Die feindlichen Amlandungen auf Tubuai gehen weiter......unsere Bomber greifen weiter die Landungsflotte und die gelandeten Truppen an......scheint aber eher ein Tropfen auf den heissen Stein zu sein

Der Feind greift auch mehrfach unsere Bodentruppen mit Bombern und nun auch mit Trägerflugzeugen an! Da muss man doch was dagegen tun können!
Ansonsten mal wieder versagende amerikanische Uboot Angriffe (2x)
Um den Feind an der Anlandung zu stören wurde eine Zerstörerflottilie ausgesandt...leider wurde diese frühzeitig vom Feind entdeckt:

Die Zerstörer wurden allesamt im Laufe des Tages von feindlichen Trägerflugzeugen versenkt :(
Zumindest dürfte die Anlandung etwas gestört worden sein.
Während des ganzen Tages fliegen beide Seiten massiv Luftunterstützung für die Truppen auf Tubuai.....doch leider sind immer mehr Japaner auf der Insel:

In Australien flogen wir seit langer Zeit mal wieder Bodenunterstützung.....mit ganzen 5 Flugzeugen!
Ubootkrieg....4 Angriffe...und nun sind 2 Uboote beschädigt....also zurück nach Hause mit Ihnen!
Nicht nur treffen meine Uboote nicht auch meine ASW lässt massiv zu wünschen übrig!
3x unfähige Tropedoangriffe gegen den Feind
2x noch viel unfähigere ASW bei Dutch Harbour mit 2 4 Schiff ASW Gruppen gegen ein einzelnes Japsen Sub.....ca 80+ WABOs geworfen und gerade mal einen Treffer...der scheinbar nichts bewirkte! Aber auch das Japanische Uboot (angeblich die I-174 verschoss zumindest 4 Torpedoes)
Zumindest konnte ein Ami Flieger in Aussie ein Sub mit ner Bombe treffen......später im Turn gab es Sinkgeräusche....aber ob es dieses Uboot (RO60 - immer wieder gesichtet und angegriffen:

Schade um die 4 wertvollen DDs vor Tubutai, werden DDs eigentlich auch automatisch nachgebaut? Aber auch wenn, der vorangegangene Verlust der Kinguasa, einer Landungsflotte und der Troßschiffe bei Rarotonga wiegt wohl die 4DDs mehr als auf....trotzdem ein vielleicht zu leichtfertiger Verlust? Ich hoffe der Kampf wird für die Allierten ausgehen, aber wenn die KB da noch kreuzt ist Tubu wohl ziemlich isoliert und es wäre wirklich nötig dorthin mit einer Flotte durchzubrechen, für Verstärkungen und Bombardment. Mit der KB als Damoklesschwert ist die Region aber unschiffbar, denke ich mal. Siehe die 4 DDs.

Noch sehen wir keine versenkten Trossschiffe in der Liste......aber die Hoffnung steigt nun :prost:
Die 4 DD tun mir nicht weh.....es ist zwar lästig....aber es scheint den Gegner verscheucht zu haben.....schauen wir mal was die nächsten Turns so bringen!
Auf Leserwunsch die CV Verluste:

und am Ende des Tages gibt unser Marineministerium in üblicher Geschwindigkeit den Verlust eines Schiffes zu:
Loss of xAK Hanyang on Dec 13, 1941 is admitted
ob die solche Infos nicht besser doch noch länger unter Verschluss halten sollten :D
Weiterhin schwere Luftschläge beider Seiten gegen die jeweils gegnerischen Stellungen auf Tubuai...keinerlei Bodenkampftätigkeit! Der Gegner wird doch wohl nicht unter Supplymangel leiden (dann wäre ich ja nicht der einzige mit nem fetten ! dort)
Beim Versuch Nachschub sowie einen Küstenbeschuss durchzuführen wurde leider die BB Maryland von feindlichen Langstreckenbombern empfindlich getroffen. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

doch die Eskorten haben den Befehl nicht zu nah zu kommen!
Nach dem der feindliche Focus im Süden steht, werden wir langsam anfangen uns im Norden vor zu tasten....da sind ein paar unbesetzte Alliierte Inseln.....mal schauen wie der Feind reagieren wird.
Aussie: Luftangriffe beider Seiten.......doch eine kleine Besonderheit.....die amerikanischen B-17 Bomber greifen massiv Port Moresby an......der Feind wird reagieren müssen!
Indien/Burma.....unheimlich diese Stille!
China.....wäh!
Da sind etliche japanische Uboote rundherum in der Südsee...lästig wie Moskitos.....und leider Gattes sehr treffsicher:

Da wird der Feind abgelenkt....oder auch nicht!
Die Nachschub Aktion für Tubuai ist abgeschlossen, ein AP und 2 AKs sind wieder in Tahiti! Diverse Kampfgruppen sind aber noch auf See.......die BB Maryland versucht sich mit 2 ASW Gruppen als begleitung nach Tahiti zurückzuziehen......hoffentlich schafft sie es!
Die Luftschläge auf die Stellungen auf Tubuai gehen massiv weiter!

Wie ist es eigentlich später? Ist zwischen Hawaii und Japan eigentlich etwas, wo der japaner gut verteidigen kann oder kann man da einfach antuckern und anlanden wenn man die nötigen Kräfte hat?
Ist der Weg über die Aleuten oder Indonesien besser geeignet auch wenn er länger ist?

Das Jahr 1943 muss die Wende bringen! Ran an den Feind!
Wie gehts diesem schwer torpediertem BB? Ist es safe ?
Wie ist es eigentlich später? Ist zwischen Hawaii und Japan eigentlich etwas, wo der japaner gut verteidigen kann oder kann man da einfach antuckern und anlanden wenn man die nötigen Kräfte hat?
Ist der Weg über die Aleuten oder Indonesien besser geeignet auch wenn er länger ist?
Jedes Inselchen kann ein Dorn in meinem Fleisch sein!
Anmarschweg Norden: er hat sich in den Aleuten breit gemacht.
Anmarschweg Mitte: Midway, Marcus Island und die Bonin Inselchens
Anmarschweg Süden: Saipan, Guam (Mariana Islands)
( Karte: http://combinedfleet.com/battles/ )
Zwischen Anmarschweg Mitte und Nord ist das Meer zwar offen und frei....der Gegner hat aber derzeit die weit größere Aufklärungsreichweite als wir und kann dieses Loch decken.
Für einen schnellen Träger Raid kann man es zwar gut nutzen.....aber für eine 12kt Invasionsflotte ist es riskant.
Wir geben zu ...... wir sind umgeschwenkt ......zeigt es den Japsen und macht sie platt !!
Wir wollen Saipan ,Okinawa und Manila und Leyte sehen !!
:prost:
Diese Orte sind zu bekannt und wahrscheinlich gut verteidigt, ihr werdet viele andere Orte sehen......ausser Ihr habt eine Pazifik Rundreise gebucht :D
Auch Wir geben unsere uneingeschränkte Sympathie für den edlen Swift bekannt:

Midway, Guam, Okinawa waren schon wichtige Posten damals in RL. Um als Ausgangspositionen zu dienen. DAs Inselhopping war ja nicht umsonst von den Amis angewendet worden ;)

Kommt immer darauf an was der Gegner dort investieren will und kann.
Solange ich nicht aussreichend Power habe um den Nachschub des Feindes zur See zu unterbrechen ist es müssig über solche strategischen Ziele zu sprechen.....wenn es einmal soweit ist......dann gerne :D
Die üblichen Sachen.....der Feind greift die Kokospalmen an und wir bomben kräftig PM und Tubuai :smoke:
Und usere INTEL gibt mal wieder schlimme Nachrichten:
Previous report of sinking of SS I-30 incorrect. Intelligence reports ship is still in service
Ausserdem schleicht da immer noch was auf der Suche nach meinem beschädigtem BB:

Solange ich nicht aussreichend Power habe um den Nachschub des Feindes zur See zu unterbrechen ist es müssig über solche strategischen Ziele zu sprechen.....wenn es einmal soweit ist......dann gerne :D
Dann unterbrecht ihn !!! :D und zermalmt ihn einer GIGANTISCHEN ZANGENBEWEGUNG das ich sowas über meine geliebten Japaner sagen würde :eek::eek:
Das hat man davon das hier noch kein AAR stattgefunden hat wo die Japaner 44/45 mal auf den Deckel bekommen haben :D

Das hat man davon das hier noch kein AAR stattgefunden hat wo die Japaner 44/45 mal auf den Deckel bekommen haben :D
:reiter: ich glaube ich sollte euch zum strategischen Berater ernennen :reiter:
ansich das übliche......die Japaner pflügen Palmen um......bomben wie die bösen in China.......meine Uboote krebsen versagend herum.......wir bomben Tubuai........und zu guter letzt fängt der Feind an in den Aleuten lästig zu sein!
Aaah.....wir greifen nicht mehr PM an.....keine Flieger mehr dort.....neues Ziel Lae!
Was mich stutzig macht sind seine verstärkten Aufklärungstätigkeiten bei Johnston Island! Wir haben die Insel verstärkt! Auch sind nun Jäger, Sturzkampfbomber und Bomber dorthin geschickt worden!
So langsam scheint der Feind überall aktiv zu werden - nun gibt es feindliche Lufttätigkeit in Burma....unsere Aufklärung zeigt auf den feindlichen Flugfeldern ca 1400 Flugzeuge! Mal schauen!
In Alaska stört den Feind scheinbar mein Vorposten auf Umnak Island, ansonsten die üblichen Umgrabarbeiten der Japaner in China und unsererseits auf Tubuai und Lae.
Wir bekommen aber wieder einige Luftsiege:
WO Gibson, J.F. of No.17 Sqn RAF is credited with kill number 5
WO Gibson, J.F. of No.17 Sqn RAF attains ace status!!

Von den Transportfliegern kam aber eine schlimme Nachricht:

Da werden wir was tun müssen!
Der Turn war böse für uns, aber zumindest haben die Japaner doppelt soviele Flugzeuge wie wir verloren (23 vs 47)

Das ist doch schonmal was!:)
Ludendorff
Mit dem Unterschied der Japse kann sich das leisten, so er denn seine Industrie auf zack hat.
Im jahre 42 ist noch jeder Verlust, auf Amie Seite, ne halbe Katastrophe.
Und das Piloten Argument zieht beim Japse auch net.
Sehe ich gerade im Spiel gegen meinen Bruder wir sind 43, der kleine miese ....... verteitigt sich nur und geht Kontrolliert zurück.
Der hat irgendwas bei 3000 - 4000 Piloten im Pool alle 70 exp, 70 air, 70 def.
Ausserdem wird er im August die Frank fliegen in Massen, da freu ich mich ja schon drauf`*grrrrrrrr*
Ich gehe davon aus das Hindi seine Pilotenausbildung ebenso auf der Reihe hat .
Um es kurz und knapp zu sagen bis 44 hat der ami schon sein Säckele zu tragen *G*.
Das ist leider wahr!
Derzeit haben wir 800+ mehr feindliche Flugzeuge vernichtet als diese bei uns :D
Wirklich? na, dann müssen die Flieger bei den Insulanern aber mal ein bisschen knapper werden, denk ich mal. Mich wundert aber, dass Eure U-Boote so loosen. Historisch war das Problem zu diesem Zeitpunkt doch schon unter Kontrolle, oder?

