No no no no........torpedos were available only in Hiroshima and Tokyo. They were far too unstable to be toted overseas in boats. Betties and Nells should only be able to carry bombs unless they launch an AM strike from Tokyo or Hiroshima or from a base with a supply path to those cities.

Oh they are, they are..... I have a 1.5:1 ratio of ops losses to AA and flak losses. OPS losses are obviously taking into account malaria, typhus, dysentery, STDs and raging mess cooks with butcher knives along with actual deaths from non-combat crashes.

Well, that was only when they refrained from using their cannons. When those kicked in, one Zero could take out a whole Fighter Group...

Edit: actually wouldn't a samari sword swinging zero pilot make an awesome avatar for a Japanese fanboy.

Most F4U pilots would bail out at the sight of a Zero, unlike the unhistorical, farcical representation of F4U pilots in "Black Sheep Squadron".

Nothing....I made it up!

Gaijin is Japanese for foreigner (I think?). Might be "barbarian"....it's not a nice name, I don't believe.

This is true, because japanese pilots weren't trained in deflection shooting and in fact, could only hit the broad side of a barn door when they were parked on the ground and positioned directly behind the target.

Really? Interesting. Why on earth would they not be trained in deflection shooting, considering how rigirous their training was. Of course, it was probably considered a waste of bullets and the only real way to shoot down a plane was from behind.
