Something else that has my mind wagging is the new ability to change my light bombers to medium bombers in beta 1108q8a. There are 20 air groups of light bombers (414 total) already on the board. I'm just invisioning 20 additional air groups of Sally-IIa smashing China & the DEI... Bwa-ha-ha-ha!

But this really gives Japan the ability to focus on a much stronger strategic bombing campaign. I have to ponder this for a bit as I might want to make some changes to my air production schedule.



Remember to keep at least one unit of each of the old models on the map. Manchuoko is a good location. That way you can downgrade at the end of the war and expend all the airframes in the pool as kamikazes.


Huh? Why wouldn't I be able to just downgrade to a different airframe? I thought I read that as long as I don't have over 100 AC of a model they stay in the pool. If there is over 100 then it converts them into points or something - right?

TTFN,

Mike



You're referring to 13.8 Japanese Scrapping of Excess Aircraft.

You take the max ready values of all air units using a particular plane (including any reinforcement groups not yet on the map but due to come in at some point). If the number of planes of that type in the pool is greater than 99, then the computer automatically scraps all planes in excess of ten times the max ready value of all air groups using the plane - but always leaves at least 99 in the pool.

1 resource point for each engine is added to Osaka for each plane scrapped.



In practice it's hard to get to a situation where aircraft are scrapped.

Let's take those light 1E bombers that start - about 400 of them.

You'd need to have over 4,000 of them in the pool to have them scrapped.

Let's say you only leave one daitai using a specific light bomber - say 24 - then if you have anything over 240 of that plane type in the pool, it gets scrapped.

Conversely, if you have no daitai using them, your pool will be limited to 99.

So, as Mike says, keep one daitai of each light bomber hidden away somewhere so that you can maintain a large pool of these 1E bombers without them being scrapped for use as kamikazes later in the war.

Are you referring to the parachute assault question?

Status: offline 		No. That one was answered. My statement was incorrect. The AV is not halved. My new question is the validity of this statement:

"Remember to keep at least one unit of each of the old models on the map. Manchuoko is a good location. That way you can downgrade at the end of the war and expend all the airframes in the pool as kamikazes."

I believe that if there are no air units on map or in the reinforcement queue for a certain model, you can not "downgrade" an air unit back to that model. It's not in the manual anywhere though that I could find.

Status: offline 		I've never tested it.

To be on the safe side, I'd keep a daitai of each though.

My planning is as follows:

Produce enough Sallies to swop out all IJAAF daitai stocked with the 1E bomber death-traps at the start.

Retain a unit with each 1E bomber, set to "do not upgrade" and move them to a rear area, overstock them with pilots to conduct training to specifically focus on LowN skill.

Once kamikazes come round, you will have (hopefully) some decent kamikaze pilots and some very large replacement pools for those squadrons.

One way to use the 1E bombers in a useful manner!

Incidentally, call me anal, but I detest using IJAAF planes in an ASW role - which is what most use the 1E IJAAF bombers for.

NOTES:
- So units in China are manuvering about to take care of garrison duties while trying to free up larger INF, Arty, & Engineer units to push back the Chinese.
- My push in the PI is just starting but will probably be done on a shoe-string.
- My production of Aircraft & ships looks good. I'm chewing on adding 100 pointsto naval construction...
- I've got all of my restricted air groups training now
- I've identified air support groups and AA to move nto the pacific to help support my goals over there. I no longer have PP points...
- Operations in Malaya are underway. I'm just gunna plow from north to south w/o any fancy landings to try and cut off troops.
- I'm still tweaking my search aircraft patterns. Recon and Naval search are a much higher priority in this game.
- My para-units are off for Kuching. I've identified other support units with the hope of running a para-drop from Borneo to Palembang within 2-3 weeks. If I drop all three para-units tha should be good unless Chris has heavily reinforced it - yes?

TTFN,

Mike

No. That one was answered. My statement was incorrect. The AV is not halved. My new question is the validity of this statement:

"Remember to keep at least one unit of each of the old models on the map. Manchuoko is a good location. That way you can downgrade at the end of the war and expend all the airframes in the pool as kamikazes."

I believe that if there are no air units on map or in the reinforcement queue for a certain model, you can not "downgrade" an air unit back to that model. It's not in the manual anywhere though that I could find.


Thanks for looking into this 4 me. Just curious - who do you ask these types of questions to - Andy?

TTFN,

Mike

Something else that has my mind wagging is the new ability to change my light bombers to medium bombers in beta 1108q8a. There are 20 air groups of light bombers (414 total) already on the board. I'm just invisioning 20 additional air groups of Sally-IIa smashing China & the DEI... Bwa-ha-ha-ha!

But this really gives Japan the ability to focus on a much stronger strategic bombing campaign. I have to ponder this for a bit as I might want to make some changes to my air production schedule.



Remember to keep at least one unit of each of the old models on the map. Manchuoko is a good location. That way you can downgrade at the end of the war and expend all the airframes in the pool as kamikazes.


Huh? Why wouldn't I be able to just downgrade to a different airframe? I thought I read that as long as I don't have over 100 AC of a model they stay in the pool. If there is over 100 then it converts them into points or something - right?

