The Accidental War Obvert vs Lowpe

[Lowpe]

Back to the yards.

Nagato managed to disable one non-combat squad.

[Lowpe]

I guess the Captain wanted to duel the shore batteries for whatever reason.

33 hits....including some monster shells...

[Lowpe]

Good job.

[Lowpe]

Touch and go.

[adarbrauner]

Oh my goodness the bombardment....how many airplanes have you parked there in Kotha? How much big the airfield?

Assuming it isn't going to be much different, after the earlier discussion about target selection I looked at Vladivostok in my game (Babes 28) when someone said it had really nasty guns. Hell yes it does!

[PaxMondo]

stock, just the fort unit:

[witpqs]

14 inch guns, 12 inch guns, and so on.

Thats exactly what harbour defences of that size where designed for.

WAD (probably! but no consolation for you Lowpe [:)])

I just wish it had been a duel between the two sets of really big guns.

In every game where the Soviets are active their CD guns seemingly over-perform.

The Vladivostok fortress, stronger than the Maginot.
Pay attention in particular to what said during last minute and a half;

Well I was surprised that during the night the ship could be targeted, but maybe it can be accepted if considered the big number of guns involved.


What weather did you have there?

[Lowpe]

What is of particular interest, is that the Nagato only fired her main guns, while the the Fortress replied with every CD gun. [:(]

Since 90% of bombardments happen in the night phase, what good would CD guns do if they couldnt locate ships in the dark?

DL plays a big part but also most CD guns also do not have that range.

That (only main guns firing on ships in a conflict), sadly, has been a feature in the game for quite some time.

[Lowpe]

According to Tracker, Japan had a slight advantage in range....but not true in actuality because all the CD guns fired.

At range 42, only the Nagato's main guns could be fired. If the range was 0 the lesser guns would have fired too -- to some extent.
