In the months following Pearl Harbor, the Imperial Japanese Navy conducted operations at sea, threatening British Royal Navy dominance in the area.
The most dangerous moment of the war, and the one which caused me the greatest alarm, was when the Japanese fleet was heading for Ceylon and the naval base there. The capture of Ceylon, the consequent control of the Indian Ocean, and the possibility at the same time of a German conquest of Egypt would have closed the ring and the future would have been black.
- Prime Minister Winston Churchill, April 1942
March 31, 1942, Japan had attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, her forces had overrun Hong Kong, Malaya, Singapore, the Dutch East Indies, and Burma. Now the Imperial Japanese Navy and Army were heating up for an assault on India, the jewel in the British imperial crown.

Interesting detail, the troopship we see at 25:49 and which Wolfpack sinks at 31:58 is actually the one of a kind amphibious assault ship Shinshū Maru. One of the first large dedicated amphibious warfare ships in the world. It had a well deck to launch boats like the Daihatsu class landing craft we can see on her deck. Very nice to see it represented in the game!

My only real experience with dodging enemy air attacks comes from _Battlestations: Pacific_ (so maybe I'm not completely on point here) but your "zig zag" maneuver during the Val attack only made you more vulnerable. If you had continued the left turn, you would have started moving parallel and towards the diving bombers, giving them a much more difficult shot. Instead, you reversed the turn and presented your broadside.

@Strelnikov403 4 месяца назад

My guy you need to use the aircraft waypoint system to set up proper search sectors around your fleet. You're fighting a much stronger enemy force and you're doomed if your carriers keep getting ambushed like this. CAP is your first line of defence, not the last: vector them onto contacts as soon as they're detected and before they're directly overhead, for which you need a thorough search cordon.

Wolfpack, I think that the surface raider that you sunk was the one that sunk the HMAS Sydney IRL, so you just saved Australia's most popular ship from a terrible fate.

I have a suggestion: To fix the issue of Hermes and indomitable needing repairs and you have like 23 command points you could get an escort carrier to temporarily take indomitable place. Or a BB.

@Karagianis 3 месяца назад

Yeah, one problem with that, Escort carriers were built to escort merchant convoys, using merchant hulls. Their top speed is under 20 knots. Attaching one to a cruiser squadron is going to leave it limping along at 16-18 knots at best, probably less as the carrier probably can't spend the entire voyage at its maximum speed.

I'm glad the aerial combat is not the best in this game... The Betties were equipped with a 20mm autocannon in the tail turret. If it were the case in the game, poor hurricanes flying in a straight line would be cut to pieces before getting in effective range of their 7,7mm plinkers.

@VikingTeddy 3 месяца назад

And those Hurricanes have not zeroed their guns, the tracers go all over the place Not a single stream converges with another. It even seems like some of the guns are pointing slightly up or down. My headcanon states that these are all reject pilots who failed gunnery, so their mechanics give them maximum spread so they'll at least hit *something*.

@ijnfleetadmiral 4 месяца назад

The rapid switching between camera angles and screens make it really hard to follow the action. The odd-looking 'troop transport' is actually a landing craft depot ship named Shinshu Maru. She had an eventful life, sinking TWICE. Her first sinking was during the Battle of the Sunda Strait on 27 February 1942, when she was inadvertently hit by torpedoes fired from Mogami. She sank in shallow water, forcing the Commander of 16th Army (LTG Imamura Hitoshi) to take a swim. She was refloated in September 1942 and was under repair until November 1943. Her second sinking was after being torpedoed by submarine USS Aspro (SS-309) and then finished off by aircraft from Task Force 38.

@shaunholt 3 месяца назад

Would it be better to have the escort ships sail TOWARDS incoming aircraft while the carrier sails away? My main thinking is one, getting to the aircraft before they get to the carrier, but also if ships can fire anti-air for I dunno, say two miles radius, then if they're close to the carriers (within that 2-mile radius) then the enemy aircraft don't have to fly through as much AA to reach the carrier. So I think it'd be better to make the aircraft fly through the entire AA defense instead of only opening fire once they're already within a couple miles of the carrier. Start shooting at them from further out.

These aren't the flimsy ww1 biplanes made of sticks and string. While old fashioned they had metal frames and a lot of structual redundancy. Plus their obsolete nature could actually be an advantage at times. In the case with Swordfish they so slow that enemy AA gunners tended to overlead them, as they were slower than the training targets they practiced on, so the aa fire would all burst ahead of them rather than actually hitting them! The 27 Swordfish stationed on Malta were sinking on average 50,000 tons of axis shipping a month, for a 9 month period, with the record being 98,000 tons in one month.