TTFN,

Mike



You're referring to 13.8 Japanese Scrapping of Excess Aircraft.

You take the max ready values of all air units using a particular plane (including any reinforcement groups not yet on the map but due to come in at some point). If the number of planes of that type in the pool is greater than 99, then the computer automatically scraps all planes in excess of ten times the max ready value of all air groups using the plane - but always leaves at least 99 in the pool.

1 resource point for each engine is added to Osaka for each plane scrapped.



In practice it's hard to get to a situation where aircraft are scrapped.

Let's take those light 1E bombers that start - about 400 of them.

You'd need to have over 4,000 of them in the pool to have them scrapped.

Let's say you only leave one daitai using a specific light bomber - say 24 - then if you have anything over 240 of that plane type in the pool, it gets scrapped.

Conversely, if you have no daitai using them, your pool will be limited to 99.

So, as Mike says, keep one daitai of each light bomber hidden away somewhere so that you can maintain a large pool of these 1E bombers without them being scrapped for use as kamikazes later in the war.


Ahhhh - thanks for explaining this to me. I had thought that if I went over 100 AC and they weren't in production the remainder were sucked off. This makes much more sense now for gathering the late-war kamakazi force.


TTFN,

Mike

Thanks. In my game with Nemo I had pretty good sub action too. I'm pretty sure that detection levels from search aircraft inhance the chances of successful sub encounters with enemy shipping (of course I have to have subs in the area to vector in - lol). That's part of the reason why I'm builidng recon/search AC with the long legs.

JWE has been a good resource for me also. He's been real good about helping me get into the extended map with this mod.

I'm really looking 4ward to seeing another update come out with Michaelm's beta changes. I'll have to update the user's manual heavily but it'll be worth it!


TTFN,

Mike

Well there are no Jeans on the map nor are there any in the reinforcement queue but I can upgrade my TB air groups to this model so I would say that this myth is busted.

I am 99% sure that this is true. Also to scrap planes you need to have more than 99 in pool.
So if you have 70 planes they will be never scraped even if you do not have units using them

Mke is concerned about not having planes go to scrap (for one resource each) that he is trying to bank for late game kami's. Ideally, all of those Val's and Kate's you start with, you want to be able to keep. Its several hundred planes each depending upon losses.

CL Oi
Crew Exp – Day/Night: 70/68
Captain Morishita, Nobue
LDR/INSP: 57/56 - 62N/35L/36A/33Admn/65Aggress

0530 12.9.41
The Oi had made excellent time and was the first ship of the newly designated task force to arrive at Amami Oshima. Captain Nobue Morishita watched as his bridge crew called out orders for docking procedures. Everything was crisp and professional, just as things should be.

As soon as the Oi had completed its docking, a rating scrambled aboard with a letter for Captain Morishita personally penned by his good friend Kyuji Kubo. The letter contained orders to make all possible haste in heading to Takao, Formosa, there to take command of the CL Nagara of Cruiser Division 16 of the Third Fleet and serving as the flagship of Admiral Kyuji Kubo’s 4th Surprise Attack Unit. A Captain Hankyu Sasaki would be taking command of the Oi and was either already at Amami Oshima or en route.

Nobue paused after reading his orders to contemplate the sudden change of command. Obviously there had been some last minute changes what with the newly formed Suzume Bachi task force and now the sudden need to make changes in the command structure of Cruiser Division 16. That Kyuji considered this change critical and that he was using his rank to bring in Nobue in was apparent as Nobue read between the lines of the letter in his hands.

Well, it would be good to see his old friend again, and with the start of war with America already under way it would be good to serve with officers he knew rather than serving within a hastily formed strike force that would be trying this new concept of torpedo cruisers in combat. Captain Morishita had always had concerns over the new armament his Oi had received. Having 40 torpedoes in mounts above deck during a naval engagement would add a severe pucker-factor to the combat. He had woke up several times in a sweat while dreaming of his ship taking a direct hit from an enemy salvo in one of those ten torpedo mounts. One of the first areas of training he’d extensively implemented was damage control and the immediate suppression of fire anywhere along the flanks of the Oi where those torpedo mounts had been emplaced. Nobue paused in thought to look down again at his orders. Well, any future problems with those torpedo mounts were now the headache of one Captain Hankyu Sasaki.

Captain Hankyu Sasaki climbed limberly out from the side hatch of the H6K2-L Ayanami that had finally taxied in and docked after a sea-landed near the port of Amami Oshima. The smaller dock was used for loading and unloading float aircraft like the huge transport version of the long-ranged H6K2 patrol aircraft. The night before, Hanakyu had just missed catching the mail flight for Amami Oshima from Nagasaki, and in truth considered it great fortune to have managed to cage a ride on a supply run to the isle that had left earlier this morning.
Hankyu took a moment and ran his hand through thick dark hair cropped short as was the fashion of men serving in Japan’s Imperial Navy before replacing the cap on his head. A crewman of the Flying Boat popped his head out of the side hatch and with a quick nod after getting the Captain’s attention, tossed Hankyu the two duffel bags he had brought with him. Hanakyu surveyed his surroundings and quickly spied the silhouette of a light cruiser docked on the other side of the small bay. Since it was the only naval ship in port, Hankyu decided to make it his destination. And fortune continued to shine on his path as he noted a large cargo truck that was just coming to rest near the base of where the dock met the shore line. Hankyu meandered jauntily down the dock towards the waiting truck, secure in the knowledge that his insignia would bear up to the task of having the supply truck take him to his new home.

