Thanks ser GP !

I printed this out on "day one" of game playing. [8D]

While I appreciate an "anti sticky" momentum on the main page - frankly there could be more sticky's in "The War Room" in my opinion.

This would certainly be one of them.

The "economics thread as well".

What can we do with Apc? They seem miniature cargo ships without range or much of a cargo capacity.

[LeeChard]

Many details I did not know!

You could try using them for short range, low capacity jobs ... [;)]
I.E. treat them like barges that have troop capacity.

Or in and around island chains....GP

Playing both a DBB (PBEM) and LSTs (vs AI) variants, LST's in particular adds quite a few APcs. I pushed some forward thinking I can use them in the island clusters (e.g. SE DEI, Marshals) for local supply distribution. I do very much like that level of detail in the variant but at times will confess it is tedious bringing them forward.

Feedback to those with the skill and time to mod; may be better to deploy forward, later, vs. starting all in the rear area. But if the choice is to keep them they have to start in the rear areas, I can live with that...

Bump! Excellent post. Very comprehensive.

[Sun Tempest]

has anyone found a real use for AMc class minesweepers?
I find them to be totally useless...

[btd64]

Use them for Local Mine Sweeping missions....GP

Like GP said, form Local Minesweeping TFs. Have them at bases so they will find minefields for you rather than the hard way when a TF comes into port and hits a fresh minefield laid by enemy subs. [:-]

[rms1pa]

the "baby ducks" are wonderful at soaking up attacks on small ports up front. in the rear they will distract mini subs and discourage subs from surfacing to deck gun docked ships.

every shell ,bomb or torpedo expended on an AMc,ML or HDML is one not expended on a high value target.

I don't think it was ever implemented, but I think the developers wanted the the AMc to sit in port, and self sortie if a minefield was laid at the home port.

AMc are incredibly useful for Japan. Don't leave home without them!

This is exactly how to use them. Yes, it works, all you need is to have one in port. It'll activate when needed sweep the minefield and deactivate all behind the scenes.

I remember this from years ago. I just didn't know if I was remembering correctly. Getting old....GP
