<t> It was used out of Port Moresby primarily as a ground attack fighter. It flew at tree top level along the Kokoda track to bomb any Japanese encampments or strongpoints it could find. The reason for the nick-name though is because of the quite close fitting cowling over the engines they didn't ...

The plane the Japanese refered to as "Whispering Death" was the Bristol Beaufighter.

I noticed the same thing. On each carrier in the Carrier Striking Force they each have a squadron of Zeroes&nbsp;that is Recon trained, 1/EII, 1/EI and 2/CII.

After getting some results that seemed odd to me I opened up the Wake scenario in the editor and checked the fire control and damage control ratings of the American and Japanese carriers. It turns out that the Japanese carriers actually had ...

Hi Nugget, one issue affecting this will also be that we don't know where the bomb's/torps have hit and therefore can't gauge the criticality of them in terms of survivability. Did they graze the destroyers? Did they impact areas that ...

<t> Hey guys, please don't get me wrong I'm not having a go at CAW! All this thread does is registers my frustration at my inability to sink Japanese ships. I'm sure this has got a whole lot to do with me and not the game, so if anyone out there thinks that I'm having a go at CAW, Matrix or SSG I'm ...

<t> I do know that the japanese did construct the ships in a more effective way than the Americans, by this I mean that as a whole their ships are more durable and don't spread damage as much. Admittedly this changed later in the war when they were using less refined fuel oil in their ships, but ...

Its gone now. 10 bombs and 2 torpedoes.

Woohoo! The Shiratsuyu has finally sunk! It only took 3 bombs and 5 torpedoes! (I wish there was a button to insert sarcasm!) Unfortunately the Akatsuki is still steaming merrily along after what is now 5 bomb hits and only 4 bars of damage.[:@]

I'm not doubting the AI in the game, it's more a reflection on my command style. Or lack of![:D]

But the destroyer thing is slightly more annoying. I hit another with 4 Dauntless bombs and it only had 3 bars of damage. Is there something I could be doing wrong????

<t> Maybe some you guys could help me with these.<br/>

1 - Japanese Destroyers.<br/>
<br/>
I've noticed that Japanese destroyers are extremely durable! I had one of them, the Yamagumo (I think its an Asahio class?), absorb 4 bomb hits from Helldivers and 5 torpedo hits from Avengers before ...

<t> City. Western Sydney actually. Its Primus Online and they suck! Its fine if you're just surfing but as soon as you want to d/l anything it dies. Also the d/l limit we've got set up is low and as soon as you go over it you go even slower.<br/>
<br/>
Ah well, I'm not paying for it so I can't ...

If you have troubles downloading large files then we suggest you use a download client like "Stardownloader" available for free from <URL url="http://www.stardownloader.com">www.stardownloader.com</URL> . It will let you resume ...

<t> I cracked and started the download, I am going away for the weekend but I figured I could&nbsp;get in a solid few hours tonight before I left my laptop at home. Unfortunately my connection kept dying (I even hard wired into the&nbsp;modem but it made no difference) so I called my bro-in-law and ...

Oh yeah, I forgot ask, how long does it take to get out here if I order it to be delivered?

<t> Cool, thanks Gregor.<br/>
<br/>
I think I'll order the physical copy. May take a little longer to get here but I know it will be worth the wait.<br/>
<br/>
I think my fiance will kill me if I get Battlefront and CAW at the same time, I'd never talk to her! I'll leave Battlefront until after ...

<t> I'm in Sydney, it's just annoying that it's harder to get things over here considering the SSG is an Australian company and all.<br/>
<br/>
I think I'll just wait until I hear its out and then just figure things out from there, I'll start firing off emails to SSG and hassling them until I get ...

Could be an option. Hopefully the game will be relased soon and I'll be able to sort it out. I've be hanging for this to be realeased, I remember losing countless days and weeks playing the original.

Unfortunately its a wireless ADSL connection, generally the average speed I get on a download is 10kb/sec. I think that would be just to painful!

What are the plans for releasing in Australia? [&:][&:]

I'm expecting a delay between release in the US and here but I would like to know what the plans are 'cause I'm dying for this game! [:D][:D]