Back on the Oi, Captain Nobue Morishita was in his cabin giving it a final check after having packed his life’s trappings into three large bags when one of his crew knocked politely at his cabin door and shared with him that a naval officer had arrived and was seeking an audience with the Captain of the Oi. Nobue gave a quick nod of acceptance and then told the sailor to carry his bags down to the dock and secure transportation to the headquarters building so he could begin to arrange passage to Takao after meeting this new officer.

Nobue made his way up to the deck on the port side to which the Oi was tied up to the dock. He easily spotted the newly arrived officer and made his way towards him. While they made introductions Nobue was surprised at how young this new Captain Sasaki appeared to be. Nobue was already well on the north side of 50 and had the silver frost to prove it. But this young skamp was easily in his mid 30ies. Politics must have played into this younger man’s career, Nobue thought grumpily to himself, deciding quickly to treat the younger man with a little more respect then was his due.
Nobue introduced Hankyo to the ship’s officers and then personally gave Hankyu a quick tour of the Oi, taking time near the torpedo mounts the Oi had just recently received to gauge the younger captain’s reaction to all of that ordinance sitting above deck an easy target enemy aircraft, let alone a 5” shell from a naval destroyer.
If the torpedo mounts bothered the younger captain he never so much as twitched. In fact he had almost seemed to gain a gleam in his eyes when he discovered that the Oi could fire two broadsides of twenty torpedoes each!
Returning to the port side for his final leave, Nobue said his goodbyes to the ship’s officers and then disembarked without a single backward glance. Such was the way of the Japanese Navy he had devoted just over forty years of his life to.

Captain Hankyu Sasaki watched the stiff-backed older captain climb into a car reserved for officer transportation and continued to watch as the car drove away. Although Captain Mirishita had made mention that he was to assume command of the light cruiser Nagara that was currently at Takao, Formosa, Hankyu had made no mention that he’d just left that ship the day before, and that Mirishita would be replacing him as the captain of the Nagara.

Hankyu had run afoul of one Admiral Kyuji Kubo of Cruiser Division 16. Hankyu considered Admiral Kubo a pain-in-the-assed old-school officer that masked incompetence in the stiff-necked mannerisms of honor and pride that had been a part of Japanese naval tradition for almost fifty years. Hankyu had come up from the submariner side of the navy, having spent fifteen years as a submariner prior to joining the surface side of Japan’s navy. Hankyu knew that there had always been friction between the submariners and the surface fleet. Not quite as bad as the friction between naval personnel and the army, true, but definitely contention that often broke into fisticuffs when alcohol was added into the mix. But Admiral Kubo took good care of his prejudices and vices, and once the Admiral had found out Hankyu’s past life as a submariner their relationship had immediately dropped off the chart.

No, thought Hankyu to himself as he watched the car disappear from view, “Kudranai” Kubo had tried to dry-dock Hankyu but had only managed to swap commanding officers between two light cruisers. And with the improved armament the Oi was now sporting, Hankyu was looking forward to showing these surface-fleeters what submariners had known as soon as the Long Lance had become available, that Neptune himself would have traded in his trident for a full spread of Type 93 Torpedoes!

What is all of this stuff in the updateReport.txt file? These are all upgrades to units on the board? I don't recall seeing anything like this when I played against Nemo in AE. Is this all ok or do I have a problem with the game?

So KB did not fly any air groups this turn. Since it was in easy range of Pearl I must assume KB ran into weather? KB will try one last time @ PH and then head west.

I've got a lot of SCTFs running after merchies. I've got a lot of search aircraft out and can see a lot of his mearchie TFs.

I asked to use the Thai troops in Burma/Malaya but Chris doesn't like the idea. No biggie. If I didn't ask then the answer was no anyways...

the 65th Bde is loading for Vigan.

Troops in China are moving about to form an upper & lower attack front. Smaller units are scurrying about as I try to free up larger combat units that are kind of stuck with Garrison duties.

Production seems to be going well so far. I'm getting TFs of merchies to ports where resources are accumulating.

Amphibious TFs are steaming for ports along northern Borneo.

Hong Kong should fall within the next two turns.

Next turn I should have Vigan and Aparri (neither are defended)

Kavieng will be hit next turn. I see an enemy TF @ Rabaul. I've got a the Ryujo down there so we'll see how things fair.

TF5 is SE of Singapore and making a run into the Java Sea. 2BB, 2CA, 1CL, & 6DD.

I should have the turn back to Chris Monday evening.

TTFN,

Mike

Just in case anyone wants to look at the combatevents report...
