Looks like I destroyed a few more swordfish than I thought with that paratrooper attack.[:)]

Jan 13, 1942

Caught one...

No Allied fighters protecting Singers, rather the Allies sweep Palembang with Lightnings, and send out several heavily escorted bomber attacks...sinking one 7 point xak.

Allied troops at Attu!

Complete victory at Denpasar.[:)]

A catastrophic failure happened while the Yamashiro was heading for repair yesterday...she is now making for a dot base to pump out 30 points of counter flooding.

Scary stuff...as the flooding did grow this day.

Hopefully she will make it.

Air losses for the day...

With 35 sys damage it'll be a real dice roll. How good is the captain's nav skill?

She won't repair at the dot base, to my knowledge. I tried it with a ship of my own a while back. You need to get her to an actual port, or get some naval support there. Or an AR.

There is an AR in her task force. Plus it is one hex closer to Jolo that does have naval support and is the largest port in the area.

I missed the AR in the TF. You know it doesn't do anything in there, right? Although I guess if you were moving it with her... [;)].

Is this one of those mods where you get a lot more of the little utility ships? For some reason I thought you were playing a DBB variant?

It is DBB, I only have two AR right now. Making quite a few more or will.

A few naval battles east of Batavia...

During the morning we close on the destroyers...they were escorting Achilles back...but she is damaged in the tiny port of Cheribon ... which got visited by bombers but they failed to plant any bombs on her.

A CM lays a small minefield overnight at Denpasar, and is attacked twice by subs and even hit once...but the American torpedo fails to explode.

Sambas falls near Kuching...

I fail to take a squadron of Oscars off sweep and they are hit hard by the Allied fighter cap over Singers (includes Lightnings).

I seriously doubt the Argonaut went down...I seriously doubt any sub went down, but I will take a hit.

Odd, I sent orders to make for Tapui, but they end up here instead. I won't complain since they reduced the flooding a bit, and are in port somewhat safe with an undamaged AR to assist in repairs.

Yamashiro crew heard about the famous Tawi Tawi exotic dancers, so while the support and AR ship staff are filling her holes, seamen thought about filling some holes, themselves. All in the name of spreading the Great East Asian Co-Prosperity spirit, of course.
In comparison, Tapui is said to have half a bowling lane and a ping-pong table.

From the repair estimate listed... change her to Repair Ship, my friend.

You know, I thought once I bounced the other ships out of port...then her pierside would improve...but that is not the case, and repair ship is indeed the best option.

Lok, do you ever get tired of being correct?[;)]

No ships in port...

Repair ship mode is needed only when you want to give the full focus of an AR to a specific ship, useful mostly for ARDs, when you might want that ship XX gets all the float repair capability

EDIT: added mode, repair ship mode, just to highlight I am not taking about the value of an AR

I would had focused on Oi first, as Yamashiro is really out of the war until sometime in mid to late 43 regardless