Die Ami U-Boote sind eine Katastrophe. Erstmals wird der Torpedo-Malus mit dem U-Boot Upgrade Anfang/Mitte '43 reduziert. Völlig entfernt wird er erst durch das Upgrade im Jahr '44. Das dauert also noch...
Das Problem mit dem Spiel ist einfach der Fakt, das es ewig lange dauert, bis der Ally endlich mal in Fahrt kommt. Siehe auch Effektivität von Carrier TFs^^ Die meisten AARs gehen nicht Ansatzweise so lange. Man liest meist nur wie der Jap alles auf der Map steamrollt und dann ist es vorbei^^
Naja ganz so krass ist es net.
Es sind genügend Grenzen eingebaut, das der Amie seien Zeit bekommt um alles in Stellung zu bringen.
Also ich sag mal ab Anfang 43 ist schluss beim Japaner mit Vormarsch im grossen Stiel.
um einige Beispiele zu bringen für die eingebauten Grenzen:
-Effektivität der Bodenstreitkräfte 43 3 Jappanische Divison für eine US Division.
Wenn die US Division angreift, Us Marine Div ist das Verhältniss sogar noch höher.
Nartürlich beide versorgt und keine weitren Massnahmen die bonie oder einbussen bringen.
Also rein Bodenkampf .
Das heißt also irgendwann ist Schluss weil man einfach net genug Einheiten ranbekommt um weiterhin ne dicke Offensive an allen Fronten zufahren.
-Die überlegenheit der Japanischen Luftwaffe ist hier weit geringer als sie in der ersten Zeit im wahrlichen Kriegsverlauf auch wahr.
Der geschickte Spieler der Allyseite kann dies ausnutzen und dem Japaner schweren Schaden zufügen.
Ist zwar dann nur Temporär aber gerade in der Phase des Vormarsches wird dies zu Massiven Verzögerung führen.
Denn die Flugzeugproduktion ist beim Japse meist erst Mitte 42 auf dem Stand das ihm die Verluste net mehr so weh tun.
Davor bedeutet es immer Zeitverlust wenn man die Stärke der Amie LCU net Unterdrücken kann .
- 4 Mots die völlig übertrieben und Falsch dargestellt sind .
Ich sag nur Angriffsgeschwindigkeit bei 500 Mph, hier.
Tatsächlich waren es zwischen 180- 240 Mph, also voll beladen.
-Dann der heftige Nachtbombenbonus der Allyseite gegen Flugfelder.
Denke das war kein Bewusster Bonus sondern einfach ne Fehlüberlegung in der Programierung.
Ich versuche es Kurz zuerklären:
Nachtangriffe gegen Flugfelder sind enorm wirkungsvoll.
Ich vermute das die Ally da besser las der Japse Abschneiden hat einfach folgende Ursche.
Jede Bombe hat eine rechnerische Wahrscheinlichkeit etwas zu treffen, diese muss recht hoch sein für beide Seiten aber dadurch das die Ally Seite die schweren Bomber mit der Höhren Zuladung und Bestückungszahl hat.
Daraus ergibt sich dann nartürlich auch mehr Versuche und eine noch bessere Trefferlage .
Beide Punkte in Wechselwirkung mit den besseren Bodentruppen führen einfach dazu das irgendwann für den Japse Schluss ist.
Es gibt noch einige andre Punkte .
Das ganze muss man nartürlich so sehen das der Japse net so übertreibt in der Anfangsphase.
Dann erfolgt irgenwann der Stillstand und ab 44 dann der Vormarsch der Allyseite.
Den eigentlich Sieg wird der Ally durch den Russen erringen.
Wen ndie Dampfwalze 45 mit ihren Divison Loslegt und den Kwantung im durchmarsch völlig zerlegt und halb China.
Dann hagelt es Punkte für den Ally für zerstörte LCU und wichtige Basen.
Um ein kurzes Fazit zuziehen .
Das Spiel gewährt dem Ally enorme Vorteile und das in sehr ausreichender Zahl.
Als Japse kannste dir bei weitem net soviel Fehler wie als Ally leisten, sonst währe Ende 42 Schluss*G*
Aber persl bezweifle ich das man es nur mit den Amies gegen einen Passiv spielenden Japaner bis 46 gewinnen kann ohne den Russen hinzu zunehm .
Das sehe ich auch gerade in dem PBEM gegen meinen Bruder .
Was ich mir da ein abkrampfe um den zubekommen , Trauerspiel sag ich nur .
Aber wir sind mitte 43 und es kommt Licht am Ende des Tunnels auf .
Mann muss als Amie nur Geduld haben und mal von der denke wegkommen das alles im historischen Rahmen laufen muss auch zeitlich gesehen.
Dat wird dann nix .

Die Japanischen Verluste sind fehlerhaft (FoW)
Der BB dürfte nicht gesunken sein, auch dürften 3 oder 4 Uboote zuviel angezeigt werden
Dafür gehen aber ca 40 andere Schiffe ab (vor allem Transporter)

Alles in allem die üblichen Gefechte - ausser das der Japaner überall noch stärker und intesiver angreift!

Die Abschusszahlen bei den Flugzeugen sind ja beeindruckend. Wie der Japaner das nur so leicht abfedern kann? Der Verlust an fliegendem Material und vor allem Personal müsste doch kaum ersetzbar sein ?!
Wie sieht eigentlich im Moment die Verteilung von Trägern CV/CVL/CVE aus?
Welche Seite hat wieviele?

Wie sieht eigentlich im Moment die Verteilung von Trägern CV/CVL/CVE aus?
Welche Seite hat wieviele?
Die Flugzeugverluste federt der Feind mühelos ab.....zumindest derzeit, da wir kein hohes Operationstempo vorlegen können.....sobald seine Verluste im Minimum von 40 Flugzeugen pro Tag liegen, dann tun wir ihm weh.....aber dafür haben wir zurzeit nicht genügend Flugzeuge.
nur rund 20% unserer Staffeln sind voll ausgerüstet
rund 40% haben zw 60 und 90% ihres Sollwertes
rund 30% haben 40 bis 59%
und rund 10% haben 0 bis 29% ihrer Ausrüstung!
Verteilung der Träger:
1 CV und 1 CVL gehört den Briten und die sind im Indik (leider geht der CV bald wieder vom Kriegsgebiet ab!)
Der Rest sind amerikanische Träger - die meisten davon in der Südsee.....mal schauen was wir da so treiben können!

Nun wird sich wohl im nächsten Turn weisen ob der Feind seine Träger auch in der Südsee hat!

Guadalcanal war auch eine unbedeutende Insel.
Schade das die 4mots offenbahr keine Überwasserschiffe treffen können. Die Chance 2 BB zu treffen war ja da. naja wenigstens die Transportflotte wurde arg gefleddert .P
Ist es denn klug zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt eine Trägerschlacht zu riskieren? Bin über die Trägerverteilung etwas im Unklaren....

Da haben keine 4mots gegnerische Schiffe angegriffen!
Meiner Schätzung nach haben die dort 120 Schiffe in 8 TFs rund um Tubuai......alleine die PBs die man im replay immer wieder sieht sind Legion.
Trägerschlacht......tja, wer weiss.......da hat ja nur ein Träger von mir angegriffen....

Die Japaner haben jetzt so viel schon investiert,die werden jetzt nicht mehr aufhören bis sie die ganze Insel haben...kann den Allis nur Recht sein.
Ich hoffe der Japaner kriegt von Euch bei Tubuai eine wirklich grosse Niederlage spendiert.

Gerade wenn es nur ein Träger war, ist das nicht ein wenig Risikoreich, denn selbst für eine kleinere japanische Träger TF sollte dies ja ein leichter Gegner sein, der kaum ein Risiko in einer Seeschlacht für den Feind darstellt.
Ich kenn mich nicht mit der Spielmechanik aus, aber ich würde ja prinzipiell die Träger erst dann einsetzen, wenn sie gemeinsam genug Schlagkraft haben, feindliche Träger TFs massiv zu gefährden. Oder wenn man sich sicher ist, dass der Einsatz gefahrenlos ist.
"...da hat ja nur ein Träger von mir angegriffen.... " heißt ja nicht unbedingt, dass nicht mehr da sind.
Man hat sich entschlossen das Risiko einzugehen und in Richtung Tubuai vorzustossen. Folgende TFs sind nun im Bereich Tubuai im Einsatz:
Air Combat (3 TFs)
- VADM Mitscher mit CV Hornet, CA Indianapolis, CLAA Atlanta und 7 DDs
- CAPT Ramsey mit CV Saratoga, CA Chicago, CLAA San Juan, CL St Louis und 6 DDs
- CAPT Newman mit CV Wasp, CA Chester, CLAA San Diego und 6 DDs
Bombardment Groups mit folgenden Schiffen (2 TFs):
BB North Carolina, BB Indiana, CA Quincy, CL Helena und 8 DD
SAGs (Surface Action Groups):
CA Portland, CA New Orleans, CL Phoenix, 12 DDs
Replenishment TFs mit folgenden Schiffen (2 TFs):
CVE Althamaha, CVE Copahee, CVE Prince William, CVE Long Island, CA Astoria, CA Louisville, AO Brazos, AO Neosho und 4 DDs sowie 2 DEs
ASW:
3 x 4 DDs
Uboote:
3x SS
Ausserdem gibt es in der Nähe mehrere Flugfelder und Basen:
Bora Bora, Raiatea, Rangiroa, Tahiti
mit folgenden Staffeln (leider nicht alle zu 100% aktiv)
3x Lightning Aufklärer
3x Avenger
2x Dauntless
1x Helldiver
4x Aircobra
4x Warhawk
3x Wildcat
1x Bolo
2x Hudson
4x Marauder
4x Mitchell
1x Fortress
8x Liberator
6x Catalina
2x ZPK (Zeppelin)
2x Skytrain
1x C33
Die Jäger haben nicht die Reichweite Tubuai anzugreifen, können aber TFs ein gutes Stück weit einen Luftschutz geben.
Die Liberator und Marauder greifen weiterhin Tubuai an
Die Hudson und Fortress fliegen LR See Aufklärung
Die Transporter bringen Nachschub nach Tubuai
Die Avenger, Dauntless und Helldiver fliegen ASW und Seeaufklärung - sind aber auf Naval Attack eingestellt!
Die ZPKs und die Bolos fliegen ASW
Die Mitchell fliegen Seeangriff
Die Catalinas bringen weitere Truppen und vorallem Nachschub nach Tubuai.....eine Einheit fliegt Seeaufklärung.
Die Aufklärungs Lightnings fliegen Aufklärung sowie Seeaufklärung.
Wie man sieht steht hier eine nette Streitmacht.
Wenn wir Glück haben ist keine KB in der Nähe, wenn wir grosses Glück haben ist die KB in der Nähe und fliegt CAP für Tubai und wenn wir Pech haben warten sie im Hinterhalt auf uns!
Und jetzt heisst es warten und hoffen, dass sich das Risiko im positiven Sinn auszahlt und das nichts in die Hose geht.
Stay tuned........

