the only thing that is happening at the moment are those TFs that moved to PM, which have left again. Completely strange were the ships we´ve spotted. LCIs, ARs and stuff like that... is this a joke or has the AI taken over control of the Allied forces? [&:]

Well, I think we've all been waiting for a game where the IJA has Peggys, Franks, and etc, and the IJN has a KB full of A7M's, D4Ys, and B6Ns, (or maybe B7As depending on game version). When something happens, I'm sure it will be fun.

Well, I think we've all been waiting for a game where the IJA has Peggys, Franks, and etc, and the IJN has a KB full of A7M's, D4Ys, and B6Ns, (or maybe B7As depending on game version). When something happens, I'm sure it will be fun.

if I don´t die due to being bored then we sure will see the IJNAF and IJAAF full of advanced figthers and bombers flown by very high experienced pilots. The Peggy is going online sometime around 10/44 (depending on R&D) but I won´t upgrade all my IJAAF bombers until I have to due to the fact that I can´t use the Peggies on nav search. Why? Because the game has always been broken and level bombers with a default load of a torpedo can´t hit anything with bombs on nav search. And if my opponent will at some point decide to use his subs again, I need the high experienced (bomb equipped) Helens for nav search against Allied subs. And I will use them in mass, just as my opponent did it near Canton, sinking half a dozen subs in two turns (and damaging another half a dozen before I was able to move them out).

Unfortunately, the Reppu won´t be available until mid 45 and this is still a long way to go. That´s the only pity at the moment, we are stuck with the Zeke for our carrier based daitais. High experienced, but they are all flying obsolete aircraft in comparison with the Hellcat, which is the opponent they have to fight. The stats of the Reppu are better than the Hellcat´s, but I guess until then, my opponent will fly Corsairs only on carriers.[:(]

I´m rotating troops in and out to keep them at max combat readiness... if the game won´t again go completely nuts then we should hold out here forever with the Allied having no chance to advance. Swamp hex (3x multiplier) and level 9 forts and 100% prepped. Ample supply of course. But with the ground combat results we have seen the last 6 months it could well mean that our adjusted av will be halfed (for no reason) and the enemy´s will be doubled (also for no reason). It´s just the same BS as with all my fighters getting damaged now when they fly 50% Cap.

It just sucks and the only reason for this must be some hardcoded BS I have never heard before... [:@]

I am surprised this game is still going, given AE, and the extreme Allied losses.

I have a PBEM in 1945; the advanced types are better, but still die 100s at a time on Uber Cap. It takes 1000 planes and at least 2 days to break an Allied CAP umbrella.

I have a PBEM in 1945; the advanced types are better, but still die 100s at a time on Uber Cap. It takes 1000 planes and at least 2 days to break an Allied CAP umbrella.

yeah it is going on. And the title has just recently changed to: "waiting for AE´s third patch" [:D] as I´m not happy with AE as it is now. Many things are not how they should be IMO. But that´s not surprising to me and is not a rant against the devs. It´s as expected, I also didn´t start a WITP PBEM the first months, I guess I was waiting at least half a year to get into PBEM (due to the game not being what I wanted it to be).

If possible, the only Cap I will engage will be carrier based Cap or LRCAP that is covering (invasion) TFs. I won´t get myself into an atrittion war against Allied Cap over bases as there´s no reason for me to do so. Of course there will come the time when I have to put up Cap over my bases and P-38J and P-51s will sweep my bases but I hope to have the Frank available until then. And I´ve got more than a thousand 80+ exp fighter pilots, with radar, decent numbers and the Frank available, such Allied strikes will also result in hundreds of downed first line fighters. One day alone can see two months of Lightning replacements being downed. But of course, I will focus on hurting the Allied Navy, this is what I´ve done in the past and that´s what I´m intending to do in future.

