Enjoying your analysis of plane production with PDU-OFF.
My crazy work schedules and trying to keep up a turn a day in two PBEMs means I only get a few hours per week to keep up with my favorite AARs. I wanted to bring up a small note on (2 pages back) comment on Japanese Intel picking up that TF.
In an experiment, I ran 3 or 4 cargo w/escort TFs from Home Islands to destination near Chichi-jima. There I renamed the fleet (task force name) and changed home and destination. Local nav and asw search would report it, sometimes as the 'ghost' type and once or twice as an actual radio int intercept.
In setting up the mid-late game ship TFs for Cap Traps, I would expect that trying to generate radio traffic from the target would encourage aggressive enemy air commanders to commit an attack. Am I crazy, or am I on to something?
Thanks for all the work on the AAR.
I doubt renaming the task force does anything, that is simply bookkeeping for humans. Changing directions, establishing patrols, meeting other task forces...your guess is as good as mine if they get detected by Allied sig int because of it.
