Jap Command Structures 12/41 OOB

Post by PzB74 »

Found a few nice threads with Allied command structures, has anyone made similar for Japan?

Been trying to familiarize myself with the OOB for 12/41 and is currently examining the dispositions of the Southern Army. Gaawd it's messy [8|]

Would this command structure for Southern Army be correct?

A bit in doubt as to the hierarchy and organization of the air divisions and fleet.
21st, 22nd and 23rd Air Fleets are under 11th Air Fleet but all ac are placed in the 3rd and 5th Air Divs(some Sonias and transports are also attached directly to the Southern Army HQ).

How is this air fleet command structure meant to function in practice?
Also, when I want to view air units of e.g. 3rd Air Div I have to click on one of the units attached to the HQ and click on "3rd Air Div" groups. Shouldn't there be such a button on the HQ's as well? It's causing me some strain [;)]

Er, what? The IJN aircraft are attached to their correct Air Flotillas, as far as I know (21st through 23rd).

I'm not certain but wouldn't the Combined Fleet be the top most HQ for the IJN and the Southern Area Army the top for the IJA?

I can't imagine Combined Fleet reporting to the Southern Area Army. Yamamoto would commit hara-kiri first......[:D]

Yep, found them [:'(] Got a bit blue eyed from looking and clicking.
- If there was a button on each Air HQ to display the air groups.... [&o]

Also a bit confused by the way the Fleets were organized Mynok, pretty sure the experts will enlighten us [:)]

Evidently... [:D] but nonetheless a bit of track!

So can no one confirm whether the Navy HQ's really should be subordinated Southern HQ or not?

Thx ckammp! Didn't quite see how that could be as it was, but then again my eyes have crossed double trying to examine the Jap OOB before [;)]

Will a fix be made for this in the next patch Term?

Have you considered creating a HQ overview map in AE were it's possible to click your way up and down HQs and also be able to pull unit / group overviews from them? Think this would be a simple and great feature for a future patch!