Welchen Beitrag könnte denn die Eskortträger TF in einer größeren Seeschlacht leisten, bzw. welcher Kampfkraft in CVs entsprechen denn die 4 CVE?
Welchen Beitrag könnte denn die Eskortträger TF in einer größeren Seeschlacht leisten, bzw. welcher Kampfkraft in CVs entsprechen denn die 4 CVE?
3 der CVEs sind mit Reserve/Nachschubsstaffeln ausgestattet......diese Fliegen Reserveflieger zu den CVs.....so hat man recht lange aufgefüllte Squadrons auf den Trägern.
1 CVE ist nur mit Jägern ausgestattet......falls der Feind auf dumme Gedanken kommt.
Später können die CVEs sehr wertvolle Dienste leisten (nach den ersten paar mit den Reservestaffeln, mommen die anderen mit Kampfstaffeln)
von Reuter

Wenn der Feind so viele Schiffe in der Südsee zusammenzieht, muss die KB rein logisch mit dabei sein, auf ihre Chance wartend. Die Frage ist nur, ob 3 Fleet CV's nicht etwas wenig gegen die geballte KB sind. Auf der anderen Seite stehen aber noch massig landbasierte Staffeln... mal schauen wie es ausgeht .P Interessante Situation.
Ich hoffe nur das es kein Fehler war die Operation so detailliert zu beschreiben (so interessant wie es auch ist), nicht das der jap wieder mitliest :D

4 CVE haben ca. 120 Flugzeuge enspricht also ca. der Kampfkraft von 2 Trägern der Sōryū-Klasse...
Durch die hohe Anzahl an CVE Trägern kann der ALLi seine Schlagkraft doch recht stark erhöhen, einziger Nachteil CVEs sind relativ langsam und Offensiv nicht unbedingt die erste Wahl aber defensiv sind die sehr gut brauchbar, wenn der Alli Kurzfristig seine Anzahl an Trägerflugzeugen schnell erhöhen will.

nun das hängt aber davon ab, ob die Träger nun Kampfgeschwader oder "replenishment-squads" an Bord haben... falls sie mit 2x24 Flugzeugen pro CVE ausgestattet sind (wie Swift in seiner Aussage, dass sie als "replenishment" Träger eingesetzt werden, nahelegt) können keine offensive Operationen von den Trägern geflogen werden, und nur die anderen Kampfgeschwader (auf den CVs) aufgefüllt werden!
wird jedoch die maximale Anzahl an Flugzeugen pro CVE um nicht mehr als 5% überschritten, kann man einen CVE wie einen CV oder CVL ansehen, und ganz normal mit ihm operieren - dazu muss er sich jedoch in einer "Air Combat"-TF befinden und nicht in einer "Replenishment"-TF!

Ich bevorzuge in meinem Spiel CVE's in Air combat groups. Legt man sie zusammen, kann man leicht den Kampfwert eines vollwertigen CV's erreichen. Man muss lediglich bedenken, das sie langsamer als "Fleet"-Schiffe sind und entsprechend einsetzen. Kommt es zum Trägerkampf, bin ich recht froh über jedes bisschen Schlagkraft. Besonders die späteren CVEs können immerhin 38 (? zu faul nachzusehen) aktive Flugzeuge tragen. Ich spiele aber das Spiel auch nocht nicht sehr lange, evtl. sind die frühen CVEs ala USS Long Island mit ihren 19 aktiven Flugzeugen doch besser in der Replenishment-Abteilung oder im Transport aufgehoben.
Das man sie als reine replenishment TFs nutzt, ist mir ehrlich gesagt auch neu, wie geht das? So ähnlich wie man auch Hochseebetankung durchführt?
Edit: Wieso sind die Bombardment TFs aufgeteilt? Is es nicht besser 2 BB in einer TF zu haben, als je 1 BB in 2 TFs? Und warum die modernen 28kn BBs? Ist es nicht sinnvoller für solche eher heiklen runs die altmodischen Pearl Harbor BBs zu nutzen?

Ist zwar grundsätzlich richtig.....die ersten CVEs sind aber die klassischen Replenishment CVEs....und sie werden auch so genutzt werden!
Solange ich nicht die Seehoheit habe werden keine CVEs in die normale Kampfzone laufen!
nun das hängt aber davon ab, ob die Träger nun Kampfgeschwader oder "replenishment-squads" an Bord haben... falls sie mit 2x24 Flugzeugen pro CVE ausgestattet sind (wie Swift in seiner Aussage, dass sie als "replenishment" Träger eingesetzt werden, nahelegt) können keine offensive Operationen von den Trägern geflogen werden, und nur die anderen Kampfgeschwader (auf den CVs) aufgefüllt werden!

Die Replenshment CVE könnten bei dieser Operation/Seeschlacht den Ausschlag geben........wer weis!

Durch Dummheit die Schlachtflotte verloren, aber zum Glück wurden meine CVs nicht belästigt.
Es scheinen zumindest 2 CV schwer(er) beschädigt zu sein!
Was geschah sonst noch - na das übliche (Kokosnüsse verstecken auf Cocosisland, Chinesen niederbomben in China, japsen Panzer in Australien zerstören und die üblichen Luftschläge der Japsen in den Aleuten.
OMG, Nahkampf mit der KB.:eek: Viel Glück!
ist doch spannend, oder?! :rolleyes:
Da steht nix über Treffer!!!!
als sogenannter Cliffhanger sollte es doch spannend sein :tongue:
:( Trotzdem. Das ist ne Niederlage.. Ich mag keine Niederlagen. Ich trinke um zu vergessen. :gluck:

Im Grunde war das mit den 2x BBs gar nicht so dumm, die KB KI hat voll auf die beiden BB gruppen losgeschlagen, nicht auf die US Träger... Bei einem normalen Trägerkampf, wären nun eure Träger zumindest beschädigt. Also habt ihr die Chance bekommen die KB anzuschlagen ohne das es einen Gegenangriff auf die US Träger gab. Aus dem Vorteil muss man doch was machen können, ran an den Feind und wtfrape!
Otto Weddingen
13.10.11, 21:12
welch überraschung für den Japse... wie seit ihr so unentdeckt an die Kido herangekommen ? ist LR Cap für die Combat TF gegeben ?
von Reuter
13.10.11, 21:13
Gibt es überhaupt Flugbetrieb bei "Tunderstorms" ????
Nachbetrachtung 7.12...........Überlegungen.....geplante taktische Ausführung
Wie schon gesagt, ist durch eigenen Schwachsinn die Schlachtflotte ausgeschalten worden, dafür sind aber die Träger TFs unbeschädigt....leider sind die Fliegergruppen massiv dezimiert (120+ Verluste bei 266 Anfangsbestand!)
In der Hoffnung entweder die beschädigten Transporter zu finden und auch das grosse Teile der KB ausgeschalten sind haben wir uns entschlossen weiter vorzustossen.
Zuvor wurden von den Replenishment Tragern 48 Wildcats, 24 Dauntless und 30 Avengers zu den Trägern geflogen ( die veralterten Staffeln können leider keinen Nachschub erhalten)
Die Flotte hat noch eine Reichweite von 60 bei voller Gefechtsgeschwindigkeit (150 bei Normalmanöver)
Der Rest der Bombardmentflotte (also fast alles was bei Tubuai war...halt ohne BBs und 4 DDs) wird über 3 Wegpunkte den projektierten Weg der Invasionsflotte mit Höchstgeschwindigkeit absuchen.
Die Replenishmentgruppen manövrieren südlich von Tubuai........die ASW Gruppen werden diese TFs begleiten....eine weitere SAG (surface action group) wird sich auch mit den AOs Treffen
Das war grob der Plan für den nächsten Turn..............
:( Trotzdem. Das ist ne Niederlage.. Ich mag keine Niederlagen. Ich trinke um zu vergessen. :gluck:
na dann :prost:
jo für den ersten Turn der Seeschlacht in der Südsee muss ich die vollauf zustimmen!
welch überraschung für den Japse... wie seit ihr so unentdeckt an die Kido herangekommen ? ist LR Cap für die Combat TF gegeben ?
:D:D:D
Nebel, Gewitter, sprich Sauwetter mit 6000 Sichtweite......der Feind hat scheinbar entweder keine Radargeräte oder Tomaten auf den Augen!
LRCap ist was für Pussies ;)
Gibt es überhaupt Flugbetrieb bei "Tunderstorms" ????
Eingeschränkt...OP losses sind dann massiv!
Bringt nen Sieg nach Hause, und ich trinke weiter. Dann aber um zu feiern :D Mutige Entscheidung, weiter vorzustoßen! Möge sie belohnt werden!

13.10.11, 21:21
Versenkt die kb!!!! Alle Überwasser TFs druff, der Sturm deckt sie sicher ausreichend. Ohne Rücksicht auf Verluste. Kreuzer, Zerstörer und BBs kriegt der Ally noch mehr als genug. Langsam genug sollte die sein bei "Heavy Fires" auf 2 CVs.
Ah, ja.....folgende Punkte gehören noch zum 7.12:
Loss of BB North Carolina on Dec 07, 1942 is admitted
Loss of BB Indiana on Dec 07, 1942 is admitted
Loss of DD Bancroft on Oct 20, 1942 is admitted
Loss of DD Smith on Dec 07, 1942 is admitted

Wenn man berechnet das sie schon vom Luftschlag beschädigt waren, sind die nun bestimmt net mehr einsatzbereit und schön langsam. Das alles mitten in der Südsee, weit weg von deren Stützpunkten. Wenn man dran bleibt...wer weiss was man noch daraus machen kann .P Aber auch wenn es dabei bleibt, die KB ist erst mal für paar Wochen bis XXXX ausser Gefecht. In der Zeit kann sich der Ami dann Tubuai holen, bequem gedeckt von den intakten US Trägern.
Was mich wundert ist, das nen leichtgepanzerter CV nach 5 Shell Hits noch schwimmt^^ Bzw. 10 !! und 14:eek:
Als die Gneisenau und die Scharnhorst vor Norwegen die HMS Glourios gestellt haben, wurde die ratz fatz versenkt.
Edit: Der Luftschlag zeigt ja auch das sie nur noch 60 Jäger oben haben und kein Gegenangriff mit Bombern, der KB ist das Rückgrat gebrochen.

So......was könnten wir im nächsten Turn erwarten:
2 SAGs auf Suche nach KB, Transportern und meine Aufklärer haben AOs gesehen
3 CV TFs werden weiter auf Kampfstation bleiben und versuchen ihre Torpedoflieger einzusetzen!
2 weiter SAGs stossen zu den Replenishmentgruppen (je ein Kreuzer mit 4 DDs)

Als die Gneisenau und die Scharnhorst vor Norwegen die HMS Glourios gestellt haben, wurde die ratz fatz versenkt.
Hier war nur ein schwerer Kreuzer, ein leichter und ein paar Zerstörer am Werk. Da wirken 28cm Granaten der Scharnhorst und Gneisenau gegen 20,3cm Granaten schon ein bisschen mehr. Interessant wäre es aber zu wissen ob die von den Zerstörern gefeuerten Torpedos getroffen haben.

