Normal MA setings for SB's would require two planes to kill them (given the present allied set up), Curently the larger Hardness seting requires Two planes to hit the target with all their ordance, about the only real diferance is that the planes nead make accurate drops.
The only real impact this higher seting has is if the CV comander wants to run his ships up on shore without having had air assests take them out, somthing easly done. I dont want the CV's parked on the beach with their ack envelope over the airfield, it's bad for game play and the ships dont nead to be this close to launch LVT's. The higher seting means if the gun is up a gunner has a good chance in a dual with a CA gunner to sink the primary ship(S) in the TF. the TF's have like 4 to times as many ships as a normal MA fleat does BTW.
Heck the Allies dont even nead to use their CV's for thsi they have a 4 CA felat they can use.
Ship hardness is half that of the MA, but the best load any Japanese plane can cary (other than a Peggy) is 1K of bombs, so were talking 4 Japanese planes (George or Tony) in a sucide Jabo run to sink a CV, if we were at MA normal setings it would take the same number of Allied planes to do the same thing.
Shure you could use a Peggy formation but not all their bombs will ever hit a CV. Most Peggys kill CV with torps, at half hardness it takes two as aposed to three torps to sink a CV.
The Fleats on this map enjoy the most intense ack on any of our maps we use in the CT.
I realy dont think any of the complaints about these settings are anything more than a bunch of whines, givien the Japanese capabalitys and the Allied ones, they seam prety lame imo.
Yes the same handfull of folks complaine about them each time the set up is ran and each time I explaine this and that and each time we reach the same impass. My goal is to creat a balanced and viable set up for each side. Whats yours? Every seting and plane choice as a consequence, the old yen and yang thing. I see many of these complaints by the same folks and see the same agendas, regreatably many of which are less than fully objective ones.
I will say this though, as much of a royal pain as this is at times I want you all to list any objections any of you ever have on any of my set up's, I want to hear them, I am not above making a mistake or two, the present set has had three magor changes to it over the time of it's running, one Wildcats were enabled at all bases(they were only on the CV's), two, The B26 was added (set up before this one), VH hardness was increased to 5K (second set up).
Now try and bear this in mind, if you object to somthing I do in a set up and I respond to it, and dont agree with you, then tuff tittys, it aint personal, I have to make these deshions as a staffer, every staffer does.
