RE: Port Moresby Captured

Post by kfmiller41 »

Quick question if i may. I notice that there are many many small attacks on the same targets every turn. In the original game you would get alot fewer attacks but alot more planes. I am assuming this is a change to the way air attacks are done now (not nearly the coordination there was before). Is that the way it is now and if it is that is a good thing IMHO[&o] Harder to beat down an enemy base without more preperation.
You have the ability to arouse various emotions in me: please select carefully.

oops I ordered the invasion TF to follow itself so 3 days lost....

I can fix that - otherwise the TF will go blind.

I'm not sure I've seen any aborted air attacks or unable to find target reports. It seems air attacks happen even in storms and other poor weather conditions.

Indeed, I have never seen aborted attacks in vanilla WitP either, they just show during the turn processing.

By the way, I'd stop using those Vengeance dive bombers against enemy bases. Dive bombers take quite big losses from flak (historical) in missions like that. In South Pacific, Allies accepted the attrition and used also one-engine tactical bombers (Dauntless, Avenger etc.) for that mission, but it was more advisable to attack bases with medium and heavy bombers that can take it.

unable to find target strikes never showed up in the combat report in WITP, so probably they don´t do in AE either... no combat, no combat report...

Edit: oops, Andy already gave the answer... but it is at least the same. [;)]

Hi,

Can anyone in the Naval Team confirm or deny whether subs can launch a partial salvo against ships now or do they still always fire a full salvo every time?

Thanks,

I think they can, I think I have seen Combat Reports from AE posted here that shows like:

"USS/IJN XXX launches X torpedoes". Which would indicate less than full salvo. Probably would be related to hits achieved.

Not really big issue for me, but intriguing.
