<t> I may be mistaken, but I don't believe Tiornu was advocating deleting torpedoes from the Japanese cruisers' armament. I think he's saying that the LL was more dangerous to the ships which carried it than its effectiveness ( vis the Type 90, I believe ) warranted. In other words, the Type 90 ...

<t> Then do what was done in real life, and disband the original group, whose ship no longer exists, to be used as a cadre in a newly formed CAG. To the best of my knowledge, when CV-2 Lexington went down, her air group was not transferred to Noumea or Brisbane to continue operations from the South ...

<QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>Yamato's ability to absorb punishment is well evident. The best data I've been able to find indicates Yamato was hit by 22 500lb-1000lb bombs and 10 torpedoes. I think Iowa would not have been able to sustain nearly as much damage. <e>[/quote]</e ...

<t> Unless I'm misunderstanding Feinder's numbers, these are HIS percentages, not the game's. Unfortunately, we have no real idea what weight the game engine assigns the variables that the spreadsheet factors in. If I am misunderstanding, and these are somehow the game's percentages, I'll be very ...

If any American BBs ( maybe the Arizona ) or CAs are still available, I'll take one.

Pickrell, Randy A. I'll leave the stats to your best judgement.


Thanks,
Randy

You, sir, are a liar. I never made the claim ...

I only ran it for a few seconds, but it seems to run properly now - thanks a lot. I know it's been said many times already in the last couple days, but it bears repeating - this is great service.

Many thanks.

Try setting up a sweep for both sides, from bases equidistant to the target - preferably fairly short ranged, 1 or 2 hexes. This should eliminate the problem with the CAP not engagin with equal numbers, while also reducing or eliminating the fatigue accrual disadvantage the ...

2 weeks to knock off 3 sys damage is an excellent rate of repair, from what I've seen. In one of my previous games, I put <I><s>[I]</s>Hornet<e>[/I]</e></I> in L'ville on 1 December with 15 points of sys damage. By 1 March, she was down to 12 points. Repairing capital ships ...

I haven't seen anything in the manual or from Matrix/2by3, but this is probably just reflecting reality. In the first year or so of the war, the USN was fairly bad at coordinating its carrier strikes. Instead of one large strike, the individual squadrons tended to end up ...

I've had this happen fairly often - try this: Go into your options screen, and turn combat reports off and right back on. Accept, and go back to your normal screen. Play the next turn, and when it's finished, your reports button should be back. You won't get the report for ...

JohnK, this is probably a pain in the ***, and I'm not sure if it's even feasible, not having played the Japanese yet, but how about transferring to a CVL or CVE first, then transferring to the new base? Like I said, probably a pain, but possibly workable, at least until ...

Are you playing #14 - Long Road Ahead? If so, don't blame the patch - it's been there from the beginning. That was the first scenario I played, and man was that annoying for about the first game-month or so. Finally learned to ignore it. Didn't bring it up, because I figured ...

Actually, the number of cancellations would probably exceed 50%. I kept track only of the number of times that I received the message "Port Moresby air missions canceled due to poor weather." If I received a message in the morning, I noted it, and if I received it in the ...

I appreciate the desire to tone down the experience gained from running supply missions; after all, how much combat experience can you gain carrying beans from Noumea to Luganville? However, before you do away with that, let's take a look at the Training routine. From what ...

<r>Now that is something I hadn't considered. I'll move 5th AF there post-haste. In the meantime, since, despite PM's unwillingness to bomb the crap out of the AI whenever I wanted it, the scenario is long since won, so I have started #17. I'm still going to keep track of number of cancellations, as ...

Let me say in advance that I apologize if this comes across as if I'm upset with the game or don't consider it a superior product. Far from it - this is easily the finest wargame I've ever played. It rates a 9.5 right out of the box. <br/>
That being said, I do have a gripe ...

<t>This is a minor problem with the system. CS routine convoys will load a little fuel when they are loading up; this is for at sea replenishing. This allows my TF's to make it to L'ville from Noumea without running out of fuel. Unfortunately, after off-loading at L'ville, the TF doesn't pick up any ...

Playing as the Allies, game time it's the middle of April, '43. Approx. Feb of '43 was when barges began to show up as available. Barge TF's are created the same way as PT boat TF's. Check your Ship Availability screen - if you have barges available, and have a Transport TF ...

<t>I already have my LBA anti-shipping squadrons set for 1000'. I keep one set at 100', just in case the skip-bombing ever decides to kick in. And, of course, you're correct - I seem to get plenty of hits from 1000'. I guess I'm just greedy, and want to see if skip-bombing is even more effective ...
