I thought that aerial torpedoes only worked during the Pearl Harbor attack. If they are allowed to work in any port, then this Game is still buggered up beyond belief...
From the AAR's I read the game is buggered up beyond belief whether torpedoes are allowed against ports or not!
Civil war? What does that mean? Is there any foreign war? Isn't every war fought between men, between brothers?
Well done Sneer, I think you can go on a bit of R&R now...
The issue of aerial torpedoes used in ports was discussed in great detail several times in the past. I was under the impression that the decision had been to only allow them in the initial PH attack, similar to the use of "ship buster" bombs by the Japanese. If that isn't correct, then that changes another aspect of the Allied defensive strategy once again.

I've been under the impression that Don and Gang have been working to remove the buggered up portions of the game. One hopes that this one is on their list.
N.Carolina was all the time in the port - as far as aerial torps - i think that during port attack each torp group has 25% chance to use torpedos - sb wrote this long time ago - so sometimes there are no torps and sometimes they are - if so why tarent attack was possible ????
there is no single reason why so small (4) port should have nets
i think it is ok as some port on pacific isl were atolls with quite a big lagunas inside so i don't see a problem and it is not bugged to me - often ports were nothing more as big anchorages with basic instalations - and lvl 4 port is sth like this - just think about it
BTW ship was already heavy damaged and on fire after my 2 bombardment runs- it is hard to see if torp were decisive - Maybe Raverdave can put a bit of light on it (She scored 50+ hits during bombardment so at least few of them were heavy caliber (14" and 16"/all 5 BB expanded all ammo this night and 2 on the other/+ quite a lot of 8" +few bomb hits) +15 bomb hits later too
no game is not bugged in this place - it is good compromise - otherwise they would be forced to hardcode every port in game wheather torps can or can not be used - I doubt anybody is able to do such research
it is not bigger simplification than ability to bombard airfield on 60 miles hex all the time - you could say that it was not possible in many times - developers had to choose how to solve it - again the only alternative was to hardcode every coastal airfield.
gentleman - it is game - there is 25% for torp port attack - sometimes you have it and sometimes not - i have seen many PH attack with NO single torp used and it is bug to me but it is how this 25% really works
just relax on that
Btw, Poland is going to loose todays football match against Croatia
looks like Poland won this game
I'm sorry Pauk but even if our team is weak as always your team must have been in extremly bad condition
1:0 Poland vs Croatia [:D][:D][:D]
hip hip hurrahhhhhhh!
"as far as aerial torps - i think that during port attack each torp group has 25% chance to use torpedos - sb wrote this long time ago - so sometimes there are no torps and sometimes they are - if so why tarent attack was possible"
Okay, I didn't remember the "25%" part. I understand where the compromise is coming from, although I have a different mental image of the meaning of "Port Level" - that being a level 1 is essentially an open anchorage while a Level 3 and above have docks, torpedo nets, integral AA, etc., with the amount increasing as the size increases. So I guess it's up to Don and Gang as to how they want to implement the interpretations.
Oh well, at least I got my misconception corrected painlessly (to me that is...)

hey, we were hiding our strategy for the World cup[;)]
Excuse me, you should say: Banzai! (there is nothing more that i hate in the game than this ugly battle call hip, hip hurrahhhh!)
Keep your eyes open.....the air war in India is about to start to hot up. I've decided to start putting some pressure on Sneer's airfarce and India seems to be the best place to do so.
I'm still chuffed to the back teeth that the RN CVs made a clean get-away from that fcuk-up at Pago-fcuking-Pago. Yorktown is just about back at full strength, but there are bugger all other CVs for her to steam with. [:(] Meantime I am continuing with my slow crawl up the Solomans and also towards Timor. Ground strength is also starting at gather in India[:)]
Never argue with an idiot, he will only drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.
so we had declaration of new fronts from Raver - they are no surprise to me - looks like sth i call " dirty war " starts now

boring turn - looks like tension is down for a while....
"magic"KB once again moved within Pago Pago and sunk retreating
CL Richmond with assisting 2 DD 3rd one should reach nowhere
Amboina once again bombed by 170+ B17
somewhere in the mid Feb 43
new PC type ships are available
ASW 7 rating and DC type 2 make a huge diffrence in Hunter killer groups
now i see they can at least force sub to changing place - but maybe if i get more of them i will even have a kill
Raverdave moved his subs to intercept my cripples and KB main body to communication lines but all i can say - he maybe dissapointed as I don't need to go to Japan to rearm and take new crews
There is other way for him as a strike on PNG and Timor - I decided to move my pacific reserves to southern DEI - without BB component i can't see Raverdave attacking fortified atolls - even so there is enough naval bombers to hit his low cap- i think I have even too much in southern DEI at that moment and I don't see him achieving much without exposing rest of his fleet in any operation there
two of my damaged carriers already in Japan in shipyard.
quite a lot of action
enemy barge TF hit by surface TF again
my hunter killer group hit hard SS sunfish today
I'm very dissapointed by Chungking assault
i'd like to have sb who captured chungking reading this post
there was sth like 35 big inf units fully preped with adequate support + art and tanks
Chungking is being bombed for months
it is only base left to allied
54 units inside
4x for urban hex
lvl3 forts
there is free 300 supplies per turn given to them
I massed sth like 11k assault points plus 1000 tanks
again attack was a disaster
30% of assault ability lost
enemy have no heavy weapon
i brought sth like 3k of engineers to this attack
i can't destroy forts !!!!!!!!!!!!
if anybody has any ideas what to do i will gladly read
BTW KB is almost ready again for action - planes on fleet carriers are almost all replenished

seems to me to bring down the forts you'll need to shock... And then bombard for a weeks, and then Shock again...And it will be horribly deadly...
The outcome of the assault on Chungking is ridicoulos. And it again reminds me that ground combat in this game is the worst of all the different combat types. If this is nearly realistic then the 6th German Army would still be in Stalingrad!
You might have to shock attack more often leaving your arty always in the hex and rotating INF, ENG and ARM so that you can do 2 Shock attacks in a row... Disruption should be high enough for the Chinese that you can bring down the fort on the second attack... Maybe Shock with your low quality units the first day and keep you elite Divs, Engs and Arm for the second attack ?
From my limited experience you really need to take advantage of the disruption.. otherwise you can repeat the slow routine for ever to no avail...
And how is the airfield ? You say they get 300 supply points for free, if you were to bombard the airfield, would they use it to repair ?
I keep airfield bombed so it is not lower than 70%
if it goes down i bomb again and force repairing
more doesn't have much sense as he is relatively low on supply so it is probably distributed to units with little to no supply left in base
next try in sth like 10-15 days - ap this amount of time is needed to have readiness back
did I mention that almost all of my troops are elite 95+ exp ?
doesn't seem to have influence
what is weird - almost no losses to defenders
non existing artillery barrage or what else caused my casualties???
with 50+ units bombardment can disrupt only 3-5 units from the top only
did they use bamboo sticks to destroy / damage almost 1000 of my guns ????? 15% of all guns used are out of action
how the hell it is possible to loose 1000 guns in such battle - among them is field artillery that stay few miles behind lines
frustration is not the best word describing ground combat model in this game but it is a word heading in good direction
