Seems to be a classic case of you not fully understanding the river crossing and ground combat routines here.

lol

classic case of me not understanding anything in the game. Praise the yay sayers, praise them [&o]

not going to answer anymore at this point, not worth the time

It really is though, castor.

that's the swamp hex East of the trapped Allied Army... ordered my divs to finally destroy the enemy HQ units there, the infantry units that crossed the river together with the HQs are gone already, starved to death after horrendous losses during the river crossing... the big Allied stack is still reported to move East but no more units have ever crossed the river, if they do, it's going to be a blood bath...

Allied forces attacking at Poona without having a chance to achieve anything against my well experienced units... we were only able to dig some foxholes in rough terrain but it's enough to cause way more casualties to the attacker than we suffered, one low experienced division that has come as reinforcement some time ago takes 100 disabled inf squads but the rest is spread out so will be out of disabled state soon... as you can see on the map we are trying to form another pocket, cutting off the Allied from the South as we are moving our tank regiments from the dot base to the South East up onto the road... on the road there's one enemy armored unit but we are bringing 600+ av in IJA tanks so that should be easy to dislodge... our tanks weren't spotted until today so it's going to be a nice surprise for the Allied when they show up on the road right in the back of their Army at Poona...

the enemy has been starving for quite some time and if we take the average daily losses it takes roughly 150 days more until they reach 0 assault value... lol... and even then it will be bloody to kill them off in the swamp hex... it all comes down to the Allied offense in Western India, if we can hamper or stall it we will have enough time to clear the pocket neare Jessore... in five months it will already be end of 44 though...

WOW! Back to back attack at Poona with even slightly better result for the Allied but more destroyed squads within their lines already... while I'm not afraid of losing Poona against this force we are moving in reinforcements from Calcutta/Jessore as I don't only want to hold Poona for a while, the goal now is to cut off and destroy this Allied spearhead in Western India... the couple of Australian Brigades are totally trashed now, the divisions in the stack still seem to be in good shape though...

Is it possible the game is so detailed even seperate munitions are tracked (internal not for us to see)?

The heavy AA ran out of heavy shells but the light AA still has plenty cause they were not firing when you flew above 10k height. You dropped to 6k and all the light AA let loose [X(] Still a bit too serious losses against troops in desperate situation and no shelter. At least in a city they would have protection from the elements to a degree. Bofors YES was (still is) a good gun, but it seems wonder weapon like in AE just like US PT-boats and 4Es.

Also the argument by Mind Messing regarding CAP being "out of position" if the next wave arrives, this does not hold up. If 80 fighters are in the air, and 3 bombers fleeing after dropping bombs, for sure not the whole unit would pursue thsese 3 planes, but perhaps 4-5 which would be "out of position" leaving still ca. 70 for the next wave (depending on fuel of course)

Posted: **Sun Oct 18, 2020 10:16 am**

The divisions could have the lighter AAA and possibly supplies but not the heavier AAA.

Posted: **Sun Oct 18, 2020 1:28 pm**

Supply is supply in the game. It's a bomb, a shell, an AA shell, a bullet, an aircraft sortie, a squad, etc. It's like Ranger said, the AA units with heavier AA guns were completely out of supply, most of the units in the stack are already fully out of supply and starving (3 or 4 already starved to death) but there must have been plenty of units with 40mm Bofors that still had at least some supply which resulted in all Bofors guns in the 1600 square mile hex firing at my bombers causing the 140+ bomber losses to flak. That's how the game works and that's how it is. Could have known better and just use one squadron to drop 6k ft to test it.

As to the AA vs the bombers, can only repeat myself, too many abstractions from real life that aren't in the code.

oh shit, first appearance of the P-47D25... not much better than the first version but way more range hence they show up over Hyderabad today... not really contesting the whole airspace in Western India but Hyderabad has to be defended to some degree as it's my major base in the region and I don't want it to be bombed to dust... what a surprise, another bad player sending in his sweep at max ceiling as he thinks that would be the best way... sarcasm off.. the Thuds dive 6 times, downing 5 of our fighters for no loss to the Thuds... what saves us here were the numbers, when the dive ended it was our fighters taking down more Thuds than we lost... in the end pretty much equal losses in that engagement due to numbers totally favouring us...

bombers from Ceylon attacking my tank rgts that are about to encircle the enemy at Poona... we moved 90 Georges to Bombay to fly LRCAP and get a nice number over our tank units but the results were pityful, it was like all of my fighters being driven off by the defensive gunners of teh 15 B-24 in the formation... am used to seeing a lot being driven off but in this case it was like 90% driven off which was odd... we lose more Georges to the B-24 gunners than they were able to down... really bad performance here, talking about the best IJNAF fighter formations we got...

