Hi guys,

I'm an old UV/Witp player who's recently started playing AE. I too have noticed that CD defenses seem to be a bit extreme (numerous Japanese ships have been shredded by my CD units early game, particularly at Khota Baru and Wake).

My question is, can CD units be degraded by "Port attack" air raids, as in Witp? I'm assuming that naval bombardment on the actual day of invasion still helps too?

thanks!

Well, this didn't seem right.

I moved the 6th RAA CD unit in Aus to Darwin (first move of the war)... it had 16 6" guns on it.

Mid-January, my opponent bombed Darwin (fortifications at level 3) for about a week with approximately 150-200 various bombers per day.

My opponent sent in a large BB tf to bombard for 2 days. He also sent in a couple of large CA/CL bombardment tf's for a couple of days.

End result, I had 1 6" gun disabled. Did anywhere from 30-50 hits on ~4 BB's. Too many hits on the CA's, CL's, and DD's to count or remember...
