Not sure your entirely aware Wolf however when you select a plane of any type and look at the bottom left of the pop up it says... "Escort/Patrol above" meaning you can set aircraft above any taskforce of you choosing. Meaning the Big E can have consistent CAP with AA fire.

Those 8 torpedo impacts on the light carrier felt so good to watch. No such thing as overkill when dealing with a carrier task force.

[@TheCurlsCrazy]

jesus that carrier-attack was just awsome (and overkill) :D

[@apleknight411]

8 torpedos is not enough, you gotta make sure it doesnt have a keel left. Would have been better it hit with 12 or hopefully 16.

[@simplycomplicated2357]

Always better to just crack the ship in half rather than give it a chance to save itself. Lol

[@frankklein1487]

Love following these episodes! One tip (if I may): When attacking with massive airpower, select your prime targets and hit them with only 75% of this air-armada. Keep 25% back and deploy them on any prime target that survives. If the first hit is 100% succesfull then attack any remaining other targets. Currently you often have overkill on one or more prime targets and not enough hits on others. This will remedy that. You now often resort to strafing the surviving targets, with high losses on planes. That's my tip, but far more important: Keep up the great work!

Wolf - The Bristol Beaufighter is known as the Whispering Death and although Torpedo Bombers, they are very capable fighter bombers. Four 20mm and 6 0.303 Browning Machine Guns. Later carried 8 RF3 Rockets packing the same broadside as a light cruiser. With two Bristol engines and a top speed of 312 mph.

Man, I love this. Daytime air raids, especially ones with twin engine planes, are my favorites in this series

[@TexasBoltAction]

man, in this alternate WW2 reality, the war in the Pacific was over in 1942 as the Japanese sent capital ship after capital ship to the slaughter in vain attempts to secure Port Moresby, leaving no navy or supply ships available to guard the approaches to the home islands.

[@simplycomplicated2357]

That was my thoughts exactly. The AI in this is beyond insane. Once he gets Guadalcanal, he basically has already won the war.

In hindsight, it was overboard with the light carrier. Half the torpedoes used to tear its right side open could have been used on the battleship or a merchant instead and left fewer priority targets for the second round. But live and learn.

8 torpedoes into that CVL, and almost in the exact same spot! That would have almost cut her in half. She never had a chance. The B25s had already slammed her from bow to stern. SHINANO would have been reeling from an attack like that! Rest in pieces, CVL.

I am amaze you didn't send P-38E with 2x1000AP bombs. I found them the best to destroy IJN carriers. I start battle with them super close to the enemy task force,hit the carrier hard, and than tell my P-38E to flee at top speed. The AI doesn't tell its plane to go full speed, so the Zeroes are unable to catch up. I lost 4 in one run and 2 in another. Both runs each resulted in a carrier sunk.

One thing the AI like doing is using pairs of sub to land raids. 1 carries 60 troops, and the other carries 100 supplies. Given that it takes several days to kill all of the raiders, it might be a good strategy on less strongly held locations.

Hi everyone, I've a little problem. I've been started my first campaign, with IJN, and now I've the first naval battle of Guadalcanal. Then, my proposal it's to cross the T and use the Long lances... BUT, when I click on fire, in the torpedoes panel, nothing change. I used both manual and automatic fire, no torpedoes go in the sea. I tried on various ships, nothing. I'm a newbie of course, but in training the torpedoes go... What the problem?

[@jasonmickey1613]

Love all these videos and really enjoy your narrations. While i do plan on getting the game, a question on play/strategy. Don't see you using many (if any) US submarines. Is the game geared more toward surface action w/ tactical use of aircraft? I get that everyone has their style, but IF they are available in game, I'd think using subs inter-mixed with surface groups (especially in 'The Slot') would be safer and more economical (maybe) than ram-roding aircraft or surface groups in a confined area. JUST A QUESTION. I'm sure I'll get some colorful feedback from the community. Again, REALLY enjoy your videos on ALL your games. It's really a great way to learn.

[@randomsomewhat-kinda-quasi1065]

From what i can understand, i belive that the reason ships tend to so easily catch on fire when strafing is that there’s some «spots» on each ship that, when hit enough times with bullets from strafing, automatically causes a fire + dramatic explosion. It’s easy to spot when strafing a single ship with multiple aircrafts pluss each «spot» can only be ignited once. Please don’t take this seriosly, i’m not a coder nor do i know much about it. This is just my theory on how the game works with strafing on ships

[@Koshiku]

From what I see, it's the same spots as shown on the damage control tab. When shot enough times to become black, they explode dramatically (and only once each, obviously). Additionally, if the destroyer carries any supplies, it is more likely to catch fire when fired at.

Yup, early American torpedos had a really high dud rate because the Ordinance Bureau never tested them because they were expensive in the inter-war period. Even 2-3 years the ordinance bureau still denied that there was any thing wrong with the Mark 14 torpedos.
