[WITP AE] - VengeneAARce - Interdit à Esteban79

[Dolfo]

Le réglage de l'altitude doit jouer un peu ? 11.000 ft pour des B-17, c'est mieux que les 20.000 et plus habituels pour des bombardiers lourds.

[max555]

Une belle fessée
Largement l'équivalent pour le Japonais de la bataille de Savo dans la vraie vie.

Oui en effet ça fait mal, excès de confiance ....

Faisons le bilan d'août :
Japon : 1 CV, 1 BB , 2 CA, 1 CL ,1DD, 3 SS
Alliés : 3CA , 3CL, 4DD

Malgré ma boulette le mois d'août est pas si mauvais.... et septembre va plutôt bien partir !

Je pense que ce n'est pas si grave, tes arsenaux vont bientôt donner à plein régime, et les navires vont sortir comme des hamburgers !!!

En effet d'ici fin 1942 je vais toucher 1 cuirassé, 1 croiseur lourd, 3 croiseurs léger et 10 destroyeurs, sans compter les 6x CVE!

C'est clair : bilan positif pour les Alliés malgré les pertes du mois d'août et comme dit Chef, la relève arrive

[Oulig]

Je suis stupéfait par la qualité de tes bombardements ! Pourrais-tu afficher les stats d'un groupe de bombardiers opérationnel, qu'on voit le niveau des pilotes ?
Et s'ils ont des stats impressionnantes, comment as tu organisé ton entrainement ?

Pour répondre à tes questions, voila les paramètres et qualité des pilotes qui ont attaqués les navires xAK et xAP





Et concernant le 4E il faut aussi considérer que 'j’attaque des attols... ça joue peut être, le peu de surface sur les résultats!

On va recevoir une bien mauvais visite ce jour, mais heureusement mes forces ariennes étaient prêtes...
En effet le KB s’attaque a une de mes flottes qui déchargent une unité à Tulagi, mais fort heureusement toute l’unité est au sol...
On va quand même perdre 10 navires, mais j'avais sectionné des navires de second rang, qui filent à 10 de vitesse, donc quasiment intitule.
Par contre le KB trouve 60 chasseur Us sur place qui vont faire un travail admirable. D’après le bilan du jeu, j'aurais détruit 28 Zéro, 21 Kate & 3 Val, pas sur que le jeu en vaut la chandelle...
