RE: Do You Feel Lucky Punk? Empire101 vs DirtyHarry (No Dirty Harry please)
Well you get a combat report at the end of any engagement, although they are subject to Fog Of War, so are not 100% reliable.
What is cool about WitP AE is that you also see the combat unfold before your eyes, so you see the columns of water that signify near misses, explosions, smoke, planes going down, torpedoes finding their targets etc, so its all very exciting.
With regards to say the Pearl Harbour strike, some ships that are reported sunk may not be, they could be seriously damaged, but can over time be repaired and return to the fray.
The other player may not find this intel out for weeks or even months, so combat reports have to be treated with a modicum of scepticism.
The reverse is also true. You could for example slam a couple of torpedoes from a sub into a ship, but not have the sinking confirmed for several weeks.
Its a very exciting game!![8D]

Okay thanks - just so you know, I've played The Coral Sea..but that is as far as I got.
So what I am trying to understand is what kind of intel do you get to confirm what you've done. So you think Maryland is a gonna - but how do you find out?
Now Maitland, now's your time!

Ok so if we take USS Maryland:-
BB Maryland, Bomb hits 7, Torpedo hits 4, and is sunk
4 Torpedo hits is usually fatal to most ships, so we can assume that Maryland was probably sunk, at the time of the strike on the 7th December 1941.
As time goes on, the US will admit the loss of the ship ( you can't keep it quiet forever ), and the score will be adjusted and Marylands 'scalp' will be added to your enemy ships sunk report.
If however we look at USS Tennessee:-
BB Tennessee, Bomb hits 8, Torpedo hits 2, heavy fires, heavy damage
Now we could have got lucky with those two torpedoes, one may have set off a magazine explosion, but we just don't know, so I'd put this BB down as severely damaged, and will probably turn up later in the war after its damage is sorted out.[:(]
But if it was sunk, we could get a confirmation the next day, or several months down the line.
FOW can be so infuriating at times!![:D]
