In the "Wake case" actually the damage was light and very light to the warships. The Amphibious task force gets the more damage. Most APs get HEAVY and VERY HEAVY damage, also the DD Yugumo and the CL Kashima. The first force is a bombardement force that bombard with light damage Wake. After arrive the Amphibious force that get the most damage. Two APs sinks return to Truk. Probably another three transports do not reach Truk, and the crippled Yugumo.

Good Lord...[X(] depends on how damaged they were.. Not really. The fact that they are firing this much is worrisome. I wonder if all CD guns fire at each target? Anyway, this is alot of hits! What are these CD gunners, all naval trained with director controlled weapons or what!?![X(][:-] One would think the ships would be firing back, hitting and disrupting the CD gunners. Problem with this game is that NOTHING is simultaneous it seems...everythings in phases. That's why we get weird land bombardment results etc.

quote: ORIGINAL: String if you don't like it don't play it. It's not going to be recoded anyway It WAS recoded to deal with endless naval bombardment missions. Because the game allows massive damage by naval bombardment and the 7/11 like ability of fishing wharves to refuel and rearm naval TFs, players use naval bombardment way out of proportion to actual fact. And this is not an issue where the player is using the assets in a better way than the historical combatants, it's because the game has made naval bombardment so easy and so rewarding that it is now a major staple of game strategy. BS. Instead of dealing with the root of the problem (reducing naval bombardment effectiveness vs bases and making it necessary for TFs to refuel and rearm at bases of a minimum size and/or with naval base forces present), they decided to counter it with further excessiveness (making CD batteries from Hell). So, I don't like this and many aspects of the game....but, I'll still play it because it has no counterpart.

The damage in those attacks was very light. -The 30 a japanese surface force (RADM Aiko), with heavy cruisers Aoba, Kinugasa and Kako and four destroyers bombard Vanikolo. The damage in base was severe. 12 planes destroyed, 220 casualties and 18 holes in runway. Burma/India Front -Heavy dogfights and air attacks in India Sector. The japanese launch some raids against Diamond Harbour and Dacca and the British answer with attacks to Akyab. -Beetween 8 and 12 the japanese conducts a supply convoy to Chandpur with the escort of 3rd KB Division (Soryu, Hiryu, Hosho, Unyo and Taiyo). The supplies arrives but the Taiyo and Hosho are damaged. The Taiyo was put out of action. -The 20 the japanese repeat the supplies mission with same objetive, Chandpur. But this time the british have the new DB Vengeance I and the Soryu was hit the 27. The following day the Hosho and Unyo also get damage, critical in the former. -Anyway, the two supplies missions allow the japanese launch a definitive attack against the allied defenses in Chandpur. The 29 the british and allies withdraws troops to Dacca. _____________________________
