Pacific Rim(job) [AAR] ITAK_Linus (ASIA UNITA) vs Kaiser85 (Alleati)

Il primo colpo, medio calibro, in coperta e no danni.

Secondo colpo a 4.000 yarde da 15" ha centrato il deposito munizioni e fatto esplodere la nave.

Shit happens e, sinceramente, mi va bene così: al prezzo del Kumano ho steccato la Force Z. In realtà ero abbastanza sicuro di non perder nulla, ma il colpo ai magazzini ha provato altrimenti.


La mia SOP in questi scontri e' di dare un comandante aggressivo a ciascuno dei DD e comandanti non aggressivi ai CA/CL. L'idea e' che i DD si immolino andando a cercare lo scontro a brevissima distanza mentre CA/CL lanciano le loro salve di siluri e si tengono un po' in sordina, cosi da non essere prese di mira dai nemici.
Specie col setting che menzionavo prima di Oi e Kitakami + Fubuki, e' utile fare cosi: comandante TF molto aggressivo, comandanti DD aggressivi e comandanti CL poco aggressivi (ma comunque non pavidi) cosi' da far combattere la TF in modo accanito (comandante TF) e mandare i DD al macello (comandanti DD), mentre i CL si tengono un poco separati e, a dio piacendo, usano sopratutto i siluri.
Questo, chiaramente, nel caso uno voglia sfondare la TF nemica coi siluri, situazione tipica di quando hai navi buone con tanti long lance ma incontri forze superiori per numero e potenza di fuoco (tipicamente una TF di incrociatori contro BB varie o tanti CA).

Alternativamente puoi mettere un comandante molto aggressivo su una BB e sperare che nello scontro in notturna il tizio sulla BB attiri su di se' il fuoco e non affondi nel processo, mentre i DD si avvicinano al nemico e tirano una salva dopo l'altra di siluri.
Purtroppo gia' nel mid-game non funziona piu' perche' gli alleati travolgono ogni cosa. Ricordo appunto la Hiei contro Stefano che fu affondata davanti a Socotra da una TF di incrociatori nemici: divorata dalle fiamme e centrata da dozzine di colpi da 155mm.

Usci' persino il bellissimo messaggio "damage control party trapped by fire!"

@ITAK_Linus se non rimembro mal i razzi fecero registrare un decremento del RoF (Rate of Fire, Rateo di Fuoco per gli italici) corrisposto invero da un incremento di pericolosità...ma ho sol vaghi ricordi, prendi il tutto colle pinze, anche se un soldo cielo punterei.

Potrei dire una boiata perchè non disegno giochi, ma penso che sia anche se non principalmente un problema di scala cioè se il livello di simulazione aereo navale arriva alla singola unità, gioco forza quello terrestre diventa più approssimativo in quanto i numeri e le tempistiche sono molto diversi, non so se hai visto il film Dunkirk dove la narrazione gioca molto proprio sui tre livelli temporali.
Inoltre WitP AE è una costante, splendida evoluzione del motore di gioco di Uncommon Valor la campagna del Sud Pacifico, teatro in cui gli scontri terrestri per la conformazione del terreno sono stati molto più simili a quelli della prima Guerra Mondiale che agli altri teatri della seconda India-Birmania e Cina comprese.
In altre parole è molto più approssimativo

Domani è un mese esatto dall'inizio delle ostilità. Ho preso tutta Luzon, Singapore è mia e sono sbarcato in forze a Giava, dove la caduta di Soerabaja è solo questione di far marciare le truppe in loco.

E ho millemila AV dovunque pronti ad altre operazioni.


Come volevasi dimostrare e come ho detto infinite volte: saltare le Filippine non cambia alcunché nell'equilibrio generale.
Facendo Luzon subito ho avuto una posizione strategica più precaria per il primo mese di guerra, ma nient'altro. Adesso ne ho una più solida.
Sostanzialmente, facendo le Filippine senza saltarle, ho:
I) Singapore presa con due settimane di ritardo rispetto al solito
II) Giava investita con una settimana di ritardo
III) Sumatra assaltata con una settimana di anticipo
IV) Millemilamilioni di AV che non avranno da tornare indietro fra qualche mese a conquistare Luzon&co
V) Una disposizione più scomoda delle truppe (risolta facilmente creando più xAK-t al day-1 in previsione di ciò)

Tutto qui.

Generalmente ho svolto offensive maggiori per sovraestendermi nell'ultima settimana di Gennaio 1942, specificatamente il 27.

Ora come ora ho appunto 20 giorni di margine. E, fra l'altro, il 27 Gennaio dà a sua volta un bel po' di margine sul tempo limite per iniziare a sovraestendersi che giudico essere fine Febbraio 1942.

Facendo le Filippine si ha lo svantaggio di non poter invadere l'India nella prima settimana di Gennaio 1942 come feci contro il danese, e ciò a causa dell'HR sull'attraversamento dello Stretto di Malacca e non a causa di mancanza di truppe.
Fra l'altro, adottando un "Singapore first" e andando un poco più lenti a Luzon, si può comunque fare.
E' del tutto superfluo, sottolineo ancora, invadere l'India nella prima di Gennaio. Contro il danese lo feci perché volli ottimizzare ogni cosa ed arrivare al limite possibile operazionale in termini di tempistiche. Un'invasione ben progettata a fine Gennaio / metà Febbraio ottiene i medesimi risultati strategici ed è assai più abbordabile.

Per l'Australia non cambia assolutamente niente invece: le tempistiche sono identiche, posto uno abbia l'accortezza di usare xAK-t e xAP veloci per il trasporto truppe (ho trasformato in xAK-t ogni nave da 18knts e 15knts al day-1 e day-2).


