no fair, when I say HARD I hope no one thinks I am yelling

Hi Erik

okay I can buy that based on what I have seen, the bases I can not shut down should have tons of eng's in place, and in my case, what I seen with the JP side, I was not able to get any more troops to the base then what it had to start with

Hi Ent

Another point: in the UV bomber attack phase, some interceptions against P-39 fighter-bombers are returning messages of "driven off by defensive fire". Surely this is an error?

LOL not if it is a Head on attack !

<t>HI BK6583<br/>
interesting, I was thinking that yesterday myself<br/>
<br/>
I just started up a IJN side game to see what they were like with the heavy combat losses going on, I moved two Zero units down to Lea after seeing the heavy Fat levels after the first raid on PM, the next day a sweep hit ...

<r>Hi Entemedor<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
I am still using v2.00, should I update to v2.10 and then v.211, or can I jump directly to v.211? <br/>
<br/>
Thanks for any hint!<br/>
<br/>
I think you got bypassed <E>:(</E><br/>
<br/>
over all I think you get the 2.10 first and then the 2.11 the 2nd one fixes a ...

<t>Hi Yamamoto<br/>
yes that is the point I was trying to make, in real life, you gamble or push, and people die, or more people die then should normally die, in game, it is a gamble, it works great, it don't, you can replay the turn or give up and start up a new war<br/>
<br/>
in my new game, had a ...

opps, never could spell right

<t>Hi PBYpilot<br/>
<br/>
< please take a look at the numbers. Does the new air combat systems produce long term results that are in the same range as the original campaign? ><br/>
<br/>
how can you expect the same results as the real thing ?, we do not play the game as the real people "played" the ...

<t>Only if they are following another TF, needs both<br/>
<br/>
ahhh that may of been it, I had been following a Transport TF, but it left the area just as the IJN CV's came down, and I had to rush my CV's back to the area, so forgot to have them follow anybody (in this case it worked out okay)<br ...

<r>Hi guys<br/>
I think the new patch looks great, Air to Air combat looked very good, bloody to both sides, and if you send in bombers with no fighters, don't expect many bombers back<br/>
<br/>
wasn't able to see much of the Ship to Ship combat, the few I had were screw up battles<br/>
<br/>
ahhh ...

<t>Hi Pawlock<br/>
<br/>
Capital ships like Cv's and BB's witjout an escort. So if had no DD's available and ready at said ports then chances are no Capital ship committal. Now perhaps if you had sent those DD's back a few weeks before in order for them to be used as Escorts for Capital ships later ...

<t>Hi Mogami<br/>
LOL, would agree with you in the play world, but in real life ?, no way, a military commander never believed he has enough "stuff"<br/>
<br/>
but I would like to send my list of needed "stuff" to PH and have them send me what I want<br/>
<br/>
oh well, we got to play the game the ...

<t>Hi Mogami<br/>
lets see, should be in Dec of 42, the game is the Aug 42 to Dec 43 one<br/>
<br/>
I had a number of damaged ships sitting in port, knew that my BB was hurt bad, so waited to send them back, as I was waiting on the CVE's to be ready, so was hopeing to get a big drop in ship points ...

<t>Hi Mogami<br/>
I agree with what you say, but, I was at MOD before I sent the ships back to PH (along with a number of DD's and AP's) <br/>
<br/>
PH sent me back 2 TK's and the replacement level dropped to LOW<br/>
<br/>
so I don't see how my on map level got higher then what was needed<br/>
<br ...

<t>Hi Pawlock<br/>
<br/>
<To keep a Capital ship in theatre with over 20 sys damage when there are Capital ships available in Pearl/Japan is mad IMHO. Over 20 damage and again IMHO they are next to useless, eg will certainly not perform well in battle, and offer the enemy an easier target to hit ...

HI Samurai

sorry, have not seen this during any of my games, so can't really tell what is going on, only reason I offered a guess was seeing the Alf listed, if it is CAP units loseing planes and pilots, then I can not begin to think what is wrong

HARD_Sarge

<t>Hi Gang<br/>
<br/>
<Some of my Alf/Zero pilots><br/>
<br/>
well, from the way the post is written, I would say you may be loseing Reconbirds that got damaged over the target and then are flying back to base later<br/>
<br/>
I think the pointer jumps to the base they took off from when they don't ...

<t>Hi Niki<br/>
well again, 2.0 patch, but old OB, I have not seen much action in the air at all, which lets see, I took some notes, in my game patch came out about 11-15-42, had a save at 11-22-42, so started up a new save to keep that one, once a month had gone by, could look at the numbers<br ...

<t>Hi Niki<br/>
well from my battle, as I said, it was with the patch, but with the last OB, so the armor rateing may be off (FOW is on)<br/>
<br/>
I attacked a BB TF, with had the Kirishima and the Naguto (?)<br/>

1 1000 bomb hit on the Kirishima and I could swear it said deck armor hit, and ...
