Friday's set up........
« on: December 08, 2003, 05:39:17 PM »
In  an effort to get a couple more plane types added that some folks have missed playing with I have decided to go with the Okinawa set up this Friday.


Fleat hardness will by 50% of MA standard, 4k for a Cv and 750 pounds for any other ship.

All bases have SB's they will be set to 5k, as apposed to 4k wich is their default seting.

The Ack gun hardenss will be increased to 50KG.

Ack lethality will be at .7, like it is normaly in the CT.

Dot dar will be at 20 miles for enemy and unlimited for friendly.

500 foot height for dar.

The plane set:

At start up all Allied airpower will be sea based, if the Allies take a base US Army Air assest's will be available their as well as GV's.


Plane set:

Their are two types of Allied CV task forces, one with 4 CV's and one with one CV. The 4 CV groups have two CA in them along with their CV's and the Single CV groupe is just like a MA fleat. Their are also 4 CA TF's like we had on the slot map. For this set up will will be using, 2 single CV group's, one Four CV groupe and one 4 CA groupe. The Japanese will have one Single CA groupe.

USN:

From the Four CV groupe(C1):

Hellcat
Wildcat FM2
TBM
SBD
LVT's

From the Single CV groupe (C3):

F4U-1D
TBM
SBD
LVT's

Royal Navy:

From the single CV groupe(C4):

F4U-1A (Skined as a Royal Navy Coursare)
TBM
SBD
LVT's

US Army:

P47D-30
A20

C47
The M's
Panzer IV
PT's

Japan:

All of them.

Let's see ....

There's gonna be strong shore batts and ack guns ... weak fleets (and small if they have F4Us on them). We Get shore-based F4Us out of A18 once we manage to take it until we lose it. The Army Air Corps is out of the picture until we capture a base but is lost if we lose said base or bases. The Allies will have ocean superiority but they better keep it well out of range of the shore guns until they have the numbers to mount a significant strike/invasion force (and they better do it fast). The Japanese will have Peggy formations available. And the F4U-1 is dressed funny. Gotcha :lol

Sure .. why not? It'll give VF-17 two places to enjoy their preferred virtual AH enviroment this week. The CT and Saturday's CAP. :D  

Thanks for the late pac. :aok

Hey! Don't jinx it. The George ain't that much a problem. Watch out for the skilled Tony veteran, though.

Besides .... I've even advocated reskinning the La-5 or 7 to be a Ki-84. That'd make things harder for the Allies by a magnitude. But as long as the F4U gets free run outa the deal (enabled at all shore bases and fleets that have the same composition as the others) I'd like it just fine.

It would require editing this terrain to add the skins, though.

Brady, is it possible to adjust all acks (Fleets, too) a little bit more down to CT use? Or can you adjust 88's alone to lower level? I think the most whining is coming just because of those ack batteries everywhere in the Okinawa main isle and huge fleets...

The ack-hell was good in the SEA "Operation Iceberg" use, but maybe we don't need it so heavy in CT?;)

The George (N1k1, and N1K2) faught in several Battles during the later part of the war from mid 44 till the end( first action for them was during the invashion of the Philipines). Including Okinawa whear it flew escort mishions for the strkies aganst the Allies their,  Just one of the George units in operation hear Air Groupe 343 in operations around Okinawa scored aprox.  106 kills with the loss of aprox. 29 Aircraft.
  The George can also be viewed as a stand in for many other late war Japanes fighters we dont have in AH that were operation during this time many of which were in action over Okinawa.


 Skining a Russian fighter that in no way preformed anything like the Ki 84 and had a very different gun package, would not be somthing I would realy go for, espichaly since it would likely see a lot more use than any of the Japanese planes which we have.


 The Flack, issue has to do with the number of guns on the fleat that are producing it, adjusting the lethality will not decrease the Flack buff's, we treyd this before, and it did not help. The best way to reduce the Flack from the fleats is to sink a few ships outa them:) The Field ack is no problem it is easly taken out, as evidanced by the very fluid front on Okinawa, realy the clusters seam to make the guns easer to kill. espichaly if bombs are used aganst them.

Where does this stat come from? Is it a Japanese claim or a researched fact?




Thanks for the set up BTW, just stay away from the helm:D

Japanese Naval Aces and Fighter Units in World War by Ikuhio Hata and Yasuho Izawa Naval Institute Press, is the source, the Authors tyroughtout the book take great care to try and present substantiated figures.


 No P38's were actualy in the Battle at Okinawa.

Sounds good. Ive been reading Aces of the Rising Sun  by Henry Sakaida. Quite a difference in claims made vs. actual losses:D

Looks like no level bombers for the Allies.  I guess the 322nd will be sinking Allied ships this week?
