Are you going to be going for a second wave at Pearl? Or are other matters more pressing? Also sign me up for I-168!

Three months from now, Chungking will become a battle that will make KIAfeng look like children's playtime. The best (?) part is that it won't be Grey's fault.

AtomikKrab posted:They are loving plotting with the battleships, because grey hunter maybe failed to sink ANY. Is Grey just unlucky, or is WitP just that bad at modeling single actions? Is there any possibility of a "battle off Samar" type action, for example, or would Japanese BBs and CAs brush aside Allied DEs and CVEs every time?

gradenko_2000 posted:Well, he didn't gently caress up Pearl Harbor the first time he went there either, if you get my drift  How many days of bombing in game would it take to get a "historical" level of damage at Pearl? Seems like every time I see a WitP game opening the first raid isn't nearly as painful as it could be (should be?).

goatface posted:60 kg bombs won't do much, might blow off an AA gun if it hits the right place. If most of them were 250s or even some 500s then they might be hurting a bit more. Is there any way to tell what bombs they were carrying? Or even make a good guess? I'm guessing no, because grog games dot tee ex tee.

So if Chungking is Japan's Kaifeng, what will be its weird "KIAfeng" nickname? "Chungkilling"?

Night10194 posted:I am beginning to think the Zero's capabilities are strongly overstated. I think somebody mentioned that this game's air combat model strongly favors the dive attack (it gives excessive bonuses for starting at higher altitude than the other guy)--that's the form of combat that US planes excel at. So I'm not surprised. The more I see Grey play these kinds of hyper-detailed grog wargames, the more I question where the devil the devs justified calling these games "realistic".

Comstar posted:So all up...a draw? No the decisive battle the IJN would want. Heck, until we get confirmation of a second dead Allied carrier, this might have been a win for them (1 carrier confirmed down on their side, 1 CV and 1 CVL on ours).

Wow. That was certainly a thing. Although it's kinda funny how your BBs blasted BB Idaho 60 times and it still took the Betty's torpedoes to tap it out.

Can you load up the game as the Allies and confirm which carriers if any were sunk? Call it getting hands on American newspapers from spies or something, since this seems like the kind of thing SIGINT SHOULD be tracking instead of, you know, Tokyo Bay Fortress.

Kibayasu posted:The Japanese army probably sent a poorly fabricated note signed "The Navy (who sucks)" explaining how the navy has concluded they're a bunch of honourless dogs and don't deserve the fine Japanese craftmanship and they should just concentrate on building tanks for the army because the army is so much better and cooler than the navy. Doesn't the army also have their own airframe production which was presumably also turned off? I'd just blame the UI and WitP's obsession with rivet counting.

"Hacking my way through 600,000 Chinese troops will not only give me 2,800 points it will REMOVE 1,400 points from the Allied score – for a net change of 5,600. This is if the losses from the battle are even." Wait, how does this point shift work? Those two values add to 4200, not 5600. And of course, that assumes you won't take massive losses somewhere else that'll drop your score.

I still think you should open the game as the Allies and figure out what the heck is going on "under the hood". It seems like the game has broken systemically since Jan 1944 at least.

Load the game as the Allies and manually disband all the units in Chungking--they're all basically "ghosts" anyway, since in any normal wargame they'd be out of supply or straight up would not exist. It's only because of this game's stupid, STUPID modeling that they're causing you trouble.
