Je partage l'avis de Mat.

C'est certes un léger revers, mais sur tous les autres front il perd (Chine, birmanie) ou patine (pacifique sud est).

Ne serait-il pas tentant de débarquer sur les arrières des fuyards de Birmanie??

griffon a écrit : ↑sam. mars 16, 2019 2:11 pm Je suis tres inquiet pour Elvis

non seulement son aéronavale a perdu son "punch" mais je ne suis pas sur que sa TF

puisse faire sa jonction avec les tankers partis de Mulein

S'il n'y arrive pas ses CV vont finir "dead in the water"

Décidément on ne doit pas lire le même AAR

A part une énorme catastrophe (comme la perte de toute l'aéronavale nippone dans les 11 mois à venir) je ne vois pas ce qui priverait Elvis d'une magnifique victoire début 1945...
Il suffit de constater que même avec un serieux accroc à Colombo, la marine japonaise est encore à la manœuvre un peu partout. Dans le cas présent c'est bien le camp allié qui me semble manquer de punch surtout au regard de la date...

Pourquoi ?

23 CV de classe Essex en production , d'innombrables B24 et B29 ...... , des myriades de navires et de chasseurs ......

et viser Aout 45 pour trancher me semble plus correct que Janvier !

Chaque 1er janvier à compter de 43, le jeu teste les points et peut déclarer un vainqueur.
Sauf remontée spectaculaire, ça devrait arriver le 1/1/45.

Aircraft N1K5-J George advances R&D
Le N1K5 George devrait etre disponible en Avril/Mai 1944
Il remplacera les N1K2 dont la production a été stoppée depuis quelques semaines afin d éviter de me retrouver avec un gros stock sur les bras...

En Birmanie, les américains tentent d intervenir pour protéger la 17eme division indienne, en lancant leurs dernier modèle du P-38 Lightning en couverture aérienne...
Mais nos chasseurs interviennent et nettoient facilement le ciel : il faut dire que nous bénéficions d une large supériorité numérique, sans compter que nos pilotes sont tous des cracks, avec plus de 70+ en exp, 70+ air et 70+ def....
De plus grace a sa vitesse, le P-38 est un excellent chasseur pour mener des opérations offensives, sweep, mais un piètre défenseur à cause de sa manœuvrabilité inferieure au George et au Frank

xAK Surakaruta Maru arrives at Nagasaki/Sasebo

j ai considérablement réduit le programme de construction de navires marchands ( AK, Cargo et TK Tanker) car nous avons peu de pertes à compenser.
Seuls les navires prévus avant l automne 44 et surtout avec une large capacité de transport et un long rayon d action.

En fait je ne garde que les cargo avec une capacité de transport fuel en plus de leur cargaison, car ils serviront dans mes nombreux convois qui viennent ravitailler le Japon en ressources et Petrole....
Les tankers étant destinés au transport de fuel en priorité, et petrole si seulement les stocks sont suffisants dans mes hubs avant acheminement vers le Japon...

Round 2 en Birmanie
L USAAF insiste en Birmanie en envoyant de nouveaux P-38 Lightning au dessus de la 17eme division indienne, mais comme la veille, ils sont facilement rayés du ciel....
Voilà qui devrait augmenter le tableau de chasse de nos pilotes, ainsi que leur expérience si cela était nécessaire...

En Chine, une nouvelle fois pas de tirs d artillerie à Chihkiang pour économiser le ravitaillement
Néanmoins, la journée n'est pas sans des affrontements a reporter puisque la 54th escadrille de chasse, équipée de Ki-44 IIC Tojo, mène des missions offensives au dessus de Chungking, capitale chinoise, et affrontent 3 P-40N ennemis venus à leur les intercepter...
Il faut reconnaître un certain courage aux pilotes chinois pour affronter un ennemi plus de 10 fois supérieur, mais désagréable surprise, le niveau des pilotes ennemis est incroyablement élevé alors que nous puissions que les chinois étaient de médiocres pilotes...

