Can someone explain how Japanese battleships can sail into Rangoon

[Chryse]

Tiltle says it all. I cannot send a transport of any great size into Rangoon and I certainly cannot send Allied BB's there as well so how do the Japaneses attack ships at sea at Rangoon with BB's?

The message I always get when trying to sail anything sizeable to Rangoon is "task Foce contains ships too large to sail up river"

[xj900uk]

Perhaps Japanese BB's are smaller or have shallower drafts than ALlied BB's?

he can´t even run bigger transports there, which Japanese BB is smaller than an Allied transport?

[AW1Steve]

6,000 yards is 3 nautical miles.That doesn't sound like it's in the harbor to me. Sounds like the BB was just outside shooting in.

[PzB74]

Yep, it says "Near Rangoon" - look at the hex nr and I'm sure its outside the harbour.

Exactly. I do not have any of the larger xAP's in the area currently to give an example but more than once I have had to unload and reload on smaller ships troops headed to Rangoon. I have the CV Indomitable nearby now at 22,600 tons it states it is too large to go up river to Rangoon. That is a relatively small carrier - only has a compliment of 45 planes. Surely a Japanese BB exceeds that.

If it is a matter of draft that would be good to know but since I do not see anywhere where is draft is noted it is difficult to tell. Can any of you who are playing the japanese side tell me if you can sail your BB's into Rangoon or is this just a perk granted AI contolled Jap BB's? Have had the Jap BB's sail in there twice now and attack and frankly it is something I had not thought possible. At least they could have had the decency to hit a mine. [:)]

Yes it says near Rangoon which is proper notation for ships at sea at a base hex. If you check the hex coordinate shown that is the coordinate for the Rangoon hex.

I cannot sail to that hex with large ships. How can the Japanese?

[USSAmerica]

Yep.  I was sure hex 54,53 would be the coastal hex, but it's the hex of Rangoon, 1 hex upriver from the coast.  Seems to be a bug to me.  Chryse, you may want to post about this in the Tech Support forum to see if it's a bug that needs to be addressed or not.

[Don Bowen]

Really not enough information yet. Are you playing against the AI? That sucker cheats. Was Rangoon captured in the turn?

Best thing is to post the save BEFORE that surface combat. Post it in the Tech support thread and someone can check it out. All anyone can do now is guess.

Rangoon not taken. Not even attacked. Just Jap BB's camping in the Rangoon hex. Yes it was against AI.

Figured it was odd.

Interesting result though due to the incident. Had moved the Indomitable/Hermes TF task force to hex 53,50 NW of Rangoon hoping to get a small strike against the camping BB's. They rushed out to intercept Indomitable but unfortuantely for them I had another TF with 3 BB's just SW of the Indomitable and they ran into them instead. A bad day for Japan.

[crsutton]

Well, a quick look at the "amazing" google earth and using the handy measuring tool provided, shows that the docks of Rangoon are about 45 to 50 miles from water deep enough for safe navagation of a large ship. The Yangon River is flat, wide and full of sediment. I could see no channel and doubt that a river like that would could keep a permanent deep water dredged channel for any lenght of time. Obviously your two ML had ventured out to deep waters to intercept any raiding BBs and got caught with their pants down. [;)] As an aside, my subs have been laying mines in the channel and it is now obvious to me that would not have been possible as well.

The game has lots of abstracts that we have to live with. This is just one of many.

I am perfectly fine with abstracts also as long as they apply to both sides. This is not the case here. My guess is that this is an AI issue only but can only guess since I have not yet played the Japaneses side.

As Japan in PBEM, I cannot sail Kirishima to Rangoon. patched current (not that I think that's a factor)

[Cornstar]

I had the exact same thing happening, with worse results , against AI as well. I'll post it in the bug forum, this doesn't seem right.

Are you playing against the AI? That sucker cheats.

I'd personally assumine he is - I know I've had Japanese BBs bombard Palembang (which is similarly upriver) directly when playing the Ironman AI.

(it's actually a terrible idea since the oil wells tend to catch fire, but still)

[ChezDaJez]

Tiltle says it all. I cannot send a transport of any great size into Rangoon and I certainly cannot send Allied BB's there as well so how do the Japaneses attack ships at sea at Rangoon with BB's?

I don't have a problem sending any cargo or transport ships into Rangoon. I routinely send resupply convoys to Rangoon. I just can't dock them if they exceed port capacity.

I've posted it in the tech support section (http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=2710777). Anything over 15k tonnes shouldn't be able to sail up there. Just checked, and I can't move anything up there over 15k tonnes still. And I can't imagine it's a AI cheat, seems a bit silly and unnecessary?

Interesting. I hadn't realized there was a restriction. Just checked myself and I cannot send a BB there. I haven't had any problems sending cargo or transport ships there but that is probably because they haven't exceeded 15k tons.

The AI is capable of teleporting ships for task forces. This is because the AI is not smart enough to think ahead and have them in the right position. Perhaps one of the IJ AI scripts puts capital ships in a task force at rangoon assuming the IJ should hold rangoon at this time.

I don't think he can query the data base and see if rangoon is held first. Ask Andy.
