Against fighters, yes. If you are concerned about bombers (like say, Germany, or Japan), then you need cannons too. Preferably cannons with more than like 120 rounds though.

gradenko_2000 posted:I just wanted to make a small callback to Shattered Sword real quick: the American dive bombers "got through" because the IJN carriers ran out of CAP. The IJN carriers ran out of CAP because the multiple American attacks throughout the day kept coming in dribs and drabs, which meant that Nagumo had to keep choosing between launching more CAP, recovering the CAP that was Winchester, and launching a naval strike with his own bombers. And he kept choosing the first two options. Which meant that contrary to popular belief, the bombers weren't on-deck at all - the flight deck was busy working with the Zeros for precisely the same reasons that allowed Dick Best to score his hits in the first place! Of course, being below decks weren't much of a plus considering the flight decks weren't armored and the... flaws in the carriers design when it came to fire-fighting capability.

Read up on that one, the japanese player seems to be very cruddy at the air game and careless on the sea side of things (at least with convoys), at least from what I can compare with other AARs I've read (some Japanese players are really good).

Basic history education in any country seems to lack any sort of reflection on the "why" part. It's mostly just a snapshot of whatever period of history happened to be considered "important" for the nation in question (30-year war in Swedens case) but not a whole lot on the "why" part. If I remember correctly it was "Look at this MAP, look at HOW loving HUGE SWEDEN USED TO BE, HOLY poo poo and man we were NECK DEEP IN GERMANY WHEN SUDDENLY: FOG! THE KING GOT SHOT, poo poo And then the Great Power time was over  suddenly: RUSSIANS, OH GOD THEY ARE CRAWLING ALL OVER OUR Nevermind getting anything on the pacific. Feels like I've gotten 90% of my history education from Games like this, Paradox stuff and whatever books/indepth documentaries I've found online. Just spending a few days with a CK2 or EUIV game on "observe" mode would probably give you a better grasp of history than years of public schooling.

Comrade Koba posted:All the way up until an insane, homosexual Bulgarian Jew founds the kingdom of Israel on the Baltic coast in 1232 AD, loses a war against the Sultanate of Norway and subsequently converts to Jainism. It really explains everything about modern Europe if you think about it.

CannonFodder posted:Also in the Allied campaign there was a patrol boat that was attacked for a few weeks on some random atoll and kept dodging the bombs the IJN was dropping on it for some weird reason. That sounds familiar...

I hope you feel good about dooming thousands of pixelmen to their deaths with your OpSec breach

That ship loss ratio is looking decidedly ungood for this stage of the war.
