Waiting for 3rd AE patch - bigbaba vs. Castor Troy

ORIGINAL: bigbaba

you should realy talk to paul so he reduces the alt. of his bombers. this 30k ft. bombers with laser guided bombs are simply unrealistic. if paul is a fair opponent, he will accept that.

I don´t want to bring up another issue as the issue about flying out troops from Wyndham with transports that can´t even reach the base was discussion enough and led to nowhere. And I´m now fighting at least three combat divisions that have been flown out to Alice Springs and are now marching North. I will try to find a way to solve the issue. And if it´s just that I will do super high alt kami attacks in 18 months or so...

when playing the scenario a house rule preventing the altitude exploit is suggested. (in the FAQ)

yeah, I remember reading it now... been over a year since I´ve last read the FAQ. First I didn´t think it would be an issue becauses seriously, how should a bomber formation hit an airfield from 36.000ft? It´s not much of a problem to overfly effective flak range (or completely overflying flak range), it´s more of a problem when the game goes nuts and 4Es hit an airfield from 36.000ft disabling 2000 troops in one turn and destroying 10.000 supplies. THAT is nuts...

coupled with the uber effect of the pretty high durability of 4Es in this version results in 400 bombers launched, non is hit by flak, 400 hits on the airfield and 1 bomber lost...[:(]

Yeah, I'm playing against AI as the Allies with a Nik-mod like variation, and I can say it certainly makes things a lot easier for the allies. Early on in the war at least, any base is utterly vulnerable to B-17's. Even raids of only less than 30 bombers, no escort, get through about 90 zeros at Truk, and destroy 25 or so aircraft on the ground from 15k+.

I bombed down Kwajalein from Wake Is. and the AI's poor performance not withstanding, the 3 IJN base forces there should have been able to better defend the base and fewer aircraft should have been destroyed by relatively small raids.

No matter how you look at it, flak and bomber adjustments are just plain excessive. ---I can only imagine the strength of massed B-29's ugh.

I don´t want to think about B-29s at the moment, that´s just plain scary. Dropping four times the bombs of a B-17 and you can imagine what damage they will do from 30.000ft when there are 200 of them incoming. Won´t be any chance to defend a target within the 20 hexes of a B-29 base. I will have Franks by then and radar but I don´t have any hopes I can withstand the B-29 raids as it´s just not possible to cover every important base within B-29 range with 400 Franks each. And as the enemy probably won´t be in range of Japan by then, I´m pretty sure that the B-29s will do massive tactical attacks on airfields. With the huge numbers available I guess there won´t be any Allied medium bombers left or at least there won´t be a reason to use medium bombers anymore as the 4Es and the super heavy 4Es will nuke everything with stratosphere bombing anyway.

Again, I don´t have a real problem with overflying flak range, the problem is the absolutely off hit rate of high exp bombers. Weakness of the game. And I have to say it´s even a bit better than in Nikmod because Nik has reduced the bombload of some bombers, so in stock the hit rate would be even higher and I would suffer 3000 casualties in one turn from stratosphere bombing for one or two bombers lost out of 400.

Miller moved in his Russian bombers and I missed to look at my TK convoy that left Ohka Sakkalin exactly today, leaving into the wrong direction... leaking Cap from the base was enough to turn some bombers back and we were lucky that 60+ bombers only achieve 3 bomb hits that won´t sink any of the two hit ships... again, this convinces me of finishing off the bases in central Russian held territory and as the development is at the moment, I´m confident that we can achieve that soon...

The nuclear bombings out of the stratosphere that caused several thousand casualties each turn forced me to move out all my troops from Charter Towers. Only the para rgt was left behind and Miller tried to take advantage of this, dropping his paras on the base. I´m amazed that only one USMC para unit was dropped and not three or four at once. I guess he should have enough of them (don´t know where they are though) and he surely has easily enough C-47 in the area as he was able to lift a whole inf division to Townsville in one turn.

Screenshot of the situation in Russia. Irkutsk is isolated in the North as only base left there. The Russian probably have 3000+ av there already, further growing as the enemy divs are rebuilding. As soon as we have mopped up the two bases North of Khabarovsk we will have succesfully ended our attack on the central regions. Blagoveshchensk and Iman will be starvet to death. Perhaps we will take out Iman to free up the divs there but the hex being moutaineous terrain this would just take too much time and too many troops. Blagoveshchensk is the optimal training target for the years to come. There are three bases in one hex range that can house something like 1000 ac and it can´t be any better. One hex range is perfect, two hexes range would result in too many op losses already.

I´m not sure if we will ever be able to take out Irkutsk as it stands now. We will see if we can knock down the forts there with something like 15 or 16 eng rgts. If not, we will retreat and only hold the position against the enemy trying to come down from the North at some point.

