And 11th, and 13th. The Germans had 13 parachute divisions, which was more than double the number of American divisions.

Take a gander at the spelling of grown men in these fora and ask yourself if there is hope.

True enough KF, but you hear it more in reference to early ironclads. The only way wooden ships could effectively damage the ironclads was by plunging shells down on the thin decks.

Take a look at his other posts and ask yourself if there is any hope for the lad.

Since Mr. Picky isn't here, I'll jump in and say that ISTR some of the aerial bombs the Japanese used were actually modified naval shells fitted with fins. But either way....Originally posted by Michael Dorosh:</font><blockquote>quote:</font><hr />Originally posted by stoat:
One thing about using shallow running gear on your torpedoes, like at Taranto and Pearl Harbor, is that you're likely to hit thicker armor near the waterline and need more torpedoes to flood the ship adequately. And the Arizona was certainly a bomb hit.
EDIT or I could just read Kettles' post...doh.... </font>

Anyone know where Berli lived before he moved to Lake in the Woods? He actually sounds familiar.

Lad, just about anywhere you go people are going to be much older than you. Whereabouts in Chicago do you live?Originally posted by Uberpickle:I'm 17 going on 18. It seems whenever I get into a game community, many people are soo much older than me (I play a lot of sims and stuff).

I happen to know a couple personally. Nice enough folks, the lot of them. Not all that bright, though. Fits the stereotype perfectly.
Mr. Radley. Do I owe you a turn?

You can read as many opinions here as you like, but the best way to learn is to test things out yourself.Originally posted by Uberpickle:Thanks guys. But for certain quick battles I've been generating, I don't have the big guns but I am refining my man-to-track coverage strategies and my timing(it's super important I've realized, like I'd wait 3 turns for my ground pounders to get up to my armor or vice versa just to get a job done).

It's actually surprising that the US was not at war with Germany before December 11th, 1941 with all of the incidents in the Atlantic Ocean. Not only were merchant ships interfered with, but there were also engagements with US naval ships, a la Reuben James. The US was almost as intent on finding the Bismarck as Great Britain was.

For dug in positions, having heavy weapons support is almost a must. Make sure your MGs and mortars are in a position to cover your advance. They will keep your enemy's head down while your riflemen get in close. To cross that last stretch of open ground before engaging your enemy, some smoke from arty or vehicles may be in order. If you are having a rough time, try to bring up some armor to provide close support. Make sure you keep it screened with your infantry so it won't take a panzerschreck to the snot locker.
You more than likely won't be able to advance all across the map at the same time. Try to achieve fire superiority over one portion of the battle, and attack there. Then you can shift your fire to other areas and use your infantry to roll up the enemy flanks.

The blast effect of a gun can be found be highlighting the unit, and hitting enter. The blast is displayed as a number below the general information and above the armor penetration values, or about in the middle.

The problem with the Royal Navy was that despite its large number of capital ships, many were very old and all required large amounts of maintenance. The RN could only field a fraction of its BBs at a time because dockyard space and labor was devoted to smaller ships needed to hunt U-boats, rather than units used to deal with German surface ships. Even the ships that did get to sea were often plagued by maintenance issues. Given the scope of SC2, I don't think that representing every British BB afloat between 1939 and 1947 would be true to accurately representing naval combat in the second world war.
