sullat posted:Hopefully you don't have to manually order them to tie down the aircraft for rough weather in this game when you are ferrying aircraft. More than that you'd try to figure out why your carriers didn't send up and CAP and it turned out that they all got tied down 2 weeks ago and you never manually unclicked them.

Lord Koth posted:Note that Chokai didn't literally blow up. That's a situation mostly limited to British ships (and Taiho) It's pretty hard to actually sink a ship without a torpedo. There are many ways to make it useless but unless there's a gaping hole below the water line it's not going down quickly. All 5 carries sunk at Midway required a torpedo from a Japanese Submarine to sink.

. Having her launchers explode just caused extensive damage to the middle of the ship and, most crucially, knocked out her engine and steering. That combined with taking a 500 lb bomb a few minutes later (and the IJN fleet leaving) basically made her unrecoverable though.

pthighs posted:Wouldn't the accuracy of a bomber be more about the bombsight and unrelated to the plane itself? Bombsights are basically way too precise for what normal atmospheric conditions are. The Norden bombsight would allow you to land a bomb in a cardboard box but only in 1 out of a 100 days in the desert with zero wind or temperature inversions ground to 10,000 ft.

I feel like it gets target fixation sometimes and if you can sink/beat back the first invasion force they'll just send reinforcements forever.

I guess it's also worth noting that the allies also developed RF countermeasures that would prematurely detonate proximity fuses so their value might have been mitigated in a war where both sides robustly understood their mechanism.
