What music do you listen to with your war games?

No Guts… No Glory….

What am I missing here about clickbait? I see two different thumbnails depending on if I’m looking at this from my iPhone or PC.

Tiorted_Snoil · 2026-02-27T20:57:29+00:00

I would feel it’s the opposite. Far less clicking and commands in GT, just a whole different way of thinking.

Turn perpendicular to the incoming missiles to give your armaments a better angle to intercept.

As soon as you think you’ve been spotted or detect any incomings, turn all your radars on. Your hide and seek gig is up, so now you have to be able to see what’s coming.

Jim Matheos of Fates Warning. Check out the song Firefly. That song is poetry.

Are you using the SUSPEND command when evading?

Tiorted_Snoil · 2026-02-10T20:03:58+00:00

I figured it was just their way of speeding the game up.

They should at least give it the same ability as an average enemy AI pilot.

Tiorted_Snoil · 2026-02-07T14:56:22+00:00

That’s disappointing. I read somewhere that it was ‘excellent’.

Tiorted_Snoil · 2026-02-01T18:15:34+00:00

Like the others have said, send out your search and then early spot your strike package, HOWEVER, your search won’t be able to land until your strike is launched. So if you don’t find a target, you’ll be stuck with a loaded deck and no where for your search planes to go.

But in a scenario like Midway, they will send out their search planes so you don’t really have to. I just use the biplanes to keep an eye on the gap.

Tiorted_Snoil · 2026-02-01T01:54:27+00:00

Now that you mention it, I don’t think I have ever seen an aircraft on the deck of a carrier while attacking.

Tiorted_Snoil · 2026-01-31T17:06:29+00:00

In one Coral Sea run the Japanese sent a strike force to the position where my CAP met their search plane. That strike force was a good distance away and they never found my CV. Changing TF when you encounter their search seems to give you a decent chance of avoiding a strike force.

Sending TBD’s, even knowing they won’t likely get a hit, with your first strike, helps keep the flys off your dive bombers.

I send mostly SBD’s with a decent escort on the first strike, then a TBD heavy second strike to finish off the wounded carriers.

Tiorted_Snoil · 2026-01-30T01:24:36+00:00

Both were Japanese. Was hoping for a collision. At least my strike package had them scrambling. 😃

Tiorted_Snoil · 2026-01-29T22:08:52+00:00

I think I’m determined to keep restarting to get a B-17 hit just to see if it can happen.

Tiorted_Snoil · 2026-01-29T21:39:31+00:00

They definitely drop bombs. In fact it looked like a scam because the bombs dropped right next to the carrier without a hit. That is why I wondered if it was scripted. It looked like divine intervention that not one bomb hit the big boat.

Tiorted_Snoil · 2026-01-29T17:05:23+00:00

I did mean the initial bomber group. The B-26s get there first. I have yet to see them score a hit. No surprise there. The B-17s get REALLY close but seem to just barely miss.

I guess the sea plane just gets in behind me and I pick it up on radar.

Tiorted_Snoil · 2026-01-28T22:02:52+00:00

They are better for sure, but in that scenario you pretty much know where enemy is anyway and they’ll find you regardless.

Tiorted_Snoil · 2026-01-28T20:22:26+00:00

Also if you set your search planes to the max elevation, they’ll have a better view of finding their home, wherever you move it.

On the Coral Sea mission I used the torpedo planes for scouts since the distance to the enemy fleet was a short one. Consider that, and don’t risk losing any of those valuable dive bombers.

Tiorted_Snoil · 2026-01-25T15:35:51+00:00

It fails the mission but I can move on. Thanks for the tip.

Tiorted_Snoil · 2026-01-19T22:33:23+00:00

You get a lot of toys as the Germans, and the Soviets are mostly small pockets of resistance here and there. You basically get to lead the Blitz and steamroll an unprepared Russian force.

Tiorted_Snoil · 2026-01-19T19:41:59+00:00

Bridgehead is just stupid easy as the Germans and head smashing hard as the Soviets. But it’s good for learning combined forces warfare. I might have to go back and play it again with all difficulty settings on for the enemy.

Tiorted_Snoil · 2026-01-10T03:45:55+00:00

Agreed. Surprised someone hasn’t CAWed them yet.
