My theory is that many of the people around here are or have been soldiers, sailors, marines, airmen, coastguardmen, national guardsmen, armed boy-scouts or members of a Paintball Team. And like all good soldiers do, they b*tch a lot - about the lousy chow, poor weather, the latest SNAFU, or WitP. Just a bad habit.

A bitchin' sailor's a happy sailor!

It's when they don't bitch that you have to worry!!!

That was about how effective the B-17's were when flying above 32,000 feet.

What kills me to this day is just how many saves I have here from people who were deliberately exploiting this.

Everyone talks a mean game but when the chips are down, they go and do it anyways.

No point denying it either, I keep all saves so I have the evidence still. 2 of the 17 I can accept didn't know any better as they are very infrequent forum visitors but the other 15 [:'(]

If it helps the discussion, Whenever I spot an enemy sub off the East coast of OZ I just form an ASW TF and send them out to do the extermination. They are a bout 90% effective. The routine goes like this.

Sight, form, send, sink, disband...repeat.
Curious why you opt to disband an effective ASW TF (at least the whole thing). Are you using a TF commander, or just using the commander of the most experienced ship in the TF? Keeping at least one ship around would maintain a TF commander so you wouldn't have to pay PP for a good one the next time around if that's indeed what you do (and he'd accumulate experience to make your ASW's even more devastating -- say 95% [:D]).
