Panzer Strategy News

Strategic aviation (also known as long-range bomber planes) was designed to carry out bombing runs from distant locations.

It was able to destroy the enemy infrastructure even without the control of the airfields nearby. It was not efficient in dealing with naval or land forces, however, its purpose was to destroy the enemy infrastructure and disrupt its supplies and military production.

Strategic targets such as factories, cities, military bases and large supply depots were all in danger of being destroyed by strategic aviation.

In Strategic Mind: The Pacific such aerial strikes are ordered by the commander via corresponding HQ skill. It is a good way to help your troops deal with heavily fortified land bases and to destroy enemy infrastructure.

The US operates the famous Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress throughout the war.

While the Empire of Japan employes H8K2 flying boat for this purpose. Its advantage was the ability to land on water, where it could have been refueled by submarine for even longer range operations.

And let us not forget about the US B-29 Superfortress which was modified to carry out the atomic bombing of Japan in 1945.

It was a major battle in which the US Marine Corps landed on and eventually captured the island of Iwo Jima from the Imperial Japanese Army.

The Battle of Iwo Jima is one of the game scenarios in Strategic Mind: The Pacific.

Now it is time for the Empire of Japan Navy to shine:

AIRCRAFT CARRIERS
Carriers: Shokaku-class and Taiho-class
Aircraft carriers were the key to winning major naval battles at the time. Their ability to facilitate large scale aerial attacks from afar made them top priority targets on the battlefield.

Historically, the Japanese fleet lost the majority of its carrier fleet and carrier-based aviation over the few major naval battles, which preordained the course of the entire war in the Pacific.

CAPITAL SHIPS
Battleships: Nagato-class and Yamato-class
Heavy cruisers: Mogami-class and Tone-class
Capital ships embodied devastating artillery firepower. However, they were susceptible to torpedo attacks. Losing even one such a powerful vessel was a heavy blow to the entire flotilla.

Japanese battleship Yamato was arguably the most powerful capital ship across all countries fleets. Only two such ships were completed, while the third one was converted into a carrier when it became apparent that aircraft carriers would be the power that decides the course of the war.

ESCORT SHIPS
Destroyers: Kagero-class
Escort ships were the essential part of any fleet. They fulfilled a variety of duties, such as reconnaissance, fire assistance, anti-submarine protection, and others. Battleship or Carrier without Destroyers escort would have been easy prey for the enemy submarines, aircraft or vessels.

*Please note, that this is still a “work in progress”.

Here it comes, the majestic USA Navy:

AIRCRAFT CARRIERS
Carriers: Yorktown-class and Essex-class
Aircraft carriers were the key to winning major naval battles at the time. Their ability to facilitate large scale aerial attacks from afar made them top priority targets on the battlefield.

CAPITAL SHIPS
Battleships: Colorado-class and USS Iowa-class
Heavy cruisers: USS Northampton and USS Baltimore
Capital ships embodied devastating artillery firepower. However, they were susceptible to torpedo attacks. Losing even one such a powerful vessel was a heavy blow to the entire flotilla.

ESCORT SHIPS
Destroyers: Clemson-class and Fletcher-class
Escort ships were the essential part of any fleet. They fulfilled a variety of duties, such as reconnaissance, fire assistance, anti-submarine protection, and others. Battleship or Carrier without Destroyers escort would have been easy prey for the enemy submarines, aircraft or vessels.

*Please note, that this is still a “work in progress”.
