Re: Quick Questions Thread


Some of my LCUs will change to strategic move mode automatically even though I have given them other operation modes, it is pretty annoying to see them packing themselves when they are literally next to enemy. Is it a bug ? :(


:lol:

If they are set to move with a train unit or if they have a ...

Re: Never Thought I'd Start Another One - tc464 (A) vs. Mike (J)


I do like the idea of fighters and maybe a little ASW on those little CVEs. The problem I have is, where do I find the fighter groups? The only IJN fighters I have in the front line are the ones that start the war with 23 Air Flotilla, 2x 31 and 4x 9 plane units. EVERYTHING else is training. I ...

Re: Quick Questions Thread


Hi! got a couple of questions about ground combat as a noob.

1 - Checking the manual, I'm not sure if I'm not getting how suppression works or the "use case" for it. The manual says that artillery and naval/air bombardment have a chance to suppress units and prevent devices from attacking for a ...

Okay then . . .

If there is no immediate HQ in the hex to give the LCU battalion orders, you get the message. Then the higher level HQ takes over and gives directions. The higher the level of HQ, the more communication devices there are and thus a better direction for that unit and then the ...

Some of that depends upon your settings and how you play the game.

In the game CVE Kaiyo have only 127mm naval guns, IRL it had the usual 127mm Type 89 DP gun. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_ ... Kaiy%C5%8D

How can an issue like this can occur?
Clicking on the wrong gun in the editor. That could be an easy fix . . .

Some of you may be asking why I'm "risking" MKB on a wild goose chase to get some cargo ships, a tanker and a few old DDs?


Actually, .... NO. I think it a great idea and would likely do the same with similar circumstances ... Ted can't know whether this is the MKB or the KB unless he gets ...

The AI reacted to your invasion of the other islands. If you would have left those alone, then the computer would not have sent those islands reinforcements. Keep your eye on the prize and not the low hanging fruits.

Re: Escort TF and loaded ships

Maybe they should have disbanded although that might not have made a difference.

If the TF was a transport TF then they probably would have the option to not unload the task force.

It's February 1944 and the battle of Ceylon hangs in the balance. I have counterinvaded and am trying to push the Allies out before they reinforce.

Meanwhile, this is a pretty unique game so I have a question:

Re: River crossings and arty losses

The guns usually are not in the first line in the assault, they would be firing in support and then moving across when a bridgehead on the other side is established.