One Allied mine is easily enough for a Japanese AK and two send it immedietely to the bottom... guess it takes at least four IJN mines to sink an Allied AK though...

Probably another stupid Q, but I'll ask anyway. Why not make a MSW-TF and set the transporters on follow? Would not this atleast make it possible that the MSWs would make a path through the field before the transports arrive?

there are no stupid questions, only stupid answers sometimes lately...

if I would have known that there are mines I would have sent a MSW TF first, after one turn all mines would have been cleared and then the AKs would go in. Problem was, I didn´t know that an (or a couple) of Allied subs laid mines here. [;)]

90% of the Allied sorties can be seen as training runs at the moment... what really pisses me off is the fact that the Allied fighters in the Pacific take 0.001% op losses doing daily training runs at 5 and 6 hexes, which means at MAX range for those fighters.

once again a prove of not being carefully enough. I know about the enemy bombers at Port Moresby and sent some APs to Gasmata without having fighters there to cover them. Result is an unescorted strike that shreds my TF. One AP goes down immedietely, another one will probably sink. Nearly 50% hit rate with 500lb bombs means those Barracudas are damned experienced already...

this time the sub succesfully attacks first, the DD is hit hard. In return the sub is reported SUNK after two direct hits with Type 95 DCs... our DD will be disbanded into Tarakan´s level 4 port, an AR was ordered to move in flank speed and we will also bring in a nav HQ to try to save the precious DD. Won´t be easy with 65 flt and still 20+ fire... trading a DD for a sub would be a bad deal as the Allied have far more subs than I have DDs...

nearly a 1:1, our main problem will be the Allied super ability to create a Maginot line like position out of a foxhole within one week. When looking at the combat replay and the troops that are at Townsville then I guess it won´t take longer than 7-10 days to build up the forts from 8 to 9...

this means that this ability will stop us... easy as it is...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sub attack near Siador at 54,85

Japanese Ships
AK Indus Maru, Torpedo hits 1, on fire

Allied Ships
SS Gunnel

I prove to be dumb again... Gunnel has been spotted for at least three days sitting at this base and I thought I would have to be unlucky if it really gets a shot at the two small AKs coming in to bring some supplies... guess the chances to attack for an Allied sub at this stage of the war are at least 70%. Got a Kate daitai on nav search here but so far nothing...

looks like the Allied sub offensive´s really get going at the moment... Runner hits the AR that was sent flank speed towards Tarakan to help saving the DD that was earlier hit by a sub... only one out of six torps hit and the AR made Tarakan port easily... will live on and end up with something like 40 sys damage... a nav HQ is also on the way to help the DD...

on Borneo´s West coast another succesful sub attack... have increased the numbers of escorts for my important TFs from 6 to 8 but that didn´t help either... The big TK isn´t in danger of sinking though, will be disbanded in Soerabaja´s port 9 in two turns...

IJN ASW forces sank the US sub SS Triton near Borneo´s West coast today. BANZAI! BANZAI! BANZAI!

Triton (SS 201)

The fourth of our submarines lost in the Solomons-Bismarck area in the early part of 1943, Triton, commanded by Lieutenant Commander G. K. MacKenzie, Jr., left Brisbane on 16 February 1943 to begin her sixth patrol in that area. She hunted for traffic between Rabaul and Shortland Basin on her way north, and began to patrol the equator between 154°E, and 156°E, on 23 February.

She reported on 26 February having seen smoke on 22 February, and that she had obtained evidence of enemy radar on Buka. Moving westward, she patrolled areas northwest of Snapper and southeast of Trigger from 26 February to 6 March, when she left her area to attack a convoy in Trigger's area. Her report on 7 March, amended by another 8 March, stated that the convoy had been composed of 5 ships and 1 Destroyer escort. She reported their speed and course and the fact that she had sunk two cargo ships of the convoy and damaged another, claiming 3 hits out of 6 torpedoes fired at noon 6 March. A circular torpedo run forced her deep, where she was depth-charged by the destroyer. She had later tried two night attacks, one dawn attack, and one afternoon attack, all without success, and was returning to her area at the time she sent the message. About eight hours after this message came, Triton transmitted another telling of another night attack on the convoy. She claimed 5 hits of 8 torpedoes fired, and, although she could not observe results due to gunfire and attack by the escorting destroyer, she believed two more freighters to be sunk.

The last word received from Triton came on 11 March 1943 when she reported, "Two groups of smokes, 5 or more ships each, plus escorts. . . Am chasing". She was ordered to stay south of the Equator, and was informed of the area (an adjacent one) assigned Trigger.

