Its the torpedo hit accuracy that I am objecting too. A single DD also took on the Yamato and several DD's in a transport TF a few game weeks ago and also hit the BB with a torpedo. If in June 1944 the Allies torpedos were so good then there must be real evidence somewhere????

Nothing on any wondrous torpedo abilty here - sank alot of SS's - are they just vastly overrated like division destroying 4E's??????????

BTW whats so good about the Fletchers in this game (assuming they were Fletchers)? What did they do IRL to merit such wonderful powers? Its the fact that 5 out of 7 of my ships were hit by torpedo's, 4 of which were DD's.

Haha pleased with yourself Roger Neilson III?

<t> Think my eagle eyed boys spotted the Fletchers first and opened fire. My flyboys finished off the Allied TF remnants from the air in daylight so from what you are telling me this was a Jap victory?? Cant afford too many more of these some-one once said.....<br/>

Maximum visibility ...

BTW the Jap ships were all fully armed and had the best captains going...

<t> Five American DD's sailed into Truk and sunk a much much stronger force. So many torpedo hits. Has something in the latest patch gone wrong? Anyone else noticed anything similar? <br/>

Thanks, fighters with bombs dont fly Naval unless you put them at 100' - personal experience so they will use strafe [:)]

Cant remember, is it strafe or low Naval?

Thanks

Impressive!!!

Thanks morejeffs. We've updated well over thirty times [:)] Both of us have lost our forum accounts a few times too. Quite a few house rules, especially on the bully boy Allies [X(]

Just curious folks, dont want to be submitted to the Guiness book of records lol, we set off 4 1/2 years ago, are up to around May 17th 1944, a few game issues on the way lol. Should be finished by 2017/2018.

It does suck that the way the program works ALL supply can be destroyed very easily. Even when it is a lot more than the paltry 350 here. So although this is a poor example, the premise holds. The way AE continues to use the same calculation ...

If I recall correctly, a supply hit destroys supply equal to a random percentage of the anti-soft rating of the device hitting.<br/>

Therefore, in the case of a 1000-lb SAP bomb from a Dauntless, the maximum supplies a supply hit ...

As erstad noted there is absolutely nothing new about this behavior. The 'effect' of the weapon that hits influences how much supply it might destroy. Bigger bombs, shells, etc. destroy more, on average, than smaller ones.<br/>

350 supply is a very small amount. Can be easily destroyed in a single attack.
