@brian-cannon Has anyone else also noticed that subs are hitting defensively on a 1 an incredible amount?? in 1st round of a game I am in now, Soviet sub hit twice and on Japan attack on Pearl US sub hit once. Meanwhile my 2 fighters, Bomber and cruiser hit once, and my Japanese sub missed in first round of rolls

@tin-can-of-the-sea Yes same here, but remember according to Beamdog, there is nothing whatsoever wrong with those “random” dice

The miss rate on Battleships is crazy, in my latest game, three times I have sent two battleships to bombard, and the miss rate is 100%.

@moonzar How is your sub destroyed? You should have Japan’s defense profile set to subs submerge. The only thing that can attack it before your turn is a British cruiser and submarine, neither can prevent your sub from submerging. The only unit that can do that is a destroyer. You are needlessly losing your sub if you dont change your defense profile.

Or should I say not so random

It never ends

2 Bombers shot down, 1 left and it does 1 damage.

@marineiguana Nothing wrong with those dice LOL

@marineiguana 1German fighter survived,UK battleship and transport died

@marineiguana Boston, I expect to lose the battle and lose the transport and battleship, what amazes me is that the attack never goes bad, they never lose more than a bomber and I have never seen the Axis units survive. As opposed to the Axis attack on Sea Zone 7, this just occurred

Round 1 1 hit from 3 subs, 1 cruiser and 2 fighters

Round 2 1 hit by fighter/cruiser trio

and finally round 3 1 hit

As I have said repeatedly, I cannot buy a hit with fighters or anything whether its a 3 or less or 4 or less.

British turn 1, Again waiting for that attack on German battleship to go bad, Mazing how accurate those British fighters are!!! Battle to retake Sea zone 7 kill 2 subs and a Cruiser without loss, AMAZING!

@nosho We are in agreement on that, I feel it is a must

@nosho Pearl Harbor without the carrier is Pearl harbor light

@marineiguana Hi Boston, thanks for the reply, advice and offer. We’ve spoken before.

The Sea Zone 7 battle most of the time I do send everything, however there are a few times when I do send one sub after the Brit transport and destroyer. When the Russian turn 1 Goes well I think about taking some risk to alleviate the pressure on Germany. 90% of the time I send it all to 7 but there are times when I don’t.

Pearl Harbor light, I know your skill and record Boston and have plenty of respect for that but this is where I will disagree with you. I feel that attack is absolutely necessary, otherwise Japan places no real pressure on Russia and even struggles to survive if faced with KJF. Also the carrier that isnt attacked at Pearl can immediately threaten anything off Japan’s east coast.

I almost always stack fighters within range of Britains sea zones. If Russian attack on turn 1 killed one, I usually have 4 two in France or Northwestern Europe and two in Finland. Lets be honest though with dice rolls any decent sized fleet a carrier with two fighters, and a destroyer and cruiser is going to wipe out a fighter fleet that comes after it be it 4 fighters or 5, with little damage taken. Fighters dont hit Boston. Unless that it is they are attacking German Med fleet, then you are guaranteed one will hit.

As far as your observations on Med Fleet, I do consider them gone. My complaint isnt that I should win that battle, I certainly do not, my complaint is that battle never ever goes to hell for British player, never. As I said I saw it go bad once, two seasons ago. Meanwhile I watch Multiple German fighters miss three turns in a row, I watch the 2 fighters and a cruiser as well as two subs miss in Sea zone 7. I have watched the Sea zone 7 attack go badly, actually horribly a number of times, same with Pearl, it just never goes badly in the Med and I do find that truly curious. I find it even more curious when the battleship doesnt even cause a casualty multi times in a row

@nosho said in New Season, has there been any change to dice in ranked games?:

We’re working on implementing the dice feedback we’ve received. It’s still WIP. Stay tuned.

Is there actually something wrong with the dice though?

Waiting for a response to this question

Started a new game Pickpocket Corkscrew, I am Axis, round 1 Russian attack goes off as planned Ukraine is taken with one tank left, Battle for West Russia, Russian loses 4 infantry takes the territory, not terrible for me. Round 1 German purchase 11 infantry 2 arty, take back Ukraine, take Karelia with one Inf. Sea Zone 7 attack goes horribly I end up retreating with one fighter. Transjordan is taken without a loss. Destroyer and transport off Canada east coast is destroyed.

Round 1 British, Standard attack on German Med Battleship, 2 fighters and a bomber goes off beautifully for British player as it does always, curious if this is now scripted in the game. For third game in a row my battleship does not even record a defensive hit. British bomber lies in Egypt, I wonder if this time it will record two defensive hits like the last time. Screenshot below

Again the contrast I cant get a single hit with 2 subs, 2 fighters and a cruiser but an attack with a bomber and 2 fighters on a battleship goes off without a hitch…every single time…

Signed on this morning and saw this, this attack never ever goes bad and here again, battleship died without a defensive hit. Meanwhile I am rolling in eternity waiting for 3 or 4 fighters to hit…once.

@windowwasher If those were the exception I would completely agree with you that it wasnt too bad, problem it isn’t. As I said earlier in the post and repeatedly in my criticism of the dice in this game Tanks, fighters, cruiser, Bombers and battleships miss way way too much in comparison to infantry on defense, regardless of infantry on defense they miss way way too much. That isnt a one time thing, a two time thing, it is a repeated thing, 3 fighters missing 3 rounds happens way to frequently. Yet I laid out a comparison before of the typical Allied attack on German Battleship and Transport in the med after a successful Trans jordan attack (meaning there are no British ships attacking) two fighters and a bomber on the battleship and trans. It never fails, almost never. Should the attack be successful odds wise, yes indeed it should. However watching my fighters miss more than they hit round after round, it is amazing to me that this one attack almost never fails.

Some of the action today

Here is the attack on Egypt with one inf and one arty, with a bomber in defense, I apologize I dont have the last round where the bomber hit again in defense but I can assure you that it happened
