I've seen this mentioned in a previous thread many moons ago. To always loose 1 knot of speed on the first point of Sys Dam is IMHO 'a bad design decision'. The effects of sys dam should be gradual - minor things tend to breakdown before the engines do...
for instance -
1 = deckhouse port side water-tight door hinge bent
2 = light in forward heads not working
3 = ice cream machine packs up
4 = someone broke the pot to the wardroom coffee machine
5 = rattle to starboard shaft bearings - reduce revolutions
etc

Nope, Cowlphins. Much faster.

Did they mass produce them Mynok? At a place called Fabertong right?

As I suspected. Probably on the same scale of production as Huls Rubber plants in Germany........

Thanks for confirming how the Japanese conducted their amphib assaults Mynok [8D][;)]

Did they get the source code or was it all junked?

They wrote in the german game magazine that the source codes were handed over the codes. But so far, no new news, tha article is about 12-15 months old. [:(]

Hi, The largest Japanese problem was power plants so thats why they suffer speed reductions most often. They have engine problems more often then they fall apart from rust. You just have to figure their speed as 9 and not 10 and go from there. (pretty much just figure all ships at 1 kt slower then listed)

Russ, I believe that all ships, allied and japanese, suffer an immediate loss of a knot of speed with the first point of system damage. I plan around that, and worse, damage - but I feel that it's a little early in the accumulation of damage to suffer that amount of speed loss. Just a personal feeling, not a major gripe...

I agree. I don't really like it, but live with it. It's just something to live with and factor into plans.