On the morning of 13 March Triton was told that three enemy destroyers had been sighted at 2°-00'S, 145° -44'E on a northerly course. She was informed that they were probably on a submarine hunt or were a convoy cover and had missed contact.

Triton, on 16 March, was ordered to change her area slightly to the east. Tuna and Greenling were placed in adjacent areas (to the south and west, respectively) on 22 March, and all were to disregard areas when on the chase, and to avoid when encountering a submarine. Triton was told to clear her area on 25 March 1943, and return to Brisbane. When she failed to make her report of position, new results, and estimated time of arrival when it was expected, she was ordered to do so. No report was received and she was reported as lost on 10 April 1943.

Information available now that the war is over shows that Triton was, without a doubt, sunk by the enemy destroyers of which she was given information on 13 March. Enemy reports show that these ships made an attack on 15 March at 0°-09'N, 144°-55'E. This position was slightly north and west of Triton's area, but she undoubtedly left her area to attack the destroyers or the convoy they were escorting. The report of the attack the destroyers leaves little doubt as to whether a kill was made, since they saw "a great quantity of oil, pieces of wood, corks and manufactured goods bearing e mark 'Made in U.S. A'." In addition, Trigger, in whose area this attack occurred, reported that on 15 March she made two attacks on a convoy of five freighters with two escorts at 0°N, 145° E. At this time she was depth charged, but not seriously, and she heard distant depth charging for an hour after the escorts had stopped attacking her. Since she was only about ten miles from the reported Japanese attack cited above, it presumed that she heard the attack which sank Triton. Apparently by this time the destroyers had joined their convoy.

Triton was a most active and valuable member of the Submarine Force prior to her loss. In total, she is credited with sinking 16 ships, totaling 64,600 tons, and damaging 4 ships, of 29,200 total tons. Her first patrol, conducted around Wake Island, resulted in no damage to the enemy, but her second, in the northern part of the East China Sea, was very productive. In ten days she sank two freighters and damaged a freighter-transport and another freighter. She went back to the East China Sea for her third patrol, and again was most successful. She sank a trawler, two freighters, a freighter-transport, two sampans, and a submarine. The latter was 1-64, torpedoed south of Kyushu on 17 May, 1942. Triton's fourth patrol was made in the Aleutians. During it, she is credited with sinking two escort-type vessels.

On her fifth patrol, Triton went into the Solomon area. She sank a tanker, and two freighters, in addition damaging a tanker of 10,200 tons and a freighter. She was credited with having sunk two medium freighters on her last patrol.

some nice flak losses today but Miller has made it easy for us, attacking with fighters a base that has half a dozen AA units. Imagine if I would do that --> loss rate 60%+...

Japanese Ships
SS I-39

Allied Ships
AK John Bartram, Torpedo hits 2, on fire, heavy damage

near Townsville, a troop convoy is attacked, the medium sized AK should be sunk... only two escorts, looks like an emergency TF set up to bring more troops to Townsville to defend the base against my assault...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ground combat at Townsville

Japanese Deliberate attack

Attacking force 247667 troops, 2577 guns, 23 vehicles, Assault Value = 4962

Defending force 95613 troops, 660 guns, 451 vehicles, Assault Value = 1641

Japanese engineers reduce fortifications to 8

Japanese max assault: 4904 - adjusted assault: 2113

Allied max defense: 1638 - adjusted defense: 1738

Japanese Assault reduces fortifications to 8

Japanese ground losses:
3578 casualties reported

Allied ground losses:
2665 casualties reported
Guns lost 66

that doesn´t look too bad, but the forts were already at 9 again... what can I say, when I will attack the next time, the forts will again be at 9. Means the base is impossible to take. Maginot line, boom, kaput, Allied engineers, one week --> new Maginot line...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ground combat at Khomsomalsk

Japanese Deliberate attack

Attacking force 44663 troops, 503 guns, 14 vehicles, Assault Value = 1287

Japanese max assault: 881 - adjusted assault: 540

Allied max defense: 89 - adjusted defense: 1213 [X(][X(][X(]

Japanese assault odds: 0 to 1 (fort level 6)

Japanese ground losses:
92 casualties reported
Guns lost 9
Vehicles lost 1

Allied ground losses:
78 casualties reported
Vehicles lost 1

so what about that? This is the perfect example of what I´m saying all the time: Try to defend with your troops in the mountains. Only an urban hex is better. There are five units reported with one unit obviously being a HQ as it didn´t show up in the combat replay. Two of the four remaining units didn´t have any assault value, only two defending base forces seem to have something like 40 av. This coupled with the mountain hex and level 6 forts lead to an adjusted av of 1213!!! Not bad if your base av gets multiplied by 13.62. That way two base forces can easily hold against four attacking IJA divisions.
