Fhechene Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 So, a question again over Okinawa. I'm Marine, against Japanese. We have enemy kamikazes and enemy fighters. Enemy fighters are based outside the map, and they ALWAYS patrol over Japanese ships, which are way up north, so I never encounter them. My question is, what should I do in order to make those fighters come and attack me (or friendly bombers) over Okinawa island? My guess is that something similar might happen in other campaigns that have enemy ship patrols. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idefix44 Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 Does the campaign you're playing come with DCG or is't one that you built / fiddle with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowengrin Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 I gave the DCG stock campaign a try this evening and I didn't have this issue. But then I was USN and the US carriers were the prime target of the Japanese planes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then I was USN and the US carriers were the prime target of the Japanese planes. Which means that you got carrier attack missions? Anyway, at first, I did get some dogfights.I can't verify for a month, but I guess that the Japanese ships were closer to Okinawa in the first missions, and then they started to get farther and farther. Maybe I could tell you in a month or so if that'ts true or not, If so, the issue would be to have Japanese planes assigned not to ship escort, but to airfield patrol or column protection.

Lowengrin Posted January 29, 2019 Report Share Posted January 29, 2019 Yes, I got carrier attack missions. Japanese planes should prioritize US carriers over protecting their own shipping that are moving away from Okinawa. A quick fix might be to reduce the "action radius". Then once the ships move away from Okinawa, the Japanese will focus on the action closer to the island. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I fly with Corsairs and get the missions I told you above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowengrin Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 I've been flying both Hellcats and Corsairs.... In order to get this situation, are there no Japanese held bases left on Okinawa? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowengrin Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 And your action radius? Have you tried making it smaller? It should force the Japanese squadrons based off-board to transfer to on the board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should force the Japanese squadrons based off-board to transfer to on the board. I currently don't have acces to my gaming computer, so that'll have to wait. However, if Japanese squadrons get transferred to Okinawa island, they'll get shreded to pieces beore they take-off, by nearby allied ships. That is already happening with Japanese bomber squadrons currently based on Okinawa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowengrin Posted February 2, 2019 Report Share Posted February 2, 2019 I've been tweaking the code and the Okinawa campaign data files...I can't promise it'll make a better experience but I'm trying. Fhechene 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
