I got stationed at Pearl Harbor and they told me to patrol the celebes sea. So i spent 3 months (Game Time) traveling there, only to get fucked up by a convoy before i even get there, sink one ship, and haul ass back to pearl harbor licking my wounds with 1 ship out of 3 months at sea.
I think the troop ships you moved to intercept early on spotted you so far off in part because you turned your broadside to them. Eyeballs, radar (for what few Japanese ships actually have it), and active sonar will detect you from further away, when you present a larger profile.
@jefmajor One thing you might not realize (especially with passenger liners) is that at the time, even moreso for older ones, is they were VERY flammable. We're talking multiple coats of oil paint, plenty of woodwork, the whole nine yards. There's a long history of passenger liners burning right to the waterline.
Hey Jef just wanted to say I'm loving your let's plays because you actually know the game you are playing very well and you are playing it like a pro knowing exactly what to do (things can mess up sometimes that's acceptable) unlike most other LPers around youtube, and you are a great commentator as well with nice homour. Thanks for the great LPs!
@JForceX Wow, that's the first time that I can recall someone saying that Jef is good at a game. His LPs are mostly really good, but his actual playing?
@varchld That's the charm. Nothing worse than watching someone going through the motions. The fact he fucks up and learns as he goes is more entertaining.
I thought that the distance marker was the total distance traveled, so <4000 from Pearl to Target but ~4200 from Pearl to Midway to Target would be the ~1300 Pearl to Midway and then ~2900 from Midway to Target. So hitting midway would then save ~1000 Miles on the fuel.
@rupture1212 Being an American, I wholeheartedly disagree...most people I know are stupid...this probably applies to most of humanity. However, I will agree Jef is far from an idiot/

technically shooting through the fore or aft of a ship is the most deadly way to hit a ship
your shells will go straight through doing more damage than if you just got a side hit, and generally ships have the weakest hull on the fore and aft.