Verwunderlich ist eher, wie so eine kleine Flotte so nah an die Träger kommen kann und die in Ruhe beschießt, ohne eigene Totalverluste.
Immerhin gibts ja noch:
BB Kongo
BB Haruna
BB Hiei
BB Kirishima
BB Hyuga
CA Tone
CA Chikuma
DD Akizuki
DD Teruzuki
DD Oshio
DD Yamagumo
DD Minegumo
DD Asagumo
DD Murasame
DD Samidare
DD Yamakaze
DD Kawakaze
Auf so kurze Distanz müsste doch eine einzige BB-Salve die Angreifer förmlich zerfetzen?
Haben die denn so schlecht oder kaum zurückgeschossen?
Reduced visibility due to Thunderstorms
Maximum visibility in Thunderstorms: 6,000 yards
Vermutlich. Und der Fakt das die jap wohl kein vernünftiges Radar haben. Mit so kurzer Sicht kann der jap. Verband nicht antworten, während die US Schiffe per Radar die größten Kontakte anlaufen. Beschädigte Schiffe sind halt leichte Opfer. Der Sturm ist ein riesen Glücksfall. Auch in Hinsicht auf die SeezielBomber die die Japsen da auf einigen Eilanden stationiert haben. Die hätten sonst sicher den Verband angegriffen.

Das wäre dann aber ingame etwas komisch dargestellt.
Normalerweise sind doch die Träger in der Mitte der Flotte und werden von den Sicherungsschiffen umgeben.
Ist das wirklich realistisch, dass die Amis nur mit ihrem Radar auf über 6-7 km Entfernung quasi unbehelligt über den Sicherungsring hinweg in die Träger ballern und auch noch treffen können?

Wenn man berechnet das sie schon vom Luftschlag beschädigt waren, sind die nun bestimmt net mehr einsatzbereit und schön langsam. Das alles mitten in der Südsee, weit weg von deren Stützpunkten. Wenn man dran bleibt...wer weiss was man noch daraus machen kann .P Aber auch wenn es dabei bleibt, die KB ist erst mal für paar Wochen bis XXXX ausser Gefecht. In der Zeit kann sich der Ami dann Tubuai holen, bequem gedeckt von den intakten US Trägern.
Was mich wundert ist, das nen leichtgepanzerter CV nach 5 Shell Hits noch schwimmt^^ Bzw. 10 !! und 14:eek:
Als die Gneisenau und die Scharnhorst vor Norwegen die HMS Glourios gestellt haben, wurde die ratz fatz versenkt.

Ach bitte die HMS Glorious wurde von 28 cm Granaten versenkt die IJN träger wurden bstimmt nur von Zerstören getroffen so ca. 120 mm Granaten das ist nix für gepanzerte Schiffe und im Prinzp wirkungslos....

Ja das stimmt sicherlich, die Engagements kann man schlecht vergleichen. Es gibt leider nicht so viele Beispiele wo 30kn Träger so blöde sind sich von Überwasserverbänden abfangen zu lassen. Btw. haben die Träger überhaupt eine Panzerung ?
Seekampf und Sichtbarkeit in WotPAE:
When TFs enter into Surface Combat, each ship is given an individual Detection Level for purposes of the combat resolution only. Each ship with radar will attempt to use its radar to increase the DL of enemy ships involved in the combat by checking its radar against each enemy ship. Each successful radar check will increase the DL of an enemy ship by one. Ships that are on fire will have high DL values. (The most dangerous place to be is on a burning ship during a night surface engagement.) The higher a ship’s DL during surface combat, the more likely it is to become the target of an enemy ship’s weapons.
Die engine simuliert keine räumlichen Informationen/Formationen, denke ich. Es geht bei der Kampffolge um das Detection Level und die Priorität die der TF Comander (KI) setzt. Träger haben den höchsten DL und sicher die höchste Priorität, sie haben gebrannt und der DL wurde per Radar aufgewertet. Darum wurden sie Ziel, wogegen die US Schiffe dank Sturm (haben auch nicht gebrannt) kleine/keine DL's hatten, die von den japanischen Schiffen auch nicht per Radar aufgewertet wurden. Also wurden sie im Gegenzug nicht Ziel. Bei einem Tag mit 40000 yards Sichtweite, hätte sie das japanische BB-Feuer sicher vernichtet oder gleich abgedrängt.

Edit: Der Luftschlag zeigt ja auch das sie nur noch 60 Jäger oben haben und kein Gegenangriff mit Bombern, der KB ist das Rückgrat gebrochen.
Das ist das interessannte an dieser Angelegenheit.

CV Hiryu, Shell hits 5

Haben sie ... die meisten träger sollten gegen 15 cm sicher sein in der Theorie.(Gürtelpanzerrung)aber nur ab bestimmten entfernungen.
Deckspanzerrungen sollten auch alle großen Flottenträger haben, gegen Bomben und Horizontal einfallende Geschosse.Die abwurfhöhe einer Bombe ist entscheidend und ihre Art um Panzerungen zu durchschlagen.
Auch die Magazine sollten schwerst gepanzert sein.
Bei Trägerumbauten ist oft keine Panzerrung vorhanden.

Diese Schadensmeldungen haben generell ein Problem: Fog of War. Sie basieren nicht auf der wirklichen Situation, sondern auf dem was die US Schiffe von aussen beobachtet haben. Wenn bei einem Schiff heavy damage steht, ist das auf jeden Fall ein starkes Indiz dafür, das in einer der 3 Schadenskategorien besonders schwerer Schaden vorliegt. Welche Kategorie, oder ob es alle 3 sind, kann man nicht sagen. Feuer als Zusatzkategorie hat immer die Chance das es sich ausbreitet und in den 3 Schadenskategorien zusätzlichen Schaden verursacht. Ausserdem können brennende Schiffe nicht repariert werden, es findet kein Flugbetrieb statt, sie werden sehr leicht vom Feind wahrgenommen.
-es gibt 3 Schadensarten: Flutschaden, Systemschaden und Machienenschaden
-zusätzlich: Feuerrating und Schaden an einzelnen Waffenstationen, einzelne Türme können ausfallen.
Jede Kategorie (auch Feuer) hat einen Zahlenwert von 0 bis 100. Bei 0 ist alles tiptop in Ordnung, bei 100 ist die Kategorie völlig ausgenockt. Flutschaden von 100 heißt das das Schiff sinkt, Feuerrating von 100 hat einen ähnlichen Impact. Maschienenschaden von 100 heisst lediglich das Schiff bewegt sich nur noch 1 hex pro Tag. Systemschaden von 100 heisst es finden keine Schadenskontrolle u.a. Services mehr statt (Pumpen, Radar etcpp), wodurch z.B. Flutschaden steigt und Feuer sich ausbreitet.
Erreicht eine der 3 Kategorien einen bestimmten hohen Wert (imho 80), wird daraus Major bzw. Heavy Damage. Diese Art von Schaden ist besonders teuer/langwierig zu reparieren und es birgt die Gefahr eines "catastrophic events". Was nichts anderes heisst als das ein Schiff mit Flutschaden 80 oder Feuer 90 jeden Moment droht zu sinken oder zu detonieren. Je nach eingestellter Geschwindigkeit gibt es da pro Tag eine recht hohe Wahrscheinlichkeit das es schlecht endet. Gute Schadenskontrollfähigkeit vorausgesetzt, kann Schaden direkt an Bord stabilisiert und in kleinem Maße repariert werden.
Was ich aus dem Combat Report ablesen würde:
-CV Kaga wird mit hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit nicht mehr aus der Südesee herauskommen. Sie wird nur noch schleichen. Das beste was sie hoffen kann ist es, ein nahes Eiland für Notreparaturen zu erreichen...vlt. Rarotonga. Aber naja...Swift wird da sicher entgegenwirken.
Bei den anderen Trägern kann es Alles oder Nichts bedeuten (FoW). Sicher ist, nur 2 können einen limitierten Flugbetrieb aufrechterhalten. Die anderen brennen und können durchaus auch schwer beschädigt sein.
Mal schauen wie nachgesetzt wird und was das werte japanische OK noch in der Hinterhand hat .P
Schadensmeldungen können durch die FoW Rules extrem täuschen....auf was man sich verlassen kann sind Versenkungen die man im replay des Combat Reports sieht und die Blubb blubb Sinkgeräusche.
Beschädigte Schiffe (vorallem mit Brand) werden ungleichmässig häufiger gesichtet!
Falls wirklich massives Feuer ausgebrochen ist, dann haben die Japaner es schwer, solange es normale Schäden sind kann vieles mit Hansaplast notdürftig versorgt werden....als Alliierter verwendet man (zumindest ich und einige andere) selten beschädigte CVs (damage 10+) als Japaner kreuzt man oft mit 20+ herum....deshalb die Grundhoffnung, dass die CVs schon davor leichte Schäden hatten und nun so langsam in problematische Schadensbereiche (kein Flugbetrieb) kommen - die CAP hat darauf hingedeutet (kann mich aber auch irren).
Deckspanzerrungen sollten auch alle großen Flottenträger haben, gegen Bomben und Horizontal einfallende Geschosse.
Die Japaner nicht, den das ging auf Kosten der Geschwindigkeit. Nur die englischen Träger waren auf Deck schwer gepanzert.

Doch, bei den Japaner und den US Trägern war die Panzerrung unterm Flugdeck also zwischen Flugdeck und Hangar.
Ist aber nach gängiger Auffassungsgabe eine Deckspanzerrung auch wenn sie unterm Flugdeck liegt.
Britische Träger waren so stark gepanzert auf dem Flugdeck ,das Kamikaze Flugzeuge sie in der regel nicht durchschlagen konnten.Darum wurden sie 1945 dringend angefordert von der USN.
weiß jemand zufällig, wieviel träger die Briten Ende des Krieges hatten? Die USA viele, Japan nicht mehr, aber Briten? Heute haben sie ja nur noch 1 oder 2, soviel ich weiß.
Und noch was: Wie wichtig ist die Royal Navy in der Spätphase des Spiels?

3 CV haben die bösen deutschen versenkt, d.h. 4 (+1 CVL) könnten theoretisch im Pazifik auftauchen, müsste man mal die Schiffsliste in WitP durchsehen. Aber generell werden die briten Schiffe oft wieder aus dem Pazifik nach Europa verlegt, was ziemlich ätzend in WitP ist. Allgemein kann man sagen das die Britenschiffe im Pazifik immer zahlreicher werden. Viele BBs, Cruisers und DDs. Ist eine grosse Strütze, gleich hinter den Amis. Dannach kommt die RAN/RNZN mit ihren Cruisern und DDs. Auch die freien Franzen buttern gute EInheiten rein: Die excellente Richelieu und die Jean Bart + einige DDs. Letzer sind die Niederländer. Am Anfang stark vertreten mit ca. 10 Crs und vielen DD...aber da kommt dann nix mehr^^ Die Royal Canadian Navy schiesst nur paar Corvetten mit rein....

Mit den neuzeitlichen Navies kenne ich mich kaum aus, aber ich meine ich habe mal gehört das die Briten keine Kohle mehr für die Navy haben. Den neuesten Spaarprogrammen sind 2 Trägerneubauten und die neuen Trägerflugzeuge zum Opfer gefallen. Was bleibt hat ja swift erwähnt. Von der gigantischen Royal Navy des ersten Weltkriegs bis zu der erbärmlichen Truppe heute war es sicher ein weiter weg^^ Im Endeffekt hat das Empire halt die beiden Weltkriege nicht überlebt. Und damit auch die einst supermächtige RN nicht.

