we have spotted one big TF sitting in a hex 360 miles South of Perth. The shown position of the TF in the hex told me that there are several TFs in the hex and therefore I sent in this sub to investigate the situation. The result was an ASW attack but the sub got away unharmed which was quite surprising...

several TFs South of Perth? Something going on?

the enemy TFs are still in the same hex and I also kept my sub there as I wanted to have more info what is going on there. No sub sightings by Allied float or carrier based aircraft so I guess there aren´t any carriers or other capitol ships. Don´t know why there are several big Allied TFs being parked South of Perth. Waiting for other TFs to go North for an invasion? Reinforcing India? Or coming from India (but why parking them there then?). Not sure yet what to think about it. One medium sized AK takes a torp and my sub evaded all attacks. Nice one. No troops aboard and no APs spotted yet.

this is what is making me so upset all the time. The Chinese Armies are completely trash as they are now, they have less av, less heavy weapons, nearly no supply (or are completely out of supply) and must have a morale that has to be in the range between 0 and 1 on average. [8|] And they still get wonderful adjusted avs ALL the time. In this case they get a completely ridicoulos adjusted av that is a trippled base av. LOL, how stupid is it when I get my av halved while being fully supplied and sitting behind level 9 forts or sitting in an urban hex like Chungking?

I´m repeating myself. Anyway, the ground combat model is BS and nothing proves it more than this ongoing ground war against Chinese hordes that should be nearly completely useless...

the enemy is bombing my stack in the mountains one hex South of Chungking. The enemy has started to move something like a dozen units out of Chungking to the West, reinforcing the all mighty Chinese Army at Kweiyang. Guess in two weeks we will face 4000+ out of supply av in Kweiyang that will then shock attack us out of the hex again...

so what about this result? If you carefully look at your combat reports you will get a lot of intel all the time. In this case it clearly tells me one fact: those Chinese troops have nearly no supply or are already completely out of supply. Last turn there were 130k troops and 230 guns defending the hex and now only 54k are bombarding with 174 guns. So far so good, but they don´t cause any casualties while they take damage from counterfire. Those troops at Kweiyang are absolutely combat ineffective (sorry, that´s what they SHOULD be) but they still got an adjusted av ov 7.000+ against my attack yesterday. How stupid... how stupid...

The good news of the day is once again announced by our aircraft R&D. The Frank has been advanced by one month again, now due to 6/44. With nearly 600 factories in R&D I expect this advanced IJAAF fighter going online in 5/44. Would be three months earlier than the default date and one month earlier I had initially expected it. That´s very good news... but else there´s not much to report...

huge strike out of Townsville (one hex range). Don´t know what I should say about the ground casualties, perhaps should I mention that we are sitting behind level 9 forts? This is something that never really helped, despite this being said by most forum members. I never really have seen forts being of any help against air attacks or naval bombardments. If you get a nuke, you nuke the enemy, no matter if level 0 forts or level 9 forts. Forts don´t work against air attacks or nuke naval bombardments. Thank god my opponent uses Havocs en masse in those attacks, this way he loses a lot of bombers...

my troops will move out of Charter Towers soon and we will reinforce the troops that have dug in in the bases on the North coast. Thousands of av can be moved out of Australia then. 8000+ av are sitting at Charter Towers alone. [:D]

note that the enemy has lost 7 B-24J to ops today. There were only 15 in the one hex strike against Charter Towers and I doubt that they were lost due to transfer. So what happened? The recently torpedoed AK South of Perth was reported sunk today so I guess this AK was carrying those bombers. Could mean that an understrenght B-24J bomber squadron went down with it. That would be nice. The TFs South of Perth have moved on though, no idea where they are now...

Russian troops at Blagoveshchensk keep starving to death. What really wonders me is the fact that bigbaba hasn´t used his Chinese tactic of ordering those out of supply troops to shock attack me. With the stupid results the last months they could have a wonderful chance to achieve something with their av perhaps only being halved while mine could get divided by 4 as we of course are fully supplied... and having full supply is a disadvantage in Gary Grigsby world...

Kweiyang´s av dropped by 7 in one day and 1200 troops less... also 6 guns less in one day... as we haven´t destroyed any guns the last two days, how much more prove do I need that those Chinese troops are completely out of supply? [8|] But hey, for those who haven´t noticed, the Chinese got an adjusted av of 7.000+ three days ago... boahhhhh....[8|]

the only interesting thing of the day is this:

daily recon of Perth shows dozens of subs at this base now. Does this mean the Allied will start a sub offensive again? We haven´t spot a sub for months, one of the many Allied faults IMO. We´ve got dozens of modern PCs now and I will use my IJAAF bombers the same way the Allied used hundreds of their bombers in the Pacific. Mass them in one place and sink every sub you spot... the only thing that prevents me from it is the fact that my sentais get 50% damaged from flying 70% nav search. Same goes for my fighters on Cap, still the BS about my aircraft are getting damaged for no obvious reason. I know the difference between reality and WITP but in WITP you should be able to fly a high CAP or nav search level daily without wrecking your aircraft.

so what about this BS? the enemy has laughable 158 guns, NO supply, sits behind level 8 forts and gets an adjusted av of 9.000+??? How stupid can this ground combat model really be? What upsets me the most is once again the fact that hundreds of combat eng can´t reduce another fort level. How ridicoulos. We took less casualties than the defender you might say, but hey, if we won´t be able to reduce the forts then all the reinforcements from Chungking will make it impossible to achieve anything. Heck, we can´t achieve anything even without facing a reinforced Chinese Army that is fighting with sticks, knifes and stones... STUPID ground combat model...