Le 2nt Lt Degawa parvient cependant à abattre un des 3 mousquetaire, offrant ainsi sa 2nd victoire, et oblige les 2 autres pilotes chinois a se replier...
Un des Ki-44 IIc Tojo est sérieusement endommagé : il parviendra a retourné à notre base de Kweyang, mais l appareil est déclaré irréparable et servira au sein de l escadrille pour pourvoir des pièces détachées...

2LT Degawa K. of 54th Sentai is credited with kill number 2...

non seulement son aéronavale a perdu son "punch" mais je ne suis pas sur que sa TF

puisse faire sa jonction avec les tankers partis de Mulein

S'il n'y arrive pas ses CV vont finir "dead in the water"

non pas de problème : le groupe aéronaval a réussi a faire sa jonction avec la flotte de ravitaillement, et les porte-avions ont pu regagner Singapour sans problème, où les escadrilles embarquées seront recompletées en appareils et pilotes...

En Birmanie, on bombarde toujours la 17eme division indienne, tant qu elle se trouvera sur les plaines avant d atteindre le couvert de la jungle a quelques miles au nord ouest, et en espérant refaire sortir la chasse alliée...
Mais il est fort probable qu ils ont retenu la leçon et continueront à lasser souffrir les fantassins indiens...

En Chine, il est temps de mettre définitivement un terme au siège et éliminer les derniers rémanences de l armée chinoise autrefois forte de plus de 130,000 hommes
Bien que fatigués, mais encouragés par leurs officier et la promesse d une victoire certaines, nos hommes repartent à l attaque
Les dernieres positions chinoises sont enfoncées et les soldats ennemis affamés et epuisés jettent rapidement leurs armes offrant leur reddition inconditionnelle...
Mais alors que la journée est presque achevée, alors que l on amene des colonnes de plusieurs milliers de prisonniers ennemis vers l arrière, on entend encore ci et là quelques explosions et des coups de feu éparses...
Il reste encore quelques irréductibles qui n ont pas encore abandonner le combat...

Dans le Pacifique, les américains effectuent leur première action offensive depuis de longue semaine en venant bombarder les positions de la qui tient l ile de Manus
Encore une fois, l ennemi fait dans la démesure en envoyant une vingtaine de croiseurs bombarder une ile tenue par une faible garnison et sans aucun appareil japonais sur les pistes de la base aérienne...
Néanmoins, cela nous permet d estimer les forces ennemies dans la région, alors que de notre coté nous ne pouvons aligner qu une dizaine de croiseurs...
Maintenant il faut savoir si il s agit juste d un raid, ou si il s agit des premières actions offensives avant un débarquement à Manus...

Fin de l opération Curry Jaune avec le retour du groupe aéronaval à Singapour, son port d attache
Il va maintenant falloir recompleter les escadrilles et trouver de nouveaux pilotes ....
Operation Curry jaune sera officiellement déclaré comme un retentissant succès par nos services d information, démontrant la capacité de la Marine Impériale à frapper l ennemi au cœur meme de son Empire !!!

Longue vie à l Empereur Elvis Hito !!!

Mais une victoire couteuse, car les 3 escadrilles de bombardier D4Y4 Judy ont été quasi détruites...
Pas trop de problème pour les D4Y4 Judy car nous en avons plus de 200 en réserve et la production suit son cours, mais il va falloir puiser dans nos maigres réserves de pilote expérimentés...
Il va falloir pousser le programme d entrainement des pilotes de la Marine Impériale en favorisant non plus les pilotes de chasse, mais les pilotes de bombardier dont le taux de perte est beaucoup plus important...

E No.2 arrives at Tokyo

Sans surprise, nous bombardons la 17eme Indian Division en Birmanie, même si il faut reconnaître que l efficacité de ce genre de mission est discutable à la vue des faibles pertes occasionnées (squads destroyed)...