Eine beachtliche Kampfkraft!
Die designierten TFs waren die TF 37 und 57 für die Kampfflotte und die 113 für die Fleet Train (Nachschubflotte)
Seit mehreren Tagen herrscht beim Feind Funkstille........obwohl Ralf zugegeben hat, dass sie den Turn bekommen haben und auch schon gestartet haben, haben wir bisher noch kein Replay (und sowieso noch keinen Turn) erhalten.
Einerseits schade, andererseits gut, da ich derzeit schwer angeschlagen bin - habe mir mal wieder mein Knie vor etwas über einer Woche verletzt und kann ohne massive Schmerzmittel mich defacto nicht wirklich bewegen......Röngten und MR haben ausser einen Muskelfasereinriss (derzwar auch schweinisch wehtut) nichts im Knie gefunden (ist aber auch schon durch frühere Ereignisse massiv mit Fremdkörpern wie 2x Nägel, 6 Schrauben, 1x Platte und 3 Stützplastiken belegt) und wenn es nicht besser wird, werde ich mich leider mal wieder unter das Messer begeben müssen (was ich aber wirklich hoffe das es nicht notwendig ist)

Solche Aktionen fressen unglaubliche Mengen an Supply! Lange wird das der Feind nicht durchhalten können!
Was war sonst noch los:
- Japaner bomben in den Aleuten (Dutch Harbor)
- Australier bomben weiter ein Panzerregiment mit gutem Erfolg
- Massive Luftschläge in China
- weitere Truppen als Verstärkung in China ausgehoben
(8th War Area arrives at Chungking
76th Chinese Corps arrives at Chungking
3rd Chinese Cavalry Corps arrives at Chungking)
ansonsten ist es recht ruhig!
Freigegebene Pressenachricht:
Loss of CA Portland on Dec 09, 1942 is admitted
Loss of xAP Maui on Jan 18, 1942 is admitted
Scheinbar wurde die Trägerschlacht in der Südsee durch die Japaner abgeblasen.....soll uns recht sein!
Dieser Turn ist mal wieder zu einem großen Teil den versagenden Ubooten gewidmet!

Leider war der Hafen leer...und die ca 200 dort geparkten Japanischen zum Glück untätig!
Ansonsten die üblichen Dinge in China, Aleuten, Australien, auf Tubuai....etc...
Der Pressesprecher des Marineministeriums gab folgendes bekannt:
Loss of xAK Agwimonte on May 03, 1942 is admitted
Doch da gibt es von unserem Nachrichtendienst noch was anderes....etwas unvorhergesehenes......
Tja, meist (ansich immer) wenn es länger dauert und auch kein replay kommt ist was schlimmes passiert!
Nur für wen ist da oft die Frage :wayne:
http://www.fotos-hochladen.net/uploads/mich8guhv27b05.jpg (http://www.fotos-hochladen.net)

Aber davor mal ne kurze Übersicht der derzeitig aktiven Träger:
http://img856.imageshack.us/img856/5024/79565741.jpg (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/856/79565741.jpg/)
An den Aktionen in der Südsee waren beteiligt die Saratoga, die Hornet, die Wasp, sowie die kleineren Long Island, Prince William, Copahee, Altamaha sowie für eine Nebenoperation die beiden CVE Suwannee und Chenango.
Bei der Nebenoperation ging es um den Truppentransport auf eine südlich von Tahiti gelegene Insel....wird später als Seeüberwachungsbasis mit PBY dienen.

jetzt haste doch eh alle meine aktiven Träger gesehen....was willste mehr.......ich habe aber noch einen netten Screenshot....und wenn davon die neuesten Teile auch nur zur Hälfte stimmen....... :gluck:
Jetzt rückt schon das Unvorhergesehene raus, Ihr alter Geheimniskrämer! :D
und nun zum interessantesten Screenshot von gestern Abend:

wenn auch nur eine der beiden neuen Versenkungen stimmt war die Seeschlacht in der Südsee trotz der Schlachtschiffverluste ein voller Erfolg!
:prost: ein Hoch auf den Erfinder der 1000 lb SAP Bombe :)
Was ist eigentlich aus den beiden Kreuzern geworden, welche recht erfolgreich die KB in einen Feuerüberfall verwickeln konnten?!

:prost: ein Hoch auf den Erfinder der 1000 lb SAP Bombe :)
ja, eindeutig die derzeit effektivste Waffe gegen Schiffe!
Falls die beiden TRäger damit verenkt wurden, dann wahrscheinlich bei einer Aufklärungsmission mit jeweils einer einzigen Bombe....

Nunja, auch wenn kein jap. Träger versenkt wurde (time will tell) kann man die Sache immer noch positiv werten. Immerhin wurden sie aufgehalten und mussten mit blutiger Nase abziehen. Die Grenze der Expansion scheint erreicht, auch wenns teuer verkauft wurde. Zumindest die versenkten Kreuzer werden aber neu gebaut, also was solls.
Die KB wird, wenn schon nicht versenkt, schrottreif sein und erst mal repariert werden müssen. Alles was eure Träger brauchen sind neue Flieger und Sprit. Sind sie neu ausgestattet, kann der Ally dann leicht den Seeraum um Tubuai beherrschen, die Insel isolieren und Luftdeckung für eigene Konvoyoperationen geben. 3 Träger sollten eine Entsatzflotte bei Tubuai sicher vor etwaigen Betties SACs abschirmen können. MIt neuen Truppen und gerät können dann die 16k Mann der Japsen erledigt werden. Das würde dann ein strat. allierter Sieg sein, trotz aller Verluste.
Kommt dann irgendwann in ein paar Wochen bis eher Monaten die KB zurück ins Spiel, ist die Welt schon wieder eine andere. Bis dahin wird das gleichgewicht bei den Trägern weiter kippen, zugunsten der Allies. Dazu kommen neue Trägerflugzeuge. Dann soll er nochmal ankommen^^

Bis zum Bahnhof würde ich deshalb nicht gehen.......und Spionage kann man es auch nicht wirklich nennen (zumindest ohne mehr Beweise)
In diesem Fall ist ein Mitleser vom Copy/Paste Teufel gebissen worden und hat Email Durchfall bekommen.......dadurch wurden mir zuerst verbale Attacken verpasst (auch wenn man sich danach - 24h+ danach - entschuldigt hat) und ich wurde von einem Gegner mit Zitaten aus dem eigenem AAR beworfen........
(er hat sich persönlich beleidigt gefühlt...........und dass weil ein Mitleser vom Copy/Paste Teufel gebissen wurde und möglicherweise unter kurzzeitiger Matschbirne gelitten hat!)
Er hat zwar gesagt, dass er nichts stratgisches vom Durchfalltypen bekommen hat......es bleibt aber leider bedenklich.
Falls jemand meint, ich greife jemanden (in diesem Fall einen meiner Gegner) in seinem Stolz/Können/wasauchimmer an.....dann soll er doch gefälligst einen Moderator zu einschreiten bewegen oder mich direkt - via PM - darauf aufmerksam machen.
In diesem Fall bin ich dann auch möglicherweise kurzfristig perplex.....aber bei weitem nicht so angefressen wie durch die andere Vorgehensweise!

Es gibt 4 Optionen:
a) Beendigung der AAR
b) ein Panoptikum der Belanglosigkeiten
c) Fakten, und die sehr vage und nicht mehr
d) Berichte, Analysen und Pläne
hmmmmm...... d) !!!! Aber alles mit gewisser Vorsicht... offenbar haben manche ein zu großes Mitteilungsbedürfnis.

Werte Herren,
man kann es nicht anders sagen - es ist schlicht unwürdig, was sich hier abspielt.
Das MP und beide AARs laufen seit über 1,5 Jahren. Es ist ein episches Ringen, das von Anfang an eine treue Leserschaft hat und das immer mehr Regenten in ihren Bann zieht.
Das Ringen auf dem virtuellen Schlachtfeld, wohlgemerkt.
Das ist es, was wir alle hier sehen und lesen wollen.
Was niemand lesen will, sind Unterstellungen, Verleumdungen und gemeine Seitenhiebe auf den/die jeweiligen Spieler der Gegenseite.:rot:
Wenn es irgendwo ein ernsthaftes Problem gibt, dann sollte in letzter Konsequenz aus dem fehlenden Vertrauen das Spiel abgebrochen werden, oder es gehören die Karten offen auf den Tisch, damit es für alle Leser nachvollziehbar bleibt. Mit Andeutungen und verklausulierten Unterstellungen jedoch werden Mitspieler verleumdet, ohne sich dagegen zur Wehr setzen zu können. Das ist rein menschlich gesehen die unterste Schublade.
Nein, halt - es geht noch tiefer. Nämlich dann, wenn Dritte plötzlich ihre "Erfahrungen" mit den jeweiligen Gegenspielern hier posten. Nach dem Motto: "Ja, der hat damals gegen mich auch schon das und das gemacht". :facepalm:
Wir möchten mit diesem Aufruf alle Beteiligten, und zwar ausdrücklich auch die werte Leserschaft, zur Vernunft mahnen!
In diesen Threads sollte es ausschliesslich um Kriegsberichtserstattung gehen und um sonst garnichts!
Wenn es den Herren partout gelüstet, sich gegenseitig Dreck an den Kopf zu werfen, dann eröffnet doch bitte einen Propagandathread in dem alle Lesen und Schreiben dürfen und den diejenigen, die sich nicht für die menschlichen Aspekte dieses MP sondern nur für den Kriegsverlauf interessieren, ohne Probleme ignorieren können. Oder benutzt die PM-Funktion!
Dies ist ein öffentliches Forum, das weit über seine eigenen Grenzen in den Strategie-Spielerkreisen große Aufmerksamkeit und höchste Anerkennung genießt. Jeder AAR - und insbesondere dieser hier - ist eine Visitenkarte für SI-Games. Es ist nicht akzeptabel, wenn der Ruf von SI-Games durch solche Verfehlungen in Mitleidenschaft gezogen wird!
Dieser Aufruf wird in beiden AARs gepostet.
Danke für die Aufmerksamkeit,
ein enttäuschter DoY
Wenn es den Herren partout gelüstet, sich gegenseitig Dreck an den Kopf zu werfen, dann eröffnet doch bitte einen Propagandathread in dem alle Lesen und Schreiben dürfen und den diejenigen, die sich nicht für die menschlichen Aspekte dieses MP sondern nur für den Kriegsverlauf interessieren, ohne Probleme ignorieren können. Oder benutzt die PM-Funktion!Auch in einem Propaganda-Thread haben persönliche Anfeindungen nichts zu suchen. Das Moderat geht der Sache nun nach. PbEMs sind eigentlich nicht unser Bier, die Art und Weise, wie hier öffentlich bzw. teil-öffentlich miteinander umgegangen wird, schon.
Ich würde mal sagen, dass da was kolportiert wurde, was es so wohl ned gegeben hat, ich denke da auch an meinen niedergelegten AAR gegen Hasardeur, wo ich empfindlich reagierte, weil ich was falsch verstandeen hatte.
Man sollte ned gleich die Flinte ins Korn werfen oder ausfallend werden, da vielleicht jemand was falsch wiedergegeben hat und so unwissend dadurch Misstrauen säte.
Wenn dieser AAR deshalb niedergelegt wird wäre ich enttäuscht, es langt schon, dass ich mich nimmer beteilige, weil ich damals Probleme hatte und auch dem Standard nimmer von meiner Sicht aus gerecht wurde.
Jedenfalls verfolge ich als Beobachter beide AARs und schweige normalerweise mich über alles aus, was ich lese...
Bitte, lieber Swift macht zusammen mit Hindenburg einen Kommentarthread auf und diskutiert eure Probleme dort oder per PM, aber macht ned gleich alles zuschanden. Ich habe auf den letzten 4 Seiten bei NIHON nix in Sachen Copy/Paste gefunden von irgendeinem und frage mich wer da nun berechtigt Kritik übt.
Falls einer von euch mal ned kann, dann schreibt euch halt emails und schauts auch im SPAM-Ordner nach, da hatte ich mal ne mail von Hasardeur gefunden, weil irgendwas schieflief...
in guter Hoffnung auf Fortsetzung...

