Surprised no one has claimed it yet but I will claim the cruiser Takao as my lucky ship. Looking forward to seeing how this goes.

Grey when those planes on the Kido Butai are damaged as well as any other planes on carriers are damaged, do they remain damaged until the ships go into port or are they repaired at sea. I am guessing on land they get repaired but I am wondering what it is like for carrier planes?

Congratulations Grey, wishing you, your wife and the little one the best.

Either those cruiser and destroyer captains are horribly lost or they have huge balls. Either way that was highly entertaining to see.

Does the Ai just not have the programming to realise that sending those unescorted bombers in Burma will do nothing more than get them killed? Or is there some sort of remote chance they could slip through and make the constant attempts worth it.

Hmm, I'm thinking about doing some Rule the Wave videos where I play as Germany and give myself one mission.

The Sink The Royal Navy.

It would be fun seeing this, your LPs are always entertaining.

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.

No, it isn't. You have an opportunity to take Noumea.

SHELL THE PLACE FOR WEEKS GRAY HUNTER THIS IS WHAT BOMBARDMENT IS FOR IT GIVES THEM A DISRUPTION PENALTY

like how is it I've never owned or played this game and I understand this while you don't

not tryna be rude just... come on, man

This would be a good plan if only GH had air superiority unfortunately he doesn't and any battleships sent to bombard would face a very likely possibility of being sunk and GH can't afford to lose those battleships.

The army can shell Noumea like he did for 2 days except do it for 2 months instead. Air/naval bombardment would be better, but he's got a huge pile of troops there and after all the effort and fuel spent putting them it's just a gigantic waste to just plow them in after a mere two days of mortar work.

I could be wrong but looking at grey's last update he has 99 guns firing in bombardment while the allies have over 900 doesn't this mean in about 2 months of bombardment grey would have done negligible disruption and damage whilst having most if not all of his guns destroyed/disabled.

My money is on the battleships being really low on ammo. If Grey only left them at Rabaul for one day, it seems very unlikely to me that a force that large could fully rearm.

This and the fact that the enemy fleet sacrificed their transports to use up the battleships ammo, even if we did lose the Musashi the commander of that US fleet, if he is still alive, would have to be dishonorably discharged for that screw up.

I got a question about the following image:



That LST that shows heavy damage is that from the coastal guns firing or is it damage the ship already has? Just asking as it doesn't say it has taken any hits but it still shows heavy damage.

Ouch, thanks for reminding me how hard I got owned.

Well I had probably some of the most fun yet taking part so I enjoyed the whole thing and I think you did quite well as I still fail miserably trying single player in that game.

No my lucky ship. Did the Takao take much damage from that 1000 pound bomb?

My lucky ship :ohdear: tell me the Takeo is going to survive her fight, I didn't see her listed as sunk.

Lol. Yeah, I've never played one of those games, but they are interesting. I don't remember adding that to my wishlist - I think i was looking at it on my phone and must have hit the wrong button.

I'll LP anything you guys want though!

I recently picked it up myself and it is very fun. Third person running around, killing giant and small monsters and carving parts off them to make better weapons. You can also play it offline or make online sessions, if you ever do get it and want help or anything with hunts etc shoot me a PM.

What type of flak guns can hit B-29's? Or are they flying low?

At 23,000 ft guns such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_88_75_mm_AA_gun and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_99_88_mm_AA_gun could hit them. No idea if 23,000 feet is low for a superfortress.

Would bombardment attacks do anything against those troops on the island? You seem to have many more guns than they do,
