What is War on the Sea?
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?

I would suggest having two asymetrical transport fleets for supply: 1- a small fleet with only a minimal old DD escort to make fast round trips from Rabaul to the Shetlands and unloading all supply there (it would be protected by air patrols from Rabaul) 2- the current bigger cargo fleet doing longer round trips from the Shetlands to Guadalcanal, on the trip down to Guadalcanal it would be escorted by the fresh cruiser task force; and once it has unloaded the cargo at Guadalcanal it would be escorted up to the Shetlands by the returning expended cruiser task force; both cruiser task forces refuel and rearm on the Shetlands so as to not need to go up to Rabaul (only the damaged ships detach and go to Rabaul). The slot from the shetlands to Guadalcanal should be patrolled by aircraft from the Shetlands and G4Ms from Rabaul

13:54 I think you just picked up those contacts visually. Japanese radar (execept the Yugumo destroyer) is only able to spot air targets, not surface ships; if you look at the radar specs it says they have a surface range of 0 NM. So you aren't getting anything from using the radar on the cruisers. It might actually be hurting you because the manual says that a firing solution improves if the target is using radar, so you might be giving the enemy an accuracy buff for no gain.
@Wolfpack345
@Wolfpack345 3 жыл бұрын
The firing solution improves if the ship doing the targeting is using radar. Not if you are being targeted by a ship using radar. Although it says that it is only aircraft radar it did improve your solutions against surface ships. This was not intentional and has been patched after this video was recorded.

@@Wolfpack345 Oh, I didn't know the bug was there at the time of recording. However, I'm reasonably sure that radar does work both ways in that while it does improve the solution of the ship using it, it also helps enemy get a better solution on the user. I'm reading off pages 29 and 32 of the pdf manual if you want to check for yourself.

​@@bobtank6318 Ah interesting. I suppose I misinterpreted the "Target using radar" line I do think that is kind of odd. I am not really familiar with RWR on American and Japanese ships at this particular time but I think the fact that it helps targeting is an questionable game mechanic. For example most of the RWR units equipped on U-boats would not give range or even an accurate direction of where the radio waves were coming from. According to this the Japanese were not even using Radar Detection systems until 1944 www.combinedfleet.com/radar.htm

One thing to consider. When you destroy an enemy ship. The enemy gets command points for the ship being destroyed as well. It's done to keep the AI competitive apparently. They can only resupply from their home port. So it might of been a wise decision to let the enemy merchants live to force them to sail back to home port for more supplies. To keep them out of the fight for a few days. Otherwise they just instantly respawn with supplies and will head to your bases again. Something to think about for anyone reading this comment.

Naval combat, especially in WW2 and in this theater, had many examples of a force fighting multiple engagements, against surface and/or air enemy, in rapid succession. It often happened that they fought off the first (or first few) but eventually succumbed to damage, often after running out of ammo. Dorchester and Cornwall, Duke of Wales and Repulse, Exeter, Houston, Perth, Yamato, Musashi, Surigao Strait... all involved multiple attacks in rapid succession over the space of just a few hours. For this reason I call the “one hour combat cooldown” both unrealistic and broken.

A way around the spotting that I found was to keep 1 float plane on one of your ships and launch it as soon as an encounter is made, it will start the plane above your force and allow you to use it to spot in the tactical map.

If you destroy enemy ships they cannot respawn them so it pays to hunt down groups you can kill, especially Atlanta class, as getting rid of them early will help your air campaigns.

Seems like a good time to start up the Tokyo Express! Cargo ships are better used for transporting fuel, engineering and supply points as they're a bit too slow with troops unless you're conducting a major invasion somewhere. Since you have a foothold on Guadalcanal I think several groups of destroyers (eg. 2 or 3 Flotillas of 3 DD's = 750 troops per run) would be a much faster way to get more boots on the ground to swing the balance of power. Doing this would also ensure you always will have some sort of combat surface vessels in the vicinity to interdict American supply groups, hunt subs, and generally keep the way clear for your transports. Even if you found yourself outgunned in a DD vs CL engagement, you do have those long-lance torpedoes and could carpet the area while retreating, staying at a safe distance while still in the battle till the torpedoes arrive and hopefully damage a few of your pursuers, or even sink some of them. DD's are also comparatively cheap so you can get a lot of troops to the AO very quickly for the commander points you invest. If you got the Tokyo Express up and running you could focus your supply efforts on upgrading the Shortland Islands Port and Airfield to Lvl5 to give you long-range aerial dominance over the whole Solomons Island chain AND a strong FOB/port from which to resupply ships and dispatch transports to Guadalcanal. I think you are absolutely on the money with the plan to upgrade the Shortland Islands, but could position yourself even better strategically in the long-term if you increased the bases there past Level 3 all the way to 5. Rabaul, Shortland Islands and Guadalcanal all at Level 5 Port+Airfield would give you an iron grip strategically on the Eastern Solomon Sea and island chain. So excited to see how you approach the situation in the next episode!

The AI seems to do that double convoy thing a fair bit.. and because, once you attack something, it disappears from the map for a bit, that's the only time you discover there was more than one.

Lol so far seems pretty accurate. Japanese building up an airfield got some early victories but then americans managed to land on guadalcanal however after that the american navy was obliterated and they had to retreat and regroup. Really enjoying the series tho.

Wolfpack, you should use planes to do more scouting for you. If I'm not mistaken, your cruisers should have scout planes. There should be Zeros on Guadalcanal that you can use too. They can allow you to more effectively deploy your ships. Also, I would recommend using your other islands as supply hubs for multiple smaller groups of cargo ships for faster troop/supply transportation.

Personally I would get TF6 out of there long before dawn. If the US CV is within range at dawn then you will surely be bird bait. Coupled with poor IJN AA you will lose ships. The IJN knew this and vacated the area before dawn without fail. I wouldn't rely on your relatively small airfield to protect you. By all means prove me wrong. It would be interesting!!!

That landing was strange but at least it's historically accurate :D. Looking forward to next episode, to see whether you'll be able to keep Guadalcanal long enough for Task Force 7 to arrive with reinforcements (and then the new transport group but those will take much longer)

Hey Wolfpack just a warning (bought the game, already returned it 2 days later 😂😂) The AI ,as you did suspect, has unlimited resources. As a result they will literally throw death stacks at you nearly constantly. Honestly it was the main reason I returned the game as it became so grinding that as soon as I sank one, a fully supplied and ready American battle group would show up on my doorstep and would usually kick the crap out of my already worn fleet. As soon as I lost one battle it just became a slippery slope and they inevitably beat me into submission. Just a heads up so you can plan accordingly

I am certainly excited by the unintentional setback. The invasion gives you something to really focus on, a mission, a goal, rather than simply "smash the enemy wherever you meet him." Hopefully it works out to be an interesting battle, requiring multiple missions and battle surrounding it, rather than an anti-climactic end. due to RNG.

I believe using radar would be an disadventage since the surface ships have air radar and not surface radar. This means that you have no use in an surface engegement but the enemy can pick up your radar signals (atleast if that is in the game)