Schade ist das. Aber nachdem 2x Schriftsätze aus dem Thread an die Nipponfraktion durchgesickert sind, würde ich mir das auch überlegen. Kein guter zug von den Leuten, die die Infos hier einfach so weitergeben.
Nein hier wird wohl nix mehr kommen da der werte Swift hier rausgeekelt wurde.
Roy1909. Bitte behaupte nicht solch einen bullshit. Mir schwillt gerade ein wenig der Kamm, da du dir offensichtlich weder zu blöde noch zu schade bist, so einen unqualifizierten Quatsch von dir zu geben.
Wir hatten eine Diskussion mit Swift, wo es darum ging, dass es für den nicht mitlesenden Gegner reichlich unfair ist, wenn dieser namentlich verhunzt wird, ohne das er sich wehren kann. Er liest das ja nicht, you know?
Nachdem das geklärt war, ist das Thema für das Moderat auch komplett erledigt, es hat nix- aber auch garnix- mit rausekeln zu tun.
Ich kann hier auch nur für mich als Privatperson sprechen, ich habe hier jedenfalls sehr gerne mitgelesen und würde das auch gerne weiter tun.
Grüße
Cholerik
PS: wir können hierzu gerne noch ein paar klärende PN austauschen, wenn du Diskussionsbedarf hier siehst. Ich möchte diese Debatte jedoch nicht öffentlich führen.
Das so net ganz richtig was hier nur weitergeleitet wurde war einfach nur die Verunglimpfung des Gegenspielers und ich stimme dir zu das in einem geschlossenen AAR zutun und sich dann darüber aufregen das es dem, dessen name verunglimpft wurde zugetragen wird das ist ganz sicher kein feiner Zug.
P.s das ganze ist ja durch die Forenmods untersucht worden eventuell können die sich ja zu dem leidigen thema auch mal äussern.

@ ron: das mit dem blöde und schade bezieht sich auf die Aussage, nicht auf dich :)

Gut, muss ich nicht verstehen, will ich auch nicht verstehen.
Für meine Person ist nur sehr schade das hier keine Berichte mehr erscheinen. Für das Feeling ist es für mich, als neutraler Leser und nicht Besitzer von WitP AE, unglaublich interessant in BEIDE Seiten Einblick zu erhalten. Schade.

dem können wir uns nur anschließen - vorallem da ja nun die Zeit der Rückeroberung gekommen ist - endlich kann man als Ally seine gesamte Stärke entfalten - wäre interessant gewesen zu sehen, ob der Ally in diesem Spiel den langen Weg wählt, oder ob er strategische Überraschung erreicht und den Japaner gleich im Kernland (DEI, Kuriles, Hokkaido) angreift!
Auch ich würde mich sehr freuen hier wieder updates lesen zu können. Großes Indianerehrenwort.
Zumal es nun ja langsam kippen dürfte (bzw. schon gekippt ist?) und wir hoffen hier großartige Trägergefechte ( und mal treffende U-Boote der Amis ;) ) gezeigt zu bekommen.

Naja was hat swift denn geschrieben? Er schriebt eine lustige Verballhornung eines Namens: Aus "der werte Hindenburg" machte er "der werte Humbug". Nix weiter als ein lustiger, harmloser Joke, eine kleine harmlose Stichelei in Richtung Feind, die imho in so einem langen Ringen nicht verwunderlich ist. Zumal ertwas Sticheln durchaus die Würze in so einem AAR ausmachen kann, in anderen AArs gibts solche Dinge ja auch ohne das daraus Ärger entsteht.
Trotzdem wurde die Info sofort an die Jap. Gegner geleaked. Und dies war ja nur der letzte Vorfal einer Reihe. Vorher haben die Gegner hier ja auch schonmal mitgelesen und nur Gott weiss was sonst so weitergegeben wurde und wieviel losses Swift dadurch erfahren hat.
Was wenn nun Swift hier grossartige Feldzugspläne darlegt. Wie z.B. das er plant in xyz zu landen und dabei die Einheiten soundso benutzt. Ich denke mal man kann davon ausgehen, das die Info dann auch sofort durchgereicht wird.
Die einzige Konseuquenz ist halt die, das er den AAR einstellt. Und da stehen wir nun, leider. Ich weiss nicht wer diese Spies/moralapostel waren, aber dankbar bin ich ihnen nicht, ich mochte den AAR hier auch.

Das kann ich ja alles sehr gut verstehen. Es ist Sein AAR, wie/was Er mit seinem AAR macht bleibt alleine Seine Angelegenheit. Das mit dem "durchstecken" kann ich als Außenstehender nicht beurteilen aber alleine der Verdacht, das so etwas passiert sein könnte, sollte in diesen, unseren Hallen, nicht vorkommen dürfen.
Ich glaube in diesen Angelegenheiten (AAR) legen wir hier einen sehr hohen Standart an und dieser muß verteidigt werden. Hier ist ja nicht irgendein xyz Forum.
Vielleicht könnte man den werten Swift aber dazu bewegen ein AAR zu verfassen.:rolleyes: AFTER AR. Unser einer wäre schon Glücklich, nach einer Schlacht ein paar Erklärungen der Alli Seite zu erhalten.

Noch immer trödelt mein Nachschubkonvoi bei FFS herum......zum Glück scheinen diesmal keine erstklassigen Piloten bei den Japanern zu fliegen.....sind wohl faul und fett geworden beim Nichts tun auf Midway.

Australien & Burmafront sind heute ruhig, dafür bombt der Feind in China weiter - Paul (mein PBEM Partner) will nun dringend die Fronten verkürzen und irgendwo was für eine kleine Gegenoffensive zusammen ziehen.
Leider haben wir in China massive Supply Probleme welche man nicht so leicht beheben kann....obwohl wir täglich mit 50 bis 100 Transporter Nachschub über den Hump fliegen.
In der Südsee wird der Feind bald einen Schock bekommen....2 zusätzliche Truppenkonvois werden in den nächsten Tagen richtige Kampftruppen auf Tubuai ausladen um den Feind von der Insel zu werfen!
Die CVs und CVE (nahezu alle Träger die die Amerikaner haben) sind massiv konzentriert und hoffen auf einen Besuch der KB.....mal schauen ob der Feind nochmals in eine Falle läuft!

ein eindeutiges
jein
umsolänger China hält umso länger werden Truppen dort gebunden und können nicht woanders eingesetzt werden.
Das Hauptproblem in China ist Supply...sehr geringe Produktion, kaum genügend Möglichkeiten genügend Supply in das Land zu bringen nachdem die Nachschublinien nach Burma und der SU unterbrochen sind......

Group Withdrawals:
2 due today (24 Daily PP)
Groups for today:
No.803 Sqn FAA
No.814 Sqn FAA
Die PP sind nicht wirklich weg, die werden nur zurückgehalten, wenn die Gruppe nicht zurückgezogen wird. Sobald man die Gruppe dann zurückschickt landen die PP auf dem Konto. Das geht auch Rückwirkend, wenn man eine Gruppe a 10PP für 5 Turns lang über dem Datum behält, bekommt beim zurückschicken dann auch die kompletten 50 PP wieder.
Ansonsten müsste man mal was machen, um Druck von China zu nehmen. Wenigstens massive Sweeps und Airfieldattacks auf Burma fliegen, damit zieht man vlt. etwas von der jap. Luftwaffe aus China heraus zieht. Die Briten haben da eine Menge Material mit guten Jägern und Piloten, einfach nix damit zu machen, ist Schade.

Und auch bei Flugeinheiten tut sich was, wir haben zwar kaum Reserven...der Generalstab denkt aber an eine massive Vergrösserung von Einheiten:
No.3 PRU RAF S-Flt converting to size 10 from 6
No.3 PRU RAF T-Flt converting to size 10 from 6
18th FG/6th FS converting to size 12 from 25
Im Gegensatz zu Japan haben die Alliierten in WitP eine sehr fixierte Flugzeugproduktion - in WitP AE können die Japaner mit etwas Anstrengung soviel bauen wie die Deutschen.......und dass hat leider Auswirkungen....manche positiv und manche negativ.
Mit dem Jahreswechsel wurde ein Teil der Fliegerproduktion umgestellt und es kommen bald neue Flugzeuge am die Fronteinheiten.
Mit dem Jahresende wurde folgende Produktion eingestellt:
MiG-3 (möglicherweise sind ja beim Kriegseintritt der SU noch welche im Dienst)
Lysander II (wird als leichter Bomber geführt)
PBY-5 Catalina (Produktion für die Holländer)
C-33 (Transporter der USAAF)
P-66 Vanguard (Jäger für die Chinamänner)
Und folgende Produktion wird mit dem 1.1.1943 aufgenommen:
Kittyhawk III (Jäger - für die Neuseeländer und Australier)
F4U-1 Corsair (Jäger - USN und Marinecorps)
Hurricane FR.IIb (Jabo für die Briten)
F-5A (Aufklärer für USAAF)
PB2Y-3 Coronado (Seeaufklärer für die USN)
Beaufighter VIf (Nachtjäger für die Briten)
In den nächsten paar Monaten kommt noch einiges neues dazu.:)
Wie sieht die Produktion für den pazifischen Kriegsschauplatz aus - tja, leider noch nicht wirklich weltbewegend, aber im Laufe des Jahres wird sich dies massiv ändern!

Sicher genau so viele Flieger, WitP ist da sehr korrekt was Anzahl und Typen verfügbarer Einheiten angeht.
Das Problem sind aber die Japaner. Im echten 1943+ litten sie unter großem Mangel an frischen Piloten (mit Ausbildung). Die elitären Vorkriegspiloten von Pearl Harbor et al waren zu dem Zeitpunkt schon alle verheizt. Moderne Flugzeugmuster waren Mangelware und die Produktion konnte nicht mit den Verlusten Schritt halten.
Durch die Möglichkeiten des Japaners in Witp kann er jedoch die Produktion massiv ausbauen und Flugzeuge produzieren, als gäbe es kein Morgen. Ausserdem kann er Typen früher ins Spiel bringen und auch frei managen welche Typen produziert werden und so schrottige Flieger gleich mal nicht bauen.
Die Amis können das nicht im Geringsten modifizieren, sie sind auf feste Zuteilungen angewiesen, die sie von der KI bekommen. Das mag so 1944 sehr viel sein, aber vorher kann der Japaner dank seiner Optionen mehr raushauen. Das geht sogar so weit, das der Ami nicht mal frei sagen kann Staffel xy soll dieses Flugzeugtyp bekommen, da oft die Staffeln an bestimmte Typen gebunden sind, das ist alles ser starr.
Und Piloten.....mit ein bisschen Geschick wird der Japaner bis 1944 nie Mangel an erstklassigen Piloten haben.
- zu den Piloten ist ja auch net unrealistisch.
die möglichkeiten hätten die japse ja auch gehabt aber im realen leben waren sie was das und andre dinge angeht aber sau dämlich.
Zu den Flugzeugen
Also wenn ich als Ally genug Flugzeuge habe kann ich auch frei Wählen ähnlich wie der Japse.
zur Produktion das ne knifflige sache.
Man hat zwei verschiedene Wirtschaftssysteme die unterschiedlich funktionieren.
Und man darf net vergessen der Amy war für eine Demokratie schon recht nah am limit mit ihrer Produktion aber bis 44 ging die Masse halt nach Europa.
Inwieweit das weiter ausbaubar ist muss man abwägen wie gesagt Kapitalistisches System da muss immer eine Umlegung von werten stattfinden.
Wie gesagt recht komplexes Thema.
Gudi und ich unterhalten uns auch oft darüber was man bei Witp anders machen könnte aber wir kommen immer wieder zu dem Schluss das es ein Spiel ist und dafür ist es gut ausgeglichen.
Der Ally darf halt nur nicht erwarten 42 oder 43 schon dicke sachen reißen zu können.
Er wird ab 44 richtig stark .
Heißt im Klartext reißt der Japse sich zum anfang zusammen und übertreibt net so wird der Amie das Spiel sauber nach Punkten gewinnen.
Da muss man als Allyspieler net klagen es gibt keinen einzigen Grund dafür.
Man bekommt dan alles in den hintern geschoben was man braucht um dem Japse das Leben richtig schwer zumachen.
Und man muss keinen Mega Orlok darum machen um das zuerhalten .
Damit ist es für mich in Ordnung so wie es ist .