when the first wave turns back to Ceylon another one shows up and the RAF Liberators' defensive armament isn't as heavy as those of the USAAF ones' so they take heavier losses than the Americans while not being able to really harm the fighters... difference is a couple of .303 Brownings instead of .50... anybody know why they changed the cal .50 to .303? For wheight reasons?

damn it, could have known that 16 P-47 is not going to be all on the sweep and this time we face 26... more P-47 at MAX altitude of course means MORE dives... this time there weren't 6 dives, but 14, result were 11 fighters shot down during the P-47 dives for NO P-47 lost... I'm not talking about damaged ones that crash later or being write offs, talking about outright kills during the air combat... so the 11 downed IJ fighters right at the start mean that this is going to be a disaster when it comes down to total K/D ratio as our fighters, despite still outnumbering the enemy 4:1 were only able to down 2 P-47 right away with a couple more being damaged...

end result was somewhere around 25 IJ fighters lost for 10 P-47, without the dive (that apparantly has no effect in the game) and the kills during it the P-47 would have lost in total kills... another 10+ fighters were downed by the B-24J...

here are today's total air losses over Western India including the usual 5 losses on ASW/nav search...

Posted: **Sun Oct 18, 2020 2:00 pm**

while I'm not enthusiastic about the Allied air offensive in Western India the Army also has good news as this time we were moving faster than the enemy and our tank rgts were able to fully encircle the enemy Army at Poona... more troops are coming in and we are planning on fully destroying the enemy at Poona as soon as they are low on supply... another unit on the road two hexes South West of Poona seems to be an armored unit as it is reported as 80 vehicles which is trying to move onto the Southern Road to Poona but we have 700 av worth of tanks in our tank rgts and most of them have been ordered to march South to engage the single unit, shouldn't have any chance to break the encirclement of the enemy...

further South at Bellary (North of Bangalore) recon reports another 42,000 troops with lots of guns and vehicles, in total 12 units... probably only 20-25,000 troops and mostly support unit, perhaps one division, doubt these units will be sufficient to break into the pocket of Poona and Ceylon doesn't seem to have lots of major combat units either... with the pocket at Jessore being safe we will move a serious amount of troops into Western India to clear this pocket within the next 4-6 weeks...

I really love India with it's huge railnetwork as it enables fast redeployments and the tank units are like wonder weapons there (way better than the real life IJA armored units ever were)... if we are able to destroy the Allied at Poona that will be another major victory on the ground as there are 100,000 Allied troops trapped now...

There just weren't enough fifty caliber M2 machines to equip the British bombers as well.

Really? The Brits didn't get that many B-24 so how many cal.50 are we talking about? A couple of hundred?

Castor have you ever tried setting your layered cap to 2-3-4k instead of 5-10-15k ? I have seen some promising results in the other thread , would be worth trying.

can do even though I've never seen it neutralizing the intial dives. You come in higher, you get the dive. When the dive is done, it's equal fight, it's just the initial dive phase that makes every somewhat decent fighter a Starwars X-fighter piloted by a Jedimaster.

Also the argument by Mind Messing regarding CAP being "out of position" if the next wave arrives, this does not hold up. If 80 fighters are in the air, and 3 bombers fleeing after dropping bombs, for sure not the whole unit would pursue thsese 3 planes, but perhaps 4-5 which would be "out of position" leaving still ca. 70 for the next wave (depending on fuel of course)

You seem to have missed the part where I pointed out the fairly slight speed advantage the IJ fighters possessed. A "pursuit" in that circumstance would have been technically possible, but likely the bombers would be safely landed by the time the IJ fighters caught up with them.

Morning Air attack on Hyderabad , at 39,32

Weather in hex: Severe storms

Raid detected at 58 NM, estimated altitude 40,000 feet.
Estimated time to target is 17 minutes

Japanese aircraft
N1K2-J George x 40
Ki-84a Frank x 83

Allied aircraft
P-47D25 Thunderbolt x 26

Japanese aircraft losses
N1K2-J George: 2 destroyed
Ki-84a Frank: 4 destroyed

Allied aircraft losses
P-47D25 Thunderbolt: 1 destroyed

damn it, could have known that 16 P-47 is not going to be all on the sweep and this time we face 26... more P-47 at MAX altitude of course means MORE dives... this time there weren't 6 dives, but 14, result were 11 fighters shot down during the P-47 dives for NO P-47 lost... I'm not talking about damaged ones that crash later or being write offs, talking about outright kills during the air combat... so the 11 downed IJ fighters right at the start mean that this is going to be a disaster when it comes down to total K/D ratio as our fighters, despite still outnumbering the enemy 4:1 were only able to down 2 P-47 right away with a couple more being damaged...

end result was somewhere around 25 IJ fighters lost for 10 P-47, without the dive (that apparantly has no effect in the game) and the kills during it the P-47 would have lost in total kills... another 10+ fighters were downed by the B-24J...

