PBEM example -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Morning Air attack on TF, near Tawi Tawi at 72,92 Weather in hex: Thunderstorms Raid detected at 80 NM, estimated altitude 10,000 feet. Estimated time to target is 30 minutes Japanese aircraft A6M2 Zero x 71 B5N1 Kate x 4 B5N2 Kate x 41 D3A1 Val x 55 Allied aircraft F4F-4 Wildcat x 129 Japanese aircraft losses A6M2 Zero: 6 destroyed B5N1 Kate: 3 damaged B5N1 Kate: 1 destroyed by flak B5N2 Kate: 1 destroyed, 21 damaged B5N2 Kate: 7 destroyed by flak D3A1 Val: 6 destroyed, 20 damaged D3A1 Val: 4 destroyed by flak Allied aircraft losses F4F-4 Wildcat: 2 destroyed Allied Ships CV Hornet CV Enterprise BB Washington, Torpedo hits 1 CV Wasp, Bomb hits 2, on fire CV Yorktown CV Saratoga CV Lexington, Bomb hits 1 CA New Orleans BB North Carolina, Bomb hits 1, Torpedo hits 1 according to the great tips you get in this thread, LMAO, the altitude of my fighters should be perfectly suited. Pre warning is just fine I guess? Cap manages to down 10 Zeroes, 11 Vals and 2 Kates. Two dozen aircraft in halve an hour is quite an achievement. Now I am not really surprised because that's how it has been pretty much all the time and that's not my point. My point is that you just can't do anything about how the routine works and all those tips won't change a thing so ppl shouldn't be fooled by some guys' fantasy of what they can influence in the game. Same as saying an air HQ would help coordination, lol, that's another dead horse so I'll leave it.

The examples have been off by such a margin from reality and have always been, but like it has been mentioned by all sides in this thread, this isn't the point of the discussion anyway. But to think to be able to change the borked outcomes into spot on results by clicking altitude up and down is very optimistic. In the above example, all that saved the USN was THUNDERSTORMS and the flak in Babes. Cap is nothing but a nuisance and always has been. Works well with 10 vs 10 aircraft perhaps, fails right at the point when there are more than 20 aircraft involved. Having a lucky die roll and thunderstorms in your CV hex means more than all the tips on how to set and handle Cap and I would stand down 100% of my fighters on Cap for a thunderstorm compared to clear sky and the perfect Cap setting of the experts on this wonderful forum that wouldn't do anything but to fail to defend the fleet. edit: a side note on CV stacking, something I don't care either, despite that every expert here would say one should not do it because coordinated strikes would be literally impossible. Well, play the game, do some tests. I have been using my Allied carriers in one single TF for years and the results are just great and far better than having them split in separate TFs. As you can see, both in the morning and afternoon, my CV TF that started off with nearly 500 carrier based aircraft launched a fully coordinated strike. Must be another LOL moment.
