Roccia (Allies) vs Ozgur (Jap) - Campagna storica 41-45 (da Dicembre '42)

ok, dai, vi è uscito male, questo è il turno del 1° aprile ma oggi 5!

 

Stavolta mi è andata male, spero di infliggere perdite pesanti anche al nemico

 

Ma nessun attacco da parte dei tuoi aerei imbarcati?

 

...azz!!! mi spiace, non era mia intenzione portati sfiga, avevo apprezzato molto la "sorpresina " che avevi preparato per i suoi "catorci".
Spero tu possa rendere pan per focaccia..... intanto vedi di mandare a riparare le piste degli aereoporti a quella decina di migliaia di prigionieri itterici che farai a Burma

 

Ragazzi sto seriamente pensando di abbandonare gioco e partita.

Ci sta buscarle e darle ma perdere l'intera flotta in un turno e non spiegarsi quello che è successo è frustrante.
Sapevo che avevo la KB di fronte ma io avevo 6 CV a pieno organico, tutte aggiornate, con piloti esperti mentre il mio avversario aveva subito forti logoramenti.

Vi dò un esempio di battaglia aerea, da far cadere le braccia.

Le sue CV sono uscite intonse, mentre la mia CAP ben più numerosa era come non esistesse...passavano che era un piacere.

Non so se abbia senso proseguire, sapevo che esisteva un problema di CAP alleata quando numerosa ma si parlava di 500/600 aerei in uno stesso esagono!!!
Ho perso per ora la Lexington ma le altre sono oramai prede facili, visto che invece il mio avversario può fare ciò che vuole.

Ho il morale a terra...riporto la battaglia completa qui di seguito per darvi meglio l'idea.

I suoi aerei a bassissima quota hanno evitato il grosso della CAP, a che altezza erano i tuoi wildcat?
Sul mollare non sono mai d'accordo, i risultati "incomprensibili" sono da prendere e accettare in un senso o nell'altro, di solito a me dopo un paio di giorni di scoramento passa, sono sicuro che troverai altri modi di fermare il nemico, Birmania, DEI, Cina, cerca soddisfazioni dove non servono CV...

 

Erano impostati a 10000 piedi

 

@roccia75 : sinceramente trovo strani i primi due raid, quelli con solo 10/12 B5N2. Il resto mi pare normale. I tuoi bombardieri avevano una scorta ben poco consistente. O no?

 

Avevo impostato i miei caccia con 60% CAP e resto in escort, nessun rest per questo turno.
Sul perchè dei risultati non so, tutte le squadriglie imbarcate avevano esperienza 70 con diversi assi. Oramai è andata...ho deciso di non perderci più tempo e farmi sangue marcio: avevo 6 CV e 8 CVE e tutto quello che ho saputo fare sono i raid di cui sopra in ben 2 turni! 500 aerei imbarcati per 2 bombe??? Risultato normale? Ok va bene, allora che senso avrebbe stare sulla difensiva per un altro anno (tempo richiesto per mettere insieme una flotta che se la vedesse alla pari con la KB) per poi rischiare di rivedere lo stesso film?

Fermate il treno, io scendo qui...

 

Non volevo provocare, non ho letto tutto l'aar. Dai report non pareva proprio che avessi 500 aerei.

 

Avevo nell'area di 3 esagoni 6 CV e 8 CVE a pieno carico...a spanne 500 aerei. Bruciati in 2 turni per "non-attacchi" o portaerei messe KO da CAP bucata come il burro
Ripeto ci sta perdere ma con un senso.

 

Non so che dirti. Dormici su e riguarda il tutto a mente fredda. So bene come ci si incazza in questi casi.

 

Batti il chiodo finché è caldo.
Partita chiusa (vinta sul campo dal mio avversario), peccato perché fino ad ora l'avevo portata avanti abbastanza bene credo...amen.
In questo mondo parallelo la bandiera del Sol Levante sventola a San Diego.

Scusate lo sfogo, a volte fa bene anche solo parlarne. Per un po non vorrò più prendere in mano questo gioco...abbiate pazienza. Non ho più la voglia di impiegarvi le poche ore di tempo libero a disposizione.

 

credo che il tuo avversario abbia fatto richiesta per la tua sostituzione sul forum della matrix.
ho una mezza intenzione di accettare la sfida, se sei d'accordo, però prima vorrei vedere la situazione generale.

 

qualcuno mi spiega cos'è successo in quest'ultima fase ??

 

Soltanto roccia può farlo, a noi mancano troppi elementi per rispondere a questa domanda (sempre ammesso che risposta ci sia).

Quindi lo stentarello era oaltintay per davvero...ha insistito così tanto a dire che non era lui il tuo avversario che ci avevo creduto. Chiamalo 'fidati' l'ottomano, aveva paura che leggessi il suo aar per poi riferire. Vabbè dai, tutto sommato lo capisco.

 

già pare fosse proprio lui.... l'otto settembre ci perseguita.

 

Mi ha scritto un MP per chiedermi se conosco qualcuno disposto a prendere in mano la partita. Gli ho detto che ci sei te che ci stai pensando. E che non sei un ragazzino, ma un uomo con buone conoscenza stroriche, e che quindi presumo tu sia un avversario tutto sommato credibile, per quel poco che ne so. Spero di non aver messo il carro davanti ai buoi.

 

grazie Cohimbra.
Per correttezza però vorrei che Roccia mi desse il suo benestare, prima di accettare... e poi voglio vedere la situazione generale.

 

Ho scritto 'ci sta pensando', e solo dopo aver visto la tua candidatura sul suo thread. Good luck
