Shouldn't the Baby Hunter also have leadership(+) and experience(-) ? And I hope Grey have morale(+). Congratulations Grey on the baby! It will be horrible at times, but it is very much worth it.

Shouldn't those battleships be so wrecked above the waterline that they are useless in combat? And 250 kg SAP bomb, that is semi-armor piercing, right? Do the game model penetrations through turret roofs and the following detonations? Final question, how long would it take to repair a ship if you have to replace the whole turret due to a penetration bomb going off inside, but not detonating the magazines? Grey, keep up the good work! And how is baby Hunter going?

Do the old thread still exist? I know about the version on lparchives, but it doesn't include all the comments that the thread contains. I have archives if it matters.

OpenlyEvilJello posted:The only historical warship loss for 26 September 1942 was in European waters: Escort Destroyer HMS Veteran ate a torpedo in the North Atlantic and went down with all hands as well as perhaps 80 survivors of merchant ships. Yes, I enjoy hearing about historical warship losses, please continue

Cantorsdust posted:Can anyone explain to me why we are losing so many men in the Hankow attacks when our raw AV outnumbers them almost 2 to 1 and our adjusted AV outnumbers them almost 3 to 1? Terrain modifiers. Assaulting for example a mountain or a city is expensive and hard. Especially when there is 80 thousand soldiers with nothing to loose defending it.

That is a H, not a R. But the concept is very orkish, I agree. Enjoying the LP Grey, thank you for keeping up with it. Grey Jr is adorable, nice job on him as well. Dunno-Lars fucked around with this message at 19:19 on Apr 18, 2017 |

Japanese carriers don't sink, they are superior to the fragile tubs that the Americans call carriers. We all know this. No Japanese carriers will ever sink. Whoever says otherwise will get a job in the mountains, grooming grass. Or participate in a banzai charge in Alaska.

Grey Hunter posted:I'm not as anal as last time. I can't afford to be. I'm currently being kicked in the head by a nearly 2 year old. That really puts this Let's Play into perspective for me. I remember when HunterBaby were born. It was not that long ago. With kids of my own, I know time goes faster and faster as the kids get older and older. Might be the same with Let's Plays? Keep it up Grey, you are doing a great job!

Those were really good in Silent Hunter 3. Just launch a bunch of them into a convoy and sink stuff. Mostly the destroyers. But they were fun to use.

Did you Chunking AV just drop by 50% after that glorious banzai charge yesterday? Cause if so, sounds like you should drive a cruiser or something up there, the navy will take care of this since the army clearly can't.

They can't be much more considering they were obliterated by a 25mm AA shell.

Glad to chip in a bit on the fundme, and seconding the whole "Spend some on you and the wife" . There is plenty. Maybe a toyboat for Grey Jr. All the hours you have spent on LPs that I have read, I wouldn't mind if you spend the money on Skittles or whatever.

Leperflesh posted:Casualty reports are subject to fog of war though, right? So isn't this more a case of the Japanese pilots reporting way more men in the water than there really are? You mean the Army pilots, right? No Navy pilot would make any mistake. Yes, fog of war is a thing. And some of the casualties might be picked up by other boats and such. Even tanks I believe?

OpenlyEvilJello posted:10 November 1944 Just want to make you all aware of this. It went boom. Big boom. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Mount_Hood_(AE-11)#Disaster quote:The largest remaining piece of the hull was found in the trench and measured no bigger than 16 by 10 feet (5 by 3 m). No other remains of Mount Hood were found except fragments of metal which had struck other ships in the harbor and a few tattered pages of a signal notebook found floating in the water several hundred yards away. No human remains were recovered of the 350 men aboard Mount Hood or small boats loading alongside at the time of the explosion.

Is it possible to send the savegame in to the developers and ask them to either fix the bug, or fix the savegame? With such a niche product, I would expect superb customer service.

Should the Japanese run around with surface raiding groups in 1945? Please keep it going Grey, I want to see the end of this. Where they will drop the nukes.

Omobono posted:I probably was unclear. I meant, as a dev/playtester; the "you" was a generic you. That will just make sure the script works in those scenarios. Remember that the scripts have to take into consideration everything else that has happened. Taking a base in 1942 might stop the AI from doing something in 1945, like in the current Grey game. Except taking a base means taking a lot. Making AI is hard, making AI for a game with this depth must be nearly impossible. Here is a interesting video on how the Age of Empires 2 AI thinks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-S1CkfzEHSU Much simpler game, yet still a lot to think about. I might also just be talking out of my rear end, if anyone want to correct me, please do.

CoffeeQaddaffi posted:The Allied sub script appears to be for Operation Starvation, the blockading of the Home Islands with the aim of starving the Japanese into submission instead of having to invade. The effects OTL were felt into the 1950s, even after a concerted effort by the US to try to reverse them. How was it felt? Seems simple to me, just use all those Liberty ships to make up for what you sunk. But I bet it's not that simple.

You don't need more then 12 planes to combust and explode, and whatever the V stands for.

8 aircraft is a rather symbolic amount though. Did they just stick a flight deck on a freighter, and still used it as a freighter as well?

Magni posted:That's probably faster than trying to fix the old one. 54 hits on the runway itself from 8-, 14- and 16-inchers? That runway must look like something out of WWI pictures of Verdun or the Somme. There won't be a lot of duds and delay-fuzed bombs hiding around though, so they can start bulldozing faster. I think.

I'm curious about those super long-range bombers. Wouldn't flying from Australia to Japan enable the Japanese to intercept the bombers at several points? Or just navigational errors, engine failures, so many points of failure. Or am I underestimating the competence of 1945 aircrews and airplanes?

Can I make a suggestion that you savescum the Pearl Harbour 2: Pearl Harder strike to make sure it at least launches _any_ strike against PH? So if it's intercepted before it even have a chance, save scum that. We have all been waiting for this for way to long for it to end anti-climatically. Fair enough if it's Pearl Harbour itself that sinks you though. Or if it's a good battle.
