Can I claim japanese submarine I-8? I'm pretty sure that's what I picked in the last attempt at this. Good luck, grey!

Is Norway stuck in some sort of perpetual 90s geocities hellscape? This campaign seems to be going pretty roughly, but those torpedo bombers gave grey a really hard time last time too

team overhead smash posted:Dude only joins today and after 2 posts gets red text of shame and accompanying avatar. A forum record? Whoever posted this LP on the matrix forums deserves a stern talking to. ANYWAY Imagine my shame when I looked up my lucky ship, the I-8, and realised it was infamous for committing a bunch of war crimes. I only picked it because I thought a sub with a scout plane was dumb and cool

Jobbo_Fett posted:The Germans couldn't even invade Norway without losing a poo poo ton of destroyers and cargo ships, against a country that, by-and-large, refused to believe that Hitler would invade them and were incredibly unprepared. Sure, the Allies helped with Britain providing a lot of naval assets, but assume for a second that they would have to attack a location that brings them much closer to the RN and RAF... and you quickly realize that it wouldn't work without hand-waving a lot of issues such as air support, naval support, supply/logistics, and so on. Isn't fred Norwegian? Maybe he wants Sealion to be a success so he can imagine his country didn't gently caress up. "They totally would've got you too guys  "

Cool, thanks for that. In a similar vein, what is a cruiser? You've got patrol/torpedo boats to sink bigger boats, Destroyers to blow up torpedo boats and submarines in order to protect... Battleships to blow up boats and coastlines with big guns and Carriers to blow up everything (while requiring protection from all other boats) How do cruisers fit into this?

Leperflesh posted:None of that stuff really models things like perfectly healthy ships running aground, being sunk in severe storms, or simply suffering catastrophic shipboard accidents like fires in the ammo store. Any of those can be immediately fatal, as opposed to some gradual accumulation of damage. Sure, but that's not fun. Imagine if you'd played this for months and then your most important battleship blows itself up because of a randomly generated number. This is a game after all.

PittTheElder posted:Jesus Christ, he blows up an aircraft carrier somehow, compared to the actual total combat record of one destroyer and one minesweeper sunk, three destroyers damaged? Then it's announced at the end that pointless suicide attacks are exactly as crazy as the US dropping an atomic bomb? I suspect part of it is the cross over between people who are interested in war and yahoo nationalist redneck idiots, that is true in every country. Your average Japanese person is not super keen to fight another war, anime is just dumb: http://gallup-international.bg/en/P...r-their-country pretty comparable to how american war films are usually hilarious propaganda pieces as well.

As someone who lives in Sydney, this wouldn't be a bad thing.

Keep in mind that industrial tooling that ways 15 tons might physically survive a bomb, but I dunno if it would still be aligned closely enough to produce parts that are within tolerance. Obviously not a problem for the tank road wheel factory, but the aircraft turbine plant is going to suffer.
