    Urgh, so basically they return to wherever they were when the attack order is given. Time to get in touch with the devs, they should absolutely follow the next waypoint after the attack order, or even queue orders - attack, then go here. Thanks for taking the time to address this, first time I've had an influence like this 👍

      that's why I prefer nowadays turn-based over real-time, it is more like chess. I am getting overwhelmed during real-time, or too much entangled in micro-management instead of enjoying the game. For example, I could play Total war on Legendary but without the battle pause button, I wouldn't enjoy the game.

    It feels just like the way Americans hit Yamato historically, massive squadrons clustering together. I like the way U uses Vals as cover for Kates to move in. Considering the fact that Japanese planes are mostly squashy, that is proved to be a really effective tactic, and it ensured the maximum amount of damage with the least amount of loss. Bravo!

  • @lupulul
    @lupulul 3 роки тому

    You can compensate for the the Val missing their torps because of the speed by correctly forming your wing. If the ship you are torpedo bombing is sailing from left to right, then you must form your kates on an echelon left while going at 200kn with them. This way you will hit 3/4 torps if they are not maneuvering too harshly.

  • @Iocanthos
    @Iocanthos 3 роки тому

    If you want to have some fun with planes then next time when you send Kates to torpedo some fools, try manual torping. Split into groups of 3 (4 works too) Line ahead minimum distance and just drive it in manually. In most cases I noticed the bombers drop torps that are waaaay too much to the front, this way you can have near 100% accuracy with torpedos.

    Hmmm my guess to the vals just circle back around is due to when you hit the attack order. The place where the planes first start to attack would be the last known location they been to. So after they attacked and drop bombs they would go back to the same spot where you order its attack. But thats just my guess

    Have you tried using Kates with 800kg bombs? I've been wrecking whole fleets just using my Kates. Sure 90% miss but woe to any ship that takes a direct hit from one. My sunk my first two American BBs using level bombing, the bombs seem to blackout any module nearby a hit. The poor BB lost all of its main guns and half of its secondaries after three bomb hits. They came out after I invaded Russell Islands and haven't stopped coming since. My invasion of Miline Bay only got the response you are facing right now, gonna try for Port Moresby soon.
    Also, try editing your aircraft's formation before they strike. It's been working well for maximizing hits. "Line Ahead" for level bombing, "Line Abreast" for dive bombing and "Echelon right" or "Echelon Left" (It depends on what direction the ship is moving compared to the Kates)

    Love your videos @wolfpack345. Why do you attack ships from the side with bombers? seems like lengthways is safer and easier

    I would say going after the DDs first is always sensible, no matter whether you plan to mop up the merchants with a surface fleet, more aircraft, or submarines.
    Whatever you do afterwards, it is inevitably easier and safer once the escort is gone, obviously. Even further airstrikes profit from getting less FLAK, also obviously.
    To be honest, it was a bit frustrating seeing you ignoring the destroyers so often in previous episodes, especially when you were planning on sending in a submarine next.

    the planes go to the point where they were ordered to attack from, kinda weird, could use it to your advantage maybe?

    Had a chance encounter with the North Carolina and her group against a single Sub. I launched all 6 torpedoes with 1° spread and got out. Somehow all 6 fit in the tiny window of the circle formation and found their target. Needless to say, 1BB down

      @grandemperormaximilliani1347 3 роки тому +1

      WOW. You managed to hit all 6 on the BB? That...that is rare. Most people tend to be terribly inaccurate with the subs, and the circle formation can’t have been helping! The High Command should give that sub commander a medal.

      @@grandemperormaximilliani1347 normally for some reason the solutions run a little behind and the last couple are late. Idk if it was the high angle of attack (was moving in from the BB's 10 o'clock) or the game just gave me a gift but either way, I'll take it 10 out 10 times 😅.
      I've also tried something different this time (2nd try in campaign mode). Instead of building the airbase up, I've built the port. I'm at a level 3 port at the moment, and no longer have to re-arm in Rabul. It has paid off big time as now Gaudal is protected night and day, and I can run more distant missions, without worry. Though a sub did breach my picket line yesterday, and caused a little chaos, but that is partially on me becoming to lax in scouting. Having to send a DD, the Tone back for repairs (2 separate engagements, lost the sub after the first, and decided to leave combat and just had to wait for it to initiate a 2nd attack or catch it on the surface which didn't happen😬).

      @@Deuce02339 I like that port strategy. I’ve seen in other comments that the enemy fleet tends to be crippled long before Guadalcanal gets a full airbase, and this appears to be true at least for carriers. Honestly it does seem better to build up the port, repair, and fight right there rather than having to put a whole battlefleet out of action after two or three battles due to ammo shortage and then have them miss the major decisive engagements early on. Especially considering that in a major engagement Betty bombers would be powerful but no port is in range of Coral Sea or the area beyond Guadalcanal, rendering them mostly useless, and so air power is not the main fight in most battles until carriers roll out. When subs cause chaos. 😂 As long as no ships were lost it will end up fine. Still impressive that you killed a BB in the middle of a formation! I guess you did indeed find just the right angle to pull it off.
