Since many people, including myself like to watch you sink ships, perhaps a better way we can do that and not take up so much time is make a short compilation of you sinking transports.

I have to say out of all the let's plays of this game that are going on right now, Yours is by far the best. You have a good solid pace and you are actually advancing time.

[@georgecoventry8441]

Well done again. Regarding dive bombing attacks...the best approach to doing that in the actual war was found to be: approach the target ship from astern, so that you are going the same direction as the ship is...try to drop your bombs to hit dead center. This works better than approaching from ahead of the ship, because the ship is going the same direction as you are....therefore the bombs are more likely to hit their target than when the ship is moving in the opposite direction....causing a much quicker closing rate to the target. I don't know, however, if this would happen in the game. You'll have to try it and see. In Atlantic Fleet I generally bomb ships from directly astern of them, as it makes a hit more likely...specially with dive bombing.

[@cragnamorra]

The County sinking brings out an interesting little facet of this game: as long as fires are still burning on a ship, be patient and don't give up hope she may go down. Fires continue to eat away at compartment integrity resulting in later flooding, and sometimes can spread faster than the DC teams put them out. Occasionally a ship can start with Minor damage and zero flooding, but eventually burn up. Especially true for loaded merchants, which have pretty significant fire-extinguishment penalties (especially the fuel-laden oilers). Of course sometimes it's the reverse; what looks like a doomed ship burning stem to stern manages to put the fires out. Just saying, one may want to delay exiting the battle (if possible...sometimes it's not) until all the enemy ships' fires are out. I like leaving a spotter floatplane just lazily circling above at safe-from-AA altitude to watch. (comment not really specifically directed at Wolfpack, just a general remark).

[@kristoferstowe437]

I honestly think you have a pretty good balance between the combat footage and the charting and plotting I don't mind watching the mopping up. I enjoy the content as it is. I like sitting here and watching the video and guessing with you is to whether or not we should hit it again 😁🤔

[@TokioExpress]

Good operational security would be to place 3-4 submarines in the space between Rennell Island to San Cristobal, San Cristobal to Malaita, Malaita to San Isabel and Guadalcanal to the Russell Islands. A good sub net can engage anything that moves in to the area and tell you the enemy’s force composition. I’ve had this submarine monitoring network up for about a week in-game and we are sinking so much enemy merchant shipping that I have 2 heavy surface forces, 1 smaller task force and a carrier group operating to the north. Also having a sub network will allow you to have eyes literally everywhere.

[@ignaciogaloso8541]

Hey wolfpack, I have realized a way to make planes attack efficiently. You must set the target manually yo each plane un each squadron, and ehen they are close/ready to attack select the squad(not just the squad leader) and set them to attack. Each plane will calculate when to drop bombs, suitable for themselves, instead of using the aim of the squad leader(which will result in them dropping bombs too early). Same to the fighters, when they are close to the enemy select them all and set them to attack. If not, the other planes will just be aside the squad leader spectating, instead of fighting

[@swordmonkey6635]

The one thing I'd like to see the AI do is recovery missions when one of their ships goes down. Even the IJN would use destroyers and cruisers to recover men in the water or even transfer men from a badly damaged ship to another. I'm sure the USN had the same policy when men were in the water. I could see the transports (what you keep calling merchant ships) being ordered to come to and begin rescue ops after the threat has been chased away.

[@DEP1323]

Please keep this series going. I also wish for you to keep all content shown. I enjoy watching the merchant attacks. I have been learning while watching you. Why not try to set your planes to attack individually so they release their bombs at each optimal point. Instead of when in a group, the lead plane drops the the whole group drops and will miss a majority of them.

[@Wolf-Rayet_Arthur]

Yes I think I agree with your sentiment: probably best not to show every encounter with merchant fleets.

Dude... *You've got to start bombing the destroyers FIRST.* Two things... 1-) It gets rid of a lot of their triple A and machine-gun fire (saving more planes)... and, 2-) It gets rid of the biggest threat to your submarines, allowing you to stay close to the action, reload and torpedo something else, with no fear of being taken out by a depth charge attack. Without those destroyers, you can pick everything else off with relative ease.

[@kampfkatze6092]

[@KingKong-jh6mg]

i would not get to many escorts for carriers. Hear me out: You want your carriers to be in the backline and attack enemy ships from a distance with your planes. If you get a carrier in a surface engagement something went horribly wrong and you didn't use your scoutairplanes/fighterairplaines properly to get an early warning. The only threat are submarines. Thats why i would advise getting 2 destroyers and a light cruiser with ASW capabilities as escorts.

[@foreverpinkf.7603]

You´re attacking with the dive planes from quite low altitude. Maybe you should try to go up to 3000 or more. If you are using groups of planes, it would be better to attack from different directions to make it harder for the ships to concentrate the AA-fire.

I'd hate to miss out on any ships sinking, and watching bombs and torpedoes land never gets old. Sure do some agressive cutting but at least leave in the actual hits in my opinion!

[@madkyngehenry4401]

Nice thought about the CV task force, but why not add a couple of light cruisers? From what I remember of ship types, Destroyers are best at ASW (anti-Submarine), while Light Cruisers were particularly good for AA (anti-Air) work. Just thought a couple of CL's might make the Americans think twice about attacking that Task Force if they know there's a carrier on the other side.

[@ramal5708]

When you utilize a head on dive bombing on a ship its best to use it against older cruisers first because they lack forward AA guns secondly chances of misses is reduced because the target profile is bigger and she's moving towards the bombersa, heck even with some level bombers too, but in this game sometimes you have to rely on the pilot or luck for bombs to hit, because you don't have direct control over them. But if its Battlestations game it would be 100% bomb hits for. I think it's much better than attacking from the sides or behind. But it's extremely risky against US destroyers and modern cruisers likes Atalanta, Cleveland or Baltimore classesbecause they have heavy forward DP mounts

I definitely have better luck dive bombing from an angle, but strafing and level bombing I like to go in-line. I think of it in terms of how the weapon misses: if left-right then attack on the beam, if long-short then stem-to-stern. I always lose planes when dive bombing; level bombing is so much safer, but the dive bombing cinematics are why I bought the game and are just too cool to pass up, even with carrier aircraft.
