<t> Hey folks,<br/>
<br/>
been a while since i was on here, i don't really play witp anymore <br/>
(well, got a game going against the ai, nothing worth mentioning)<br/>
<br/>
but i was looking for one of the old "waiting for AE" topics.<br/>
<br/>
we used to have one up with a similar title ...

sounds bad.. wish you much strength for the time coming

oh! didnt know the repair DD part, that really comes in handy!! (now only to wait another 90 days for conversions..)

sub attack : 3. jap ASW attack : 1 . Target hit: 1 (one AO). No targets sink. 3 subs hits (2 by planes), 1 sub sink ( O-16 after a air patrol plane hit it in Bengal bay).<br/>
Nearly no ...

<t> i once put 4 torps into repulse & 5 into Prince of wales (not sure on penetration, but no duds were amongst them), <br/>
and both managed to get out of harms way after the attacks.... judging by the lots of water there is a LOT of water to overcome, but im just saying; big lady's can take a lot ...

glad your still continuing your game!

looks like your starting to get some good airfights to odds in your favor at last [8D]

<t> the fact that your sweeps dont hit might be because their alltitudes are different from the incoming Fighters?<br/>
so you might wanna check their last alt from a combat report and set yours to the same altitude + 1000 or 2000. <br/>
(being higher is an advantage, but if their to high to see ...

i though standard WITP would be a closed down game, like the dos version?

but i'd say improvement is allways a good thing!! [8D]

Looking at the experience of you unit being 61, you might want to try and train them for a while?
(plenty of time to do so if they were there since June)

If you can pit them in a fight with equeal XP i'd say your odds will shoot up sky high

gratz to both, sounds like you both had a good time

<t> good points there <br/>

I was more thinking of a offensive action against a naval base instead of KB. with all the cv's on the other side of the map a response would come purely from aviation support from a specific place (most likely an island), which musters a much smaller threat to ...

<t> and i noticed your minefield of 300 at the Andaman isl.<br/>
I usually pack all of my (IJN) ML into 2 or 3 TF's and pack about 1000-1500 mines on a place, having 300 isnt really worth the hassle (i believe the Allies have fewer ML's, but to counter that, they have an abundance of lvl 9 ports to ...

could it be? a miracle!?!

not only a great story to read, also a brilliant commander of forces

Is KB trying to lure me into a trap ? Wishing to draw me close in a CV vs CV battle ?<br/>

<t> looks like an offensive will have to wait a bit indeed, but it will come eventually [8D]<br/>
<br/>
well, were playing our game in about 2 turns a week so progress is slow..<br/>
<br/>
added to that were kind of in a low period, with not much happening, the landings in india are on the march ...

talking 'bout motivation;

how many capital ships & ca's have been sunk on both sides?

<r> thats an awfull lot of red smileys in your last couple of posts..<br/>

<br/>
on the weather topic;<br/>
when theres a bad weather prediction i usually dont count on my planes to attack anything, i do keep about 50 on nav search (less when there are thunderstorms!), but the rest is ...

didn't see that one coming!

just a couple more days until the big "move"
