Its called lazy player I wasnt really paying much attention to Munda is the truth trying to churn out turns quickly
Basically Munda is shut with no Av Support so I have lRCAP from Lunga in order to secure it and push on I would need to devote some more resources that I am only now turning to

RE: AE AAR
Question for the Squids:
Can Subs launch attacks using only some of their tubes/torps?
For example can a 6 tube Sub only launch 2 fish at a Destroyer rather than a full salvo all the time as it was in WiTP?

Andy,
Should this be Cunderdin?

Most of the time a sub would not waste a full salvo on a tin can. They might fire two because you don't want to p^** off a tin can. [:D] IIRC, they would usually save a full salvo for a BB or a CV.

RE: AE AAR
It would be nice to have something in the combat report to distinct sub surface attacks from submerged sub attacks.
Has anyone see a mine attack or mine hit in this AAR?
Has anyone see a mine attack or mine hit in this AAR?
RE: AE AAR
I have not been mining in this game I have been really focussing on local operations.
The AI didnt mine Canton or Baker or even PM but then it would be hard for it to do so
when I get into the Marshalls or Rabaul I expect to see more

I was told the AI now does offensive mining ops, I would have expected the AI to mine forward bases and conduct some airborne mining.
RE: AE AAR
If the mines are there. Remember that mines are now buildable devices, not just supply points.

RE: AE AAR
One thing the AI will never use like a human is PDU.
If you want the best possible v AI game you will play with PDU off.
We cannot programme the AI to do more than what we tell it to in this regard.
One of th every last actions I will be doing on the enhanced Japan scenario is to try and give the Japanese a ew breaks on upgr4ade paths for things like Nates but I am loathe to do it until the last air build is done

I'm surprised to see Ki-27 Nates still flying in mid 43!
Where are the Ki-61's, I'm not sure I've seen any in this AAR?
Maybe there in the rear but, there are several other Japanese aircraft I would expect to see in mid 43!

In WITP, a mine layer was included (if available) in the initial invasion force, has this changed in AE?
Does the AI conduct airborne mining ops?

In WITP wasn't there two methods for aircraft upgrades?
1. Each aircraft type had a define upgrade path (default).
2. Some specific air groups (squadrons) had a specific aircraft type defined as an upgrade path.
Expample: Ki-27 maybe defined to upgrade to Ki-43's (default) but, specific airgroups may be defined to upgrade to Ki-61's or Ki-44's, etc.

Yes, that's what he said. You can have PDU on or off, as normal.
