Whomever was in command of that IJN TF should be fired. [:D]

[VI66_slith]

Wow! Those were the only hits scored on your PT force? Holy PT BOAT!

[Primal Fury]

Well, if this is not proof that PT boats are mis-modeled, I don't know what is. There's no way they could touch this TF during daylight. Still, congratulations on damaging Akagi.

pt boats are way overpowered in this game [X(]

[siRkid]

Has anyone seen my can of worms? I think I've dropped it someplace.[X(]

[WiTP_Dude]

This is absurd... time to rework the code a bit.

[Drongo]

Now you've done it Kid.

[Fallschirmjager]

Looks like daytime too. Thats just insane. I could see maybe getting a suprise torpedo attack during the night. But with those DD's and CL's no way the PT's would even get close.

[SunDevil_MatrixForum]

Well chalk up a victory for Japan. When the devs get done with the changes to the PT boats, their only use will be for fishing. [:)]

[Primal Fury]

Limiting the range of torpedos on PT's to 1000 or 2000 yds would make them have to survive gunfire for quite a while before getting close enough to attack. But they still might get lucky at night.

Of course you must understand:

These are the new SUPER STEALTH INVISIBLE KILLER PT Boats.

[Fallschirmjager]

MK 9 Torpedos are listed with a range of 22,000 feet outranging most guns. But how the hell often would you hit anything with them? It would take half the day to cover that range.

[MadDawg]

I think that the main problem here is that the combined firepower of 8 destroyers, 1 light cruiser, 7 heavy cruisers and 6 carriers managed to hit one PT boat once during a daying attack. This seems to be similar to the problem to when we see a group of warships attacking a group of unloading AP's and only hitting 2-3 ships whilst the remaining ones contine to unload.

For whatever reason people seem to have an emotional affectionate feeling towards PT boats, but, in reality, they didn't accomplish all THAT much in the war, and I suspect the same money spent on destroyers or DEs would have been a better expenditure of money.

[Tenzan]

wow-Is that reproducable?

Looks like PT boats 'slipped through the cracks' code-wise...

[SunDevil_MatrixForum]

I am not that emotionally attached to them, just thought I would play devil's advocate. I agree that these results should not of happened, and also concur that the routine to determine what ships get attacked in a naval conflict needs to be looked at again.

[JohnK]

I was speaking more of, well, the country as a whole, not you specifically

[von Murrin]

I'd like to see something like this happen again before we nerf the PT's. I haven't see wonky results from either PT's OR subs. My thinking is that Kid should've opted to play the lottery over WitP tonight.[;)]
