You lose two CVs and a DD and you think that's somehow not within the realm of possibility?

Not in any game that I intend to play......

ORIGINAL: Canoerebel
And your point is?

That reading is not one of your strengths.......

<t> How can you continue play a game where something like this is can happen? These super subs, after finishing of two CV's, turned on and sank an escorting DD. MOI=WWI<br/>

According to my source maps, the road connecting Mersing to the Malayan West coast is correct.

That would mean you messed up on the CHS map.[X(]<br/>

Not sure I understand the problem re Force Z. It has to be a non-historical game for Japan to play for Mersing on turn 1; are there really Japanese players out there who start a non-historical game and try to insist that the allied player can't ...

It is highly gamey to land at Mersing on Turn One. The Japanese player must, with any realism at all, start at least 8-10 hexes away. British Recon would have picked them up as they did the other TF moving into the area and responded.

<t> The Mershing road exploit (for lack of a better word for now). Missing from WITP stock, or CHS (Brown) is the ability to cut the Malay peninsula in half and prevent an orderly retreat of the Commonwealth troops to Singapore. In AE (Brown) JFB's can land en masse at Mershing, then send a couple ...

And your opinion is welcome but I recall several U-Boat intercepts in mid-ocean and they are a bit slower than surface ships. Speaking in absolute terms does a disservice to everyone.

Yes, it works too well. Too many sucessful mid ocean intercepts. I am beginning to wonder if the real purpose of my carriers is to load them up with fighters to protect my surface forces......[&:]

Any of you 5-star posters ...

I have not seen an intercept when I set a destination hex. Instead of setting the destination, what you want to do is set the place you want to go to as the first boundry of your patrol zone. No need to set other boundries, just that one will do ...

I've been doing some testing of this for an upcoming video tutorial and I've not had many problems - this doesn't mean that it always works as intended - and I prefer it that way too ... 100% intercept might be overkill

And subs won't re-torp even with a sub tender in the port.

Also keep in mind that just because it was classified as a "dive-bomber" in WitP does not mean it was a "dive-bomber"... [;)]

Land based, yes...
Ship based, no...

This seems to be the best way to go.

Hmmm. Figures. This is AE.

Let us know when you find that link!

I use 10,000 feet and they dive bomb the target but good.

ORIGINAL: jeffs
So what altititude should I set them at to actually Dive Bomb?[X(]

The short answer is: any.

ORIGINAL: witpqs

They mine the hex with one or more subs. I think it's even built into the AI first move.

Enough to sink or severly damage a dozen subs? Anyway, that's new. Good to know.

<t> I just opened up the Editor for the first time. An impressive piece of software if ever I have seen such. <br/>

I'll rely on your expertise: is it possible with the editor to place offensive mines at an enemy base? Same game. Dec 8th, my subs fleeing Manila hit a super massive IJ ...

Not so according to Mr. Herwin. Personally, I have never even opened up the editor, so I couldn't say. (Player here, not a modder.....)

My opponent at first played dumb. And now may have disappeared......

<QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: herwin<br/>
Certainly. If you want to play a non-standard opening (i.e., not hit PH with the KB) as the Japanese or if you want to correct the known errors in the initial set-up. It is polite to tell your opponent (perhaps in general terms) what you did.
