War In The Pacific

Post by Ive »

Looks like Pacific needs another patch. I've sent LBs to bombard a base on altitude above ceiling of any AAs available at the particular base but LBs still suffered AA fire.
In one turn Lae base had 16000 supplies in next turn 6000? Where the supplies had gone?
I have V1.4

Regarding the second problem - check nearby bases - connected by trails - probably got transfered over to those ( but it will work both ways ) once you need it at Lae it will start to trickle back.

Regarding the first - probably one of many anomalies we will just have to live with - I don't recall seeing this one on the "fix list" for 1.5 ...

Moving to WITP......let us have the experts on the game chime in.....
The infantry doesn't change. We're the only arm of the military where the weapon is the man himself.

After being bombed all of your units at the base will have their supply requirments doubled. They will draw supply from the base which can dramatically effect your free supply at the base. After a few turns your units will release this supply back to the base if they do not get bombed again. Also as Jwilkerson posted some of it could have moved to other bases.

As for the other issue. How do you know what AA weapont the enemy base is using? Did you take actual losses or just have flak firing in the combat annimations? How many losses did you take to ground fire?

This was my in the support forum. Kinda lower, so maybe it was missed.

Re AAA - Did you actually suffer loses from Flak? Or did you just see the animation with the little puffs of smoke. When you checked your air-loss report the next turn, were there losses to AAA? Were there damaged planes in the CombatReport? Could be FoW. And damged planes at your base the next turn, could be from Ops. Hard to say.

Supplies "drain" to nearby bases. You can probably find some of your supplies at Finchafen and those bases next to Lae. Unfortunately, there's nothing you can do about it.

Also, depending on the base size, some of your supplies with "spoil". Roughly the number of supplies you can keep at a base without spoilage (you can do a search on "spoilage" in the manual") is (2x Port size + 1x AF size) x 1000.

And when you are unfortunate experience of being bomberd, each "AF supply" hit reduces the supplies at the base by 1% (which can also add up).

Most likely tho, your supplies are spreading to the nearby (friendly) bases in New Guinea.
