Bwheatley Vs Drake

[bwheatley]

Well dicedtomatos bailed on our WPO game for dislike of the game so i'm going to AAR my game i'm doing with Drake 26-30 me allies



in my game i'm using my CAs & DDs based from hong kong to harass though its all covert since everyone else is offacially neutrel.

More as it comes! i just wanted to share that kick ass DD performance

[bwheatley]

Wow my DD's broke through the bb's and kicked some more ass.

[JagdFlanker]

any secrets on how you pulled off attacking BB's so close while recieving only 1 hit? did you have your best leader w/high aggresion while perhaps mabe he had a lousy one with low aggression? or are unescorted BB's dead meat w/o escorting DD's?

[vertical]

Those are excellent results with DDs. Is it because of the TF leader's stats?

[bwheatley]

I have decided that High aggression is overrated is the guy has low naval skill and inspiration and leadership. So i put a very inspiration guy with 80+ naval skill in charge of the DD's hes only 58 aggressive. Also my opponent was using a default captain so i told him to fix that and hopefully he will. I should have had the holy shit torn out of me lol. It didn't hurt that i popped up at 2000 yards away and put a few torps in him and then bolt. The damage to the DD from the shell was only 14 too so it was not too bad.

[bwheatley]

Heh i dont think being unescorted hurt him. In one of my battles with billy my BB's torn his DD squad to shreds

[bwheatley]

Well most of my DD's are hurt but i still have a CA CL & 3 DD's that i am doing hit and runs from out of hong kong (Shhh dont let the enemy know i'm violating neutrality )

This time we hit tinain and got a PG & AD Out. WOOT i know the japs don't start with alot of Ad's so sending it to the bottom made me happy. Since my ground combat is going to make me sad glad i can do something to make me happy.

My main fleet is a few days out of PH now.

[bwheatley]

AIR ATTACK!


Commerce Raiding i am hoping it is a total pain in the ass for him

I keep telling drake to protect his convoys. he didn't so i intercepted them again halfway to their port in north PI. Almost 700 men dead hopefully the rest of the ships will sink before then. I will not retire back to port and await my next chance to strike.

Eventually japan will tire of the americans using british hong kong as a port and will come down on hong kong but for now we are safe.