zu den Piloten ist ja auch net unrealistisch.
die möglichkeiten hätten die japse ja auch gehabt aber im realen leben waren sie was das und andre dinge angeht aber sau dämlich.Möglichkeiten hatte Japan ne Menge. Aber man setzte immer auf die personelle Erschöpfung der USA. Bis Mitte 1944 gab es nahezu kein einheitliches Oberkommando sondern nur Absprachen. Ein Kommentator schrieb mal :
Japan kämpft im Stile einer Macht, die in der Ferne einige Expeditionsheere unterhält, aber nicht wie ein Volk, dem im Falle einer Niederlage Invasion, Besetzung und Beherrschung, durch ein anderes Volk drohten.
China wurde vom Heer als Hauptkriegsplatz gesehen. Der Pazifik und seine
Eroberungen sollten von der Marine geschützt werden. Als die Strategen in Tokio diesen Fehler erkannten, war keine Flotte mehr da, um die Stützpunkte zu verstärken oder zu versorgen. Die B 29 Bombardierungen , die 1944 begannen, waren ein nationales Übel, es gab gar keine Planungen zur Abwehr. Und obwohl die Japaner gesehen hatten, was die Amerikaner mit dem Reich machten.

Ich kann mir bei besten willen nicht vorstellen, wenn man bei Midway knappe 400 Maschinen verliert davon aber ca. 150 Piloten überleben das man diesen Aderlass nicht kompensieren kann, ich weiß das in fast jeden Buch zu diesem Thema das dazu drin steht, ich selber halte das aber für eine Mär der Geschichte....!
Die Wahrheit ist meiner Meinung eine andere, mit dem aufkommen der großen 3..... (P 38 , P47 , P 51 ) wahren auch sehr erfahrene Japanische Piloten in einer Zero gegen einen durchschnittlichen US Piloten ziemlich chancenlos.
Da musste der US Pilot schon den Kardinalfehler machen und sich auf einen Kurvenkampf einlassen, der natürlich nicht gegen eine Zero zugewinnen ist.
Auch das auftauchen der Hellcat und der Corsair waren todesurteile für die langsamen japanischen Jäger und ihre Piloten.
Generell kann aber gesagt werden, das das Japanische Jäger Ausbildungsprogramm nicht ausreichend war, was aber an vielen Sachen mangelete zb. zu wenig Flugbenzin für die Ausbildung zu wenig Ausbilder falsch gelerte Einsatzgrundsätze daraus resultierende geringe Flugstundendauer der Schüler !
Folgender Artikel erscheint ziemlich logisch :
The Japanese Navy had, as near as I can figure, some 3500 “front line” pilots of whom about one half were carrier current, that is, assignable to carrier squadrons. These numbers pretty much correlate with those of the USN/USMC. Just looking at active USN squadrons yields a similar number of available aviators. As far as carrier qualified pilots are concerned, that is a more difficult number ascertain from the sources I have available. I suppose a copy of “Sunburst” might clear some of this up for me, but I have yet to get around to purchasing a copy. USN carrier squadrons, at the end of 1941 only mustered about 580 flying slots in 38 squadrons. Land-based USMC VMF and VMSB squadrons probably accounted for another 200-250 readily available carrier qualified pilots. Certainly this was not the total pool of available carrier qualified USN/USMC pilots as it does not take into account carrier qualified pilots assigned to such mundane activities as training and staff positions, as well as land based squadrons. The same would be true of the IJN, there were undoubtedly many carrier qualified pilots not actually assigned to a carrier squadron and so operating. In preparing for the war, the IJN brought it’s operational aircraft up to a level of about 1800 aircraft, with about 1200 of them shore based and 600 ship based (aircraft carriers and battleship and cruiser scouts). If there were indeed only 1500 carrier qualified IJN pilots, then, obviously they had twice as many pilots as carrier pilot slots.
What was the final devastating factor for IJN aviation, both carrier and land based was their inability to make good their losses. While some like to believe that the cream of the IJN carrier aviators were wiped out at Midway, that is not exactly true. The loss of the four carriers in this battle meant that, no matter what, all of their aircraft were lost. So, probably about 256 planes were lost. This does not equate to the loss of 256 pilots; rather, the Japanese only lost somewhat less than100 pilots in the battle, most of whom met their ends aboard sinking carriers as opposed to air combat operations. Where the curve of the loss of experienced pilots started to drop off the chart was in the Solomons where both land based pilots and, thrown in as reinforcements, carrier pilot losses, went beyond the IJN’s training programs ability to replace them with a quality product. The short hiatus from the Solomons campaigns to the Mariana’s allowed the IJN some training and preparation respite, but it really was never enough to build air groups of the pre-war caliber. A substantial majority of these newly trained pilots, along with many of the residual experienced leaders, were lost in the Battle of the Philippines Sea, or as it is known, “The Great Mariana’s Turkey Shoot.” Somewhere (grabbing numbers out of the air because I don’t feel like looking it up) around 325 IJN planes and their crews were shot down, with no hope of rescue for any who might have been able to survive their downing. Essentially, this action eliminated the second generation of IJN carrier pilots and was a blow from which the IJN never recovered.
As near as I can put together, during the course of the war the IJN trained some 24,000 pilots of all stripes. Roughly 18,900 of them, and their pre-war compatriots, were killed, either in action, training, or operationally. Over 2500 of these were killed in suicide attacks.
If you look at USN pilot training, in the years 1925 through 1941 (very few aviators from classes prior to 1925 were still in flying billets by 1941) 7,061 pilots had completed the program. Of these, 44 percent, 3,112 completed the program just in 1941. Those most likely to endure the most of the fighting were those who completed flight training between 1934 and 1941, some 5,687 pilots. How many of these were carrier qualified? I have not the slightest idea; I would suspect that certainly a majority, as the USN, especially in the 1930’s, had a habit of moving pilots from one type of squadron to another.
As an aside, though not dealing with WWII, but in the period immediately after, I know a retired Navy Captain all of whose wartime flying had been VBP work in PB4Ys. After the war, in 1948, while finishing up a tour in an aviation staff job, he went to his chief of staff, one Jimmy Flatley, and requested assignment to a fighter squadron. Flatley, already pleased with this gent’s work during his tour, told him he’d see what he could do. Well, our friend thought with Flatley on his side he’d probably be able to get in an F4U squadron, or if he was lucky an F8F squadron. What Flatley did was pick up the phone and call a squadron commander who had been a young pilot with whom he had served in the Battle of the Coral Sea and later at ComFAirWest. He told the squadron CO that he had a good prospect for him and that he recommended him. The squadron commander said that was good enough for him. A few phone calls to detailer later and it was a done deal. So the PB4Y pilot found himself on the way to VF-171, the Navy’s first carrier qualified jet fighter squadron, where he quickly became checked out in the F2H, carrier qualified, and became one of the stars of the show. Of course he’d had single engine time and even some carrier landings during his training, but, and I guess this is the point, it wasn’t all that unusual both before and after the war to move from one community to another.
In 1942 USN pilot training programs started to ramp up; 10,869 aviators received their wings of gold, almost twice as many as had completed the program in the previous 8 years. In 1943 there were 20,842 graduates; 1944, 21,067; and, with then end of the war in sight, 1945 ended with 8,880 graduates. Thus in the period 1942 to 1945, the USN produced more than 2.5 times the number of pilots as the IJN. And each of those USN pilots went through a program of primary, intermediate, advanced, and, for the carrier pilots combat preparation in RAGs before heading west. New pilots were arriving for action in USN carrier squadrons with as many as 600 hours flying under their belts and as much as 200 hours of that in type.
This was a level of training and preparation with which the IJN could never dream of competing. The IJN training programs suffered from an insufficient number of qualified instructors, lack of fuel for extensive flying time, poor maintenance of training aircraft, and shortages of ordnance. There two most critically lacking areas were a continued adherence to traditional adversarial nature of their programs (for every one graduate, there were nine others who did not) and, of course, time. There was never enough time to develop the students’ skills, to practice attack tactics or defensive actions. Most of them arrived in combat squadrons with less than 200 hours in all, by the very end of the war, less than 100 hours. Most had to learn combat skills on the job once assigned to a combat squadron. By then, it is too late and few survived.
Many will harp on the overall superiority of the start of the war IJN carrier pilots. I would suggest that this, too, is somewhat of a distorted view. Popularly, the IJN pilots are given credit for racking up all this great combat experience in China. Well, so what about this great combat experience? This was exciting work, bombing raids blasting relatively, certainly by later wartime standards, undefended villages, towns, cities and the odd US gunboat. Fighter plane wise, this meant flying strike escort for these mostly unchallenged air raids; shooting up an occasional column of troops or refugees; and, on rare occasions, cornering a bunch of Russian built and Chinese flown I-15 biplanes or a rare I-16 monoplane.
Also, consider that IJN air units had considerably less involvement in China than IJA air units and that virtually all, if not actually all, during those critical first 12 months of the war, USN/USMC VF vs Japanese VF encounters, were against IJN VF. This is not to say the IJN flyers had no combat experience, but to posit instead that it was, perhaps, a "lower quality combat experience" than that for which they are popularly given credit . . . really not much more than overly realistic training. The entire argument of the IJN pilots having all this vast combat experience must rest on some fairly unlikely presuppositions, such as: that all IJN pilots/air groups went off to China and obtained this vast combat experience. That all sorties resulted in air-to-air combat action and as a result all VF pilots had the benefit of this air-to-air combat experience. And all VF air-to-air combat experience was obtained flying the A6M2. The extensions of these pre-suppositions are also equally unlikely: that all IJN pilots/air groups went off to fight the Americans with no pilot without this experience. That there were no PCS transfers out of these units. There had been no operational casualties in these units. There were no assignments of new pilots fresh from whatever advanced training to these units. And there were no PCS transfers into these units from pilots who were busy elsewhere during the China adventure.
Significantly, whatever combat experience the IJN pilots did acquire in China would only stand them good stead if the USN pilots flew like the Chinese Air Force . . . which was, most definitely, not the case.
So the popular theory is that these green, inexperienced, fresh from training, USN/USMC pilots faced all these, to a man, combat experienced, multiple victory, mature late 20's to early 30's, rock steady, hardened professionals. Not really true. Statistically unlikely.
The USN/USMC VF pilots of the period, while not combat experienced, were, in most cases, well trained, well led, and possessed of sound tactical doctrine. Their squadron commanders and executive officers, for the most part, were experienced aviators who had received their wings by the early 1930's, the division and section leaders usually had anywhere from three years to slightly less than a year in type. What do you suppose the USN/USMC pilots were doing while the IJN pilots were cavorting around in the air over China ... sitting around on their hands at the Kaneohe, Ford Island, or Norfolk NAS O Clubs? No, they were flying and training, flying and training, flying and training, ad nauseum. They had a good idea who they were going to have to fight, and some, Lt Cdr's James Flatley and John Thach being the prime examples, had a pretty good idea how they were going to go about it.
An example of the USN squadrons would be the aviators from one fighter squadron, VF-42, who fought against the Shoho, Zuikaku, Shokaku, Akagi, Soryu, Hiryu, and Kaga air groups, as well as aircraft stationed at Tulagi. VF-42 had spent some 8 months on Neutrality Patrols in the Atlantic, flying F4F's (and before that in its previous identity of VS-41, SBUs) off Ranger, Wasp, and Yorktown before Pearl Harbor. In June of 1941, the squadron was attached to the Yorktown and, with the coming of the war, went to the Pacific aboard her. The experience level for the squadron, reported on 30 April 1942, ranged from a high of 3019.3 hours (Flatley, the XO) down to 274.4 hours (Ens Gibbs, who joined the squadron on 8 December 1941). The average pilot hours for the squadron were 989.4. Note that 3.8 hours flying a day, 5 days a week, for a year would net you 988 hours flight time. In actuality, once assigned to a carrier squadron one could expect a pilot to acquire not more than about 10 hours a week if he really worked at it, or about 500 hours a year. Even in 1945, USN carrier pilots were still only averaging 10 hours a week in operational flying, this during the final July-August strikes. The squadron average, therefore, represents almost two years worth of flying experience.
The squadron suffered no combat casualties in the early raids, in fact, none until the Battle of the Coral Sea, where they lost two planes and one pilot in air-to-air combat. Another one plane and its pilot were lost operationally during the battle. The squadron was credited with 24 victories between 4 May 42 and 8 May 42. A month later, at Midway, where VF-42 pilots made up 64% (16 of 25) of Jimmy Thach's VF-3 pilots engaged on June 4th (and 59% of VF-3, overall), they lost 4 planes shot down and 2 pilots. Of claims confirmed and credited to pilots flying with VF-3 at Midway, 17 of 27 went to the VF-42 contingent. Of a total of 21 pilots assigned to this squadron from 7 December, 1941 to the end of June 1942 when it was disestablished, only 6 planes and 3 pilots were lost in combat. This squadron was one of only two that flew at both at Coral Sea and at Midway (the other squadron being the Yorktown's VB-5, which was temporarily re-designated "VS-5" during the Midway period) and the only US VF squadron whose pilots fought at both battles.
Where the real difference lay, as I am always so quick to point out, was in tactics . . . and this is where the discussion wraps back around to training . . . without training and practice in tactics you are just boring holes in the sky until someone shoots you down. While the USN/USMC VF pilots specialized in deflection gunnery, the IJN pilots, while having some training in deflection gunnery, tended to prefer the high side rear or frontal attack. If their target turned away at the last instance before firing, as the USN pilots were trained to react, the attack was spoiled. It has been said that true deflection gunnery tactics ended forever the concept of the "dogfight" as it had been practiced since WWI. If you do not practice the art of deflection gunnery and you find yourself up against someone who does, you re already behind the curve and in deep trouble. When you add Thach's beam defense to deflection gunnery, you are close to a world-beater. Escorting the Yorktown's VT-3 on its strike on the Japanese carriers at Midway, Jimmy Thach led a 4-plane VF-3 division as cover. After losing one plane (a VF-42 pilot, E. Bassett), in the initial contact with the Japanese CAP, he initiated the beam defense tactic with the remaining three planes of his division. They shot down at least four, and probably five, A6M2's with no further losses to themselves. In the process, they soaked up the attentions of some 12 of the Japanese CAP (almost a third of the airborne CAP) while the SBDs were gathering overhead. The Japanese reported that they had encountered some 18 Grumman fighters in this action.
By mid 1942 virtually all the USN/USMC squadrons operated in two plane sections and four plane divisions. Sections could be internally supportive one with one and externally supportive in divisions, two with two. The Japanese, on the other hand were saddled with the three-plane section, nine-plane division, a practice that looks nice in air shows and was more suitable for WWI type tactics. The 3-9 set up, indeed, evolved during WWI as it provides a better lookout doctrine in the biplane world. The 2-4 set up takes advantage of the monoplane construction with no overhead and forward wing to block the view. While one might think that the greater numbers would work to the Japanese advantage, in practice it was hard to maintain section cohesiveness. Oft times the third man in a section turned out to be the odd man out and it was he who was sure to get burned in an approach on weaving F4Fs. The USN/USMC fighter pilots were already experimenting with, and some squadrons had firmly established, the 2-4 formations before they ever got into the war. The Japanese maintained their 3-9 formations into 1944.
Bottom line is that the Japanese could not match the numbers of pilots trained and could not make good their own losses. In spite of what ever experience level they had acquired in China, that experience did not prepare them for combat against the USN. While they did not do badly at first, their inability to absorb losses and lessons pretty much led them down a path to futility. And, certainly, long road back for the USN, but one, especially as the Solomons campaign was drawing to a close, where a final victory lay as a prize at the end.
na leute was erwartet ihr denn nen historischen ablauf ohne das der japaner was machen kann ????
eigentlich ist man in dem spiel der kaiser von japan und wenn der sagt er will 50000 piloten gut ausbilden dann wird das auch passieren
also der vorteil seine produktion steuern zu können hilft dem japaner etwas aber er kann nix gegen miese nachwuchspiloten tun noch kann er unendlich bauen weil er muss im rahmen seiner industrie bleiben weil ohne ressis und so weiter sieht es ma schlecht aus für den japse
der grösste schwachpunkt der japse sind seine bodentruppen die sind einfach mal nur schlecht gerade wenn bedenkt wie stark die ami´s und russen da werden.
die 1944er truppen sind für den japse einfach ma unbesiegbar
das selbe gilt für flugzeuge der japaner bekommt da nichts wirklich total überlegendes die flugzeuge der alies sind einfach ma extrem viel stärker ab einem bestimmten zeitpunkt
und er bekommt gute piloten ma einfach so geschenkt die der japaner dann über 1,5- 2 jahre nachausbilden muss
zur produktion der allies : wie wollt ihr das realisieren ? der kapitalismus ist nun ma sehr unflexible was das ausbauen der wirtschaft angeht die bevölkerung ist verwöhnt und will reichlich haben und ein unternehmen tut erst dann was wenn gewinn bei rauskommt.
mal abgesehen davon sind die doofen deutschen ja auch noch da und fressen massiv menpower und nachschub und technik jeder art
ich denke die ami´s haben ihr wirtschaftliches potential schon ziemlich ausgenutzt,was in einer kapitalistischen geschellschaft möglich war. Wobei gerade bei den japanern und den deutschen da lange zeit mehr möglich war was steigende Produktionszahlen der endjahre auch zeigen der japanspieler stellt nur einfach sofort alles auf krieg um im gegensatz zu dem was in der geschichte passiert ist.
aber wenn einer da ne gute idee hat immer raus damit
Fazit: der ally wird das spiel gewinnen wenn er lange genug abwartet und nicht zu früh in die japanische Verteidigung rennt das spiel geht bis 1946 also muss der ally nicht ende 1942 kurz vor japan stehen wenn er da ende 1945 ankommt reicht das doch völlig aus
mein senf dazu
im Spiel ist nur für 50000 ( bisher ) Flugzeugführer zusammen platz tot oder lebendig!
zum höheren Ausbildungsstand stand der Alliierten das gabst eine Rotation der
Flugzeugführer (tour of duty)
bei der Luftwaffe / Japan da flogen der Flugzeugführer bis zum tot

