About this mod
East Indies Campaign
Is a new Standalone Map and Mod centering around the Dutch East Indies in early 1942

Allied Campaign - The ABDACOM Defensive.
Japanese Campaign - Centrifugal Offensive.
ABOUT THIS GAME
1942: The world is at war
The Japanese Empire expands throughout the Pacific where Allied forces attempt to halt its spread. A desperate struggle for control of the Solomon Islands is now underway.
How will you protect your transports as they deliver troops and supplies in the South Pacific? Will you deploy precious aircraft carriers to provide air cover? Do you screen the area with submarines? Or attempt to lure the enemy navy into a decisive surface engagement?
Major Features:
Real time naval combat
Theatrical external-view game play
Play as Allied Forces or Imperial Japan
Over 50 classes of playable ships
Dynamic campaign
Tactical control of aircraft (not a flight simulator)

Taff, I beg of you, set your aircraft‘s patrol distance to 0. When you assign fighters to escort something, there is a slider for how close fighters patrol on the same window as the drop-down to select the group being escorted. Also, when attacking bombers, lower your fighter‘s speeds when they get close so they don‘t wildly loop and overshoot!

You have to set fighter speed for attacking bombers? You have to tell pilots how to pilot? That's some dumb AI / game design.

A6M Zero was quite fast and so in game they project the same behaviour, a solution is that you should manually select the fighter squadrons and reduce their speed. This will be very effective

Yeah, several other streamers of the War on the Sea do exactly that so that they are able to maneuver better and shred the bombers better!

Also micromanaging the dog fights, switching targets changing altitude, breaking away when in danger, cutting speed, to let enemy plane pass

17 episodes in and we've yet to see a major fleet engagement; I'd love to see some cruiser on cruiser action. It would be fitting for the Java Sea, after all.

The problem with recording videos in batches is that when you're making a glaringly obvious mistake, you can't correct it till much later.

When you first spotted that task force, a few of the ships ran aground. That's where the damage has come from.

One of the most annoying things is that there is not a 'shadow' command for aircraft. I hate micro managing a spotter's course.

I’m currently micromanaging dogfights, cutting speed switching targets breaking off when in trouble, the results are great when compared to just letting it play out

@MyKirill1 7 ай бұрын

An example is when fighters engage bombers like in this video, I individually cut speed so they can engage in first pass, or select a different angle for them to attack from, another example is when engaging American dive/torpedoe planes approaching from the low rear to a avoid rear mg fire

@@thisherehandleIdospout I did not even intend to joke. First few times American fighter pilots encountered Kawasaki Ki-61 Hien, they reported to their bases "the Japanese are flying German aircraft!". I remember reading that because Japan joined the Axis Powers, a German engineer got his say in Japanese design table and as a result, Kawasaki Ki-61 Hien looked very much like Messerschmitt Bf-109.