Posto uno voglia invadere Canada e West Coast, direi che fare le Filippine è un po' un problema perché, anche usando ogni dannata nave veloce, il sealift imperiale è comunque insufficiente per creare massa critica in tempo. Ciò supponendo di passare per il CenPac (Hawaii) e non dalle Aleutine. Passando dalle Aleutine non cambia assolutamente nulla.


Infine, se uno vuole mantenere il perimetro storico, è del tutto indifferente fare Luzon o meno: siamo al 6 Gennaio 1942 e ho ancora un tre mesi di bonus sbarchi e mi resta solo Burma da prendere, quindi figuriamoci.
In caso uno si tenga nei limiti del perimetro storico, conviene fare "Singapore first" ed assediare gli alleati a Clark Field e dopo Bataan. Generalmente l'Alleato preferisce il terreno x3 di Clark e si difende lì, mentre a noi interessano le industrie di Manila. Una volta presa Manila, possiamo assediare tranquillamente i poveretti a Clark Field usando a nostro vantaggio il bonus difensivo del terreno e usando il porto a S-W di Manila per carico/scarico truppe/merci. E' lvl3 e non si becca i cannoni di Bataan, quindi perfettamente in grado di muovere qualunque cosa, specie se siamo abbastanza svegli (e non ci vuole molto) da buttarci un paio di NavalHQ presenti in quantità giganti in zona (Formosa, Pescadores, Saigon, Cam Rahn Bay).
Il mio unico problema attuale è che ho usato troppe navi sminatrici a Bataan/Manila e ho da aspettare un paio di turni prima che Singers sia completamente sminata: direi che è un problema del tutto minimo nel grande schema delle cose, anche se mi secca perdere un paio di turni. Non che cambi alcunché: il porto e l'AF sono al 100% damage e quindi non potrei usarli ugualmente per qualche giorno. Truppe tutte col TOE fra 80% (quelle piccole) e 95-100% (divisioni)

Ricapitolando: sì, interessante fare le Filippine ma continuo a preferire la mia apertura usuale perché mi dà slancio maggiore e mi consente, sopratutto, di concentrare ogni cosa a Singapore, prenderla e poi riorganizzare la disposizione delle truppe secondo i miei piani.


Lo specifico del match in questione fra l'altro in teoria aiuterebbe un poco, dato che le CV americane hanno attaccato Tokio e non sono dunque a S-W di Giava, che ho distrutto l'aviazione olandese nel corso di 2-3 turni di bombardamenti aeronavali e che la Force Z e amici sono affondati subito. In linea di principio ciò mi consente di muovermi più liberamente nel settore, invece che fare il mio usuale approccio cauto da Celebes/Molucche impiegando tanta NavS a lungo raggio per assicurarmi contro eventuali scherzi alleati.
Visto che sto testando molte cose, non ho sfruttato queste specificità del match in questione e ho tenuto KB e molte forze navali varie in zona Giava come avrei fatto se non si fossero verificati gli eventi di cui sopra (ForceZ affondata, olandesi kaputt e posizione US CV nota).

Bello questo attacco contro nessuno

 

Ci piace vincere facile ahahah


A me piace molto questo:
DD Kisaragi launches Long Lance Torpedoes at DD Bulmer at 18,000 yards
DD Mutsuki launches Long Lance Torpedoes at DD Bulmer at 18,000 yards
Nonostante i quasi 18Km di distanza, brasiamo il buon Blumer:
DD Bulmer sunk by DD Ushio at 18,000 yards
Poi ci avviciniamo e chiaramente i giappo si fanno prendere dall'entusiasmo e si schiantano fra di loro:
Range closes to 13,000 yards
CL Tenryu collides with DD Mochizuki at 101 , 126
Morale della favola: ho dovuto mandare il DD indietro ad Onshu perché s'è sgarrupato, unico vero danno dello scontro navale.

Siamo così forti che facciamo anche la parte del nemico e ci infliggiamo danni da soli. BANZAI!

 

La mitica Mutsuki class..se urtano un sarago esplodono..

 

Perchè sono venuti di notte

 

Stando a wiki:

Planned: 12
Completed: 12
Lost: 12


Fatti di cartone, ma hanno il reload ai long lance e quindi superiori a molti DD precedenti che non hanno la ricarica ai siluri. Manco so se la ricarica viene usata nel medesimo scontro, credo di no, ma aiuta per quando non puoi ritornare in porto e hai uno scontro ulteriore nel turno successivo.



Nel grande e variegato parco DD imperiali, i Mutsuki mi hanno sempre convinto fra quelli vecchi. La classe successiva, i Fubuki, sono un altro mondo pero'.


Chiaro che c'e' da ridere a fare 'ste menate qui quando gli alleati hanno centinaia di Fletcher che valgono quanto un CL (di quelli buoni) imperiale, ma ci si arrangia...



Se lo vuoi sapere, il buon Mutsuki-class ha tipo 35 FLT e 35 ENG damage, non malaccio dopotutto.

Il peggio e' quando ci sono scontri con navi grosse e hai una CV o una BB che sfondano un DD. Li' affonda e basta il poveraccio. Purtropo non ho i PP per gestire i comandanti delle navi ora come ora.

Si', in notturna gli imperiali dicono la loro fino a fine '42. Dopo, e' un po' complesso fino a meta' '43. Da meta' '43 in poi e' un tiro al piattello: fai conto che contro Blizzard anche se ha CA in zona io gli mando contro TF di Fletcher e ottengo buoni risultati. Se poi ci metti un CL americano moderno li' c'e' da ridere perche' affondano la qualunque.
I CA americani, paradossalmente, non sono cosi efficienti in notturna anche nel late game. Non che cambi molto in definitiva: da alleato hai cosi' tanta roba che te ne puoi fregare e puoi attaccare a testa bassa anche con navi inferiori.
