5 hits. OOL?

[simon33]

I’m not really sure why I didn’t expect you to do the exact same thing this game and attack Sydney.

[simon33]

Is it took late to swap out the sub buy for a transport?

[nikola1975]

@simon33

Yes, I was surprised you opened it again. I had an alternative plan, but… However, it seems I was so surprised that I forgot that these are in range of the American fleet - I should have put at least one more destroyer or a battleship here.

Sink 1 carrier and damage a third one.

Re change of a buy - I would say that once attack is under way, it can affect the decision, so I would say it should not be changed? Not sure this is the case here, but looking at it generally. What do you think?

[simon33]

sink 1 CV & damage 2 only absorbs 4 hits, am I also sinking a DD? It’s a dodgy attack for me but I’ve decided to do it anyway.

Technically correct.

Sorry.

I wanted to say sink 2 carriers and damage a third one.

@simon33 I am not sure what is going on here :) How well did I do?

[nikola1975]

@simon33 Aha, I understand. These are my die. Which means I did very well.

In that case, it is probably best to sink a carrier, a destroyer, and then 2 tacticals. I guess the computer would suggest so as well?

Sinking the 3 CVs makes me pretty happy though. Expensive but might be worth it.