Das sieht man hier besonders stark: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_World_War_II_flying_aces
In der Liste tauchen in den ersten 1/4 fast nur Deutsche und einige Japsen auf. Die Allierten haben nur ganz unten Platz. Ein Fakt ist eben, das die Achsenmächte ihre Piloten kaum auf anderen Posten wegrotiert haben. Sie blieben bis zum Tod/Kriegsende in der Flugzeugführerkanzel.
Die Allies haben dagegen extremst rotiert. Schon nach relativ kurzer Dienstzeit kamen die erfahrenen allierten Piloten in Ausbildungsstaffeln, Testfugstaffeln und auf leitende Posten in ihren Luftwaffen.
Die Taktik produziert zwar keine nationalen Helden ala Roter Baron, aber ist sehr nachhaltig, was die Pilotengewinnung angeht. Em Ende hatten die Allies eben recht. Viele gut ausgebildete, solide Piloten stechen einen Haufen aus ein paar Superhelden und ansonsten mangelhaftem Nachwuchspiloten.
es geht nicht darum was die allies gemacht haben und was nicht. hier im spiel geben die ihre piloten nun ma nicht ab!!! und selbst wenn kannste als japse nix machen weil egal was man an piloten in tracom hat,oder in der reserve bei dem was man bekommt ändert sich nix. deswegen sagte ich ja der japaner hat keinen einfluss darauf

Falsch entscheidend ist die Qualität eines Flugzeugs, danach die Anzahl und dann kommt die Einsatzstrategie und dann kommt die Qualität eines Piloten !
Ein Leistungsmäßig überlegener Flugzeugtyp, ist mehr wert als ein guter Pilot.
Wären die Rollen vertauscht gewesen zb. die Japaner hätten die Corsair gehabt und die US Piloten die Zero, da hätten die achso tollen US Piloten auch keinen Stich gesehen gegen die Boom and Zoom taktik ist die Zero völlig hilflos, auch muss man dafür kein Fliegerass sein. Ein mittelmäßiger Pilot ist dafür ausreichend. Im gegensatz dazu hätte der Topausgebildete US Pilot selbst nie einen Angriff starten können, weil die Leistung der Zero das einfach nicht zuläst. Im Prinzip kann er nur Abwehrmanöver fliegen an eine Verfolgung ist garnicht zudenken !
Die enormen Verluste sind auf diese schwäche zurückzuführen und nicht unbedingt auf das können von Piloten, die selbst wenn wollten nicht könnten... das gleiche könnte man über den 2 Hauptjäger sagen der Hayabusa die Leistungsmäßig noch schwächer ist, als die Zero.
Fazit: Selbst ein hohe Anzahl an Top Piloten auf Japanischer Seite wäre nicht entscheidend gewesen aufgrund ,der leistungsschwachen Hauptjäger Zero und Hayabusa...also was nützt ein Superpilot, der nach einen Treffer mit Brandmunition in seiner Maschine ein Grillfest feiern kann !
naja und was zum abschiessen muss ja auch da sein!!! Also als deutscher was zum abschiessen zu finden war net so schwer aber gerade einen deutschen zum abschiessen zu finden konnte durchaus sehr lange dauern
