RE: Air Display

<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 ...

RE: Air Display

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

RE: (Some) Zeros Search Qualified in Santa Cruz Scn

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 ...

RE: Some points of discussion

<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 ...

RE: Some points of discussion

<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 ...

RE: Some points of discussion

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.[:@]

RE: Some points of discussion

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????

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 ...

RE: Australia?

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.

Australia?

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]
