Status: offline 		I have again lost a combat report and this time it's really annoying as it was a devastating day for the IJN as our biplane torpedo bombers from Soerabaja have put over halve a dozen torps into three different IJN BBs running from Java.

First the Vindicators scored some 1000lb bomb hits

Status: offline 		And then it was time for the biplanes to strike. Luck and bad luck lie close together and due to the single torp hit on a BB yesterday the whole TF was slowed down ending up in torpedo strike range. One hex movement more and they would have been safe. Talk about nuances again.

That sub was Dutch, but IIRC, it does not come with a great captain or experienced crew. For the US subs with MK 14 torps, many of the misses must be attributed to the torpedo problems- which included too great a depth for the setting and gyroscope issues. Things will improve as the torp dud rate reduces. By then the US subs will also have much more experience.

BTW, does the second screenshot of that hit on the AO mean there was a second hit or is it just a duplicate of the first screenshot?

Have replaced all "bad" captains on any of my subs. None of the Dutch subs is commanded by a debile captain and the crews are also ok. And there hasn't been a single attack with MK-14 torps in the whole campaign yet as I use the USN fleet subs for transport duties only. Never use them before October 42 because all the click work you put into them is just not worth it.

lol, that double screenshot is really funny as the forum only allows one per post. When you upload a file it's always put at the end of the post and then you have to edit the post to put the screenshot to where you want it, in my case usually fitting the combat report. This time the "original" screenshot at the end of the post just stayed there.

rinse and repeat... the last days I've been waiting for Port Moresby's airfield turn into a level five to fly in the heavies for a strike on Rabaul which we have never attacked so far and Mundy pays for it again as he has ships in port the day after PM turned into an airfield big enough for the B-17s... this time we don't catch any carriers or battleships (on which we only scratched the paint) but a light cruiser squadron disbanded in port... especially nice to hit the CS which I always keep in Japan when playing as the Japanese as they are a must have CVL for me... this time Yubari was the only ship being able to shrug off 500lb bombs, the rest took heavy damage during the attack...

Rabaul is no safe anchorage anymore...

Status: offline 		at least one or two light cruisers were probably sunk today but the air losses leave a question mark again as 2 Jakes destroyed must be coming from the light cruisers but where are 6 Pete as ops losses coming from? Pretty much the same as after the attack on the IJ carriers at Balikpapan...

Status: offline 		xAKL Nanning may keep running into that micro-KB TF constantly because they are going to the same place. Each time they meet, they both flee back one hex, then resume their journey and meet again! Seems strange that the escort does not fire at least a few shots at Nanning - a slow xAKL can't be hard to hit.

this attack has been the only noteworthy action today as the Japanese shock attacked across the river disabling halve of their Army... our troops are fully supplied so with an equally strong force attacking here there's nothing to achieve and even less so after having to shock attack across the river... I know Mundy doesn't like continental ground combat so I wonder if we are going to see a quiet China... for me playing as the Japanese knocking out the Chinese is a must though...

nav search is reporting a carrier TF moving around the tip of Borneo, heading Southwest and I'm sure it's the CVL/CVE group our xAKL stumbled into several times... looks like the two baby carriers are escorting another convoy so these ships might move to Malang to reinforce the beachhead there... with only two baby carriers that could be a super high risk operation as our airfields on Java are fully operational... being in danger of a naval bombardment we have moved most of our bombers out of Soerabaja...

we have not used our carriers offensively but tomorrow will be time to commit them against a target of opportunity as naval search has picked up three task forces North of Sorong... Force Z (minus Repulse) and all our available USN carriers are covering a convoy going to Ambon, bringing reinforcements, will move North to engage the Japanese... must be some high value stuff as it seems to be heavily escorted...

here comes the USN! The carriers moved North and catch the enemy at max range for the SBDs to carry 1000lb ship killers... four enemy heavy cruisers were identified and I'm not sure if I should be happy or not about target selection today as we sink a lot of freighters with troops aboard but in return the heavy cruisers were pretty much left alone... most of the damaged freighters will go down so there will be a lot of Japanese combat troops drowning but I consider IJN CAs a real threat so they are very high up on my target list...

CVE Taiyo, Bomb hits 3, heavy fires, heavy damage

we finally get some bombers to fly but the escort is a joke considering we've also ordered 75 Warhawks on escort... the enemy only has 19 Zeroes to fend off our attack but they perform extraordinarily good... our trained Vindicators still put three 1000lb bombs into CVE Taiyo which could be in real trouble now... usually I consider a CVE being sunk after taking three such bombs and suffering an ammo storage explosion...


Aircraft Attacking:
5 x SB2U-3 Vindicator releasing from 4000'
Naval Attack: 1 x 1000 lb SAP Bomb
11 x Vildebeest III launching torpedoes at 200 feet

Naval Attack: 1 x 18in Mk XII Torpedo
2 x Swordfish I launching torpedoes at 200 feet
Naval Attack: 1 x 18in Mk XII Torpedo

CAP engaged:
Sasebo Ku S-1 with A6M2 Zero (2 airborne, 5 on standby, 5 scrambling)
2 plane(s) intercepting now.
Group patrol altitude is 10000 , scrambling fighters between 10000 and 15000.
Time for all group planes to reach interception is 30 minutes
4 planes vectored on to bombers
Shoho-1 with A6M2 Zero (2 airborne, 5 on standby, 0 scrambling)
2 plane(s) intercepting now.
Group patrol altitude is 10000 , scrambling fighters between 10000 and 11000.

feels like a totally bad joke to see 27 Buffalos showing up with the third wave when no CAP is around anymore... looks like that single 1000lb bomb has shut down CVL Shohos flight deck and Taiyo is a burning wreck anyways...

airstrikes also during the afternoon but but they all go against the landing sites which really pisses me off as the two damaged baby carriers are left alone instead of finishing Shoho... Mikuma takes two bombs but shrugs them off...

Status: offline 		considering we have most likely sunk a CVE plus damaged a CVL today it must be seen as a success but the cost in aircraft was huge considering the tiny numbers available to us... the 19 Zeroes managed to down halve of my available Vindicators plus several other aircraft, racking up nearly two dozen kills for only one Zero lost... 75 Warhawks at the airfield of Soerabaja ordered on escort and not a single one flew...
