Matrix Games Forums

I have been playing this game since last summer aganst the AI, and I have now been playing my second E mail game for a couple week's now, I am playing MO, and Have had my Japanese Cariers well withen striking distance twice (this last time they were in adachanent hex's) and My CV planes refused to Launch aganst the enemy CV's ( his did launce BTW so I dont think it was the wheather), I had 70% of my force asigned as escort fighters, and all my Air Units on Naval atack only, and I have a lot of CV's in the TF, is his cap to strong is that why?, he only has three CV's, their...This is the first time I have ever sean my CV's not lauch btw.

Check low morale, or high Fatigue. Who is commanding the TF?

Well they havent been flying, so fatigue is not an issue, Moral is good, I will check the Comander.

CVs low on fuel?

Once they were but they had not conducted any flight op's and the cap was set low, so they would not of used much of their avation fuel, or is this tied to their Bunker oil?

The ships need fuel in order to "come up to speed" to launch planes, so if your fuel levels are "in the red", you won't launch.

Well then why in the heck did they dash toward the enemy at full spead, just to not launch, that kinda rubed me raw:)

It is coused by that cowboy spirit of your TF staff (on Japanese side it is kamikaze desire of autodestruction in the name of the emperor). So no matter if you can lounch planes or not, you have CAP or not. You TF is going to attack.
First act than think is the way commanders in UV wrere tought in naval schools.

lol:)