The Allied lack two things: carriers and ground units. And without those two things they can´t bring the war into my territory, at least not in a way (at the moment) that I will be drawn into an atrittion airwar. We will see...

this game is just getting more and more strange... why? Because my opponent is doing "strange" things. And this is not the first time. [&:] Those TFs that were going to PM have been going back and forth in this area without any sense, it seems my opponent wants to lure me into something but that is just lol! Completely lol! Should I think this is an invasion or what? What makes it even more strange is the fact that he moved out all his aircraft from PM and he also is evacuating PM!!!! Tripple LOL! [:D]

Can you imagine that? I´ve noticed Dakota losses (ops) and noticed a big drop in the troop number at PM. This made two things absolutely clear to me: a) he´s flying out troops en masse and b) he uses the gamey way to do it. Cooktown has no ac and Cairns already is too far away to use C-47 to pick up troops from PM. Well, I don´t care anymore about anything, this game is going off the cliff anyway. It´s a stupid tactic to use a bug but it´s even more stupid to evacuate PM. That´s just lol.

And there are so many bases on the map where I can see airbalance numbers that are so off, this tells me he violates airfield stacking hrs on and on. Not just by a couple of dozen ac per base (this is something you won´t see with airbal numbers) but by hundreds ac, mostly doubling the allowed number of ac (this is something you can easily identify with airbal numbers).

voilá, my commando raid takes Perth! We capture the base and seize 100.000+ supplies [:D] and 12.000 fuel. I would have liked it to be the other way but capturing 100.000+ supplies is nice anyway. The supply is needed for the dozen of divisions I have in the Townsville area. I´m constantly shipping in ten thousands of supplies but they just wither away in days. The ground war in Australia is really sucking up a lot of supplies, even though we are only exchanging bombardments with the Allieds.

A single base force could have held the base...

Not really, as there´s not a single base in range of Perth. I only know about the bug that you can pick up troops that are out of range of your transports, but not flying them in.

In this case, it can only be his carelessness. A single base force and a rgt would have been easily enough to make the base safe, I wouldn´t have attacked it anyway. But seeing the base empty was just an invitation for me. I´m still not sure if my opponent thinks I´m a complete noob, with how the game went the last two years+ should have convinced him about the other way around I guess. Surely I´m not an uber player but if an opponent offers me a chance to hurt him, I usually do hurt him.

lol, I would have bet my arse off that this attack will go in. But I would have bet it would have looked different. Those bombers must have come from Townsville or Cairns and both bases are too far away to see Lightnings on escort. So again, it was a really nice idea to evacuate PM. [:D] I´ve moved in 154 Tonies and see 80 in the air. Depressing. Only one radar set at the base but another 10 in two bases just two hexes away and I´ve thought they would add in too. [:(] Nevertheless, it was costly for the attacker and I´m sure they´ve lost some high experienced bomber crews over our base. We didn´t lose a single pilot today but two dozen aircraft were destroyed on the ground.

My biggest concern at the moment is the fact that my fighters get damaged just from flying Cap. And this didn´t happen the first two years of the war so that can´t be mod related. It´s BS... [:@]

the game is getting funny again! [:D] believe it or not (I couldn´t when I discovered), bigbaba left Perth empty. Completely empty! I´ve used Emilies from Broome to recon Perth because I wanted to know if the Allied are possible building up at Perth to mount an offensive out of this base (either going North via rail - expected - or an amphibious assault against Northern Australia - unexpected). What I discovered was just unbelievable. How on earth can he leave the base completely empty? The consequence was that I put three DDs together and sent parts of a nav guard unit down to take the empty base. The DDs arrived today, destroying some mines and then landing my troops. We will take the base tomorrow. [:D] Nice commando raid...

It remains him 1 day to send allied troops to Perth by air transports; strange!!

Not really, as there´s not a single base in range of Perth. I only know about the bug that you can pick up troops that are out of range of your transports, but not flying them in.

Do you speak of the fact that the real transport plane range is not the extended radius but half total radius (which is greater)?
If something else, don't say anything about it please [:)]

transport plane range should be extended range but not total max range (for transfer) of the aircraft. But it isn´t for picking up units... bug that showed up with some of the later patches and never been corrected.
