From tracker, it's interesting to see the ship gaining experience in a very short period during the beginning of the war, then leveling off and not budging since.

The Nagato Maru crew has gone up more steadily throughout the war. It too seems to have leveled off a bit, but gained a point recently in night experience.

Shiranui hasn't seen much combat at all, but was involved in one surface battle. No experience rise at all yet during the war. You'd think there would be a point for just sailing around for the last 11 months!

This ship has been a troop transport, with the extra added space built very early in the war, and has been in the Pacific, in the DEI, in SW OZ, and now is back in Osaka.

No experience gain here. Its cool that you can track some of the cargoes here though. On the return run to the HI it was resources from Soerabaja.

Before I get too ahead of myself or bore everyone with my obsessions, I'll get back to the war now.

subs: Sub action erupts again all around the HI and South.

Tuna gets a good batch of Mk 14s and hits a troop laden xAK Asahisan Maru with one. This is a garrison force destined to Rabaul and the SE Fleet area. Thanks to the Cribtop lifeboat strategy not many troops were lost!

SS Tuna launches 2 torpedoes at xAK Asahisan Maru

-------------------------------------------------------------[/font]

Our CLAAs are done converting and heading to meet the KB. They were attacked in the night by Greenling near Chichi-Jima but both torps missed.

Truant launches 4 torps at DD Oite, wihch is escorting a garrison unit in 4 AKs. All torps missed.

So Pac: The KB continues to move North. Many attacks on subs and one hit listed by ASW air.

Burma: I set up a massive sweep plan for Akyab, where at least two groups of Hurris have ben hanging out. Or out on a limb. Seems a bad place to keep them, so the sweeps were intended to be followed by a raid of 90 Helens. These did not fly due to weather, presumably.

The sweeps just about cleaned up on their own. I think I've figured something out here. Our fighters achieved 3 to 1 results, knocking down 22 Hurris in A to A and ops during the day.

subs: Guardfish keeps going for mid-ocean convoys. Today it dudded on xAK Noto Maru near Chichi-Jima.
Then came up for another shot at the same ship which missed.

I-176 takes a DC hit with very minor damage after going for two SCs near Suva. Didn't thikn he had any left. [:D] I'll have to see what I can do about that.

Drum attacked ASW DD Amagiri near Aogashima. No hits.

So Pac: The KB still moving to Tulagi. Still hitting subs.

Burma: Jocke moved the kitchen sink into Akyab today to make sure he dealt roughly with any more sweeping actions. Well, in an unexpected turn Tojos and A6M3 and 3a took it to the Allied planes for a second day in a row. Even the Lightnings suffered and were not very effective.

In total the Allies lost a bunch of planes again. See below. Of special note are the 9 Lightnings lost. Banzai!

Many of the Japanese losses were ops, and thus few pilots were KIA. Only 7 on the day, plus two WIA.

Also on the day, a pilot from a previous mission makes it back alive.

Pilot Inuzuka I. is reported as having been found

[font="Times New Roman"]Ship Losses; IJN and Allied[/font]
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

During the last month several major naval battles have resulted in sizable losses for both sides. The 3 CLs sting for the IJN side, but the Allies lose some decent CA/CL as well as a plethora of destroyers and small craft.

Some of the ships known sunk aren't on this list yet, so the Allied losses will be slightly higher.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

After building a large pool of both Naval and Merchant ship points, I will now turn on some fairly important projects. The Musashi will continue building, needing just under 3 more months to complete. Also several CVEs will recommence.

This brings me just above the total building for each area, but will be covered by the pool during the next few months. The merchant yards will have needs decrease over the next few months as I turn off more ships and only chose those I want/need to produce. The naval pool will be sufficient until Musashi is fitted out and sent into the fray.

Massive updates today. This puts me in real-time with the game. I feel much better. I hate getting behind and not getting a chance to write about some of the interesting behind the scenes stuff of the economy, research and production.

subs: I-176 goes for the SCs again. A waste of torps, and it misses.

So Pac: The KB reaches Suva and does some serious replenishing of airplanes.

sigint: Interesting reports today. A blip has been moving through the South Pacific, now beneath Canton Island somewhere, I think. A few times this has materialized into US CVs. I'll send some subs that way.

Also, there is activity at Auckland. There was nothing there a week ago, when we visited, but something has obviously moved back in. So probably Wellington or even Christchurch are the shelter zones for NZ when the KB is on the move.

Burma: Well, at last bombers flew. Nothing left to hit but one Lightning at Akyab. One group still did not fly. All show good moral over 98. Probably need more supply.

JPC: Trying to clear the supply paths near Kunming I certainly didn't expect this! A unit that is battle worthy after being out here cut off for several months. We were slightly low on supply, and that may have contributed to the result. I also didn't realize this was such a large unit. I'm going to have to send a division over, and do some bombing.

