More of the same; Allied bombers hit Bangkok and a unhappy Beaufighter units probably strafe the place by mistake.
Won't care posting turns with little or no interest.
Andy has rested and prepared for his major strike - on Bangkok area.
He can't keep bombing both Port Blair while at the same time suppressing Bangkok region.
- A single attack on 5 airfields have closed them for weeks though but as soon as I've sorted out and repaired the damaged air units
we will be able to return all 800 and cause havoc at any given day.
WitP AE air combat late war is struggling hard with scaling, works much better with low-moderate numbers of fighters and bombers.
It's not about killig of the enemy pilots and aircraft, it's about closing their airfields with a single nuke attack by a low number 4Es.
The abstration of dozens of airfields into one large is a poor one, guess it's the best that could be made.
Nah, the Es had some 12cm guns - just to create some disruption and spot enemy troops.
Air landing units in Port Blair doesn't have heavy guns and should be possible to suppress after living in the jungle for a month, but not so.
I can't strafe them either, only bombers can reach them from Malaya and Port Blair is and will remain closed for Jap air business.
- Takes weeks to reopen the place and one air strikes to close it again.
Sending reinforcements to Java in general, need to keep ships away from enemy Super forts.
Can always prep the divs for some targets, but it would be pure bingo to prep for the same targets as Andy!
Just a few para squads at Akyab, Andy hasn't cared about wiping them out.
I've given up on capturing a base; even 10 chefs when in rough terrain with 5 forts is enough to stall a para attack by 1000 troops and by next
day it's to late. Need to rest and refit the para units now...but yes, I'm always looking for opportunities [:)]
Does anyone know why it was decided not to include the Jap 4 engine bomber(s) in the game?
The only reason production was halted in 45 was lack of capacity and resources; the existing models were used as transports.
As I see it the model did go into production even only a few were produced.
In AE with numerous prototypes available the only missing thing is a bomber with potential of returning some heat to Allied bases.
Just doesn't make any sense to remove a fully operational design. Me thinks the AFBs got the better of us again [;)]
