Cruise speed, no question. Put at least one other DD with her. PRAY. 75% she is a goner. 63% system damage says she will struggle with any fire, and 49 fires is BIG.ORIGINAL: 1EyedJacks
Hi Guys - hey help me out here please.
My Hibiki is damaged and I want to get her to a port for repairs. The closest decent base is Cam Ranh Bay. The closest base is Miri. Hibiki broke off into it's own TF - so she's solo with the following damage 63/23/22/49. the 23 flood damage - 5 is Major.
- run at cruise speed or stay @ mission speed?
- try to get other DD to match with Hibiki (thinking they'll help fight fires)
- try to sit in a hex and "hide" for a turn or two while fighting fires/damage and then shoot for Cam Ranh Bay?
- Miriis 16 hexes & Cam Ranh Bay is 23 hexes away.

What would you do and why? Is there any other information you'd look at to help you make a decision?

RE: Advice Requested
things that hurt recovery (so minimize/avoid these):ORIGINAL: 1EyedJacks
Hi Guys - hey help me out here please.
For LCU - I've got a couple of units that I want to drop their fatigue/disruption as fast as I can. Is there anything in the leader ratings I can use that you *know* works? I think I want to set the units to RESERVE with the thought they will recover faster. Is this an urban myth or should I just leave them at COMBAT but no movement. I'm gunna flood the base with supplies thinking 2x supplies or better should help reduce disruption.
What do you do to drop fatigue/disruption?
1. proximity to hostile units
2. distance to HQ
3. low supply
4. outside controlled base hex
Things that help:
1. rest mode
Oops, gotta go ... try to finish later ...

CombatReport for 12.17.41
Hi everyone,
So I sent the turn off for Steve to input his side for 12.18.41. We are upgrading to 11.19e (although the label on the screen says 1.7.11.19b) but I guess this is because Michaelm hasn’t updated the screenie name to reflect this patch.
So in China troops are still moving. I’m already a bit impatient but the truth is I lose 4-6 days just getting my Kwantung troops to and from Strat-move. Add a few days for actual travel… I am getting more air units in the area and am doing much better in the recon side of things. Steve has 10 LCU @ Chengchow and I guess he wants to smack me as I cross the river. I marched the 35th Div around and behind Chengchow. My best guess is that Steve is already falling back towards Sian. I’ll try for Liuchow and Nanning and try to work the rail line up to Changsha. I think if I can get to and hold Kweiyang I can block a lot of his troops from falling back to Chungking. To do this I really need to get a few divisions down near Hangchow and start marching them along the coastal roads. And use my air units to bomb bases to stop him from forting plus more recon to keep track of where he plans to make his defensive stand.
For Burma I have the 3rd and 7th RTA Divisions at Chiang Mai. I’ll march them across and ford the river above Moulmine. I show 14 LCU @ Rangoon. I was wondering why I was seeing so many ships at that port. I figured he was trying to pull his units out but it looks like he’s forting up. If he’s forting up at Rangoon than he’ll probably try the fortress Palembang thing too. The 25th Army is at Rahaeng and pushing for Moulmine. I keep sweeping Moulmine and he keeps putting up CAP. I’m guessing he has to run out of those H81-A3 soon – huh? My FoW must be totally wonkers as I show 80 destroyed in combat and of those, 63 by air-to-air.
In Malaya Steve is CAPing Singapore but I’m bringing Zeroes to sweep up over there too. Everything he has there is running to Singapore.
My subs have been catching a few small TFs running to/from Palembang so I figured Steve was trying to beef it up. Near Palembang I had a SCTF of 2BB & 2DD run down 4CL and a pair of DD. I spanked them pretty hard. It was fun to watch from my end. We had 4 or 5 engagements between the two TFs. I think the two TFs had patrol orders locked in and they kept bumping heads while trying to follow orders. For my side the Hibiki took some tough damage and I’m trying to get her to safety. I’m guessing he sent them up near Palembang for a reason. I figure they must be paving the way for ships headed to Palembang as there’s not much larger for warships that can go up the river.
Hey – can CA go up the river or is it CL and lesser?
In the Philippines I’m showing Manila with airfield damage of 65. I’ll switch to Clark on the next turn. I want to bleed his supplies as much as I can before he forts up. I’m curious to see if where Steve makes his stand. I see 16 LCU at Clark so that’s my current guess.
Near Hawaii I’m stocking up around bases, reloading KB for Bear, and getting ready for a push at the main isle.
I’ve got a pair of subs that have been scoping about Christmas Isle. I’m bearing presents for the isle’s inhabitants.

