Well, I´m as far as March 13th 1942, so far about 230 jap ships have gone down (+a few more I still don´t know about) compared to 70 allied, but most losses are due to bombing, especially those jap TKs, the AI likes to send to palembang, while 160 allied planes are sitting at Batavia, wating for more targets. Sub warfare seems to be ok, maybe there should be a few more duds for the allies (although Shokaku came away cause of these dammned duds). Lost 6 allied subs so far (8 more are badly damaged, but repairing rather quickly) against 11 jap ones, with approx. 5 or 6 more badly damaged. One thing I noticed is to keep away from those jap APDs with their 8 DCs, 3 of my 6 losses are due to APDs doing ASW. the other 3 losses are caused by DDs (2 times Kido Butais escorts), jap PC/PGs and MSWs seem to be pretty useless, and AI doesn´t handle them well ( tends to send them with their TKs to palembang ;-) ), sunk about 20 !!! of them. Jap AI seems to concentrate its subs at OZ eastern coast, and they cause a couple of losses on ASW TFs (nearly 1 ASW ship for 1,75 subs), MSWs are good at hunting them down, but also very vulnerable (none survived a single hit), had some success with those old 4 stackers too.
