The perfect PH Raid
After finishing my class for the year, I updated to the latest beta patch, found myself an opponent for Scenario 1, & awaited the inevitable.

But hey, it will keep the repair yards open!

RE: The perfect PH Raid
Good lord, man. I suggest you open the "ship availability" screen and scroll down to late 1943 and 1944. Might improve morale after that pasting...

RE: The perfect PH Raid
And to rub salt in the wound, in exchange for all that devastation your flak only brought down one lousy Kate.

Looks very ahistorical.

RE: The perfect PH Raid
Wanted to chip in and cheer you up with the fact your repairyards would stay open for business. You already figured that out yourself so there's nothing left to lift your spirit. Hopefully the RN is in a better shape so you'll have at least a few heavy surface ships left in the IO.
RE: The perfect PH Raid
Yeah, it will make things less stressfull since I won't have to juggle repair yard numbers [:'(]

RE: The perfect PH Raid
Those Catalina losses will hurt though

I cannot remember who is was, but someone a few months ago posted a thread about how his Pearl Harbor fleet was hardly scratched. Boy, he was happy! [:D]

RE: The perfect PH Raid
I guess everybody was at breakfast since there were only 28 casualties. Too bad we don't track "ship crew squads lost" when a ship goes down.
RE: The perfect PH Raid
wow that is the most destructive Pearl Harbor raid I have ever seen. Erm... think of the fuel you will save?
RE: The perfect PH Raid
Wow. That is a JFB dream and an Allied Nightmare.

That is as bad as it gets. You are a hard luck case! I have just made a mental note never to get on the same airplane with you....[;)]

I noticed that as well. I would have expected these numbers to be higher. There was a lot of base damaged logged. I'll have to look through AAR's & see, this is my 1st time with the new beta patch.

In our 2x2 that happened to us. I don't think we lost a ship. [:)]
RE: The perfect PH Raid
It's all a roll of the dice. In your case, you rolled very badly.Go buy a rabbit's foot or something. [:D]
RE: The perfect PH Raid
At least when you start your offensive to take back the pacific, you will have all new ships [;)]
RE: The perfect PH Raid
My worst start I had every BB,CA,CL and major aux sunk, then lost both the Enterprise and Lexington groups the next turn! (they turned into each other). And to add insult to injury I even lost Halsey![:(]

I've got orders to add chrome...lotsa chrome [:D]
I'm still curious about the light casualties. Am I missing something, or is this normal? Seems really, really light considering.
