On the Battleship bombardment, I've seen them do that kind of damage. It seems to vary a lot, but the high end of several BBs hitting a base is quite high. No idea is CVS did anything to those equations.

Do you think he is going to take (or try to take) Daly Waters? Is his bombing doing anything significant there?

I have large numbers of Chinese troops trapped in Homan and Nanyang. Once these pockets are reduced, I will advance on Sian/ Yenan and crush the Chinese Northern flank.

<t> If you now consider the Pacific convoy routes closed, how much got through? It seems unpleasantly early for that situation to exist, I'm guessing the Australia area will lack movable LCUs. Long term, that element may be a large boon to Japan as he needs fewer LCU defenses along that border.<br ...

The Jap has no effective counter to daylight raids with massed 4E bombers let alone night raids. And 100 B-17s at 6000' during the day will just annihilate a base.<e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE>

I posted an example earlier - I just got the next turn in. Over 600 planes at the base. Size 6, so it's way overstacked <br/>

Gods, if its toned down now I'm glad I never saw it before. Last turn I lost 46 Zeroes to about 90 4Es night bombing Rangoon. No, it wasn't ...

<t> I've just taken Port Morseby in July 1942 (stock scen 15) and I realize I don't know what to do with it. Actually, I cannot think of anything I CAN do with it, except sit there and get bombed a lot. I don't remotely have the fighters to defend it against allied 4Es (my fighters are busy doing ...

<t> I have discovered the magic button!<br/>
I rolled the turn over and it didn't seem to help, but I got lucky and figured it out. Well, sort of figured it out. After much trial and error (and saving and reloading) I believe this is accurate:<br/>

I can put the new squadron on the carrier. I cannot disband the new squadron into the old carrier squadron. The get one plane button isn't available on any carrier I have in the game, even when it logically should be, in TF, in port, whatever.

<t> Due to escorts joining only the second strike, my Zuikaku's squadron of Kates has been reduced to zero aircraft (and 3 surviving pilots). I pulled the Zuikaku into Truk in order to disband some land based Kate units into the carrier squadron. But I cannot do it.<br/>

<t> In my PBEM, I am currently in the midst of trying to take Port Morseby in June 42. I got the forts with engineers, but it doesn't matter. 3 Divisions and a Brigade are not able to defeat the defenders.

Until you have truely massive numbers of B-29s, don't bother. Night bombing got nerfed into uselessness a few patches back.

<t> I had to post this because I cannot comprehend why my Mongolian troops aren't getting slaughtered. Early in the game, the allied player goofed and exposed his northern flank, letting me do an end run to Lanchow. I've held it for a while, despite his attempts to take it back, but in the last week ...

<t> The patch note list pilot distribution when dividing an airgroup as fixed. In my game it is not. I still find occasional Japanese airgroups that don't split pilots and planes correctly when divided. For example, every fraction of 27 gets 9 planes, but pilots go 12, 8 and 7. Rebuilt and split ...
