Sneer vs Raver , Banzaiiii!!!!

[Sneer]

i did not give you a hint about engines - wrong assumption
i have engines for 2 months what is reasonable
but
i have 220k armament points - looks like it is mostly ok till end of war  - no new types of guns expected
similar with vehicles points -15k - i will get no new tank types
also 700k + of HI points which is half done industrial job
so Andy
nothing is wrong
and you are too fast in writing

[Andy Mac]

They do say assumption is the mother of all fuck ups !!!!
 
[:D][:D] - 2 months is fine I picked a bad example
 
I do still believe that the economy is imprecisely modelled to some extent. If you want to train pilots then use the training command and do it in the rear areas why cant you ? If zp is 40 or 50 then you should be able to get them to 50 or 60 in a month or two of training ?

[Andy Mac]

Unless of course you are forward deployingt all airgroups and not retaining some in Japan as training schools ?

[Sneer]

japan is adequately secured by fighter force

Which means that I will have a target rich enviroment [8D]

but in 2h 44 i want to stockpile engines to reach at least 6 month production level

even with dei all lost have oil and resources for ap 4+ months and another 5 month in HI points - will be more soon as I add ap 150k HI points per month
and i think i can keep this surplus for next 3 months

so 10 months of max production is already guaranteed - I prepared myself to situation when Raverdave concentrate on southern route and started savings many many months ago

with some savings as not everything is really as needed i think i can have additional 3-4 months
so looks like I'm impregnable on Raverdave's tactics of taking DEI in major thrust

without HI bombed to ruins i think i will have no fear even in the beginning of  45
and everything looks like pacific route is abandoned by my mighty opponent due to severe losses in early 43
honestly speaking it is also more heavily guarded as troops are already flowing out of china and east india to perimeter so i could free my reserves as they will be replaced within weeks

many of last lost fighters were old ones
zero reserves , 3a reserves are still high - zeke is used only marginally - jacks are plentifull and georges are already in best units
same story for tojo and tony - still well over 2k in reserve - should be ok till frank arrives

[Andy Mac]

Yeah but you aint seen devastation like what B29's can perform....
 
Supply Oil Resources they will destroy the lot---- having a stovckpile in the HI aint enough !!!! you need to be able to keep it
 
I face a similar game in my game v PZB and I am sure I will against Pauk as well and all my games actually but I am confident in the ability of my heavies to reduce those stockpile quickly when in range !!!

[Sneer]

from what i know you can't destroy stockiled oil and resources - i have never seen it - you can destroy facilities not sockpiles  but maybe i'm wrong
but still HI points can't be hit

Bah! Nothing more than a war criminal...[:'(]... is there no more honesty and Bushido code?[;)][:D]

[Sneer]

with hundreds of bombers every day hitting my bases i'm getting used to the thought that soon everything will be in ruins ....
i don't need to wait for B29

[Raverdave]

A lot sooner than you think...................now if I could only get a toe hold on Timor.

[Sneer]

again all birds died in cap fire
but i found surface group with little cover and cornwall CA got 1 torp -
i decided to research shinden heavily - some factories are converted - maybe i will see them in combat 2 months ealrier and i will see some allied planes shot down

[Raverdave]

Sneer is busy so no new posts.

[Capt. Harlock]

Both Sneer and Luskan are offline?? Of all the rotten luck . . .

[Raverdave]

Well it turns out that ratbrain (that is the yellow one) was online but failed to notice the turn sitting in his Inbox [:-].  I think that Sneer is busy with his house move (or being ordered around by his GF Mk1)[;)]

[Sneer]

i was busy at work
back to war now

[Raverdave]

And war it is.......you will not have long to wait now before the invasion starts.  [8D]

[Sneer]

what means that Raverdave's carriers are already upgraded

[Sneer]

12/21/43
according to Raverdave invasion is close
such info was given many months ago but this time i'm close to belive in it
time to meet allied stick - let's hope it will break on my defences
unofficial info is that allied CV are mostly refitted and it opens few possibilities especially  geographically

there are little places where there are multiple bases so there are little places where i can do anything against ubercap
last few months proved that to break 150-200cap i will need coordinated strike at least 2 times as big and to break cap with significant amount of bombers i would need 3 times as high numbers - i have never seen coordinated 500+ LBA strike against naval target so this is sth i can forget about
by the time enemy reaches PI there will be no chance to hurt him.
looks like times come where good day will be sinking allied DD or MSW
My navy even after damaging of  fleet carriers is is in very good shape - almost no losses in 43 beside few DDs and some small cruisers
pity there will be little use of them.
enemy's communication lines close to map edges so little chance to do any harm - his supply stream flows slower but there is no way to interrupt - pacific is too big - i think it is smart idea. Raverdave is very methodical opponent - no rush in offensive movements.
I think would like to serve under such command / with one exception - air force /
soon 44........

Well Except if you collapse in India, I still think you will be able to drag it out till the bitter end ( past 1945... ) This is victory already...