Aircraft Attacking:
9 x P-47D25 Thunderbolt sweeping at 37000 feet
2 x P-47D25 Thunderbolt sweeping at 37000 feet

CAP engaged:
263 Ku S-2 with N1K2-J George (3 airborne, 19 on standby, 2 scrambling)
3 plane(s) intercepting now.
13 plane(s) not yet engaged, 3 being recalled, 0 out of immediate contact.
Group patrol altitude is 5000 , scrambling fighters between 5000 and 33000.
Time for all group planes to reach interception is 19 minutes
25th Sentai with Ki-84a Frank (0 airborne, 18 on standby, 1 scrambling)
21 plane(s) not yet engaged, 0 being recalled, 0 out of immediate contact.
Group patrol altitude is 10000 , scrambling fighters between 10000 and 31514.
Time for all group planes to reach interception is 29 minutes
54th Sentai with Ki-84a Frank (3 airborne, 21 on standby, 0 scrambling)
3 plane(s) intercepting now.
19 plane(s) not yet engaged, 0 being recalled, 0 out of immediate contact.
Group patrol altitude is 15000 , scrambling fighters between 9000 and 31514.
Time for all group planes to reach interception is 28 minutes

So indulge another of my digressions into how it's not "just" the dive here.

The P-47's have the dive, as well as a notable speed advantage along with the tactical advantage (17 mins warning versus 19 mins for first whole IJ group to intercept).

Neither is the CAP mutually supporting at 5-10-15k. It in effect isn't a single combat, it's the P47s mauling one squadron and then moving on to the rest. Instead of facing superior numbers, your squadrons were engaged and defeated in detail.

2-3-4 will work far better for you than 5-10-15.

It isn't as one sided as you'd think - yes, you'll take the hit with the initial dive bonus, but it will make it much easier for your responding CAP to get into a better position and get the dive in return.

The generally lower altitude will be useful as you'll occasionally get sweeps missing the lower CAP and get more out of the (generally) superior IJ MVR ratings.

Really? The Brits didn't get that many B-24 so how many cal.50 are we talking about? A couple of hundred?

I had a quick check and the British Liberators all have .303's in the rear turret position, hence the reduced defensive fire.

My understanding is that represents the Boulton Paul turrets that the RAF used on bombers, which would likely involve stripping out the 50 cals for the 303 (and explains why the waist guns remain 50 cal on the British Liberators..

Asumptions, abstractions, whatever...

While I have learnt from your comments that I have no clue about ground combat, ground movement, flak, A2A and what not else I now get to learn I also don't know the stats of a P-47 or I don't know how to compare it to Georges and Franks. Thank you so much, how I could I ever play this game when I don't even get the basics? Insanely so that there are AARs from WITP all the way to AE that still keep me doing quite well. Must be insane luck or all dumb opponents.

Ok, it's not the dive. But it might be you not reading what I post:

11 fighters shot down during the P-47 dives for NO P-47 lost

when the dive ended, it was equal fight. How could that be when the P-47 is oh so superior? How could it be to have a 11:0 K/D turn into a worse than 1:1 K/D for the oh so superior P-47? The dive isn't important, all that is important is trying to find an abstraction that isn't there. BETWEEN THE 11:0 AND 1:1 K/D WAS ONLY ONE DIFFERENCE, THE DIVE! Stats don't change during combat, all that changed was the sweeper not having the dive anymore. I've been saying it for a decade, the dive is way too powerful and your oh so praised air team lead replied at some point it is totally gaming the game to do these kind of sweeps aka strato sweeps. What are you doing? Finding an abstraction for this and that. Funny. Not.

Really, I've said it before and I will repeat, this is not worth it! Not at all, it's only annoying to have a discussion that is ignoring what actually is happening.

You: The dive isn't important. Everything else is important. You (castor) are not getting it at all. You (castor) have no clue.

Real result in the game: The dive got the P-47 a 11:0 kill rate while it lasted, without the dive they didn't achieve even 1:1.

