So when do you get to kamikaze? Seems like that'd be a better use for Japanese planes than actually trying to shoot.

Based on somewhat distant memory, I think the requirements are that it has to be 1944, and the Allies have to hold a base within 15 sea hexes of Saigon, Manila, or Tokyo, so not for a while yet.

Why are we losing so many more planes than the Allies anyway?

It looks like the game keeps throwing handfuls of Japanese fighters against larger swarms of Allied planes so Grey is almost always being outnumbered in the air. Plus the un-escorted bombing raids are getting torn to shreds.

also we're fast approaching the point where Japanese airframes are hopelessly outdated compared to those of the Allies. When, if at all, will we get to produce the weird experimental late-war stuff?

   And you guys think I plan terrible invasions!   Another rare Liberator kill.  Luganville is the next Allied target for invasion. They get a whole 500 men ashore.   Time to smash the latest New Zealand folly.  Yeah, no idea about these two.

28 February 1943 Russian minesweeper Gruz, torpedoed by E-boats in the Black Sea. February was pretty light, all things considered.

Where do you see how many men a landing force managed to put ashore? Is it on another screen, other than the ones you are showing? Just curious.

It might make sense for some theaters, but bear in mind that some of the fiercest combat is going on in the South Pacific, which is not notably wintry in February. December, January, and March were all busier as well.

Now that I think of it, why is the IJA still flying Nates against the USAAF and USN in 1943? By now they should have all been withdrawn (as they were historically) and replaced by Oscars armed with the significantly better (but still underwhelming) armament of 2 .50 caliber machine guns, along with better speed, mobility, and durability. The Nate had trouble fighting the Brewster Buffalo (a difficult statement to believe) when the Pacific War broke out.

Because the Japanese industry controls are even more obtuse than the ones for directing ships around.

This, a lot of squadrons don't seem to want to let you change to a slightly more modern formation - you have Nates, then they will upgrade to some 1944 model. there is a button that says "change upgrade path" but it always resets to the default for me. Hence the nateswarms.

  More Kiwis are unloaded to their doom.  We go after their ships.  Hmm, this might mean reinforcements for the enemy.  For you, the war is over.   Enemy torpedoes continue to get more dangerous.  Fighters in air. Not on ground. On ground bad.   This is where things begin to get painful.   Chinese troops enter Sinyang.  One silly invasion down, onto the next!  Looks like we got a sub in revenge!  Back to the old graphs!  We are still commandingly in the lead!  I control more bases than the AI ever did!  The bases are worth more!  While the air losses are climbing at an alarming rate, they are still well below the AI losses, and the gap in losses is much smaller!  Allied losses are higher than last game while my own losses are lower than the Japanese AI! MWAH HA HA!  Again, the AI has lost more ships, but so have I!  We're just murdering them! All in all, a good month, with the hope of just as good a March if we can take Namoua!

Wasn't Sinyang the place where basically Greyverse-Stalingrad happened in his Allied campaign? Also, for those worrying about that force relieving Hankow, the Sinyang defenders should hold. They're in x2 defensive terrain behind level 3 forts.

Sinyang and Kaifeng were both grueling, many-month slogs in the Allied campaign. Sinyang came first, but people remember Kaifeng because it got a catchy nickname.

You call them Kiwis but from the flags they would appear to be Australians. Where are you getting the NZ info from?

Cartoon posted:You call them Kiwis but from the flags they would appear to be Australians. Where are you getting the NZ info from? Flag represents base owner, but the individual units at said base could be from any country. Only way to really know would be to check the unit names during combat or in the log afterwards.
