Fortunate that the ocean is a big place.

Don't you need specialized equipment to get down to 200m, by the way?

... why are IJN PT Boats worth like ten points and USN ones worth one?

Also wowza.

Every loss the IJN takes is essentially irreplacable, while a loss for the USN is merely a temporary setback

So how is the siege of Chungking going? And how much artillery and tanks do you have there, anyway?

Hey Grey Hunter, do you know where those strat bombers fly from, and have you considered shooting up the place?

What's the forts level in chunkking? And how many artillery pieces and tanks do you have surrounding it? From the looks of it you've brought almost entirely infantry.

Only 4 more fort levels to go! It should get less bloody from now on if you keep the Chinese from rebuilding.

Another lurking question:
Is the US firebombing of Japanese cities implemented in the game?
I’ve understood the nukes are in so...

Yes. I don't know if it's called firebombing per se, but the bombers can target manpower and kill people by the thousands.

Have we been keeping up the bombardment at Chungking, or is that something that should only be done sporadically?

it should be bombarded constantly.

Pretty sure the Helens will just get murdered at this point. Also, we're entering the second half of 1944 soon, so there's still a good chance Grey will simply get overwhelmed.

So when are you going to attack Chungking again? Your troops should have had plenty of rest by now and be ready for round 2.

Did you consider doing some troop bombing in Chungking? Otherwise, the losses don't seem so bad for attacking into level 4 forts, and the Chinese losses are very high.

You should just keep on going, imo.

So, as someone who has never played this game. How/when does losing supply ships hurt you as a player? I see GH is losing a bunch of shipping/tankers but it rarely seems hinder his ability to operate.

It hurts him in the long term. Japan relies on its supply ships to move resources from the places it's conquered to Japan to be turned into useful stuff like planes and tanks. Considering the Japanese economy is already smaller than the US, losing supply ships means you lose your inputs, and your production, and then equipment that gets destroyed can't be replaced and your troops and air force become less effective, etc.

There's also the effect of losing your ability to ship supplies to your troops, but that's less important than losing your economic life line.

Some of Grey's supply have been getting shot up for a while now without being able to do anything against it.

So, what are you going to do with all those weirdly specific Helens? Can you scrap them? Build giant catapaults to hurl them into the air?

Use them for kamikazes.

What have others done to crack Chungking? Why can’t we just firebomb and artillery it to
Death ? Will they surrender at some point?

Someone posted a link to a AAR that accomplished killing chungking with, IIRC, lots of heavy artillery, heavy infantry, engineers and tanks.

Grey was convinced to follow the advice of someone in this thread and spent some time adjusting patrol altitudes and ratios as well as upgrading all the fighters to very capable machines, instead of the aerial mobility scooters he had before

Isn't he still flying zero's though?

The no CAP disaster starts this update and ends the one after that. Grey loses Lexington, Wasp and Hornet to kamikazes because he doesn't have enough planes on CAP

If good CVs come after you piecemeal then it is your duty to send out forces to destroy them. For crying out loud you just lost 25000 men in a day, what's a few airframes and pilots?

If the game goes into 1946 do the Allies get jets? The Gloster Meteor was a thing by then.

The Meteor was actually a thing halfway through '44, though I believe they didn't see service outside of Great Britain until early '45.