Again, not worth it, it has become totally ridicoulos and I'll just stop here. If you wanna keep it in this AAR I'll as well stop the AAR and leave you in your fantasy world of abstractions and what not. Have only found one AAR in the AAR section and I wasn't impressed at all so I wonder who is trying to teach me here. I'm not impressed.

in the end I bet having these 500 medium bombers on ground attack each day isn't worth it at all as they consume insane supply and the damage done to the enemy in a swamp hex isn't all that great... hopefully it is causing moral to pummel faster than without the attacks but I wouldn't bet on it... as supply stocks are reaching 7,000,000 tons within the Empire I've decided to keep bombing 24/7 though...

Here's the "West Front" showing the situation at Poona. The Allied units at Bellary are marching North now, Poona is encircled and I have an IJA "Panzerkorps" ready to engage what is coming North trying to break the siege.

Asumptions, abstractions, whatever...

While I have learnt from your comments that I have no clue about ground combat, ground movement, flak, A2A and what not else I now get to learn I also don't know the stats of a P-47 or I don't know how to compare it to Georges and Franks.

I wouldn't say you have no clue about the game mechanics in themselves. What seems to cause you problems is understanding that there can be more than one variable at work to generate outputs in the game.

Sarcasm aside, if there was no dive advantage coded, you'd still have suffered a lopsided defeat in the air. This is due to the better deployment of the Allied airframes and the sub-optimal dispositions of the IJ CAP.

Ok, it's not the dive.

Good, glad we managed to get there.

But it might be you not reading what I post:

11 fighters shot down during the P-47 dives for NO P-47 lost

Seems a reasonable outcome for the situation, to be honest.

when the dive ended, it was equal fight. How could that be when the P-47 is oh so superior? How could it be to have a 11:0 K/D turn into a worse than 1:1 K/D for the oh so superior P-47? The dive isn't important, all that is important is trying to find an abstraction that isn't there. BETWEEN THE 11:0 AND 1:1 K/D WAS ONLY ONE DIFFERENCE, THE DIVE!

Now there's where you're wrong.

It absolutely isn't an equal fight after the dive bonus, for the reasons I've listed in my previous post.

Stats don't change during combat, all that changed was the sweeper not having the dive anymore. I've been saying it for a decade, the dive is way too powerful and your oh so praised air team lead replied at some point it is totally gaming the game to do these kind of sweeps aka strato sweeps. What are you doing? Finding an abstraction for this and that. Funny. Not.

Demonstrably not the case.

Re-reading this thread from 2008 may be helpful to refresh your memory (esp. comments from TheElf on page 2) - https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.a ... age=2&key=

I see that you have commented in it, but obviously the implications didn't stick or have since been forgotten.

Really, I've said it before and I will repeat, this is not worth it! Not at all, it's only annoying to have a discussion that is ignoring what actually is happening.

You: The dive isn't important. Everything else is important. You (castor) are not getting it at all. You (castor) have no clue.

Real result in the game: The dive got the P-47 a 11:0 kill rate while it lasted, without the dive they didn't achieve even 1:1.

So lets be clear, a squadron of P-47s boom-and-zooms a IJ squadron. All IJ planes are at a markedly different altitude, so need to climb to intercept and cannot mutually support each other. IJ planes are also slower than their American counterparts, therefore attaining attack positions is even more challenging.

Have I misunderstood and you're surprised that it wasn't 20:0?

Again, not worth it, it has become totally ridicoulos and I'll just stop here. If you wanna keep it in this AAR I'll as well stop the AAR and leave you in your fantasy world of abstractions and what not. Have only found one AAR in the AAR section and I wasn't impressed at all so I wonder who is trying to teach me here.

I see you made a timely edit to your original post that mentioned your previous games/opponents.

I'll be blunt - I do not share your assessment of your previous and current opponents being experienced.

In all fairness to Mundy, I have no doubt he is playing to the best of his ability, but experienced players would not have responded to IJ moves in the manner he has.

Nor do I think that this is a fair match-up of skills - games between evenly matched opponents do not result in large IJ ground operations in India in 1944.

I haven't the interest to go back to your previous AAR's, but I'd imagine that a particular trend would emerge.

As for the comparative merits of your AAR versus mine, it may be worth to consider would be that I can state that my opponent was:

1. suitably "experienced" in AE as to be competitive - this being defined as having a deep understanding the mechanics of the game (rather than time served on the forum).
2. capable of formulating and executing a strategy that countered the IJ position and gave the Allies a victory.

I'm not impressed.

You are perfectly entitled to be unimpressed. I am interested in how you arrived at at that judgement - in other words, what impresses you in AE? Is it a sub-continental invasion, or aggressive KB use, or large scale fleet actions? What metrics do you use castor?

As an aside:

What has more merit to you; attaining a resounding victory over an inferior opponent, or a defeat to a superior one?

I know my preference. Do you?