RE: A Spanking
Attacks on Babeldoap tends to end badly for B-17 from PI (and there are only CLAUDEs on CAP), so I am guessing it is combination of fighters, and AA fire, what cause damage. Try to put there some ground AA units (transport them by air, not that you have much use for your transport planes)ORIGINAL: 1EyedJacks
Steve is pounding oil @ Miri with 4E bombers. I was using Nates but they are ineffective. Oscars get the next try.
The main trick that works is to put it into large base. In something like Manila LCU tends to zeroing dis/fat in 3 days.For LCU - I've got a couple of units that I want to drop their fatigue/disruption as fast as I can. Is there anything in the leader ratings I can use that you *know* works? I think I want to set the units to RESERVE with the thought they will recover faster. Is this an urban myth or should I just leave them at COMBAT but no movement. I'm gunna flood the base with supplies thinking 2x supplies or better should help reduce disruption.
What do you do to drop fatigue/disruption?
There is something in manual, that additional ships in TF help with fire fighting. You should go to nearest base, and send there some repair ship and/or Naval Support. IIRC AD can also help repair DD.My Hibiki is damaged and I want to get her to a port for repairs. The closest decent base is Cam Ranh Bay. The closest base is Miri. Hibiki broke off into it's own TF - so she's solo with the following damage 63/23/22/49. the 23 flood damage - 5 is Major.

What would you do and why? Is there any other information you'd look at to help you make a decision?
I think ship have better chance of putting fires down, when it is disbanded.

Oscars are doing better than Nates. I'm not shooting anything down but combat reports show I'm getting in some damage and I'm losing less oil centers from the attacks.
I here you on the fatigue thing. It's just that I have poor troops (RTA) that I'm pushing towards Burma and they seem to dislike foraging through the jungles.
I tried reducing speed and pushing towards Cam Ranh Bay while running a couple of DD towards his path. Hibiki sank B4 they could get to him... [:(]

ASW/Sub wars continue in strength. We've been pounding at each other and missing probably 98% of the time with Torpedoes & DCs around the Hawaiian Isles... It's kinda like watching two blind men thrashing at each other with swords on an enclosed ice rink.
That TF with 4 CAs up above lead by the Mogami? There's a story behind that... Steve and I had been trading e-mails back and forth about his wildebeests and problems with torpedoes/drop tanks. I was sharing that I wish I had that problem as Japan as having access to drop tanks would make it much easier to air-ferry torpedo groups about the board for Japan. And then I also shared that I'd been playing this game for some time and that the allied TB/DB groups in and around Malaya pretty much can't hit the side of a barn when they go up against warships... This turn Steve gets torpedo hits against the CA Mikuma. Sometimes I'm just a tad too cocky.
I'd also note that prior to the torpedo attack - when they CAs took out the xAKL Beatrice - you can see LCU losses from the sinking. This is the 2nd time in this area that I've tapped into LCUs while sinking enemy shipping so I'm pretty sure Steve is going for the "Fortress Palembang" play.
You can see the campaign to take out the bases on the NW corner of Borneo is in place. Additional TFs are in the area - some to unload - some to support.
Up around Hawaii I'm taking out Xmas Isle and will capture the line Isles.
In the PI additional INF regiments are landing to bottle Steve up in Clark or wherever he tries to hole up.
In China I've got all of the armored units from Manchukuo on the roads now to help push Steve's LCUs. I want to get some damage on those troops and force them to use up supplies. I've also stepped up my air campaign in China, Malaya, and Burma.