We probably won´t ever take out China against undersupplied Chinese, even though we could do it when they were still at full supply and we had halve the experience... just seems like out of supply gives you a negative negative multiplier which makes it a positive then. Either this, or a bug, or Mr. G failed miserably in mathematics... because otherwise the enemy can´t get an adjusted av 4 times higher than the base av...

one week until April 44... a very bad date for us. On 4/1/44 the Allied will start getting 150!! B-29 each month. This will bring the war into a new stage as everything within 24 hexes of a level 6 airfield can be completely wrecked if not heavily Capped... but this isn´t possible due to the oh so wonderful feature of seeing 50% of the Japanese fighters being damaged from flying Cap at 40%... nice undocumented feature... and BS...

my training bases aren´t all full anymore with many daitais/sentais flown out to the front again to wait for the Allied. We´ve got at least a dozen very, very high experienced daitais left at training bases (I don´t need them elsewhere) and they´ve all reached 90+ exp already. The IJNAF daitais will be act as replacements for shot down carrier based pilots and the IJAAF sentais (Tony) will be upgraded to Frank elite sentais. Elite sounds funny in the case of my airforce as the non elite front line units are also all in the range between 80 (few of them) and 85 (most of them).

we´re now flying ground attacks against the out of supply Chinese... I will fill up the airfields in China in the coming weeks and will start an air offensive against the Chinese. I expect to meet some 150-200 British/Australian/Chinese fighters/fighter bombers and perhaps a maximum of 50 enemy bombers.

as you can see, the big stack of Chinese starved to death units still gets an adjusted av far from being reasonable... lol, reasonable results and Gary Grigsby ground combat model just doesn´t match...

the stupid combat modifiers still give the Chinese a trippled adjusted av... this is soooo stupid...

Petropavlask is nuked again... once again, more hits than bombers... a nuke so to say... I´d like to mention that supply hits do NOT cause 1% of the base´s supplies being destroyed. This attack has cost me not even 2.000 supplies. Would it have been 21% then I would have lost more than 8000 in this attack alone... it´s just not true that a supply hit destroys one % of the supplies... one bomber is lost and that´s it...

what makes my situation worse is the fact that a) the Japanese rarely get attacks on more than one or two ground units per turn and b) always the same stupid unit is attacked (and NO it´s NOT the strongest unit in the stack)

in the meantime, I´ve got three bases filled with bombers but so far only one has launched strikes... great...

two of our subs have spotted several TFs in the Melbourne area moving West. I´m pretty sure those TFs are heading for Perth, they of course could be also heading to India. I doubt this is an amphibious armada moving towards Australia´s North coast though. I have subs in all important areas on the map where the enemy could form up invasion TFs and those two Glen equipped subs near Tasmania gave me some interesting intel this turn. Will keep an eye on the happenings around Perth and Southern Australia...

bigbaba has moved British Liberators to China. Hmm, didn´t know they could reach Chungking. Oh well, they only burn precious Chinese supply. Even though I have to say that with the recapture of Chengtu and us being kicked out of Chungking, the Chinese supply situation has become better. 300 supplies from Chengtu and 300 supplies from Chungking more a day than a month ago. The Chinese should get something like 1200 supplies each day, not enough to feed all their troops though. But hey, they don´t need supplies or weapons anyway, a shock attack works just fine and on the defense the out of supply troops get adjusted avs a real life commander could only dream about...

and the Chinese keep on killing us off at will... the didn´t get their av trippled, but I guess if they get it doubled that´s enough, considering the fact that they don´t have any supplies... zzzz.... out of four attacks so far, only two reduced a fort level and for what reason ever, we weren´t able to reduce one this turn... hundreds of combat eng just don´t help at all for the Japanese in 44. I could reduce those forts with a third of those combat engineers in 42 for sure. But hey, I don´t know the code, I can only speak of what I SEE and I SEE that in 44, Japanese aircraft get damaged en masse from flying Cap or nav search and that the 99 exp ground units have no combat value at all. Must be some hardcoded features I don´t know about... [8|]

it´s "funny" anyway as my empire is ruling the map and the Allied have done nothing to me that could justify a decrease in quality. Neither within my ground troops, nor within my airforce... [8|]

knowing that LCUs moving out of Charter Towers immedietely atract massed bomber strikes, this time I´ve set 20 AA rgt/bgd to move one hex out of Charter Towers to take position on the railline. And voila, as predictable as my opponent is [;)], wave after wave attacks my flak trap. You may think that Japanese flak is powerful... well, it isn´t. The reason we hit the enemy hard is because this is an attack on LCUs and in Gary Grigsby´s world, flak is five times more effective if on the move with other ground troops, whereas it´s not as effective if at a base in prepared positions.

