Hi:

The Avenger was designed to carry its torpedo and/or bombs in an internal bay.

Not sure if it even had bomb attachment points on the wings. It was a heavy airframe and getting off the deck even with a catapult was tough. No need to dirty up the wings.

The Kate was a generation behind the ...

I just installed the game on a new computer and need the series of updates/patches. Where would I look on this site?

Thanks

Any idea what turning off the Dec 7 Surprise toggle does?

<t> All interesting, but not addressing my original point.<br/>
<br/>
As for your MOS, you are far from the only veteran on this site and I have been both an airman and (later) a lieutenant. I understand how much clout lieutenants don't have. There should have been a filter center and a more ...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>So your point is that the warning is followed through. When I played the RHS mod, you were allowed to use early warning and move some ships and put up a CAP. We played in teams. Caution though, RHS is for experienced players. So don't dive into the deep side yet....<e ...

That's the reality and trying to pretend otherwise is Monday-morning quarterbacking at it's finest

This whole game is about Monday morning quarterbacking, that's what makes it fun!

First of all, you can disagree with my analysis without belittling it. I think you need to get out the house more or maybe eat a bit more fiber.<br/>

<t> The fact is the USN carrier air groups and the VP squadrons were very well trained and performed well in the weeks after the attack. Ditto for the carrier task force ships. The only criticism of Adm Kimmel voiced before the attack was that he trained the fleet too hard. Certainly this was ...

<t> The failure to heed the warnings of both the Army radar and the Navy ships defending the harbor entrance were tactical blunders, neither would have prevented the crippling of the Battle Force. At best an aroused defense could have used a few minutes warning to go to Condition One on the ships ...

I suggest you read "and I Was There" (Rear Adm Layton) and "On the Treadmill to Pearl Harbor" by Adm J.O. Richardson. <br/>

When the U.S. embargoed oil to Japan, the Japanese knew that drastic action was necessary. It was obvious to them (and probably us ...

That's what I'm afraid of. It's an unfortunate limitation on what could be an interesting alternative history. I am afraid that the limitations would be coded to Turn 1, so could not be avoided no matter what start date you specified.

<t> Mind-Messing:<br/>
<br/>
I'm not sure any changes are necessary. What I need to know is: <br/>
<br/>
(With the surprise turned on, the Japanese execute surprise attacks across the Pacific). If I turn the surprise off, does the Allied player now get to move first in the first turn?<br/>
<br ...

<t> I agree. My thought was to run the BB south and possibly engage one of the Japanese Gilbert TF. The carriers could also strike there or maybe hit the Marshalls.<br/>

The large fighter force in Hawaii could inflict heavy attrition on the KB airstrike, especially if warned by the radar ...

<t> I am working on a new Scenario 1 mod starting on December 1, 1941.<br/>
<br/>
I would like to game the US taking action to receive the Japanese attack on December 7, that is, reacting in-theater to the pending enemy activity.<br/>
<br/>
There was plenty of warning which was wasted by Admiral ...

<t> The Germans and Japanese, of course, had very different maritime histories and missions for their heavy combatants.<br/>
<br/>
The Germans never were invested in CV's for WWII, unlike the Atlantic Allies. So escorting CV's were never their thing. All of their ships, including Bismarck and ...

<t> I've always wondered why the Japanese did not commit Yamato during the Guadalcanal campaign. I read somewhere that it was because this super-battleship was a fuel hog.<br/>

Her 18-inch shells would have been much more powerful than the smaller caliber guns of earlier Japanese BB and ...

The German Kriegsmarine had only two battleships (Schlachtschiffe): Largest German commerce-raiding warship class with eight 15-inch radar-controlled main guns. Also carried 4 Bordfliegergruppe floatplanes for reconnaissance. They were capable of fighting the largest Allied ...

<t> You need to go to the books about the Corsair on CVE. I know the Allies operated F6F Hellcats in support of Mediterranean invasions after Spring 1944.I know they operated successfully from US and Brit CV.<br/>
