One thing about original topic about PH oil tanks. I did read that IJN carriers might not have had enough ordnance to accomplish destruction of oil tanks after hitting the ships.

If you buy from Matrix Games, you'll get Steam key for free from them when it is released on Steam.

Obviously, for me the near future release of Dune is the most important.

Considering relationship between IJN and IJA, shore bombardment had very little room in IJN doctrine or training.

You might consider War in the East 2. I was one of the beta testers and it's very good game. Lot of things (air operations and logistics) can be automated, thus saving lot of micromanagement. WitP-AE doesn't have learning curve...it has learning cliff...😁

Glad you decided to resume AE When it comes to Wake I., in my previous campaign, I managed to keep it, but it was more of a burden than asset. Difficult to supply and as partially isolated outpost, prone to surprise visit by IJN CVs etc. One bit easier to keep that IJ AI tries to get is Canton I., at least that is useful giving more security to West Coast USA - Australia/NZ supply lines. My current Grand Campaign AAR is here: https://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=4977360

Steam offers chance to become tester later.

But probably not for sale. I think they are waiting for upgrade for Bundeswehr. But there are people on this forum that would know.

One reason for M1A2 buy might also be that there are no surplus Leo 2s for sale. I think we Finns grabbed last ones from Dutch.

They did in this docuseries about HMS Duncan in 2018: https://www.royalnavy.mod.uk/news-and-latest-activity/events/tv-film-radio/181126-warship

I wonder if he was "well hung"... 😁

Mosul and Army of the Dead are pretty good.

AFAIK Swedish Strv 122 has improved roof armour.

One thing I was thinking...would it have been feasible to have APDS for 50L60 gun to keep it effective vs. enemies longer? E.g. 28mm sabot or such (somehow I have this weird idea of using 28mm Panzerbüchse 41 round as sabot...). Would that sort of thing achieve anything? After all, there was 2.8 cm KwK 42 project.

Were there any interest towards APDS in German military during WW II? AFAIK Brits were only ones really using those rounds, but would have thought after encountering Soviet heavy tanks there might have been some interest among Wehrmacht. Google says there was 105 mm one using 75mm sabot. Why not for 75mm or even for 50mm? There was this interesting discussion, but does anyone have something to add: https://www.forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?t=225989#:~:text=Yoozername Member-,Re%3A Did%2Fwhy didn't Germany deployed,75mm APDS rounds in WW2%3F&text=The Germans did have a,used in all 105mm weapons.
