algebra testes posted:What is the in game result of invading Japan? Lots of dead troops? The Japanese don't get the same kind of free armies that the US does (if there's a Japanese landing on the mainland US, Patton and the third army spawn to kill it) so the Japanese player would have to move a bunch of his armies to defend VPs and his critical industry. It would be game over really fast if he lost enough of that, and the US has powerful armies that the Japanese have to stop in the naval part of the war.

Why they would bother with bat-bombs when they had regular old firebombs, who knows. Allied incendiary bombing is one of those subjects no one really likes to talk about.

I guess you just have to fight like a bastard to hang onto that oil, protect the shipping lines, and stop US forces from making it over.

Have you considered, and this may be a radical idea, not flooding your overtaxed sea supply lines with hungry new soldiers?

Duckaerobics posted:This isn't really the place for it, but those ships are a clusterfuck in a bunch of ways. The manufacturer is currently being sued because they had workers use giant circular saws to cut metal even the though the saw manufacturer says specifically not to do that. It has led to a bunch of people losing fingers/hands/arms, but is faster than doing it the right way. Any time you see big corrosion problems post launch or a lot of injuries on the job, it's a clear sign of a corner-cutting and poorly-managed company. Sacrificial anodes are nothing new, and the grand fix Austal announced for their third ship was to actually use them.

Saint Celestine posted:How the gently caress are they hitting a patrol boat with level bombing from that high up? Is some game setting different or what? I think it has to do with how witp does hit chances; I'm relatively sure that just dropping a lot of bombs give an unrealistically high chance of a hit on almost anything.

Acebuckeye13 posted:More than that, the T-34 was a tank designed around mass production, and the Soviets were ruthless about cost-cutting. Each individual tank didn't have to be a world-beater, they just had to be good enough-and even the earlier ones were let down more by logistical failures and poorly trained crews than they were by design flaws. The Panther, by contrast, was just far too expensive of a tank to have the design flaws that it did. The T-34 was indeed designed for manufacturability, though it was a high performer first -- it completely changed the face of armored warfare and nothing the Germans had could stand up to it. It was nothing like the Sherman, though -- while a Tiger took 300,000 man hours to produce and a T-34 took about 40,000 (with the usual wildly ranging figures common to Soviet record keeping) a Sherman took just 10,000. Albert Khan, the architect who designed those production lines was a goddamn mastermind.

The Allied strategy is clear: throw wave after wave of liberty ships into your guns to absorb all available ammo before you can hit anything worthwhile.

I still don't know where the whole human wave idea came from. The Soviets were very competent mechanized warfare experts. There's a whole mountain of paperwork they generated during the war, it's a fascinating read.

PittTheElder posted:The lack of land based air striking against naval threats has been odd. Never played this game, but IRL one of the big justifications for having carriers in the first place was to counter the land based air advantage an adversary would have in a Pacific conflict. And that keeps never happening. This happened in real life - American air strikes, sweeps, and lrcap really hammered Japanese airfields, and the construction of a major airfield was considered a large enough threat to prompt the entire Guadalcanal campaign. Between that, overextension (or simply a failure to properly concentrate force), the unneeded transferring of land based air groups back to the home islands early in the war, and pilot attrition, Japanese land based air was never as effective as it could have been.

It's like you have to sacrifice a chicken every time you want a concerted airstrike. How hard - and I mean genuinely hard - would it be for the game to let you just click on a target and drop a pin on the map that said "if you're in range, fly here and kill everything you see"?

overmind2000 posted:I wonder what the takeaway from the eternal struggle over Manus will for the US Army? Be more like the IJA and use less tanks? Clearly, the tank exists to fill the role of an armored beachhead defense platform. In the future, we will develop self-entrenching mobile bunkers to make our footholds unassailable.

Absolutely nothing Grey has can stop the Red Army. Although he's far, far exceeded the historical performance of the IJA, the Soviets still executed a double pincer over an area the size of western europe in less than two weeks.

MacArthur is one of those guys where it's hard to decide how to feel about him. He screwed the pooch a lot but he also was right about a lot of stuff. He was notably not racist compared to his contemporaries, so that's a point in his favor, and he didn't like the idea of level bombing cities (because it was stupid, wasteful, and useless) and was gentle with civilians, so that's another. He handled the occupation well. But, he was a shameless self promoter and he constantly tried to end run the president which is a big loving deal. He was audacious and willing to take risks, but those risks got him into trouble when he ran away with himself.