Les américains nous rendent l appareil en bombardant les semblants d unités japonaises agonisantes au sud de Rabaul
A noter, les résultats des attaques américaines sont bien meilleurs que les notres, car d une part les bombardiers US emportent beaucoup plus de bombes que nos appareils, et surtout les effectifs sont largement plus importants : Ainsi ils arrivent à détruire nos squads car ceux ci sont d abord endommagés (disabled) et continuent de recevoir des bombes, occasionnant encore plus de dommages si bien qu ils passent de disabled à destroyed...

En Chine, le moment tant attendu est enfin arrivé
Nous lançons l ultime attaque contre les derniers point de résistance de la poche de Chihkiang
Il ne reste plus que quelques groupes éparses de soldats chinois affamés, et a court de supply après plusieurs mois de siège quand nos armées avaient réussi a enfermer une 20aine d unités ennemie comptabilisant plus de 200,000 hommes...
C'est l ultime victoire mettant fin à la campagne du Centre de la Chine qui tombe, presque entièrement sous notre contrôle....
Après avoir célébré comme il se doit cette victoire, il va maintenant falloir réfléchir à la suite des opérations sur ce théâtre d opération...
Plusieurs options sont sur la table
- conquête de l Ouest du pays pour faire la jonction avec la Birmanie, et la capture de la ville industrielle de Kumming
- choc des titan avec campagne pour la prise du cœur industriel du pays dont la capitale Chungking, ou il y a tout de même plus de 150 unités en défense
- Statu quo et renforcement de nos positions afin d économiser supply et materiel, afin d envoyer des troupes dans le Pacifique ou nous manquons de division..
- Attaque préemptive contre l URSS

Mais si toute la population du Japon fête cette victoire à Chihkiang comme annonciatrice de la Victoire finale toute proche, à l état major impérial, en particulier au sein du QG des forces aériennes de la Marine Impériale, certains officiers généraux se font du souci...
Nous étudions les rapports annonçant la formation future des escadrilles dans les prochain jours...
Ces escadrilles arrivent avec seulement un ou 2 appareils et il faut puiser dans nos stocks pour compléter les effectifs : cela n est pas un grave probleme car cela a été anticipé et nous comptons généralement 200 appareils en réserve pour les principaux modèles...
Le problème, ce sont les pilotes, et en particulier les jeunes cadets
En effet, nous n avons pas besoin d'unités supplémentaires en 1ere lignes , et ces nouvelles escadrilles serviront soit à la défense du Japon, mais aucune menace n est encore à prévoir, soit à la formation des jeunes pilotes...
Au QG aérien de l IJA, armée de terre, on se frotte les mains, car il y a encore plus de 1,000 cadets qui attendent leur affectation...
Mais au QG aérien de l IJN , c est une autre histoire, car le taux de remplacement est très faible et tous les pilotes sont déjà affectés au sein des escadrilles...
On pourrait éventuellement envoyer les pilotes actuellement en réserve au sein de ces escadrille afin de parfaire leur entrainement, même si celui ci est déjà terminé, mais cela va épuiser totalement nos réserves, et cela n est même pas sur d etre assez pour toutes les escadrilles...

Pour info, nous avons pour le moment, pour l IJN, environ 355 pilotes de chasse en réserve et 276 pour les pilotes de bombardiers
re / en ordre general, il faut ajouter 10% au nombre des appareils au sein des escadrille pour completer les pilotes
En regardant donc le programme ci dessous, il nous faudrait 300 pilotes de chasse et presque 250 pilotes de bombardiers rien que pour les futures nouvelles escadrilles prévues, soit toutes nos réserves sans meme compter les autres escadrilles dans les prochains mois ...

on pourra tout de même compter avec le programme de retrait de certaines escadrilles qui sont régulièrement dissoute, avec les appareils remis en stock et les pilotes reversés dans les réserves....
