  • As often as you can, send scout planes around the areas of your island.
  • In a submarine encounter where you are the attacker
    • Best results occur if you have more than one sub attacking (think wolfpack)
    • Once you fire your…

The Japanese have landed troops at Port Moresby, slipping by my submarine screen, as well as Milne Bay and Santa Cruz.  I have thwarted repeated Japnaese efforts to reinforce those positions.  At least three convoys were completed wiped out after repeated attacks.  I have landed more troops on Guadalcanal, with a count of 7,400+ tr…Read more

There are some inaccuracies that I’ve seen so far.

  • Japanese sonar in early war
  • Japanese depth charge depths
  • All merchants are armed…so can’t really conduct surface attacks with submarines

Personally, I don’t see the reasoning .  For me…I don’t use the same captain for various ships and don’t see the benefit for doing so unless you purchased an Elite Captain like Lutgens or similar.  I was able to redistribute and obtain more skills with the patch change though which enabled some of my c…Read more
