AAR - Japan WW3 - The world on fire.
Posted: Jun 30 2008
First time playing japan so i have it easy, but ai on normal, fog of war off.
Japan now owns korea. I have scrapped my land bases on japan and upgraded and built more on korea. I have also ordered all planes and ships except for transport ships to be sold. I will move the whole army to korea as this is th only place i am likely to be attacked.
I was quite suprised by the jap units, they can even research the b-52 which suprised me. I have put this onto research aswell and a few of the good destroyers and the j-lav unit because they are so hard hitting. I am just wondering whether japan will get a good destroyer in a few tech levels times like europe and US does. I like the long range ships.
However my main concern is to rebuild the jap economy so that it can support most of my needs (except for uranium) and any resources i am unable to get i will steal from china when the inevitable war breaks out between us.
I am researching the hard hitting m1-a kami IFV, this has exceptional stats but also a long build time for infantry (over 50 days). However, they will help my army to kill the chinese forces easily. I plan to have several lines of defence.
Once i have pushed them out of korea then i will reduce it to just a frontline and use the reserves to push out the front in the hope of taking many of their bases by my forces.
I will also rebuild the jap navy and airforce with modern and very hard hitting equipment. The army will be recieving ws-1b's and the navy the shipwreck missile. For the airforce, there will be b52s carrying long range anti fort missiles in order to destroy bases. I will also unleash a hail of these on any ws-1bs that are near my front in order to protect my advance.
I hope my ws-1b's can catch any enemy planes on the ground as a few times they have been well in range and not fired on planes that are just waiting to be destroyed.
I have also put the ddx3 into construction. Even though this ship can only fire 55km it does have the ability to hit high air targets from over 360km away. It also has a very good asw stat and this makes this type of ship very appealing to me. Also, to provide transport around the world later on, i have put into construction wasp and sacramento tranposts. The latter will also be used to supply ships as my ddx's only have a range of 9000km. This is just enough to go from africa to south america and back and is only one of the 2 faults i find with this ship. It has crap gun range and crap range of action. However anti ship has been improved by the addition of the 800km ship wreck missile.
