These DDs are build for surface action. note the torp tubes and lack of ASW.

A look at the Chinese fleet: Sid said something about river supply being more effective than road supply.

Different OOB at Hong Kong. Probably more historical. I also note the chinese army is organized w/ all corps close to group HQs.

These DDs are build for surface action. note the torp tubes and lack of ASW.
Somewhat typical of between the wars US design philosophy - some had more guns -
some even more torpedoes - but the invention of sonar and the US idea of bigger than
world standard DC was thought to be adequate for ASW. These ships fire three patterns -
typical of early ships with only a secondary ASW role - each containing big DC. The
effect of the pattern - as well as its probability of a hit - is statistically calculated. Japanese
destroyers are remarkably similar at this point - also with heavy gun and torpedo armament
and only three DC patterns - but they are smaller DC even less likely to damage. DC
attacks mostly will damage submarines - not kill them. Death comes from cumulative damage,
as a rule - although hitting a mine or being torpedoed or shelled on the surface will get it
done in one shot.

Sid, question about allied industrial repair. Could you please explain why half the USA is damaged? At this rate i will have to turn off allied repair and selectively reactivate what I can afford.

Sid, how do u explain a Soc Seagull w/ a range of 10?
Well - you do see its transfer range is more than twice that?
Unlike most planes, the Seagul flies very low - and if it wants range - it can fly
with "ground effect" -
the champion is probably the Walrus - but there is a similar German plane on the Allied
side - the Russian Val - and the ancient E10 is very similar -
note in test game 4A I just had a clear case of an E10 spotting ships at night
a relic from before radar, it is designed to fly all night (from a CL) and track target ships
and I invented "night vision glasses" for it - but it is the first time I saw them work!
You have to look it up in Japanese Aircraft 1910-1941

What is the mark 10 mod 11 ?
Good catch!
It is UNIQUE to this class.
Argonaut is a gigantic, specialized minelayer - and this mine is for her (alone).
It was beleived this kind of mine - paired with standard ones - would be very hard to sweep.
But it was NEVER used.
The Argunaut was converted to a transport - the very first upgrade does that - and you lose these
mines. It was decided to go with TT launched rather than special stern launched mines using
special tubes. I think it was a mistake - don't convert her - lay mines with her!
She participated in the famous Makin Island Raid as a sort of amphibious ship - with six inch guns!