ASW/Sub wars continue in strength. We've been pounding at each other and missing probably 98% of the time with Torpedoes & DCs around the Hawaiian Isles... It's kinda like watching two blind men thrashing at each other with swords on an enclosed ice rink.
That TF with 4 CAs up above lead by the Mogami? There's a story behind that... Steve and I had been trading e-mails back and forth about his wildebeests and problems with torpedoes/drop tanks. I was sharing that I wish I had that problem as Japan as having access to drop tanks would make it much easier to air-ferry torpedo groups about the board for Japan. And then I also shared that I'd been playing this game for some time and that the allied TB/DB groups in and around Malaya pretty much can't hit the side of a barn when they go up against warships... This turn Steve gets torpedo hits against the CA Mikuma. Sometimes I'm just a tad too cocky.
I'd also note that prior to the torpedo attack - when they CAs took out the xAKL Beatrice - you can see LCU losses from the sinking. This is the 2nd time in this area that I've tapped into LCUs while sinking enemy shipping so I'm pretty sure Steve is going for the "Fortress Palembang" play.
You can see the campaign to take out the bases on the NW corner of Borneo is in place. Additional TFs are in the area - some to unload - some to support.
Up around Hawaii I'm taking out Xmas Isle and will capture the line Isles.
In the PI additional INF regiments are landing to bottle Steve up in Clark or wherever he tries to hole up.
In China I've got all of the armored units from Manchukuo on the roads now to help push Steve's LCUs. I want to get some damage on those troops and force them to use up supplies. I've also stepped up my air campaign in China, Malaya, and Burma.
TTFN,
Mike

Ship question
Hi ya'll,
Are there any ships that convert to AR at the start of the game or am I forced to wait til April before I can start AR conversions?
Are there any ships that Convert to ARDs?
Is there a cheat-sheet of classes to conversions for AE Scenario 2 that anyone is aware of?

Morning Air attack on 18th Chinese Corps, at 75,50 , near Kweiyang
Weather in hex: Thunderstorms
Raid spotted at 38 NM, estimated altitude 11,000 feet.
Estimated time to target is 11 minutes
Japanese aircraft
Ki-48-Ib Lily x 9
Japanese aircraft losses
Ki-48-Ib Lily: 1 damaged
Aircraft Attacking:
9 x Ki-48-Ib Lily bombing from 6000 feet
Ground Attack: 4 x 15 kg GP Bomb
Are You playing beta Patch? There was bug introduced in one of early 1117/18 version.
I was changing bomb load of few Japanese planes (Ki-48, Ki-51 and few more i think)
It was fixed later but if You upgrade now it will only help for new units, old one already effected will use broken bomb load. To fix this in 100% You will need to rollback to turn before you upgraded to 1118 patch. And play from beginning.
In my PBEM we must back 2 days and replay them again.
EDIT:
After You upgrade to bug free patch. You can upgrade plane to another model and then back to original plane. Maybe that will reset bomb load for those units.
Flying with 15kg bombs is waste of supplies, planes and pilots. Right now they are only good to training.
From my experience having anything smaller than 250kg bomb (especially against fortified or against units in wooden hex is waste of supplies, planes and pilots).

Thanks for sharing this - I was actually gunna put them on training also (lol). I divided and recombined the air group and wambo - ordnance is back up to 4 X 100kg SAP bombs. I'm fine with the 100kg bombs for bombing troops and air bases. They do goo even against merchant shipping. They definitely suck against armor, subs, and war ships.
Thanks again for the tip Koniu!

Something really weird in China... Steve shoulda defended this base as its a river hex. I mean - he seems to be doing a Sir Robin all over the board but even in a Sir Robin I'd leave behind a rear guard to bloody a nose when ever the opportunity is there... He must be falling back to Chungking but How is he gunna supply all of those troops there? Air Transports? I've now got my troops RACING in as there looks to be a vacuum between his retreating troops and mine.
