Coastal Gun damage during bombard

[undercovergeek]

and the biggest supply sucker is port attack or bombardment?

Always wondered [;)]. Reading the combat reports, I tend to think it is airfield, as the same attacking force tend to cause more runway, service damage and supply damage than port attacks do. However I don't know if port damage suck more supply to get repaired

if i attempt to wipe out all the supplies then - is there a rough time estimate on how long it takes me to work through 6000 supplies - the AI has forts at 6 and building to 7 at 16% but it hasnt moved for days.

With regards to air field attack been the most successful the runway is already at 100% damage and the air base is at 75% surely once they reach 100%i cant take anything else out of these, unless i let them recover and attack again but im trying to get in there asap - i fear the arrival of the 40th div!!

Im on the island already but can always go back a turn and wait - just wondered how long it would take to get rid of that many supplies

Fort levels will not increase as long as there is damage to the port / airport. The speed a which supplies dwindle depends on many factors: how much damage you inflict (both through repairs and from airport/port supply hits), how many units are there and if the units participate to combat. Regarding on whether to keep your units there or not depends on what relative strength you have. If you have good AV vs. the AI and you have sufficient supplies, it will mean that they can't counter-attack and whipe your units. In that case, I would keep them there and launch attacks to accelerate the supply consumption. From my personal (painfull) experience, keep a very close eye on your supply units if you decide to keep them there: I've seen 2 divisions (including a marines division) be completly whiped out by a counter-attack in Truck because I let them run out of supplies [:@]

No one seems to have paid the slightest attention to the absurdity that a few dozen bombs and a bit of strafing on Dec 7th renders the 5 or 6 major airfields on Oahu inoperable for a week or so.

hey, i didnt write it - im just trying to land on Pearl and have some APs leftover after the fight! and if my bombing campaign is to be believed its 80 planes everyday, even if they only drop one bomb thats 560 a week - i would have thought that would make your runway a bit holey
