Doolittle Raid - ITAK_Linus (Jap) Vs Kaiser85 (Allied)

Si, comunque il giorno dopo sono apparse le sue portaerei, come se lo sapesse, e ha affondato tutto, ci ho rimesso diversi DD e 2 CL, oltre ai trasporti.
Diversi camion del reggimento sono andati anch'essi persi perché non erano ancora sbarcati.

In compenso lui riesce a sbarcare 2 divisioni complete a Pegu, in una notte sola. Questa cosa del bonus degli sbarchi è, sinceramente, una minchiata.

 

Da un certo punto di vista hai ragione. Anche perché i jap non è che avessero chissà quali capacità anfibie.
Secondo me si poteva bilanciare meglio senza bonus sbarchi, rendendo più omogenea la capacità anfibia jap durante tutto l’arco della guerra.

Per ciò che concerne l’apparizione delle sue cv, ricorda che Linus le usa ampiamente in full speed e in un paio di turni praticamente percorre la distanza che ne percorrerebbe a velocità normale su tre turni.
Inoltre fa un massiccio uso della recon perciò è possibile che tenesse d’occhio la tua tf da qualche turno.

Per finire, la prossima volta evita di postare foto rivelatorie. Quella dello sbarco di Tarawa era piuttosto evidente e le fughe di notizie sono sempre possibili.

 

Capito...

 

C'è anche lo possibilità che sotto traccia stesse spostando le sue cv con altri fini.
Tipo piombare su PH o la WC per intercettare le TF Usa di ritorno dal raid a nord.
Quel ragazzo ha una capacità di intuire le rotte avversarie sorprendente oltre a sfruttare la recon in modo egregio

 

Il colpo a Tarawa era già fatto quando ho postato la foto, probabilmente aveva le CV a Truk ed è andato di full speed come dice @GeorgePatton . La recon ora mi dà trasporti a un esagono da Tarawa.. che voglia risbarcare??

In compenso le divisioni sbarcate a Pegu non sono 2 ma 3, l'Imperial Guard Division, praticamente in 1 giorno e mezzo ha sbarcato 3 divisioni complete, Burma è già persa, ridicola e irreale sta cosa.

Dal mio lato ho silurato un CS vicino l'Australia e affondato un AK carico di truppe, altri AK e CM colpiti da Catalina e Dornier?? olandesi, un massacro.

 

Considerando la fase storica ottieni buoni colpi.

 

Molto probabile che voglia riprendersi subito Tarawa per togliersi il problema di torno.

Pegu è una delle sue mosse preferite. E, se ci pensi, è molto utilizzata.
Perché dici che sia ridicola?

In ogni caso non dare per persa la Birmania subito. È ancora lunga e puoi fargli pagare un prezzo anche considerevole.
Occhio a Ramree Island che lui considera importante sempre. Puoi anche rompergli le scatole li.
Ma non cedere tanto facilmente soprattutto Magwe. Probabilmente Rangoon è persa ma puoi anche accorciare il fronte più a nord e fargli sputare sangue per prendere i pozzi di Magwe.

però non sguarnire troppo l’India perché un colpo di mano a cox, chittagong se non addirittura diamond harbor è molto possibile

 

Tarawa già ripresa con una MixBrigate, il mio reggimento si è sciolto come neve al sole al primo shock attack, ora sta sbarcando a Suva.

Ridicolo perché non credo fosse possibile al tempo, sbarcare 3 divisioni al completo in un giorno.

 

ma le ha sbarcate complete? O solo una parte?

 

Complete, puoi rivedere dai report che posta.

 

andrò a vedere poi. Onestamente il suo aar è un po’ noioso perché fa copia incolla del Combat.txt e mi annoia tantissimo leggerlo quindi non lo leggo mai .
Allora si, tre divisioni sbarcate in un giorno sono effettivamente un po’ esagerate. E questo ci riallaccia al mio discorso di un’iformità sugli sbarchi durante tutta la guerra

 

Un macello a Noumea, mentre sbarcava a Suva prova anche a sbarcare una divisione a Koumac, la base sulla punta nord della Nuova Caledonia (dove c'è appunto Noumea), due miei caccia intercettano la TF e fanno un bel danno, peccato non aver colpito l'LSD, vuole chiudere la rotta per l'Australia:

Altri attacchi aerei dei catalina prima e dopo colpiscono altre navi e anche i miei SS ci si mettono, non penso però di essermela scampata, ci sono tantissime navi intorno.

Nel Borneo è sbarcato a Miri, ma anche lì altre navi colpite dagli attacchi aerei.

 

Dipende anche dal numero di navi utilizzate, se in ogni trasporto c'è solo un piccolo frammento di unità si può sicuramente fare.

 

Bonus sbarchi si, ma poi le deve ricaricare da tarawa ci vuole tempo

 

In effetti ha senso
