Well being lazy and not wanting to read through the manual too much and since most of you have this in your heads, whats the best forward set up for my subs to arm w/ Torps and maybe do some non major repairs as well?

Lets say in a LvL 4, LvL 5 and LvL 6 size ports is what I have in mind.
1) If I read correctly I need at least an AS tender and will more than one in port matter?

quote:



2) Also I take it I need an HQ w/ Torps available within range or same hex, does it matter?

quote:



3) As well as a BF/Support type LCU with Nav Support of a certain amount depending on port size?

quote:



4) In so far as repairs I assume all of the other support ships for the most part will assist in repairs like the AR, ARD, AD, AVD, etc?

quote:



5) Will having an AKE or AE matter at all for Subs?

quote:



6) What's the best set up???

Thanks in advance!

Allied forward sub bases - one of each depending on your warplan / possessions.

Attu / Adak / Dutch Harbor
Midway / Wake
Suva / Noumea
Townsville / Cairns / Cooktown / Port Moresby
Darwin / Koepang

And of course, as the allies advance, put one near the front of the axis of advance with AR, ARD, and AS. AD AKE also advisable.

Here's my problem and why I was wondering if I was missing something. Have a size 6 Port at Darwin w/ two AS's and Nav Support currently at 100 by a LCU along with many other support ships. Have an Air HQ w/ Torps equipped/set to 150. Have approx 78k in Fuel & Supply.

My Problem is that currently and for the last 4 turns the supply guys have failed to arm 6 subs, my CV TF of one CV/Avenger Sqd and three other Torp capable Air Sqds on the AF...??? No change in the Torp status in 4 days for any of them! I have disbanded and regrouped my TF's and tried the replenish buttons via sea & port also to no avail.

My Tenders are all docked in Port which I assume as it should be?

I was looking in the manuals' "Rearm Table" on pages 287 & 288 respectively wherein it shows the "Port plus Nav Suppt" required to rearm the diff weapon types which I assume would be a situation with a Port w/ no Aux Support type ships such as the AS in regard to Torps? I was going to add another Nav Support LCU to get the value up to 200 plus, however not sure it will make a differance with the Torp situation?

I can send my Boats and CV's to Brisbane, PH, West Coast, Columbo and they arm just fine with Torps?

Also can't seem to get mines to load up as well, the I assume there is a limit to how many can be in play at once?

Anyway would appreciate any thoughts on this!

Thanks,

I would try making a TF With your AS and load supplies, sometimes my AKE (for example) which I use to rearm Battleships and carriers, run out of supplies in a Base that has 200k supplies and doesn't automatically load.

Second situation is possibly the AS already used up its OPs for a day, it can only do 1000, once it reaches close you have to wait to re-arm.

Carriers need an AKE to re-arm in a port, However I've been able to re-arm a carrier in size 5 port on my smaller carriers, you have to check the tonnage. Possible scenario is, if they docked and loaded fuel, then they need another turn to load planes/bombs - sometimes takes up to 1-3 turns to load everything depending how much OPS you use.

Not sure on mines - never used them or had any use.

The AS has to be disbanded in port, not docked in a task force. And, the AS has to have supply loaded.

It does have to have supply, but it can be in a TF or in port - depending on the replenish option used. For "Replenish from Port" and for auto sub ops, it must indeed by in the port. But it can still function in a TF if "Replenish at Sea" is selected.