Our treaty doesn't include letting Chinese units run all over us! [;)]

subs: KXVIII is attacked near Mataram, coming or going from the DEI. Just had a thought to mine Banjowengi and put ASW TFs in each of the entrances to the area in the shallows next to some island. Worth a try. Gives the Type 95 DC ships a chance.

Stingray is attacked near Madjene.

Seal duds on a TK near Hong Kong and is given two minor hits.

So Pac: The BBs and KB are replenished by the Aden class AKEs and the Fleet HQ at Tulagi in one day. Good news. Many ships take a rest in port.

Burma: Some sweeps flew accidentally, not turned off from a few days ago. No opposition.

I've been moving out strong 70-85 exp pilots. I'm keeping 1/3 of each IJAAF fighter group with 60-80 exp pilots and the rest will be 50-55 exp rookies. Why not get them some kills while I still have a fighting chance, and save some of the best for later when I'll need them the most and they'll have better planes to fly? All Oscar pilots other than the group leader will be below 60 exp.

I'll do the same for the IJNAF LBA fighter groups soon once I have enough new pilots. I'd like to have a KB reserve of 70-80 exp guys with multiple kills. Once planes like the N1K1 George arrive (in 8-9 months) I might then have some decent pools.

Economy: Here is a small look at the economy currently.

The HI pool is at 800k. Still on track for the goal of 1000k by the end of 42.

Ship production is now aligned with needs. The Musashi will reduce pools by around 7000 production points before being finished, which will still leave a considerable pool to work with.

For merchants, once a few ships ceom off the line soon, the surplus should again grow and single ships will be added as I see fit over the near future.

How do you update tracker with the new version, without losing all the previous turn info? I think I don't understand this process well enough. Every time there's been a tracker update, I've had to start over at whichever turn I'm at and lose the previous info. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks Crackaces. I know about it and I'm itching to get it going. Didn't know about the fuel burn numbers! Awesome.

I also, like SqzMyLemon, will need some help on how to install it and get my game to continue and still show the earlier info. I might be asking a lot of questions in about a week, as my school semester winds down and I look forward to summer. [8D]

Really easy to install. just unzip the one file into your tracker directory. if you go to the tracker website, they tell you exactly which one to copy over. that's all you need. no lost data.

Actually I might recommend just replacing the *.jar file thus it will not overwrite any special *.bat files or the *.dll's ..especially if you are running the Beta ..

I must ask. Especially for fuel stock. 5M in October. How you manage to do that. Other number are close to me . I am in August an i don`t even close to that. Or am i doing something wrong.
I know you not sailing lot with big ships but 5M.

What average level of resources, supplies fuel Japanese player should have in August/October 42?

China could be helping. I have extra oil/fuel centers there in Lanchow and Sian (+Urumchi which will most likely never send any oil/fuel to the rest of the world, greedy bastards). Also, Fusan was my main resource port from day 1. This cuts down a bit if you consider I only used Port Arthur for a month or so to transport resources over, and then only sparingly. I've only recently pushed hard to get fuel/oil back to the HI from the SRA. I was hoping for land transport to kick in, but I have to go hard at it now for a few months in anticipation of the US torps working.

I've also been lucky in only losing I think about 5-7 TK/AO for the war.

Other than that, not sure. Glad it looks high though! You've been having to do a lot more sailing around in the DEI I think than I have. I also try to make each voyage profitable. Every supply/troop TF going out of the HI brings back resources/fuel. I usually have a lot of transports just sitting around for lack of escorts.

What average level of resources, supplies fuel Japanese player should have in August/October 42?

I'd be happy to know this as well.[:)]

subs: There is still quite a bit happening at Suva it seems. I-176 ran into this today.

O19 continues to lurk in the Macassar strait. Asagiri spotted it today and couldn't get in for an attack.

Halibut shows up near Hachijo-jima and fires four at DMS W-21, which is escorting a troop convoy.

So Pac: Nothing special going on. The Judy recon planes are nearly ready to fly down to Noumea and have a look at Suva. I might also get them on a CV in the future.

JPC: Annoyingly I can't send a division from Kuching to take out the Chinese unit on the road, as I need a garrison there. A tank unit is rolling up at full speed from the valleys.

Burma: Nothing.

I think this ship might have been fairly heavily damaged about 3-4 weeks ago. This could mean;

A. FOW B. It was fixed really quickly, or not as damaged as I'd hoped 3. My recollection is not correct. (FOM - fog of mind) [:)]

EDIT:

Well, apparently it's either A. or B. On 28th September it took 1 torpedo and 7 shell hits of various caliber in battles with CA/CL TFs near Anatom. It's only October 20th, so either that's one tough CA or there is some mystery in names happening here.

EDIT 2:

Wait just a minute! Some of these DDs were there and were damaged as well. Maybe he's moving them out of Suva. Hmmmm. subs are all over the place here, so hopefully we'll find these ships again.