what a pity bigbaba went back to 10.000ft attack alt instead of 3.000ft... unfortunately (for him), none of his bases was clouded in and strike after strike went in... muahhhhhhaaahahahaaa...

in the end the fields around Charter Towers were full of burning Allied bomber wrecks... I guess this is the best result ever achieved by me, playing as the Japanese PBEM. bigbaba stated that Japanese flak is very powerful in this mod, I answered that it only depends on the number of units. In fact, my flak is nearly useless, if you have a dozen base forces somewhere you´ve got to be really lucky if you are able to take down more than one bomber out of 200 due to the so high durability of Allied bombers. A couple of Allied base forces completely shred IJA bombers to pieces though, if you dare to attack an Allied base.

This turn was very funny to watch. It´s not a decisive attack and losing more than 100 bombers in one day is nowhere hurting the Allied but I guess it has an effect. bigbaba will think twice about attacking an LCU if it moves out of Charter Towers. [:D]

I was nearly shocked about so much action this turn. We´ve spotted occasional LRCAP over Kweiyang a couple of turns earlier already and today our incoming strikes meet enemy fighters. Even though we have nearly 100 Tonies set to escort Changsha´s bombers, only one sentai shows up with the first wave and both my fighters and bombers are hit hard. Especially the Spitfire VIII proves to be vastly superior to the Tony. The first round went to the Allied...

here comes the second wave and as it is always, defending Cap gets hit hard if there are follow on strikes. The enemy did NOT bounce us and this lead to a disaster within the enemy fighters. The Chinese Warhawks were dead meat, they suffered 17 fighters shot down for not a single kill. The four Tonies shot down all went to the Spitfire pilots (1 kill for the Vb and 3 for the VIII). The damage done to the Chinese troops is probably completely useless once again as it doesn´t matter if you disrupt one or two of the completely out of supply troops when there are three dozen of them. One of my Tony sentais is out of the war for two months again, a third of the sentai´s pilots died today. Hopefully the enemy lost some pilots too but I don´t have much hope on that as most of them probably were saved due to having fought over their own base.

Like I´ve said, so much action, I wasn´t used to... [:D]

In total, we nearly achieved a 6:1 in aircraft kills today. Not bad for early April 44?[8D]

Guns lost 11

as we seem not to be able to reduce a fort level with our combat engineers I´ve ordered a shock attack, while being well aware of the fact that the unsupplied enemy stick equipped army will kick our arse. We reduced a fort level and suffered for doing so. We can order one more attack and then my Army is exhausted and has to retreat. [8|] Very well done. With this ground combat model I have yet another Army being shredded by an enemy that has no heavy arms and is completely out of supply. And this for over a year already. While we could kick the Chinese around at will in 42 (when they had full supply and lots of heavy weapons), some hardcoded BS seems to prevent us from achieving anything.

The situation now is that I will do one more attack (hoping to reduce at least another fort level) and then retreat our exhausted troops (mostly down to 80% combat readiness) into a base South of Kweiyang to recover. In the meantime I will have moved in another 1000!!! combat engineers (those that were 100% useless at Irkutsk against 2500 Russian av [>:]) and another 2000 av from Southern Area Army units. Yes, I´m planning to use Southern Area Army units in China. While I rushed through the Chinese in 42 without the need of Southern Area Army units, I do need them now as the Chinese are fighting better with sticks than with heavy weapons. And you don´t need supply to use a stick...

There´s only some positive things at the moment (at least I think there are). As the enemy has been starving for over a year already I doubt that there are a lot of engineer squads left and when I look at how long it takes them to repair their level 4 airfield from one attack then I guess they won´t ever be able to build up the forts again as I won´t ever let the airfield get repaired again. And as I can see a steady decrease of Chinese av (means they are completely out of supply and starving to death) this means they won´t recover their disabled squads and while I will bring up my troops to 100% strenght again, the enemy won´t. It will be a long way to go, but I can guarantee you that at some point we will be victorious. I will get another 2000 av from reinforcements the next 45 days and they will all head to China to gain combat experience. This will give me fresh troops to rotate my worn down units and this also will bring up my new units´ experience levels. With the situation on all other fronts at the moment, I don´t see a need of those reinforcements being sent to the Pacific front anytime soon. I guess our main problem is the fact that it takes us 20 attacks until we will have brought down the forts from 9 to 0 and 20 attacks means 100.000-150.000 casualties (mostly disablements for the attacker).

Japanese forces CAPTURE Trimcomalee base !!!

Japanese para units are still in use and they are once again highly succesful. [:D] Noticed that bigbaba moved out all his units from Trimcomalee (including the STATIC unit - guess the 9.1 inch CD guns that make the unit static have been destroyed earlier) and so my paras took an empty base. With the Allied evacuations that were going out from Ceylon I doubt that there´s a lot left at Colombo. Will move in more troops and take out the whole island.

All in all a day with lots of action (considering how boring this PBEM is) and some highly succesful actions too.

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