We’re in Oct 42 in my scenario 2 game as the Allies and when I happened to mouse over the Home Islands last turn what I saw shocked me. Not only could I see his factories, but the sizes were amazing. A6M2 – 300; A6M3a – 202; Oscar IIb – 101; Tojo IIa – 351; Tojo IIb – 126. I didn’t note down the bomber numbers because it was too depressing, and it appears that the Frank is well on its way to being researched. The Americans are producing, what, a 130 fighter aircraft a month? I’m following all the usual advice, choosing only to fight where I can set up ambushes of superior numbers, range, rest, morale, altitude, etc and I am achieving a 2.5-1 or greater kill ratio against his sweeps. However, after a stunning victory, it takes me weeks to recover while he is back up to normal in two days. Please tell me that there is a painful tradeoff for Japan to, in a couple of months, quadruple the size of its aircraft manufacturing industry? If so, how do I take advantage of it? Other than wait, is there anything else I should be doing? I'm starting to get a little discouraged.
