Pearl_Harbour_The_Movie; flight of B-25's can level half of Tokio. Will lose one of two top fighter pilots who in some scriptic reason are now bomber pilots....

Originally class had 4x25mm AA guns.<br/>

In early 1943 the light AA was increased to 15x25mm. <br/>
After June 1944, this was again increased to 29x25mm and 4x13mm. <br ...

Hmm? Not playing UV? Impossible thought.

I like to use mines in area denial weapon, when I'm playing IJN you can walk from Guadalcanal to Bougainville.

Laws of combat, § 45; Mines are equal opportunity weapons.

Ok, IJN opponent found. Any takers on USN side?

<r>Now, I'm tired of playing that build up period.<br/>
I want hair raising action from first minute onwards.<br/>
So....<br/>

That's it! Thanks Cap. Really don't remember anything else, but one scene....

Now what was it? Some 40's-50's film?
Pink Submarine it was called (I think)
Now, I have only one recollection of this film, and that was when Gary Grant (was it him?) torpedoes a truck. Propably the only working Mk-14 too!

Something without hexes CAN NOT be a good game! Really!

Look what you did!! Now I dropped my walking stick!

But then we would need TRUE replentish ships that can fill up weapon loads and other stores and those are not modelled either.

BTW, should we change the rule on "inherent" ASW values of ports? According to the manual, submarines are prohibited from attacking TFs or ships in harbor if the port value is 3 or more. The ...

<t>I don't know for sure, but for instance, Rabaul and Brisbane seem like ports protected with all kinds of ASW weapons not modeled in game. I mean subnets, gates in those and half a million small patrolcraft armed with searchlight and rifle. These would seriously hamper patrols in hi-value ports ...

I managed to blow up a 5" secundary gun from cruiser with 25mm AA gun once. One of my DD's doing FT-run got little trouble with US bombardement TF. DD lived to tell more seastories with 2 5" holes in it's hull.

Single transports do get spotted, but nobody bothers to attack them. At least not by LBA, TF-Air will, if there is no other target nearby. At least to my experience.
So defended sea-line consept is my way to go in supply of PM as USN or Lunga and Lae as early IJN.

<r>Thank you Apollo, this is starting to get ridiculous:<br/>

<t>It seems to me, that amount of guns firing foward, as well as bomb load, is key when flying at 100ft.<br/>

Beaufighter has 4x20mm Hispano canons and 6x.303 Brownings. B-25J has 8x.50 cals and Havoc's, both A-20 and P-70 versions have 6x.50 cals as do Invaders.<br/>

I heard she sunk in Channel, on Firday.

To root out superstition among sailors, RN named one of their destroyers as Friday. They eaven launched her on Friday the 13th.

Sorry, no save. Played on and over writed with PBEM. I keep my eye's open.

<t>Yes, but having 4000 dead from about 100 planes flying in deck is little steep! After all that means that everyone of those planes (Air-Raid sirens wailing all over the place) Killed 40 men. So in oder to kill a comppany of men you need 3 planes?<br/>

Doesn't sound right!<br/>
