit) position blocking their road. Finished upgrading all Zeke units to A7M2. One 'regular' A6M5 Daitai remains - it doesn't upgrade to anything else. Then we got the numersou A6M5 kami units. When we run out of A6M5s in the pools and - if - we get a large surplus of Reppus, we may create some A7M2 kami units. AFTER ACTION REPORTS FOR 06/26/45 Air Combat Quiet day in the air! Luzon Enemy continues to hit San Marcelino!

WitP doesn't difference between JSIII and JapCrap tanks as far as I know It does differentiate between differing tank types (see the database or the plane/ground info screen in game) not sure JS3 is in there though, might just be t34's , but even so should be better than the 'japcrap' you so rightly name [:D]. How the game handles differant tanks is another matter however and i suspect that numbers may be way more important than type. So with that thinking I'd sent it to confront the red tide (whilst crossing fingers and patting a large oak tree for good luck)

Fishbed -> RE: Heavy fighting in Luzon (8/28/2007 8:28:39 PM)
Before activating the Soviets a little earlier than planned, maybe you should start to discuss with Andy everything that has to do with stationing non-soviet air units in soviet airbases - maybe create a rule which limits US air presence to a credible presence? Once the USSR gets available, nothing in the Empire will be out of Allied airmen reach, and you'd better have maximum air reserves by then, as the Home Islands will be turned into a burning hell...

Fishbed -> RE: Heavy fighting in Luzon (8/28/2007 9:03:14 PM)
My bad, just read that Andy promised you not to use USAAF units from Soviet held bases. Ok then, that's way cool from him [:)]

Yes Fish, we agreed long time ago that no US bombers were to be based in Soviet bases. Tensions between US/USSR were growing after the fall of Nazi Germany!

Urk, touched the enter button and posted before editing. Using a laptop for AAR is a Major Pain. So, we're in July and may be nuked any time.... Andy didn't go home but sent another even larger strike against Gumma! Not only were there 1 enemy CV TF - there were 2. The cv's sent 140 Corsairs + Hellcats over Gumma and carnage happened. 22 Shindens caused a lot of damage to enemy and suffered surprisingly small losses. Most Shinden pilots survive, which is great. 15 Shindens lost in A2A and 3 on the ground. 15 new ones arrived from factories today and all units are filling out. More of that later. Enemy bombers hit air industries heavily and Shinden production fell to 468 units from some 500. Andy will have to sacrifice a lot of his best navy pilots to keep it up. 44 Corsairs and 20 Hellcats were shot down today. A sweep over Tokyo by Black Widdows caused us a 100 fighters!! Really surprised that the night fighters are so good - even Reppus have a hard time. We downed 64 Widdows and won't be seeing them again if that's a comfort.

Yep Ian, got your PM! Looking forward to posting your airtops tomorrow [:)] Indeed, the Shinden is not a LRCAP fighter...but you should see the baby in A2A battles with decent pilots - the Corsairs melt under the quad 30 cannons [&o] [:D][8D] You're forgiven Fish, I did what I could and provided a good LRCAP over Tokyo and maintained an even stronger CAP over Gumma. Little to do when Andy manage to get of 160 fighters from 2 CV TFs in t-storms [8\|] The results were average - especially against Black Widdows - but Shinden performance boosted morale! Give us another month and all our major centres will have 50 of them on CAP. Agree, a port strike against Tokyo would have gutted half our destroyers, a light cruiser and the Kirishima! [:'(] Gumma Strike This is how the strike looked like! How can CVs shrouded in during bad weather launch fighter escorts?? [image]local://upfiles/1466/4AB759B4D91F4342B12B70A315376848.jpg[/image]

suffering 15 friendly losses. Doesn't sound great - but enemy came in great numbers with his best ac and pilots and I counted no more than 7-8 missing Shinden pilots. Just shows that we need to get more Shindens in the air if we are to prevent the terror bombers from terrorising the Home Islands!
